We need to cut 5 players. Who are they?

Can we cut Bobby Hart 5 times?

We need to pray that the injuries to Brown and Doyle don’t place them on the IR.  If they do, Mr. Hart might be the bee swing tackle week 1 😪

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Tyler Gauthier, C
Tariq Thompson, S

Bug Howard, TE

Marquel Lee, LB

Treyvon Hester, DT

[ColoradoBills]

WR Bug Howard

C Tyler Gauthier

DT Treyvon Hester

MLB Marquel Lee

WR (insert name here)  I want to go with Tanner Gentry (but the Josh thing) OR Brandon Powell (but with Stevenson banged up he probably

stays to final cutdown) OR Duke Williams (Beane gives him a chance to find another team and if he can't the "Duke" would be happy

to get a chance to come back for a PS spot if needed).

 

Way too many WRs currently on the roster (13) not to cut at least 1 and probably 2.

Need to give a good chance to look at the remaining guys.

 

Edit:  Duke news.

Agree on Mike Love, think he fits the role of give him some extra time to make another teams roster

Disagree on T Thompson, thought he's looks decent

Wasn't McCloud the guy with the Int yesterday??  Think I'd hang onto him as maybe he has trade value??

 

I'd go;

Love

Howard

Devey

Hester

Powell  He also may be able to latch on elsewhere with some extra time

 

Hart is the wild card and to a lesser degree Love, Howard due to injuries in yesterdays game.  If some of these are serious may want to hang onto some of these guys for camp bodies the coming week, instead go with positions with the most depth and know they'd be gone by next week anyway.

 

I think a trade gets made with some of our depth guys and pick up a good backup OT.  If that happens then think Doyle somehow ends up on season ending IR, same could happen with Hamlin at S

 

On a side note, kind of funny how the system went a few years back with multiple cut down dates, to last could of years only one cut down date, now back the other way. 

 

I like it this way better as gives something to talk about  other than threads about the upcoming Ertz trade!

I get Thompson looks decent but you have to pair down the safeties at some point and he’s low man. Poyer, Hyde, Johnson, Hamlin, Thomas all will be or have a better shot at the roster. Only way I don’t see him cut this round is simply because Jaquan Johnson Is hurt and may not play and they need an extra body for the final preseason game

Agree with the first three you listed, not sure if he's behind Thomas or Hamlin??  He likely is only because they drafted Hamlin, will admit Hamlin looked better yesterday.

[ColoradoBills]

I don't see a CB, NCB or S getting cut this round.  Bills are thin (only 3 deep) on all backfield positions.

It seems to me there are a lot of 4 deep positions these cuts come from.

Now maybe a DB shakes loose they like and bring him in but only then will they cut someone.

Time to bump this because its that time again 5 more to get to 80

 

Hart

Devey

Powell

Hester

 and Duke to get to 80

 

Fair to bump this one, I guess.

 

OK, Sal Capaccio's roster list, current as far as I know.

 

 

Take a look.  Also helpful to look at the snap counts for the Bears game.

Guys at the top of the depth chart who got no or few snaps may be "close to lock" status, but guys at the bottom of the depth chart who got few or no snaps, and those in the 4th Q, are potential cuts.

Marquel Lee is off of the Covid list, as per the 13 snaps he played vs Chicago. 
 

Just jumped out at me because I was curious who was on that list

I don’t get the need to the 5 player cut down. And then a massive cut at the end. Just have a single cut day. Why make it so convoluted 

 

I believe the idea is to get guys a chance to get to other teams with time to still evaluate them.

 

We had several guys picked up to get a look and have a shot versus weaker guys on other teams.

I think Mike Love, DE and Trevon Hester DT get cut.  Neither of them played and it's not because they're considered "locks" nor have I heard about them as injured.

Bug Howard got 11% of the snaps (8) and again not because he's considered a "lock", so that's one where I agree with you.

 

With the number of WR they appear to want to "bubble wrap" I'm not sure we're cutting a WR.

I still think he was on the Covid list on the date of the tweet (8/15).  Steven Gonzalez was released to make room for him so maybe an updated chart would help.

 

Here's an updated chart...

I am pretty sure they want Tariq on the PS though. They usually make those cuts last. The next batch will be guys the Bills do not see being here long term.

I think this is very close to the list that will go this week. One of Olaijah Griffin and Nick McCloud possibly if they want to keep one of the linemen to help protect their starters in game 3? Maybe I am wrong but I think ideally in the Bills mind the starting lineup for the Packers would be pretty much all backups:

 

QB Davis Webb

RB Matt Brieda

WR1 Brandon Powell

WR2 Duke Williams

WR3 Lance Lenoir

TE Nate Becker

LT Bobby Hart

LG Jack Anderson

C Jordan Devey

RG Jamil Douglas

RT Tommy Doyle (if healthy)

 

DE Boogie Basham

DT Brandin Bryant

DT Treyvon Hester

DE Darryl Johnson

LB Tyrell Adams

LB Joe Giles-Harris

LB Tyrel Dodson

CB Cam Lewis

S Damar Hamlin

S Josh Thomas

CB Rachad Wildgoose

 

Something like that.

Those are both players I considered for this list but chose to leave them off. The reason being I think between Phillips' injury and potentially wanting to "bubble wrap" the young DEs who have already shown plenty, they may need DLine numbers against Green Bay.

If Tommy Doyle wasn't hurt, he would be cut.  He is terrible.  Worse than Hart.

I think they will want to get Doyle back on the PS and work with him and they won't have any problem doing that unless he just decides he would rather be on a PS elsewhere. Nobody is claiming him because he has, as you state, been at least as bad as Bobby Hart.
