So does that mean he takes Love's spot or do they keep 5 as I suggested? Trade one, and wouldn't be that opposed to it being Lawson as he likely could bring the most in return, maybe a decent swing tackle. Good chance he's not re-signed next year anyway as going to want big $$, and unless he really plays much better than past , may not be worth it.

starrymessenger Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Lacey is a good ST player. To the extent he improves his standing as an adequate backup LB he helps himself a lot. Johnson absolutely makes the 53 based on what (little) I have seen so far, some of which is downright eyepopping. He has the traits of a good pass rushing DE and now everybody knows it. Word gets around fast. Try to put him on the PS and kiss him goodbye. Whoever scouted this guy for the Bills deserves a raise. Edited August 17, 2019 by starrymessenger 1
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Crowded LB room right now, there are about 9 guys who could conceivably make a roster
Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Yarborough has done little and is likely a goner. 1

Imo if the team used a pick on someone and they look halfway decent in camp/preseason they have a leg up on guys like Yarbrough
whatdrought Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 My personal thing is, don’t get rid of guys who get to the QB. Whether it’s practice, or 3rd stringers in pre-season, sacks are all about effort and feeling. If they can do that on any level, there’s a chance they can do it against real deals.
MAJBobby Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Keep 4 DTs (Shaq can play 3 tech in a pinch) and 5 DE. It really doesn’t need to be harder than that. 2 1

Weird we are finally in a position where we can say we have depth that could be used to get Picks prior to cut down day.

njbuff Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 They should carry 5 DE’s on the active roster. Lawson Murphy Hughes Love Johnson Pretty good group, especially if the final two find a way to produce (Love and Johnson). 1

So true and so nice to be able to say this about our Bills. Applies to multiple positions like WR, CB, and RB, IMO anyway. Speaks volumes about Beane and his team and the coaching staff as well. What a nice problem to have. It's still preseason of course and us Bills fans love to get ahead of ourselves but I think this is truly the case this year. (knock on proverbial wood)
thebandit27 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I think they keep 4 DEs: Hughes, Murphy, Shaq, and Johnson They'll probably try to sneak Love onto the PS, as he's made fewer plays that pop on film compared to Johnson, so he'll probably be in lower demand on the claims circuit. Even though Shaq isn't a big EDGE threat, LorAx and Edmunds can give them enough snaps out there that they won't be limited in their ability to rotate EDGE rushers.

Nearly every personnel group has this dilemma to some extent. Just think, the Bills with an embarrassment of riches.

Murphy, Shaq, Johnson, Yarborough, Love- one of them has to go. Murphy and Johnson are staying IMO. So it's one of the other 3 that is a goner. WR, TE, LB, S and DE are very tough cutdowns

Zero chance he clears waivers. I agree, without the stats Darryl Johnson has been generating, the Bills might have sneaked him on to the PS, but that's looking pretty unlikely now. He is essentially forcing his way on to the 53 man roster. Mike Love has been something of a training camp darling, but he's not getting his name mentioned in the games so far.
DCofNC Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I don't see Johnson being waived, he isnt exactly where you want him in terms of weight, but that was known before you took him. He reminds me of Manny Lawson a bit. That's pretty big for late round guy. I would expect Yarborough to be released and them to keep Johnson on the roster as a back up to zo/de. He could fill what Zo does in the box, but there's no substitute for experience as a LB, so that's asking a lot. Also, I find it hard to believe Joseph will be let go, his colege career was very productive, he seems to be translating it well to the pros, with Milano's success, I cant imagine them ditching him after investing a pick in him and seeing good on field production. 2
