OK so Brazill DNP yesterday and is now in a boot.  Are all the naysayers still so sure about not giving Branch a chance?  Or if not Branch then they better bring Whalen back up.  Still another day of practice so I guess we will see if he can go tomorrow.

Brazill AND Pep have both downplayed the boot as a precaution for Brazill. Obviously practicing tomorrow would be reassuring but if they are both saying that it isnt as serious as it looks then I can take that at face value.... 

Unless we definitely lose another WR to injury I am definitely against bringing in another player at this point in the season.... It's just too desperate a move at this point. No time for them to learn the playbook or develop chemistry with the QB. It would make far more sense to bring someone up from the practice squad now.

Especially as the person who was worked out hasnt played a down since 2012.....

Probably won't happen.

Are you ready for it?  Here comes everybody's favorite Darius Heyward-Bey.

I would really like to see Bey have a huge game...but we need to give him a mild dose of Valium to take away the jitters...and a set of corrective contacts to see the ball better....and a couple of pounds of stickum on his gloves.

DHB and his dad just need a wheelbarrow full of toilet paper rolls and just toss 'em back and forth one night.

I guess he's only 97% at the moment, the guy isnt doing himself any favors. I don't see Grigs keeping someone who's out half the season, because half of his missed time is due to not being 100%. I can see an organization doing this for a franchise kind of player but not a #2 CB.

 

Maybe he'll play lights out when he comes back like Bob Sanders did for the playoff run......

I really dont know why Whalen is not getting more of a look

he is not blazing fast but he catches pretty much what is thrown his way

Rogers needs to get a chance to start with Hilton

We only need to use DHB on reverses

whalen catches everything. Other than all those passes he drops

If I was Toler I would be getting back fairly quickly. Missing 6-7 weeks for a pulled groin has made him expendable. especially since cutting him would save us 4.2 million on the cap. So we can sign a guy like Verner who plays a whole season.

Unless Toler comes back and plays like Revis, I think his days are numbered. There's a reason his contract was structured like that.

I agree, unless Toler comes back and plays lights out he is probably gone ... it only costs us $670,000 to cut him after this season.  That's the good thing about most of the contracts Grigson gave out; we can get out of most of them for next to nothing.

no need to play him. Why do we want him to have a setback

 

 

no i understand that. but do you realize how many players rarely get to play at 100%? most players are good to go at like 80%, but yeah i mean we clinched really no reason to rush him. just sayin in general.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
