ITS GETTING TO BE CUTTING TIME AND I GOT A FEELING



i have this strange feeling that buffalo might go into the season with 4 maybe 5 running backs which would suck for all the fantasy footballers out there joique bell and chad simpson are to valuable to cut simpson can be are return guy with chad jackson or whoever they put back there with him bell is just amazing reminds me of maurice jones-drew tiny quick keeps the feet moving 

 

 

my projected notable cut list

 

qb ryan fitzpatrick -- sorry fella but brohm is a cheaper and better backup

fb corey mcintyre --  rodney ferguson is faster and imo a better blocker 

wr's james hardy -- has the ability just never brought it to the field

naaman roosevelt -- he is a good football player and will be a practice squad player for sure

donald jones -- see above

o-line kirk chambers -- though he brings a veteran experience to this line i feel there are younger better options then him

de  it's a toss up between spencer johnson and john mcarrgo -- what are your guys thought's on this match up ??

 

linebacker chris kelsey -- chris ellis in my opinion is a far better option out there he is hungry and want to get to the ball at any costs i love to see that in a player

 

all in all if buffalo carried 5 running backs into the season and ran the ball 60% of the time as long as it's positive yardage and trent manages the game well i see a great season ahead of us

the depth chart as i  see it

Replace Woods with Ellison and you got yourself a deal.

Actually looks like a good lineup in my book. And why I said that about Ellisson, he’s proving his worth as a depth LB and on special teams much more than Woods is this pre-season.

Actualy after review, theres a couple other things.

There’s no way that we keep 5 backs. Bell has earned his keep at least until both Jackson and Lynch are back, but Simpson with get axed.

I think it’s a toss up between McIntyre and Ferguson, but Mac probably stays due to his special teams ability.

And I think that Kelsey sticks around. He probably wont be a starter (for long) but he’s still a leader in the locker room and we definitely need the depth. He’s here to stay.

i think simpson is a special team's lock he has shown to be better in the return game as i see it and 5 backs isnt unheard of in receant years raiders ravens broncos had many backs on the active roster

every year i get excited for two things madden and the bills season and im always disappointed by madden i love my bills and i will always love them even if they never win a superbowl who cares we have 2 AFL championships the cowgirls have 0 GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BILLS

Lankster

is probably going down based on his terrible play vs. the colts and the fumble against the redskins

I’m sad to say it, but I don’t think there is any way Kelsay gets axed.

Simpson gets cut as well, Bell is a better RB, and we have other needs to fill. 5 Rb’s and a FB just isn’t going to happen. I think we will have 4 RB’s and a FB.

You left out Schouman. I don’t know how serious his knee injury is, but if he is healthy, he will make the team.

I think spencer johnson is on the team. McCargo may get cut, and I, for one won’t shed any tears over it.

Is this your homework, Larry?

At thius point inthe preseason

I’d be more surprised to see McCargo cut then Johnson.

The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

I think Johnson

Has held in high regards in the mini camps and training camps. I haven’t focused too much on the 2nd string D line, I have mostly been watching NT and LB play.

Perhaps I am just bitter about McCargo, and his years of disappointment.

I don't see Fitz getting cut

My reasoning is that it is not that he is better than Brohm. But he does have NFL experience and has won games. And there is absolutely nothing like actually gameday experience. It would be too much of a risk. I say they keep both and PS Brown.

My reasoning is the same with Kelsay. He is a fan favorite whipping boy, but he is a good player, smart player, effective player and has tons of experience. It would be lunacy to let him go.

McIntyre also stays. He has good experience and he does have quite soft hands. with the O-line as shaky as it is, we need cool headed and experienced people back there to help with blocking and blitz pick up. I’m not saying he is more talented than than Fergusson but that his experience is not something that can be disregarded.

Kirk Chambers says. Too much versatility and experience. He may not be the greatest lineman, but that’s the point, he is too valuable as a back up to discard.

If the choice is between Spencer Johnson and McCargo, I go Johnson stays. I have no particular reason for saying so save that McCargo has more baggage.

I don’t see the 5 rb thing, but I certainly sympathize with it. If they keep more than 3, Bell would be the other one and they could PS Simpson. We have too many high quality rbs to stock pile the position when we could stock pile at D-Line or O-Line or somewhere else.

I also don’t see a future for Nelson. He is not a Chix guy and I don’t see them putting up with his issues if they don’t have to, not to mention his migraines. Schouman is more reliable and better all around player, who has actual experience and was effective.

by Ono on Aug 20, 2010 11:21 PM EDT reply actions  

I’m with you on almost all of your points until the end. I don’t believe it is possible to put Chad Simpson on the PS since he was active all last year with the Colts. He is no longer eligible. But I agree he is probably not going to make the roster.

However, Shawn Nelson will definitely not get cut. He is far too talented. If he screws up again that may be the end of him, but it would be crazy not to give him one more chance.

by Macktruck on Aug 21, 2010 12:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

fitz will absolutely get cut. gailey always talks about consistent accuracy. fitz has no accuracy. brohm, and i am in no way a brohm supporter, played pretty well last week. he has more upside and everyone has seen what fitz can do.

I am going to be bold here and say that jackson is dealt sometime this season. With the way that cj i just dont think jackson is needed. marshawn will b kept because he can b spillers lendale white. hell be the bruiser. and with the young backs in bell and simpson i just dont see jackson in the equation. but then again what do i know

by billsstein on Aug 21, 2010 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hold on, I thought I’d been hearing that McCargo had been playing surprisingly well in camps, why is he all of a sudden a guy to be cut?

True. But how many other times have you heard before that a player is looking really good in camp & preseason only to get the axe. It’s almost like a death kiss to me. They’ve also been talking up Ellis. I wouldn’t be surprised to see either or both of those guys cut just for that reason.

by billskk69 on Aug 21, 2010 9:25 AM EDT up reply actions  

I can’t see how Chambers could make another NFL roster…he’s absolutely the worst offensive lineman I’ve ever seen play…doubt Batten makes it over Kelsay at this point though…he hasn’t played and is safe to develop on the practice squad.

by Port Royal on Aug 21, 2010 1:35 AM EDT reply actions  

In terms of pure talent, Danny Batten is probably the most talented OLB we have at that moment (yes, I know, that’s not saying much). He will either go on IR or the regular roster if there is a reasonable chance he can return early enough in the season. He obviously needs a lot more experience and has unfortunately missed almost all of training camp, but he is also a remarkably quick learner.

Whoa… comparing Joique to MJD is stretchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy.

True dat.

I did hear an awesome interview with him yesterday on NFL radio. This is a great kid. Has had to work for everything he has ever gotten. Nothing handed to him. I was really impressed with Joique and hope he makes the team.

Same here, this kid could be an asset in the long run, especially if Chan doesn’t like Marshawn’s character too much.

In level of talent, definitely stretchy. In type of back, not so much.

Joique bell

Reminds me of Barry Foster back in the day in Pittsburgh.

4 corners...

I think we xut simpson and keep corner.. I really have a hard time beleiving that we keep only 4 corners. Youboty does get injured a lot and god forbid another corner goes down.. The lasr thing we want is to be shopping for some one off the streets. Because we all know we like to sign them anbd then start them the same week… Reggie isn’t terrbile. Ya he’s messed up but I can’t imagine him being on the market that long

Im over pop corn..... But i still like me a little Spiller Thriller!!!!!!!!!!

by OC-BILLS-FAN on Aug 21, 2010 12:41 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

in response to the 4 corners

i feel that if v\buffalo has one thing no one else does is versatility the players have i think 4 cb’s is enough and if need be in nickle and dime packages we could use wilson or scott as an extra db and if injury’s occur sargent who will most likly be on the practice squad again can be called upon

Rodney Ferguson

made a huge mistake late in the game when J. Bell ran for the TD where he jumped, bounced off a guy and then got into the endzone. Anyway… it was clearly a running play and Ferguson went from his Rt. Fullback position on a pass route out to the right flat…

The TV cameras will show after the TD when the team is coming over to the sidelines that Gailey is chewing Ferguson’s a new one for missing that play call because he was suppose to have the main lead block for Bell.

by dabillsr1 on Aug 21, 2010 10:40 PM EDT reply actions  

true but everybody will forget an assignment i glad gailey chewed him instead of hugging him

but ferguson gets lower in his blocks and is quickerf to the hole and with spiller in the backfield it would make sense to have a faster fb to get ahead of him and plow the road

Nice post

I see Shouman, Kelsay, (Corner or Langster,) Mcintyre, and Fitz making the cut, while Calloway, Brown, and Batten make the PS, and the axe for Simpson.

You have Coleman @ ILB. I think he’s an OLB (and PS.) David Nelson might end up PS or IR. Michael Matthews is a long-shot bubble player if the position was healthy, but still, I see him cut.

I think there is going to be one more OL on the team than you suggested, I’m guessing. I’m surprised by Woods’ showing on ST so far, and I agree that he makes the roster.

I just can’t see any way the Bills keep 5 running backs, though I am pulling for Joique Bell to make the roster.

There's not a wide receiver who is fast enough, that J.P. Losman can't overthrow him on a fly pattern.
