The Jokeman Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 2 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: I'm beating a dead horse, but how does 10 OL and 5 CBs, several of whom are dinged up or have major injury history, make sense? We might be looking for better CB to be cut.

Yep, really hoping Cam makes it to the PS as I'm sure Beane and McDermott are too. Got to let the dust settle to see what else is done with the entire roster makeup.

We'll have to wait and see what Allen does in 2020. But if no appreciable improvement, then Fromm can challenge for the starting spot in 2021. Thats why Beane drafted Fromm. To give him an out incase Allen does not progress. From camp reports he has a lot of work to do just to be a good backup. Slow down on challenging to be a starter. If Allen isn’t the answer you can bet another, more physically gifted QB, will be brought in. 2

As deep as they’ve built the roster they can afford to include players and multiple picks to move up in a draft for a top tier quarterback prospect. Fromm at best case scenario is a backup in this league. 1

I did no such thing. I answered a question. If there is one position on a McDermott team not to get excited about it's DBs.

Marlow also has played the slot corner position. Lewis and Jackson will be on the practice squad. This is the same numbers they started last year with I believe. This does not strike me as a problem.

Fred Slacks Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Cardinals cut Hakeem Butler. I was pretty excited about that guy last draft. I realize we aren’t adding anyone. But....
Turbo44 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 46 minutes ago, FLFan said: No. Just where you are wrong, at least in this case. Feliciano hits IR and I’m guessing the bills trade an olineman to clear the 2nd spot?? if Fromm or hodgins would have been cut they would have been claimed. I don’t think k Fromm will be cut. Barclays contract is up after this year and best case scenario, Fromm progresses this year and next offseason and takes over backup QBs. feliciano and Jones will be ir’d (and eligible to come back week 4) with Roberts and Marlowe resigned. I think they may trade an OL too to open up another spot, which I would expect to be a waiver claim. 1
eball Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Interesting cuts. Didn’t see Roberts being cut and didn’t see Fromm sticking. We’ll see what happens this week. Let’s go get those Jets!!

Manther Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 59 minutes ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Disagree, Lee Smith is a complete liability every time he touches the field. And Jones is a classic no impact journeyman running back who of course plays Special Teams. Better hope we don’t need a cornerback. Agree with Smith. I like Jones.

CEN-CAL17 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Quote from 3 weeks ago.... Been saying it for months now..... Roberts could be a surprise cut. But everyone thinks hes still the Roberts of 2016. His longest punt return last year was 22 yards. 8 yard avg. What 32 years old? Do you keep him and put Hodgins on the PS to possibly be scooped up? Then have to drop Roberts to place Hodgins on the 53, or who do you drop? Can McKenzie return punts? McKenzie is solid on the fly sweeps and made some big plays periodically last year on the field..... I still say: Diggs Brown Beasley Davis McKenzie Hodgins But but Roberts is respected in the ST room. 8 yard avg last year, was 14 the year before.... IMO NFL teams are not scared of Roberts in 2020. I think they are looking and building returners for a possible replacement. 90% of the time its a fair catch anyway..... PRETTY SURE I NAILED THAT! 7 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Except he'll be signed back. What makes you say that?
