What happened to K. Everett?

[NC-BILLS44]

On the Bills' website Everett is listed as 3rd string. He must have done something to get in the doghouse. Cieslak was elevated from the practice squad, when Neufeld was injured, to the 2nd string.

Does anyone have a rich friend or insider that could shed some light on the situation? I had high hopes for Everett, coming out of the U.

[Mitchy moo]

I do, everett is still in recovery mode and is not ready for full action. Cieslak is ready, willing and able. He will do everything it takes to get in the game, everything. He plays his heart out every play and many times during a game, it's that guys who takes it over.

20 yards of penalties and 0 catches against Houston will do that. The guy just has never contributed at all.

[ricogarion]

Recovery? From what ? He played in first three games had a catch or two committed some penalties and was not heard from again.

We are going into a 3 TE set. Royals blocks, Cieslak to catch and Everrett getting their waters ready in the sidelines.

Seriously though, I'm not ready to count Everrett out. When you think about it, Cieslak has been on the field longer since Everrett wasn't even on the practice field last year due to a blown knee.

[Scumbag College]

I think you have to give Everett one more year. He was drafted by TD in the 3rd round on pure speculation and potential due to his athletic ability, not because of what he did at the U.

Draft a game breaking TE and we are on our way to the superbowl!

I am not sure Everrett can get water ready - he is from the U and they are not known for teamwork. He might spike the water.

Actually, with the way the offense has improved now...what we really need is some DTs that could get the job done and stop the run! If we had our old tandem of PW and Sam Adams up there when they were peaking, I'd say we'd definitely be playoff bound!!!

[The_Philster]

simply put, Cieslak has shown production...Everett hasn't

??? How did Cieslak show production on the practice squad? Something had to happen for Everett to lose his 2nd string job to a practice squad player. Maybe it was the penalties. I was just wondering if anyone heard anything about a game or practice incident that would have prompted the change.
Maybe Cieslak was working is butt off and Everett was just cruising along.

[BillsNick]

I talked to my rich friend, and he told me the inside information as to why KE is 3rd string. He sucks.

Well that was your first mistake.

Second, he scored a 6 on his Wonderlick which makes him one of the stupidest players coming out of the draft. Sorry, but all the athletic ability in the world won't help you overcome memorizing the playbook.

Miami TEs are generally strong producers in the NFL...so I hardly think it was really a mistake...and as far as the Wonderlic, our starting LT didn't score all that highly either

[ParanoidAndroid]

Jerramy Stevens needs to start over somewhere. Might as well be here. I'll take Eric Johnson, too.

Everett scored a 12 and Parrish scored a 10.

I'll take "he's not fully recovered and way behind" for $100, Alex. No need to cut him until late in pre-season next year.

Sorry, but I knew it was bad.

[Goobylal]

It was; but Parrish' was worse and he seems to be doing fine.

Everett was a project and his injury set him WAY back. He might just not be an NFL player, but the Bills should give him more time and I see no reason to toss him just yet, unless CJ Leak is some kind of diamond in the rough.

Over Daniel Graham? I think Graham has more upside than those two as a blocker and receiver.

[Lee-83]

Forget Everett, Cieslak is Raw!

[NC-BILLS44]

I have my answer.

According to Jauron, Everett's fall on the depth chart is due more to his lack of experience and inability to grasp the offense than his talent.

I agree. Let's not forget that aside from a torn ACL in his first year, he also didn't have experience coming out of college. I don't think he's football smart just yet.

I hate being right all the time. it get's old.

According to Jauron, Everett's fall on the depth chart is due more to his lack of experience and inability to grasp the offense than his talent. "Really, in Kevin's defense, if he needs one at this point, he's really in his rookie year," Jauron said. "He missed the whole year last year. He's doing fine. He's working hard. He just needs to get a better understanding of what we need all the time and what the game is like at this level."

Just for those who don't understand "coach speak" when Jauron say's that it's his inability to grasp the offense that means he can't memorize the playbook. Cieslak came from the practice squad but he grasp's the offense better in his second start?

[Goobylal]

Stevens has bad hands. He's also soft. No thanks.

Graham is a better blocker, but too inconsistent.

Eric Johnson would be good, but the 49'ers have a TON of cap room and will likely re-sign him.

It looks like the Bills will have to look to the draft to find a TE.
