KingRex Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 go after? Shady of course. However, I think we will likely see these players become fixtures on other teams Duke Williams (I think he should have won a job here as we are missing a go-to WR redzone battle winner) Eddie Yarbourough (convinced me with his standout performance against MN) Marcus Murphy (WHEN Gore'36 year old body goes down we will really miss Shady)
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 What does my roster look like? Maybe Wade because I like the way he runs but he’s older and needs to learn. But that’s probably it.

Also, being the 7th WR he is unlikely to be active on game day. So no big deal other than trying to develop him to become a #3 or #4 WR for next year (or for injuries) 1

We will see more TE sets at the endzone. Good point 1

Very true! Thought maybe they would have kept Yarbourgh and who knows what will happen if he's not signed, does he end up back here or even if signed elsewhere all of a sudden a team loses to LB's so they need to sign someone and the extra DE, Yarbourgh gets released and we re-sign him down the road. As far to as his performance against the Vikes, yes he did stand out, but with and against probably over 50% of the players who like him are now out of a job

I agree with the rest of your post though- I wish we had kept Williams
CaptnCoke11 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I don’t see any cut Bills that will be on waivers getting claimed.

mrags Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I would have Kept Yarborough and Williams. I would have made a way to keep Shady and or Murphy in the roster as well. If that meant going without Lee Smith and Dimarco, that would have been my choice.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Was bummed to see A#1, Cale, and Charlie go, but we got better at both positions. They'll both be playing somewhere, just not here.

Well, luckily, Williams made it to the practice squad. Hopefully he can grind it out and continue to progress. Hopefully Yarborough doesn’t get picked up either. I’m sure within 1-2 weeks, we’ll have some injuries and be able to bring these guys up from the PS or in Eddies case, just get him back on the roster. 1
Bob in STL Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Marcus Murphy could not block, not even a little bit, that was his undoing.

He may have worked on his blocking and still not got there. Last year his pass blocking was atrocious, he had a hard time even chipping a pass rusher and flaring out to a safety valve. Pretty decent runner. 1
