gjv001 Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 It seemed to me that Ryan Lewis was playing well and solidifying the CB spot across from White. The last I heard he was declared a healthy deactivation from the 53 man roster a couple weeks ago. Does anyone have any credible imformation about Lewis's deactivation?

He's likely to start this week with the departure of Gaines who was waived yesterday. 1
Soda Popinski Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 McDermott is all over the place with this #2 CB spot. They go with Gaines all season, then they cut him?? now brought up a guy from the PS to compete as well.
MrEpsYtown Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 They signed Dontae Johnson to take a look at him. He was terrible and released. I suppose they were giving Gaines the look since he earned it in the off season and was healthy. Pitts dresses because he is a core special teams guy. I agree, Lewis looked pretty good in action and now we will see him playing again.
BmarvB Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 I thought Lewis was fairly solid and should be on the field more. With Ganes out of the picture, we should see more of him going forward This move could turn out to be an upgrade if he keeps up his play.
kirkwoodus13 Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 I don't know what these coaches are looking at when they watch the tape. Gaines doesn't know how to play the football, has slow catch up speed and panics when he is in position to make a play. I am happy Lewis is starting, but I don't want to see him playing five feet of his coverage responsibility. Lewis is physical and a great tackler. Thought he played really well in green bay, then the coaches put him on the bench. Any way coaches now cut 82, 2,10 THEY SUCK
starrymessenger Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Not surprised to see them give Gaines his shot ahead of Lewis, though it didn't work out. Lewis is fine as long as the play is in front of him but he has trouble defending longer game busting routes. He's an athletic freak no doubt but despite his straight line speed, he often loses a step when he turns and for some reason he is slow to recover. I guess the juice in his 40 time is more towards the end than the beginning. Looking forward to seeing what Wallace can do.
MiltonWaddams Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Tough to question too much on the defensive side of the roster this season with the O looking like dog turd, but after Lewis' play vs the Vikings and Packers, I'm not too sure what the coaches were seeing that had them put Gaines in.
ctk232 Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Gaines didn't exactly earn the job in the offseason as we all thought Vontae would pan out at DB2, despite some on here correctly predicting his age making him irrelevant. But when Vontae quit, Gaines was next on the depth chart that had earned his place there, and became a regular replacement that was only really worked into our nickel sets before then. I know people don't ever want to do it, but gotta give credit to McD for letting him go mid-season and start testing out the depth and roster with Lewis and Wallace. I just hope this doesn't mean we get more big nickel instead of seeing more Lewis, Taron, and Wallace... Edited November 7, 2018 by ctk232 1

unbillievable Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 The coaching staff is using this year to evaluate players. The Bills are playing 20 pre-season games. 4

I'll give you the Colts game but subtract 14 of those 41 points from the Bears because they scored two defensive TDs. So, in reality the defense only allowed 27 points, which isn't terrible. There was also another offensive turnover that set the Bears up just outside the red zone. 1
