Guys that are young and good at playing tackle don’t get cut like that. Bobby Hart? You're too funny. You missed your calling you should be doing stand up comedy. Bobby Hart is a sieve. 😁

Guys that are young and good at playing tackle don’t get cut like that. Guys get cut for lots of reasons. He's not fully back from a hamstring injury and has 2.6 mil cap hit for the Lions this year. They need a swing tackle now. He was their 6th lineman last year and played well. He 'll get a shot somewhere. Probably not by the Bills; it's puzzling they added a game and didn't expand rosters at all, especially with the pandemic still going on.
Turk71 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Bleacher Report gave him a 2nd round grade and said his pro comparison was Cordy Glenn ☺ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2769322-tyrell-crosby-nfl-draft-2018-scouting-report-for-detroit-lions-pick

The same is true at both G spots. These are 2 weak areas that other teams will seek to exploit. Ford needs to take a huge leap this year or he'll be gone. Feliciano is better than most backups, but not quite starter quality. Wallace will get picked on a lot as always, but I'd still like to keep him as our CB3 or CB4. Did you even watch the games last year after Feliciano came back? He elevated the play of the whole line.

Teams simply do not get rid of quality OTs (other than the old Bills with Jason Peters but that no longer counts). Now, if a team as bad as the Lions lets one go, there is simply no reason to think that he is any good. 1 hour ago, Turk71 said: Bleacher Report gave him a 2nd round grade and said his pro comparison was Cordy Glenn ☺ https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2769322-tyrell-crosby-nfl-draft-2018-scouting-report-for-detroit-lions-pick Yes but the negatives that they list make him sound pretty bad.

Utah John Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 The Bills just got finished making cuts including of some quite good players. They have built a roster that makes sense for the moment. When injuries inevitably come, if they're mostly in one position area, then McBeane might make some moves.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 8 hours ago, Wizard said: I like that he has played 38 games in the NFL and started 18 games, including RT as well as some crossover experience at LT and guard. The Lions are a messy organization, but there starting five o-line is above average as a unit with Decker, Ragnow, and Penei Sewell. I think Brown becomes a starter down the road and will be a solid backup this year. I am not as high on Doyle being a difference-maker this year. He has raw ability and measurables, but being on the PS I think will give him experience. I just personally think a guy like Crosby is super-low risk, he has starting experience, some versatility, and I believe he would contribute more this year than Doyle for a Super Bowl aspirational team. National media has also indicated Crosby as a younger surprising cut with some upside still in his game. Thus, my initial interest as a possible short or long-term OL upgrade. Thanks for the detailed answer. Appreciate it. I thought the Lions had one of the worst OLs in the league last year? So what makes Crosby low risk? I mean, Bobby Hart had 66 games starting experience..... I think you're right that Doyle needs seasoning, the concern is that Doyle may have showed enough to be poached if he's cut and goes through waivers. 1
maryland-bills-fan Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Maybe they are trying to sneak him through waivers and put him on the IR list.
BigAl2526 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I wouldn't be upset if Buffalo swapped out Crosby for Doyle, but I don't think it's a urgent need. Though he's young, Brown has already flashed impressive ability. If they had to put him in, they can probably get by with Doyle, and if he struggles, Ryan Bates can play tackle. Doyle should continue to improve through the season.
