Might not be just a Beasley thing - could be to protect from Brown being sidelined, too. I saw that move as McD taking one from Belichick's book of tricks and stashing Brown to get the roster spot back without having to IR him. But that's a wild guess on my part. 1

Diggs has to have someone to draw coverage. I think they are worried they could be without bease and smoke at the same time out of precaution, not prediction. 1

The reality is that BOTH Beasley & Brown are questionable going into the playoffs. However it's likely that Brown will be able to go this week and week one of the playoffs and Beasley is likley to be available by week 2 of the playoffs. Worst case scenario is both Brown & Beasely are unavailable for the first playoff game and the best case scenario is that they're both available. So it makes sense to pad the roster depth at WR in the event the worst case scenario plays out. Smart, proactive move by the Bill's front office. The Bills were probably not expecting Kumerow to be snatched, so he's actually a replacement for Jake. 5 1

Agreed I think this is just let be safe and sign this guy, he's been waiting on a playoff team to sign with and Buffalo sure fits that. 1

I feel like they are two different levels of player. Kumerow is a PS guy who got elevated, not a legit starter. I think the kid from Seattle who visited yesterday is his replacement. 1

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 They aren’t going to IR Beasley. so the question is who gets cut or IR’d?

That's in line with my point about Brown; if he's down, and if Beasley is hobbled, our aspirations would be similarly hobbled without some help. I'll add another layer to the onion. I completely agree with the your point the Stills thing is probably borne of a desire to protect from losing both Beasley and Brown at the same time. But, if we 're looking at running into Miami again, or if we just want to add another element to our offense that has worked in the past, playing Stills could let us put speed in the slot again. I think Daboll did this in 2018 (Thompson and Foster, perhaps??), and I think it was against Miami in the last game of the season. Not a bad wrinkle to consider with the Beasley injury.

Wouldn't he just replace Brown on the roster? I didn't think he counted being on the covid list. I also think Diggs can run some more slot and is at least as shifty as Beasley. You just bring Stills in on the outside and hopefully keep it as simple as possible for him. Lots of go routes to start.
JMF2006 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 47 minutes ago, The BLUES Brothers said: Chris Brown reporting this is going to happen. The Dolphins radio guy on WGR and said he really liked Stills when he was with the Dolphins and seemed depressed the Bills are getting him. Well if I were a FA WR I think the Bills with Josh would be a far more attractive destination over the TUA led Fins. Josh gets the ball out to WR's downfield and spreads it around consistantly throwing for 300+ yds. Tua is captain checkdown at this point and 90 to 150yd games are common. Not to mention the revenge factor involved. 1

Haven't heard anything...from what they said it was from contact tracing that was done which means it isn't a positive test and as far as we know he hasn't tested positive. If he did it would have been reported. 1

What I like about stills is the position flexibility— being able to Play both in the slot and outside. Seems like a great depth signing going into the playoffs.
