Broncos at Bills Preseason Game Day thread.

That's it....I don't want to cut anyone. Time to petition the NFL to up the roster limit to 70.

 

Seriously, though..... This cut down to 53 is going to hurt.

YOU'RE THE DUKE!!!!  This guy will not go quietly....

He might force duke out if he keeps playing like this

Duke isn’t likely to make the team anyway.  Not that he is bad, but he is behind Singletary, Moss, Cook and they’ll keep Gilliam and Taiwan Jones.

I'm giddy 

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

Can we kneel 3 times and punt

I don’t think we have a fifth string.

You can probably visit a lot of them in Jersey.

These guys are trying to make the team... you can't do that.

He had 5 tackles last year. Do you really think he is so special and that some other guy can't make 5 ST tackles in 17 games?

 

There is the other popular misunderstanding of ST contributions.  Only one guy will make the tackle...its NOT about how many tackles you get, its about how well you play your role to force the returner into a tackle and contain the return.  Literally closing off the lanes is substantially more important than who gets the credit for the tackle.  A tackle can happen anywhere on the field...on a 5 yard return or a 50 yard return.  What matters most is not allowing the runner the space to make the return and force him into the coverage for as short of a gain as possible.

Blackshear is a really good RB prospect 

Really hope no one scoops him from the practice squad. Looks like a perfect, cheap replacement for Singletary next year

[Freddie's Dead]

FINALLY, A COVERED KR!!!!

Hey, it's kids day, let one of them play.

Have the bills ever score 42 points in a preseason game?

What are they supposed to do?  They are just running the ball at this point. It's not like they are out there running all kinds of silliness.

Except he isn't good at any of them.  I'd rather Doyle be your third TE, I see no reason to ever have a FB and if needed you line up Sweeney or Moss at FB, and he never will line up at RB.  A capable WR is going to be cut to keep Gilliam on the team.  

Not sure how you can say he "isnt good at any of them" meanwhile we just extended him. Luckily we havent had to use him a bunch except for goal line scenarios and his blocking has been decent. The thing I think you are missing is having Gilliam suit up allows you to add the additional linemen like Doyle last year to lineup as "extra tight end." But having Gilliam allows you to run a goal line FB, and not need to suit up 3-4 RB's because he can fill in if absolutely needed... unless you think Doyle can be RB3 due to injury. Having a versatile piece like Gilliam is why we could get away with only dressing 1 TE last year. Having him fill 3+ positions allow you the flexibility of sitting or dressing up extra positions as needed for the matchups.

 

Again our team also values special teams and he ALSO fills that role which other guys like Doyle or Duke Johnson wont fill

It's a deep squad this year.

All positions are deep, other teams are gonna get rich off the Bills roster cuts. 

Yuuuup.  Just hoping the Warlock can pull a couple draft picks out of the hat instead of just outright losing them

[Ralonzo]

I think the refs have just given up. That was a horsecollar tackle by the Bronco on the first Bills tackler on the kickoff.

I'm sure they have in the past during the drought that got our hopes up. 

[Gunsgoodtime]

Anyone else besides me want to see the Bills to stall out inside their own 20 to punt? Lol
