I don't think our 2nd string QB is on the roster yet. Whaley had to sign who he could over the weekend. Tuel, Leinart and Lewis are in the interesting position of playing for the opening day starter/3rd string spot.
A lot of QBs will be available in 6 days. My guess is Whaley signs whoever is cut between Brady Quinn and Tarvaris Jackson. Jackson might even be able to start week 1 with knowledge of the offense. I'm guessing the Giants would also like to sneak Ryan Nassib onto the practice squad, but know the Bills would sign him if they tried.
Having said all that, EJ is obviously the starter when he is healthy, Kolb is probably headed to IR, 2nd string will be acquired next week and 3rd string/opening day starter will be decided in practice and during the game on Thursday. If Tuel losses out to Leinart or Lewis in the next few days, he probably makes the practice squad. For all of the positive talk about Tuel, his performance on Saturday was less than stellar.

Trent Edwards had a solid 2010 camp and pre-season. I wonder how he would do in this offense. I bet he would be good at checking down to avoid "would be sacks."
-
It seems like Anderson was more 4-3 DE than 3-4 OLB. Just more evidence that players will need to fit into the new 3-4 to have a chance to make the roster.
-
I'll ask the dumb, lazy question. Anyone have Stevie's deal and some deal numbers on Garcon, Meachem deals etc.?
Thanks.

Since Chan is getting Levitre work in at Center, I'm guessing the Bills are planning on cutting Hangartner and his $2.5 million salary. Salary chop continues.
-
Also can't hurt us.
Can't fumble, run backwards, drop the ball, etc.
Just sayin
Sorry, I was talking about the Bills' 3rd best receiver of all time Lee Evans, not Shawn Nelson.
-
I like Lee. I think he'll do well in B-more but the Bills would not have had one more win or one less loss with him on the team this year. I support Buddy and Chan trying something different...it was time to change it up.
I hear you, but the 4th Rounder in 2012 has zero chance of helping us this yr.
-
Lee Evans having a good game for the Ravens tonight. Had a deep ball for 43 yards.
3 catches for 68 yards.
Buddy should inquire about Evans to jump start the offense. Maybe they would take a 4th.
-
I thought Jonathan Scott was decent. Would have been better than Cornell Green. Now on the field in the playoffs.
-
J.P. Losman going to the playoffs with the beard in tow.
-
In theory, I get why Buddy would extend Merriman. Our pass rush is still developing and we are re-signing a veteran who has potential.
However, in practice, we have a long list of unrestricted free agents who are wondering what their future will be. Granted, we won't be re-signing everyone, but it definitely sends a message to guys in the locker room when Buddy re-signs someone who has yet to see the field. I think it says its better to be one of Buddy's guys instead of a Bills veteran. I wasn't a fan of the Kelsay contract, but at least it said if you work hard on the field, you will be rewarded.
-
Looks like Joique Bell was cut by Indy. I thought he played well for the Bills in pre-season. I hope he can be re-signed, either now or after the season.
-
Just a hunch, aaron maybin gets his first sack against brett favre this weekend (would be hard to do if he's inactive).
-
I wonder if Shanahan was impressed with Losman's luxuriant beard.

Hopefully we do not give up more than 30 this weekend.
-
I question the FO in signing Kelsay to a lucrative deal, but they won't trade Lee for a 3rd round pick (teams don't give up 1's and 2's anymore (especially with the coming rookie salary cap). Lee is the most talented player on the team. The man has 40 touchdowns on Bills' teams that haven't exactly lit it up. He still has speed. Evans is the goods.
-
we ran the 4-3 all day today. Maybe you should watch.
Yeah, my post was before the game, so looks like Chan was thinking the same thing (not that its anything to be proud of). I just watched the game on NFL Game Rewind. To start it looks like it was Stroud, Troup, Williams and Edwards up front with Kelsay, Poz and Davis at LB. It scares me when I see Kelsay away from the Line of scrimmage. Maybe they can work Kelsay into the front and have Ellison back at LB covering people.
Also I hope they make Flacco beat us next week. I'm fine with giving up pass yards next week since the run defense is so bad. Force Willis to run against 8 guys in the box and blitz Flacco to actually try and get a sack.
-
Since we are good at changing direction mid-season, how about going back to the 4-3 during the bye week? Being 30th against the run is looking really good right now. We might get some pressure on the QB to generate an INT as well. Ryan Denney is waiting by the phone.
-
Schefter is consistently in error when it comes to the machinations on 1 Bills Drive. The Bills know there is no trade market for Edwards.
-
Never having played a down of football, I would say we need to play a 3-2-6 defense on Sunday vs. New England. We should take turns blitzing Whitner and or Scott from different angles. New England has one of the worst running attacks in the league. We need guys on the field that can cover. It was painful to watch Chris Kelsay attempt to cover Jermichael Finley last week.
Go Bills.

Not sure if nicknames have been thrown around for our Running Back triumvirate.
How about Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

appreciate your service.
Go Bills.
Who's excited for rookie minicamp tomorrow?

Looking forward to the documentation of those career milestones known as "would be sacks"
