Does LB Baylon Spector make the Bills final 53?

[Big Turk]

Probably not but I don't think he will make it to the PS...someone is gonna poach him at cutdown day.

Played really well today, imo. All around the ball. How about Hodgins as the last WR?  Thinking Crowder may be toast.

One game let’s see the rest of preseason

Feels like other teams will be circling the waters of the Bills cuts. Then again I've felt that way before and been surprised.

 

Remember when we would look forward to the final cut? Some teams would cut guys better than our starters! We’d be trying to fill several starting positions with scraps from………..GOOD teams. 

 

These are good times, my friends!!!

Does Bernard make the 53?  Spector seemed more impactful.

We are an embarrassment of riches this year I think folks need to come to the realization that we’re going to lose players off of our special teams that can play

[BigAl2526]

I feel as if Tyler Matekevich is in the roster spot that would be occupied by Specter.  Matekevich is on the Bills by virtue of his prowess as a special teams player, although he hasn't embarrassed himself when he's subbed for Edmunds.  He just doesn't have the athleticism to be more than an occasional sub.  Specter was on special teams tonight and made some plays.  McDermott tends to trust his veterans all other things being equal, but Specter. being a 7th round draft pick has a really cheap contract, while Matekevich's contract is pricey for what he is.   If Specter continues to play well, both on defense and special teams, the difference in contracts between the two players could make Beane and McDermott think long and hard about cutting Matekevich in favor of Specter.

When Coach McD and Beane asked ST Coach what free agent he needed to help special teams he said Tyler Matekevich so they went and signed him/  That special teams coordnator is no longer with team so it may be a factor in him being cut BUT they had opprotunity to cut him when they were cutting other vets.

For sure, but two previous good camps and Hodgins is not a smurf.

He is older (more mature) player who was a big college player for Clemson.

 

For those who do not know Bills special teams player Andre Smith has been suspended for the first six games of the season.Smith was suspended six games for violating the league’s policy against performance-enhancing substances.

 

He reminds me of A.J.Klein but a bit smaller.

 

 

You are named after the dog in "Back to the Future", right?

He's more like Pavlov's dog. Easily manipulated.

Consistent camp performer from the sounds of it. I imagine he's a lock. 

 

Tenuta and Spector seem like bubble guys from the draft class.

[CSBill]

No. PS if anything.

He can sure run stuff.

 

Coverage however, needs help.

Spector has to prove there's no drop off first.

Can the 7th rounder beat out Matakevich? Does the preseason give him time to take his roster spot? Tune in preseason week 2 to find out.

[davefan66]

I feel LB is one of the positions draft status doesn’t count as much.  A 7th rounder can certainly make the team if he plays well enough.

 

I’d love this kid to take a bigger step next week and make it a very difficult decision for the coaches.

The new AJ Klein ?

I think every team feels like this post cuts.  I thought for sure Cam Lewis would be snagged by someone last year.

What are the similarities? Size isn’t, speed isn’t. What could the similarities be?
