Safe bet is there being a punter though anything else is unknowable chaos, so you might as well just slot a name in that spot.

 

Agree.

 

I think they wait until after Tuesday to see cuts from other teams. I've read there is a close battle of two really good guys in Tennessee, and there might be a few other situations like that around the league.

 

No need to rush on this one, a week is enough to get an experienced vet up to speed.

 

No, not ideal, but it can work. The biggest challenge is the nuances of holding for field goals.

How do Sweeney and Hart make this team? 

We have a worrying drop off of quality at Tight End after Knox

Can you name a better backup TE in NFL?  Coach’s love Sweeney- that’s how me makes it.  OJ hasn’t done squat

I would cut them both. They stink. I suspect that they’ll keep Hart because of his “versatility.” He can struggle at multiple positions on the OL.

He’s god awful. Another locker room guy? 

Let that Brandon Beane quote sink in.

 

Tommy Sweeney has been playing 50% of special team snaps.  And Quintin Morris is #2 with special team snaps.  OJ was playing in the 4th quarter of Carolina game.

Sweeney has value because ST.  And Beane prioritizes ST

If not for draft position, what has Terrell Bernard shown.  

I am disappointed at this point.  His college coach called plays to exploit him. 

Slow and small?

Maybe he will suddenly snap into it, but I couldn’t understand that pick from day one, size of a safety, speed of a slow LB, looks like a wasted 3rd round pick, but time will tell.

Here's the 53 man roster from Sal Capaccio for your cutting pleasure

Note that if Tre White goes on PUP, we only need to cut to 55, ie 25 guys

 

 

QB-Barkley

RB

WR-Stevenson

Gentry

Pau'u

TE

Howard

OL Mancz(IR)

Boetetger(PUP)

Capra

Tenuta

Van Roten

Anderson

Owen

DE Love

Jonathon

Joseph

DL Bryant

Ankou

Emili

Brewer

Smith(sus)

Giles-Harris

Spector

CB Lewis

Ingram

Miller

Thomas

 

so down to 55- I need to cut 2 out Blackshear, Hodgins, McCloud. 

I cut McCloud.

  And now last spot is between Blackshear and Hodgins.  ST is deciding factor

On cut day, I would look to upgrade Bobby Hart- but there is such a shortage of OL, I highly doubt that is possible.

Going forward, next draft I prioritize OL.  Lets get Josh the best OL in NFL!

I don’t want to rush to judgement, but I saw him on one play against the Colts matched up on a TE and he looked slow. Nothing to be concerned about yet, but something I will be watching. 

[CNYfan]

At TE I like Knox, Morris and Gilliam.   

If Sweeney is a special teams darling, then I would be overruled.

I like Morris more than Sweeney due to his versatility. For as much as the coaches love Sweeney, they sat him last year after his terrible drop in the Carolina game (I believe). Sweeney is a dime a dozen guy, we have enough leaders and good guys in the locker room.

And he’s not even related to Jack Nicholson.

No we don’t, it Hasn’t been an issue over the last couple seasons, if you want to worry about something, try  Kromer and the starting O-line blocking skills, it is certainly something that will have an order of magnitude larger effect on the seasons outcome, being we are up to our ears in pass catchers, the #2 TE position is much farther down the list of actual things that will hold the team back…, hell, at this point a Punter is a higher priority…, but Scottlaw et all; love to get there faux concern levels up to 10 so as to maintain their ever so enthusiastic post counts…, 😁👍

 

Go  Bills!!!

Didn’t anyone notice that OJ Howard often lined up outwide and looked fast running routes? He is a big target for the red zone. I would not cut him.

 

Knox

Howard

Morris

 

Sweeney can be traded to NYG for a 7th or be PS

Would they really CUT Howard and his $2 million guaranteed salary?

I wonder if Bernard deliberately gained some weight.

Sure doesn’t look like he’ll run anybody down.

They absolutely do… the lack depth in general offensively. 

You are incorrect, it is a minor concern at best, but you can feel free to be wrong about your quest to have starters in backup positions, your prerogative.

 

Go Bills!!!

Araiza… by 9:00a.m.

It's 11:11AM not cut yet.  Make a wish.

[BearNorth]

I see on the Bills site depth chart, that they have Rousseau and Von as starters at Edge.  I thought that they were both better at rushing from the left side across from the RT.
