Bring back Reggie Corner. The man was built to be a DB.

 Not just a dB but a corner

So we went through camp with 4 6'4" wide receivers - Shorter (IR), Shavers (PS), Dezmon Patmon (signed to PS at the end of the season), and Marcell Ateman.

Now there is one (Shavers)

 

Though we do have Shorter on IR.

Why was Ateman waived if Ankou got poached?

Herb Miller sounds like a Mattress Firm salesman from Raleigh, NC.

 

Or a chair manufacturer.  Herb Miller Beanbag chairs >>>>> Herman Miller Aeron chairs. 

[SoCal Deek]

Any relation to Herb Atterly? 😉

Who else you putting on main roster when White goes on IR. Im sure this guy will fill Ingrams role in practice. Ingram will be added to 53 but be inactive like Elam was. And Elam, Jackson, and Benford will be our outside CBs

 

They will have to add Von back soon.  I mean they might add him to the roster now but I see no reason to when they can use callups on him.  Why spend extra cap space just to leave a guy inactive?

At this point Beane must be like “the message boards are going to mock this” but oh well

 

He is thinking "I am so glad they dumped the real crazies when we closed the Buffalo Bills forum."

At a guess, and it's only a guess, the Bills decided to sign Miller to the PS before Ankou's agent communicated with them that Ankou would join Atlanta's 53 man roster

So they may have made an unnecessary move in releasing Ateman

 

It's possible that they'll want to fill Ankou's spot with a DT though.

 

Minor nit, I don't think 'waived' is the right term for a practice spot cut, since all practice squad players are free agents and not subject to waiver claims

Is there a single player on the active roster that has a "Carolina connection?" Couldn't think of any off the top of my head.

Small college background (Florida Atlantic).  A UDFA in 2019 didn't make the team that signed him (KC).  He's bounced around a bit since then, most recently with Cleveland.  He's played in a handful of regular season games over the last three seasons.  He has nice size (6'1" or 6'2" depending on the source of  the data and right around 200 lbs.  I couldn't find any other measurables like 40 time.

Well... he was named to be a cornerback...

We have a 'Herb Nightly' here, who seems fairly lucid...usually.  Are you an anti-Herbite?

 

Even decades after decriminalization and there's still those people...

We got two Millers now, need a few more to get to the Williams threshold....

 

"Peaches &" is the nickname....

Elam better not share any pointers. This is war.

Herb Adderley was pretty good.

Herb Miller sounds like my cranky neighbor, not an NFL defensive back

Look at all the guys from Buffalo Schein/Dabol brought in.

 

The first year or two, it makes sense. And I think it's a major part of what is hampering Payton with having been out of the league for a couple years.

 

New coaches bringing in players that are already familiar with the new coach and can set the tone in the new locker room of "Hey, give this guy a shot, I worked with him in the past and he knows his stuff" is invaluable when trying to change culture.

 

But at THIS POINT, with McD being one of the longest tenured active coaches, and the Bills already established culture and winning, the pipeline from Carolina is just a joke. Crazy we seemingly cant/wont elsewhere.

He should be Herbert, sounds a little tougher than Herb.

I’d go with Kush Miller

I dated a girl named Mabel in college.  I don't kiss and tell...

Could he be Von Miller's love child?
