Not the guy I was expecting. Not altogether surprising, either.

Wouldnt say its a shock, but I guessed Jenkins would have been the odd man out. We have 7 WR’s.. they wont all go. So I guess theres a good chance TO wont see the field this weekend.

I can’t wait until we have a real GM. So what if Omon isn’t good enough to stick it in the long haul, what’s the point of having 7 wideouts when 2 are going to be inactive on game day? This just smacks of stupidity.

At least have the cajones to stand behind your decision to pull Roscoe. What are we keeping him for at this point? The whim of the next staff?

Empty backfield, shotgun, 6 wide receiver set.
WE’RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS!!!!
Ugh.

Seems like we’re kind of playing with fire with only 2 RB on the roster.

Why did we even bother to get the guy? Couldn’t we have used a lineman? a CB?

At least we gave Wright a chance before he fumbled a bazillion times.

Figures with this organization …

The only reason anyone really cared about Xavier Omon was that his name truncated to the cool sounding X-mon. He really never offered anything more than, say, Bruce Hall but he did have a cooler name. And, should the Bills need a RB, Omon is unlikely to sign with anyone else. Perhaps he and the dreadful Shaud Williams will spend some quality X-Box time together.

why do we need hardy?

…and I don’t mind dumping Omon. I hope the Bills put Hardy and Owens on the field together. How many tall, physical CBs do most defenses have? Hardy was drafted specifically to help in the red zone and could force teams to use their tallest DB on him…even if that DB would be better employed covering Owens or Evans.

We obviously didnt do well with 3 rbs and 6 Wrs. So how can u actually complain this is scary? if both RBs get hurt, we just run a 5 WR set. Not like much would change, still would have poor Offensive output.

You keep the best players on the roster regardless of position. Besides maybe roscoe could play qb/rb in the back field. haha

I think everyone here is really missing the most intriguing question…

After what’s transpired the first half of the season, will James Hardy ask for his #81 back?

“OH MON!!”

I hope so. Phil Rivers talks endlessly about how much he loves throwing to Malcolm Floyd and Vincent Jackson because their height is a monstrous advantage. Does this mean hes ready to play because Hardy needs some balls thrown in his direction. I loved the glimpses we caught his rookie year in the red zone and people need to remember that receivers, especially big ones, dont develop overnight.

Vincent Jackson was a rookie in 2005. He didn’t break 1,000 yards until his fourth season and then only had 59 catches. Now in his fifth season he is on pace for 84 catches 1400 yards and 14 touchdowns. And all this time he was playing with a blue chip QB. People are so impatient its ridiculous. I get that its hard to be patient afer ten years of no playoffs but you cant take that out on Hardy. This is great that hes back. This guy is a big part of our future if he develops as he should. I bet a new coaching staff makes sure to keep him around. Vincent Jackson only had 3 catches for 59 yards his rookie year and then 27 catches in his sophmore campaign. Give Hardy time. I’m glad hes gotten a year to watch TO practice, hes a known hard worker. Our future QB – whether its Trent or not – is going to love having a 6’7 (i still say hes that tall even though hes supposed to 6’5) receiver to throw it up high for. Don’t be suprised if he ends up being our next big time number 1 receiver in two or three seasons.

I feel a little bit bad for Xavier Omon, but he was never going to get any playing time anyways. If Fred Jackson can’t get more than a couple of carries, Omon’s never going to see the light of day.
