Will Curtis Samuel be "Scout team Lamar" this week??

[Special K]

When the Bills played the Ravens earlier in the year, Samuel was injured and was certainly unable to fill this role then, however, now that he seems to be fully healthy could this be the best way for him to contribute to this week's game?? How much would having someone fast enough to simulate the speed and shiftiness of Lamar help the Defense prepare?? 

 

I believe McKenzie was scout team Lamar a few years ago when the Bills beat the Ravens in the playoffs, so there might be some credence to this strategy.

 

Thoughts??

I think it’s funny that “the best way for him to contribute for this weeks game” is to be on the scout team when he led the team in yards last week

I didn't mean it like that, in fact I meant the opposite.

 

He did make a great play last week, and seems to be rounding into shape, so would the risk of pulling him away from the Offense be outweighed by the benefit of him being able to help prepare the D for Lamar?

 

That was at the root of the question I am asking.

I do not think the finally healthy most explosive wr on the team will be spending time as scout.. that would be KJ Hamler.

Didn't think of Hamler.....he'd be a pretty good option.👍

BTW, Curtis Samuel was hampered even starting in preseason by toe, chest, and foot injuries.

 

He's probably the healthiest he's been all season.

I think the Bills have a number of fast guys on their actual scout team who can help the defense prepare.

 

For example, KJ Hamler was reported to run a 4.27 sec 40-time during a pre-draft workout.  Jalen Virgil ran a 4.4

 

Samuel needs to focus on offense - we aren't going to beat Baltimore by shutting their defense down.

This is certainly the best time to be fully healthy.....it was great to see him make a big play last week.

 

This has got to be the healthiest overall the Bills have been going into the playoffs....lets hope it makes a difference over these next few weeks!!

I had no idea Curtis Samuel’s first name was Will… that’s crazy

Ha...that was my thought as well.👍

[Prospector]

We didn’t have Bernard, Milano, or Taron last time… I think this is a totally different game

[Kelly to Allen]

KJ Hamler would be is my guess. 

 

Samuel is a main rotation wr and might be RB3 this week too. 

[MJS]

A practice squad player is more likely. But you're right. They did use McKenzie in that role before, and he was a rostered player.

And Shakir and Rapp left injured. Shakir came back later, but was hobbled.
