Great point. Might be a move with more foresight. Maybe Spencer isn’t playing this week in their minds?

 

Not really. Bills usually carry 9 OL on the active roster, and before this move they only had 8. Brown is fine.

Smoot is the one that just came off IR?  I confuse smoot and toohill. I know one of the 2 are playing well

 

Smoot is playing well. Toohill is pretty average. Maybe they want to get Solomon a few more snaps...

When we get to the off season, I am all for re-signing Smoot.

 

? Smoot is currently on the roster?

His one year deal expires this offseason

I am the same way. In fact, I think the bills twitter may have shown a photo of smoot when referencing toohill’s release!  They are confused too!

...and immediately ends up on IR.

 

The bartender again says "Whattya boys havin'?"

 

Confused, Denney, Kelsey and Toohill hold up their lunch pails. Nodding, the bartender says "Ah, sorry mates. Couldn't hear you before over the engine noise from the high motors."

Glad Grable is back healthy. Interested to see if he reclaims the swing role or if RVD did enough in the game he started, at his weaker spot on the right side, to jump him. 

 

I thought Toohill was lucky to make the 53. No shock to see him go.

But I believe we signed him to a one year deal.

 

So, when the off season arrives he will not be a Bill anymore. That's why I would like to re-sign him.

Suddenly Mark Pike and Shawn Price bust through the wall wondering why they weren't invited to the party...

[harmonkillebrew]

Jordan Phillips and Quinton Jefferson over Toohill... I guess.  Beefing up for the winter.

It's been a long time since I've felt this optimistic about our OL.  Both starters and depth.

Me, too. You have to go back to 1990, with Will Wolford, House Ballard, Kent Hull, John Davis, and Jim Richter. Frerotte and Glenn Parker the backups.

Activated OL Tylan Grable from Injured Reserve.
Released DE Casey Toohill.

Signed WR Jalen Virgil to the practice squad.

Signed OL Will Clapp to the practice squad.

Released DE Kameron Cline from the practice squad.

Released DT Branson Deen from the practice squad.

 

Say it isn't so.  We dump Toohill just to get back the Clapp.

Toohill made some plays a few games ago. I'd rather have him than Jefferson, who was sluggish against Detroit.

I think he was this year's Justin Zimmer.  Relatively fast and athletic for a DE - saw him catch guys downfield a couple of times.

 

Pretty sure Bills want to put him on the PS if they can.

He doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher but sets the edge very well and is a high motor player.  Would be a good addition to the PS

That's pretty cold to Mark Pike, second only to Tasker as the lynchpin of the Bills 90s STs.  Never forget the crunching block so Christie could recover the onside kick and ignite The Comeback.

Happy trails to the wolf in sheep clothing.   I will always have nightmares about being caught dead wearing that sweater.
