Wizard Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 There is always a player or two that we wonder, "why is that guy on the roster?" Who is that guy for you? There are several for me, but that one guy is Tommy Sweeney. 2 1 1 1 Quote

There are several for me, but that one guy is Tommy Sweeney. Morris is new. Josh knows Sweeney and he sticks until something else happens. Beane will get the best TE for the PS that he can. Sweeney if under the gun and he knows it. If he doesn't improve, he won't be a Bill next year. 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Yeah it's Sweeney. I know OJ Howard had a disappointing offseason but he is a better TE than Sweeney by default. I don't understand eating the dead cap hit only to keep a lesser player on the team. Hopefully he is only on the team for right now until they need his roster spot for a different position. 7 6 2 Quote

UKBillFan Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Thought we’d keep Howard over Sweeney, and Mancz over one of the CBs - Lewis or McCloud. 1 3 Quote
The Jokeman Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Greg Van Roten. I'm thinking Mancz is injured as no way Van Roten is better. 3 4 Quote

So many good athletes pass through that don't make it. Couldn't a backup CB, S, LB or (viable) RB be molded into a gunner over the course of a training camp or a season on the Practice Squad? Or is it just that specialized a skill and Jones just that much better at it? Given that I trust our coaching staff and front office, I'd have to say yes. 2 1 1 2 1 Quote
Airseven Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 More so generally baffled that the OL is still mediocre with little depth, TEs the same, and CB is a wild roll of the dice amongst rookies. 2 Quote

Providing this is legitimate, he does realise he’s not been cut and will have to share a locker room with some of the players he’s indirectly calling out (not that I disagree)? 3 Quote

And hasn't the team stuck by him, despite a somewhat checkered past? I'm surprised that he'd post a comment like this on social media (if that's what this is). Why bite the hand that feeds you? As suggested above, perhaps this is not legitimate, although who would spoof the social media of a relatively unknown backup linebacker? Edited August 30, 2022 by msw2112 1 1 Quote
gobills404 Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Stevenson over Hodgins and Can Roten over Mancz make no sense to me. I’m no Sweeney fan, but I also don’t get all the hate he’s been getting. I think people just wanted to believe that OJ Howard would be good and don’t want to admit he sucked. 3 minutes ago, balln said: Bobby hart. He’s awful He legitimately played really well in the preseason. 4 1 2 Quote
BruceVilanch Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I thought hodgins would make the 53, I'm surprised we kept Stevenson. 6 5 Quote
947 Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Sweeney for me too. He's a practice squad caliber player. If they insist on keeping him, put him on the PS & there's 0% chance anybody signs him. 1 Quote
