Week 5: Steelers at Bills 10/9 1pm

[Blank Stare]

So no Edmunds then with the Harris elevation? Or maybe truly a game time decision.

Kinda crazy...Bills cut two players who made key plays in the Baltimore game...

 

First Prince Emili early in the week who had the tip leading to Poyer's first INT 

 

Now they cut Bryant who basically prevented a Baltimore TD on 2nd and goal by taking on 3 blockers allowing Milano to make the tackle for a 3 yard loss...

 

Must have really been a numbers crunch.

Yeah likely he is out

All the moves make sense.  Joe Gilles-Harris is a good ST player.

Thanks for your contributions to the team Brandin Bryant.  I hope you are back full-time next year taking over for Phillips.

He is going to the PS if nobody claims him but I would bet someone does.

So Hodgins is clearly Crowder's replacement on the 53 man roster.

 

The Bills have elevated PS members but not had them active on game day before, but the thinking is usually that they won't make elevations unless they intend to have them active. 

 

So elevating a WR and a LB could mean that McKenzie and Edmunds are ruled out, but it could also mean they are both game-day or game-time decisions.

I think the "crunch" is that Oliver and Phillips are ready so the Bills are no longer carrying 2 DTs who can't play on the 53 man roster.

 

But, they are currently carrying 2 DBs who can't play on the 53 man roster with Benford and Poyer, so even with signing Ingram I'm not sure they have the 8 healthy DBs they prefer for the gameday roster - EDIT: yeah, I counted, we only have 7 healthy DBs.  Yikes.  I hope McKenzie can go because they might need him as an "emergency DB".

True enough...maybe they are unsure with McKenzie and elevated someone just in case. They could have only elevated one WR and not have an inactive WR like they did with Shakir earlier in the year when they had numbers.

 

I'm excited to see Shakir...I think this kid could be really really good. He has deep speed too at 4.42

Does anyone remember if Hodgins and Gentry played much ST in the preseason?

 

I seem to remember Hodgins getting some plays there in preseason and it not being pretty.

I don't remember Gentry playing ST at all

 

I wonder if we'll see more base D tomorrow, except, the Steelers don't seem to have much of a run game.

I'm thinking he may not make it through waivers this time.  He's getting some good film on record.

To be sure I hope he clears and goes back to the PS!

They usually have 5 WRs active on game day.  Hodgins is the 5th, replacing Crowder.  Gentry up from PS could be just in case McKenzie can't go.

I think the Bills may value Zimmer > Bryant on the PS

Giles-Harris is a ST player so he may be taking Kumerow's spot in that

Maybe, but Bryant > Ankou.

and of course my personal fav (this play look familiar to anyone?)

 

 

[ColoradoBills]

After the dust settles with all these moves and filling up the PS, Beane will be down to $1M or a little less in cap.

If guys don't start coming off IR soon, he may need a restructure just to get by on cash.

someone reviewing that play said something about "he may not have played well all game but he made a great play there" - IDK

I haven't been watching as much all-22 as in the past.

I agree with you though

That, too

[Big C]

Hope we can sneak Bryant back to the PS but he has been making plays.

I feel he is a good investment. Let me know if you start a Go Fund Me.
