I’ve given up on him, McKenzie, and Duke for anything, but the PS. I say that because the positives so far in Davis and Hodgins and they are cheap labor is great for the 53. I don’t know how much the first three are enticing to other teams if on the PS. There is an argument to keep them there as they know our system. That was me. McCoy seemed to be someone who could get through his expectations of being an Alabama player. You could see his attitude change back to what it was pre McCoy. For Foster the best thing which could happen to him is Bills trade him to Tampa Bay for future considerations. 2

Reks Ryan Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 6 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: I agree about veteran presence and all but the evidence is starting to pile up as to his time in Buffalo coming to an end. His offensive snap count last year was the lowest since his rookie season. His special teams snap count went down from 233 to 156 last year. He accepted a 700k pay cut this year. He is 31 years old on the last year of his contract. If Gilliam beats him out in TC even with his 500k dead money the team saves 800k in cap. Taking the pay cut may keep him here for his last year (Gilliam to PS) but I don't think Pat is in any long term plans for the future. I am rooting for Gilliam to make the time. Nothing against Dimarco. If he is the better player then keep him. But he is average at best, and the FB position and STs that Dimarco plays is an area where the Bills can improve talent while getting younger and more cost efficient. It drove me crazy the last couple years, when Dimarco would line up split out wide on the line of scrimmage. A complete waste to have him lined up in a wide out position. I understand it is to try and create a mismatch somewhere else. But it seemed like they might as well play 10 on 11 because he is no threat from that position. If Daboll is going to keep using that formation, Gilliam would seem to bring more athleticism and passing catching ability to at least be a threat against a LB 2

Splitting the FB out wide is designed to force the defense to tip it's hand, showing the QB which coverage it will be in for that play. In chess, it is sacrificing a pawn to get a shot at the queen. 1

Precisely this. No team would ever fall for it and double cover DiMarco though which..... oh hang on...... Houston calling. 6 hours ago, whatdrought said: Too bad he’s wearing a stupid number.

I understand the point Lime, and you were probably kidding. If not, Foster won’t make a Bucs roster. They have too much talent in Godwin, Evans, the TE’s, Miller, Hurst, Johnson, Franklin, Grayson, Mickens, Watson, Pearson, and Mitchell. A bunch of these guys will get cut, as down here they are already reporting the will rely heavily 12 and 13 personnel. In 12 they’ll most likely use Gronk, Brate, Evans, Godwin, and one of the RB’s. Those other names are going to have to be excellent ST’ers, and many are good. Early word down here is Miller is having a good beginning of camp. Given Fosters drop, I doubt the Bucs would even consider working him out. I have nothing against Foster so maybe a shot at a bad team like Washington or Cincy. Maybe he turns it around on another team.

Hard to imagine he’ll put it together somewhere else but I don’t wish him ill will. 1

That was on Allen; true. Daboll set it up well, actually. How the heck do two Houston defenders bit on DiMarco? That's great! Josh should have found somebody else open. Therein was the flaw in the play.
