Bills sign a CB, release a CB (now the title is grammatically correct)

[GunnerBill]

I remember that the Bills were rumoured to really like him in that draft. We took old leaden feet himself just ahead of him in round 3. The Vikes are going to more of a man coverage scheme under Flo, and Dantzler is definitely not a fit for that. He is a pure zone coverage guy. 

[NewEra]

Great guy to bring in an take a look at.  Loved him in college. Strictly zone CB imo. I doubt he makes the team but could be a nice guy for the PS.  See if McD can develop him.

If he was complaining about playing time in Minnesota, I don't think it'll be much better for him here

Or, they don't want a repeat of last season when they had grocery store clerks manning the secondary...

I aim to please.

 

You aim too, please.

Yeah. I don't know if that's what this is. They upgraded CB7 by swapping McMichael for Dantzler - now he's competing for a chance at the 53 man roster. 

 

Camreon Dantzler is competing with Siran Neal, Cam Lewis, Alex Austin and Ja'Marcus Ingram. He's not competing with Kaiir Elam. 

 

STARTERS

 

Tre White

Kaiir Elam

Taron Johnson

 

BACKUPS

 

Christian Benford

Dane Jackson

He very well could be completion for Lewis/Neal, especially considering how the league is emphasizing ST this season.  
 

White, Elam, Johnson, and Jackson are 100% safe.  I can see the Bills moving Benford to S if Danzler beats out Lewis.  Of course, there’s a chance both Lewis and Danzler don’t make the roster

Hey now, I'll have you know that one of the clerks at my local Wegmans is about 6'2" 155 pounds. He says he runs a 5.90 40...which doesn't sound fast but he really rings up groceries quick. Fast process skills. Maybe a place on special teams for him....

I’m not sure what Elam does wrong in practice but his games show me he should be starting and looks the part.

 

I don’t know what the Bills are doing with him.

Not sure what would make one see this and automatically assume it as them not being satisfied with or replacing Elam? I see it as more of a depth competition signing to compete with maybe Cam Lewis or Dane Jackson etc

He was complaining because he was an all rookie selection and didn't get to start Week 1 in his second season. He was added/cut by Washington earlier in the offseason, so not sure if we doing due diligence or Ron Rivera gave McDermott a bone to chew on.

Tiny Dantzler. Great song

Didn't he play football with Le'Veon 'Levon' Bell? 🤔

It’s been the talk of media heads attending OTA. Elam has a battle on his hand for CB2.

Please let him be competition for Lewis, that guy is lost even when he is doing his assignment. There has rarely been a player that I notice over and over again at being horrible. It jumps off the screen at how bad at football he is.

[Big Turk]

I like this move...Bills just stacking depth

I haven't come across any of those reports. Not saying you're wrong or anything, just something I have yet to see. 

 

Anyways, even if it was mentioned it's hard to put much stock into media speculation just from a few days in starting OTA's in May

It’s been mentioned by every reporter there.

I disagree. However, this is a great depth pick up. Beane is determined not to let injuries derail us this season.

Agree. Unless he's doing quiet things away from the ball that keeps the QB from throwing his direction. Every time he appears onscreen, he's blowing the coverage. Just good enough to make it close, but I don't recall any wins from him. And yet, they keep bringing him back.

Exactly.

I'm not saying it wasn't, I just haven't seen it....or may have missed it.

 

Still as I mentioned, imo no way to tell much of anything this early at the start of OTA's
