At the end of the day that’s impressive as hell, especially for a UDFA. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RousseauRage Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 18 minutes ago, KingBoots8 said: But it’s a good story about a local kid earning every snap of his career. UDFA kid got a shot and took advantage of his opportunity. Even if his career is short lived, he can say he made it. It’s worth rooting for. All the players earn their spots. What a weird thing to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but some players have the benefit of their draft stock giving them an added edge at roster cutdowns. If you invested a pick, you may be more likely to keep that player vs a guy who signed off the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 As I stated in various other threads, if he was going to make the team imo they had to keep 6 and they did. Congrats to the local kid, hope he becomes a STs demon and develops at LB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Good story. Hopefully he only sees the field during 4th quarter blowouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Sorry to be a wet blanket but I'll be surprised if he makes it to Labor Day on the active roster. There has to be a better LB available after cutdowns that can fill out the bottom of our room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Even less than a UDFA. He was a tryout player first. Good for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnus00 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 49 minutes ago, Logic said: Great story, no doubt. He is more raw and requires more refinement and seasoning than he showed in the Pittsburgh game. I agree with the notion that he likely wouldn't have made it to the practice squad, so the Bills' hand was somewhat forced. I will say this: It's best not to get too attached to bottom-of-roster guys who miraculously make the 53 until a week or so has passed. The possibility of a cut from another team being signed by the Bills and forcing a fringe player or two off the roster exists and is not all that remote. We can't get our hopes up. It is a great story. And the young man may be in a great spot. Babich seems to excel at developing LBs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to the local kid, hope he becomes a STs demon and develops at LB This is the best hope. When you look at Bernard he needed a year of seasoning to become what nobody saw coming. Andreesson might never mature into a great player or maybe with time he improves. Either way a great story, but it’s certainly off to a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the injury bug is done at linebacker, but our luck these past few years doesn’t point to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
