OK, let me put it to you this way.

We cut Hodgins, then due to Kumerow on IR wound up playing 2 games with Tanner Gentry.

 

Do you think Tanner Gentry is a better WR than Hodgins, Y or N?

If we had Gentry on our active roster and cut him, do you think any team files a waiver claim, Y or N?

 

I’m not saying Hodgins is a star WR, but in the context of the talent we have on our roster we were 1 injury away from an alternative of bringing in a guy off the street who hasn’t played since 2020 or signing Tanner Gentry to the active roster.

 

In hindsight, I kind of feel keeping Hodgins on the roster would possibly have been a better move, But, we’ll see.

 

It doesn't work that way. Hodgins was never going to stick on our active roster and we can't stop a team from signing him off our practice squad. Who do we cut to keep Hodgins on the active roster?

In other words, Dawson Knox production…

 

Ha.  Well, no.  But I was responding to someone who said he was claimed before he could be called up here.

 

My point wasn’t that Hodgins was a good WR, it’s that because he was cut and claimed off waivers, we wound up pounding the streets

They might make the playoffs 

 

Used to Detroit just imploding and playing like crap.

 

Not that they did not have talent at positions, but they never seemed to have a team on the same page with a solid game plan.

 

They have a better HC who has cleaned up a lot of the self-inflicted nonsense, got them on the same page, and they play hard for him.

 

Good for them.

I'm talking about one or two seconds left. I remember them taking a knee often instead of a hail mary attempt.

 

You're complaining because the Eagles did this and came 16 yards short of the endzone? Statistically a turnover or an injury is more likely to happen in that situation.

I was thinking Baylon Spector but that’s just me - do you think he would have been swiped onto another roster?

I guess also I’d have to look at where we were with injuries when Hodgins was cut to see if that would make sense.

 

Again, it’s not that I think Hodgins is a total gem, it’s just that once a team has 2 receivers injured (one on IR) it may be time to conserve receivers.

Quinnen Williams is a legit beast

He's played 60% of our special teams snaps and was a draft pick from this year. Zero chance we were risking him on waivers.

 

I believe Hodgins was waived when Kumerow was back healthy, by the time he got injured again Hodgins was already gone. I'm sure the Bills would like to have him as a call-up option but if we're down to Isaiah Hodgins taking offensive snaps on this roster things have gotten really out of hand. I'm not even remotely worried about it.
