BearNorth Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 2021 Special Teams Snaps [434 total per PFF] Matakevich 347 Gilliam 315 T. Jones 306 Neal 287 Dodson 277 J. Johnson 271 Kumerow 264 Andre Smith [Susp] 260 Epenesa 144 Poyer 131 Hamlin 125 Jackson 107 A.J. Klein 161[Released] ?Will they still risk Poyer on teams going into the season nicked up? Only core teams player not returning to date is Klein, [Smith Susp] Teams are 16% of the total plays, Offense, Defense, ST's. 48 game day actives - suggests you can have 7-8 core special teamers who in most cases would backup other positions. Food for thought. 1 1 Quote

I know Blackshear is having a good camp and a great game yesterday. Going on previous decisions they most likely won’t keep that many RBs. I love what I see on Blackshear it’s just too likely he gets to the PS and scooped up by another team. They’ll place Barkley on the PS as I don’t see anyone taking him. Mybe if they didn’t keep Neal, but they need him as insurance with Tre. you did a nice job my Italian friend. I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately really deep teams in depth like us and the Ravens are going to cut some NFL caliber players. Weak teams like the Giants, Texans, Jags, and yeah the Jets will scoop up a lot of these guys. Neal re-signed with the Bills on a 3-year contract this off season. He is not going anywhere. Quote

Agree with this. My question is, would they swap a 3rd TE for say Kumerow for his ST's. Keeping really only 2 TE's like last year Knox and Howard with Gilliam and Doyle as options for blocking and emergency? Going to be some tough cuts this year.🤔 1 Quote
Seoulofstone Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 I have faith in McB to make the right decisions for what THEY want. It’s great that so many fringe players have shown flashes though. As much as it would be sad to see promising players leave, I would also be happy for them to further their chances of making it somewhere in the NFL. Was Blackshear mentioned anywhere going into the draft? Did anyone expect Hodgins to have a great preseason? I’ve always felt that Cam Lewis has done a great job filling in at nickel but if he can get a starting gig at NYG you have to be happy for the financial security that would bring him. Joe Marino listed the players lost by Bills after cutdown and it’s really not as bad as people make out. Most of these guys will be kept. Quote

Seoulofstone Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 One of the things I love about the way McD runs camp is that players have a sense of urgency. They do their best and understand that this is a shop window for themselves. Of course their first priority is to make the Bills roster but just making a 53 is life changing wherever that is. Contrast that with this (last few pages) of this thread regarding the depth and intensity of LAC players: https://www.thepowderblues.com/forum/forum/los-angeles-chargers-forum-nfl-forum-padres-forum/the-los-angeles-chargers-forum/1369205-cowboys-chargers-preseason-game-day-thread-ps-2/page45 Quote

Don't remember any time from last year...🤔 Quote

But I honestly had no idea that at least here most posters opine that Keenum is QB2 with (as according to the emoji response) disagreeing with your post. So Barkley is a goner to the practice squad?. . Keenum upgrade from Barkley is consensus opinion. Edited August 21, 2022 by muppy Quote

He’s ok but nothing special IMO. And last year I was kind of just done with him. He’s looked pretty good but at best he’s going to be the 3rd guy here. I certainly don’t feel like Moss is considerably better then Blackshear. I’d rather go with the younger, cheaper faster guy. my question is why. That would mean that players would conversely get to skate based on past laurels and I dont buy that either. If he states he is now healthy and was bothered by a nagging injury last season to me its not logical to judge him based on those circumstances and not by what you see now this season. Anyway may the better RB win the roster spot. m Quote

What has he shown? Why is he necessary? He’s there because of Allen and my guess he will still be until his eligibility runs out. That said, I think your list is pretty spot on.
