Mancz may be brought back tomorrow  along with a punter singed with 2 guys put on ir

Again, unless I miss something, this doesn't make sense. You don't choose Mancz with $350K dead cap to do this. You choose Kumerow or Ferguson or Cam Lewis who have zero dead cap.

Shocked about Mancz. Wow. God our OLine depth is awful. 

 

I have to imagine what we'll be bringing in OLinemen. 

 

Edit: not that I liked our OLine depth prior to Mancz being cut.

Ah cool, maybe we start Hart at OG so we can keep Bates healthy in case he needs to snap the ball?

That sounds like ‘the old days’ that drove us nuts.

The backup outside WRs are Stevenson and Kumerow. I hope Diggs and Davis stay injury free.

Hopefully we can bring Jack Anderson back to be our #2 C.

Starting Hart to protect Bates as a backup is criminal for both parts for that sentence.

Shakir plays outside too

Mancz is a shocker to me

Agreed. I asked about this couple posts earlier. Doesn't make sense based on everything we heard during camp. Backup center, looked like lock, injury was supposed to be minor. Really curious what is going on.

They like themselves some Bobby Hart for some reason.

 

Bobby Hart was not competing against Mancz for a spot.  That would be Van Roten.   Hart's calling card is now positional flexibility as a backup.

 

Joe Buscaglia wrote about Mancz and predicted Van Roten would stay over Mancz.   I pretty much thought he was nuts.  Neither Mancz nor Van Roten played in the last preseason game.  Buscaglia said "he just couldn't stay healthy"

 

Of course we don't get injury reports during pre-season, but Mancz did leave practice on a cart Aug 23 and I thought he was perhaps still injured.  the "knock" on him the last several seasons has been talented C/G, injury-plagued.  He played 5 games for the Dolphins last season before going on IR.  2019, lost 2 games to ankle injury and had arthroscopic surgery on his ankle in the off-season, lost hist starting job and only started 4 games for the Texans in 2020 (leaving injured). 

 

It sounds as though he has a chronic ankle injury at this point, which perhaps the Bills thought could be managed enough for him to serve as a backup C.  But if he might get injured quickly and not be available in that role, that's kinda useless.

 

I would kind of like the Bills to mind the waiver wire for a better alternative than Van Roten as backup C.  Neither he nor Bates have a lot of actual NFL game experience as C.

I don't think the Bills see that as their depth chart at outside WR.

That would be better.

 

Edit: here's what Joe B said:

Quote

Mancz is the better reserve center, which initially gave him an advantage over Greg Van Roten for that final offensive line spot, but Mancz has not been able to stay healthy this summer. Van Roten did not play at all in the preseason finale despite being healthy, which is a great sign that he’s safe. If Ike Boettger progresses to the point that he’s ready to play this season, it could be a one-for-one roster spot swap with Van Roten down the line. Mancz should be on the practice squad radar.

It's not going to happen.  Bates has been written in as the starting RG.

 

If the Bills aren't happy with Van Roten as backup C (and frankly, I don't think I am) hopefully they'll shop the cutout bin.

[Freddie's Dead]

I'm bummed that they kept Muffquez instead of Hodgins.

I think they actually didn't keep either. Stevenson goes to IR which Hodgins couldn't.

 

Hodgins goes to PS again and I seriously doubt he will be poached.

If one of those guys went down Shakir or Crowder would go in. I wouldn’t get hung up on the look of the physical chart. The Bills will put their best guys on the field

Yeah, i hope he finds a home.

 

Zay Jones is a #2 now, so anything is possible.

Zay Jones was the Bills leading WR that one season. 
 

There we’re just too many people (armchair GM’s) hating on the kid.

Keeping Stevenson was a surprise

If Morse goes down Bates will move to C, Quessenberry to RG & Brown back to RT.

He's going on IR & he won't be back unless someone gets injured.
