I'm really getting sick of these. I don't think TD would be dumb enough to cut him right now. He's the only TE we have that can catch. What are all these people thinking??

i'm not sick of them. right now riems. has a couple of problems.
1. either he is not getting open or they are not looking for him in the game plan. one catch for 11 yds. is not going to cut it at his salary. i'm curious to see what role he plays this sunday.
2. he's not a good blocker.
3. td is pissed about him not taking a salary cut.
they should have cut him in camp if they are not gonna throw to him. if they don't start using his strengths, then why keep him here.

It's only been one game. Give the guy a break. He's a good TE. He has 15 more games to prove that. The Jets have good LB so it is hard for TE to get open. Also we ran the ball a lot. If his numbers don't improve by week 6 or 7 then we can talk about cutting him.LET"S GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!!!

I believe the article was talking about him not having a job in Buffalo next year. Considering everything - his salary, unwillingness to reneg on contract, and so far a limited performance in preseason and 1st game - I don't really see what's wrong with predicting its going to be tough for Riems to have a job as a Bill in 2003.

Dave Moore is an underrated pass catching TE. Last year was really only the first time that JR posted significantly better numbers than DM did. Also, with receivers that run 4 deep and three RBs that can catch (LC, TH, SM), the necessity of a great pass-catching TE is not as important. Another factor to consider is that we are moving to a smash-mouth, run-oriented type of offense. While Moore is at least an adequate fit in a pass-oriented offense, JR is not a good fit at all in a smash-mouth offense - he can't block. Finally, TE is one of the positions where there always seems to be someone available in free agency that's at least decent. Perhaps we won't get someone of JR's calibre. But if we save 1.5 mil in cap space and pick up someone else that can give us a nice complement to Moore I think we come out ahead.
