He also was the best punt returner we have had in the last two decades. (McGhee returned kickoffs primarily) If you can direct me to a better one, please do. Roberts was not that last year. He fumbled another punt return against New England in 2014 on MNF. https://fansided.com/2015/11/23/bills-leodis-mckelvin-fumbles-return-video/ Then there was the KC game. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/11/09/bumbling-bills-fumble-away-17-13-loss-to-chiefs/18775595/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have WAY more depth now at DE and WAY more flexibility along the line period...Johnson is young and cheap...Just don't see the logic in keeping Murphy for one year over that kid who will be dirt cheap and the Bills property for 3 more years minimum...? The logic would be - Murphy is better lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgins is a developmental prospect and unless he has a great showing at camp (if we have one) then he’s a long shot to make the roster. I assume pretty much every returner is taking kicks from out of the end zone. What data do you have that shows Roberts is the only guy whose numbers are inflated for ALWAYS returning punts 8 yards deep? Regardless of your feelings, Roberts was top 5 in kickoff returns, top 10 in punt returns and as a team we were 9th in starting field position. He’s apparently doing his job well so I’m confused as to why you are so adamant on trying to replace him. Agree on Hodgins. He has many guys to beat out for a role here in Mckenzie, foster, williams - who are all 26 or younger, and have played in the league. 35 WRs were drafted this year, and he was #30. If so many teams wanted him, and he was so talented he probably isn't selected that late. He has a chance to stick, but he's likely inactive on gamedays if he made the roster. He seems like a PS candidate, and developmental guy. If they're concerned about keeping him, they could also IR him. He can't practice but it keeps him safe going into 2021.

If so I'd put them on the PS. I love the security we get with Andre Robert's as our return guy and I just would like to keep that. I also like the versatility Marlowe, Neal and Poyer bring as OLB depth in an emergency situation. I think our WRs will get situation roles where you'll see Hodgins get some time in the slot to split with Beasley and in red zone situations. I could see the same with Gabe Davis spelling Brown down in the redzone... I think Bass makes it and Vedvik beats out Corey B. Gives us a backup kicker and backup KOS. Vedvik has a huge leg and he can concentrate on punting. I'm super pumped. The roster Beane and McDermott put together is so stacked and everything is accounted for and backed up. Go Bills. Edit: It was originally a 55 man projection. Thanks to Logic for clarifying the details with that. "There isn't a 55. It's still a 53. The new rules state that you can bring two people up from your practice squad on a game week, but at the conclusion of that game, they must be released (and thus, subject to waivers), and then can be placed back on the practice squad. If you choose to keep the two new players on your active roster, you must release two other players. At the conclusion of each game week, there must still be 53 players on the roster." Credit to a couple people to convinced me to keep Daryl Johnson as well. And after some thinking and good points in this thread, I decided to PS Robert Foster. Credit to RichNoggin for convincing me to keep Corey Thompson. I really liked your lineup but 1) there is no way they keep Bates over the Carolina kid at the cheapo price they got him at 2) I somehow think they find a way to have Joseph on that final 53. He supposedly is bulked up now and he is a lethal hitter. So not sure if they slot him in place of Marlowe or as an extra LB.

Unless he gets injured I see Daryl Williams competing for the starting RT position and making the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty98 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Vosean Joseph makes the team over Thompson, Matekavich replaces Thompson skill wise and S/T play as well. Odds are our three starting LB are Milano/Edmunds/Joesph. If Trey Adams and Daryl Williams are both healthy I think they make the team over Bates and Nsekhe.

custcarcen Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I think Trey Adams has to get hurt in the pre-season or else be on the 53. I read (sorry don't remember where) that he was THE most sought after free agent in the entire NFL after the draft, so he would be claimed before we could put him on the practice squad I suspect. His bonus was supposedly substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the roster limit will continue to be 53 for 2020, two players from the practice squad may be brought up to increase roster sizes to 55 on gameday, with those two players reverting back to the practice squad after gameday. Practice squads will also be increased in size from 10 players to 12 beginning this season.Mar 15, 2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like if he proved himself if we only kept 8 could kick bates out and we could put Bates on the P squad if eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 If Daryl Williams comes out and plays like he can and stays healthy.... there’s no way I see the Bills cutting a 28 year old one time All Pro who is under a money saving deal.... but then you have Nsekhe who is 36, 1 year left for twice as much who can’t stay healthy..... “But he’s our backup LT”, he couldn’t be counted on last year being a backup right tackle!!! He tweaks anything in preseason he has to go! There’s a huge love for Nsekhe and I just don’t see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
