Particularly when they focus on it and then it lets them down in the biggest game of the year

 

 

That's an excellent proof that STs matter. They win and lose games, sometimes important ones.

 

They didn't lose that because they paid the STs guys too much. They lost because (it sure looks like) the STs coach made a mistake. And he's gone now.

You and Ralph would’ve been great belly up to the bar, arguing over who pays for the next $3 round of Stroh’s…

 

I think he is more of a Genesee Creamer.

[SCBills]

Prior to this signing, we had Diggs, Davis and two late round picks that we have no clue about.  Kumerow gives us a special teams player as WR depth, who Josh has experience with.  

 

How could anyone be upset with this?  

 

I highly doubt he's any higher than WR5 come September.

Can't splash.  Reputed to be able to walk on the water.

is it?

 

Or is it proof that the kicker instead of kicking it short kicked a touchback, which has zero to do with the kick coverage team.

Well, so much for being under the cap...😉

So - there's a roster position up for grabs - will it revert to rb or maybe get allocated somewhere else? TE?

 

It is a good question. It is linked to who gets the returner job too. Stevenson will get a shot but man he disappointing as a rookie.

This is another indicator that Buffalo is a player destination.  Kumerow could've gone to Green Bay.  He's a hard worker, a special teams strength, and is a good blocker.  And he knows his job.  

 

Yes when he was on offense he was doing a lot of dirty work blocking allowing other WRs to make plays.

How is Kumerow an above average player at an important position?

Dude, Obtuse much, or is it just reading comprehension problem? 

 

   Think about this, FA hasn’t started yet, and this is the period in time when all NFL team GMs extend, renegotiate, or cut multiple players behind the scenes, it happens every single year, yet, folk still get all bent out of shape and spout off as if they have actual answers, you gotta admit, it’s pretty funny to watch it happen, it’s like clockwork. 
 

Go Bills!!!

Seriously, a 30-year old special teams player! We can't find that in the later rounds of the draft!?

I’m sure we could find similar talent in the draft but I have heard Kumerow brings some leadership qualities to the team, McDermott calls him a glue guy. That kind of intangible counts for the Bills.

So you think Kumerow is an above average wideout? Out above average special teams players?

I think we can be upset at the likely notion......due to the timing of the signing............that he got more than league minimum...........which, like with Siran Neal last week, will cut into what they can spend.

 

The reason why Beane has himself in worse cap shape than when he inherited the team..........despite a QB technically still on his rookie deal..........is a high volume of overpays.    

 

Be it the Star Lotulelei or Trent Murphy type contracts or the mountain of $6M-$3M aav deals for veteran backups and role players.  

 

They need to rely more on their scouting and draft to fill ST and backup roles and use their cap to add a difference maker or two.

 

If they aren't going to be willing to kick cap hits down the road...........as Beane has indicated they won't(we'll see)............then they need to be more frugal with the role players.

How thick are you??  Go back and re-read what I said, I never once referred to JK as above average anything, stop being “that guy” on purpose…, 

 

Go Bills!!!

Remember all the camp talk last year that Kumerow was roasting our DBs and making constant plays and would force a significant role on offense? Fun times.

 

I’m fine with re-signing a core special teams player and great locker room guy who can play offensive snaps in a pinch, but I’ve given up thinking he’ll ever be more than that.

[BarleyNY]

Lotta people getting worked up without seeing contract specifics.  Probably a very modest contract with little or no guaranteed money.

We freed up cap space to resign a special teamer!? We love retreads! How about we take that and apply it to signing a decent O-lineman? Geez!

Free agency hasn’t even started yet. You do understand we could still try and do that right?

Sure. Just make no mention whatsoever of the cap being lowered by $20M due to COVID. That has nothing to do with it 🙄

I don't mind the Kumerow signing, but I would agree that with Neal/Kumerow, it's a legit argument to wonder why Matakevich/Jones are still on the roster.
