quite honestly, byrd barely had to do much all season, because teams continued to kill the Bills with the run game lol.
-
I like the changes. At least SOMETHING is changing, sick of the same 'ol every year. fuk it, give it a shot, take risks, you can't win big without gambling. Just hope our gambles pay off!!
-
He's undrafted lol. What's there to worry about? It's a no risk investment, and if it works out, total score
-
NO NO NO, jesus, what are we gonna have 2 ex seahawks qb's. Retarded, better off just starting anew with a rookie. What do we have to lose? We can't get WORSE LOL!
-
lol great a mans game, and we have a FEMINIST doing the half time show, wonderful lol
-
It's because of Levy that we even have fred jackson on our team. Very thankful for that lol
-
Maybe we'll sign deon branch hahaa
-
It's gonna be John Potter!
haha -
mckelvin gets burned so many times. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to pull out his hair every time he gets left in the dust...or has a pass interference call haha
-
The Lindell situation is very interesting...He has been shaky as of late, and that shank on thursday certainly didn't help him lol. We were put in a lot of bad situations last season, because of his inability to kick the ball in the endzone. Potter has a hell of a leg, and if he can do the same in the next 3 games, I don't see why he wouldn't make the team. It would certainly make sense. Moorman is gonna have a hell of a season too it seems!! Go Bills!!

lol we have one preseason game and everyone thinks the world is going to end. Like really. It's PRESEASON, that's when you experiment. There's no game plan, just trying different things. One thing is for sure. Potter is definitely a plus. If he can nail em in the endzone every game, that will be a huge plus we didn't have last year.

he's injured as hell anyway. I'm glad he didn't sign lol

Right now, of the 27 draft picks Nix has made as Bills GM, 24 are still with the organization. Of that group, there are 13 players that, barring injury, are almost certain bets to make the opening day roster. Those players include: Marcell Dareus, C.J. Spiller, Stephon Gilmore, Aaron Williams, Cordy Glenn, Kelvin Sheppard, T.J. Graham, Da'Norris Searcy, Nigel Bradham, Chris Hairston, Ron Brooks, Zebrie Sanders and Justin Rogers.
That, of course, leaves 11 Nix draft picks that are fighting for jobs this summer.
I think Potter is going to make it simply because he has a hell of a leg, and we need to start getting the ball deep in the endzone, which lindell obviously hardly ever does. It will be a must need. I see it happening.
2010-2-41: Torell Troup, DT, Central Florida. Back injuries first slowed, and then stopped, Troup's on-field development. He's aided by the fact that the depth at defensive tackle is currently in a state of flux, but Troup must prove that his back is fully repaired to earn a roster spot. I think he makes the team if he stays healthy through the preseason games.
2010-3-72: Alex Carrington, DT, Arkansas State. Drafted to be a five-technique defensive end in a 3-4, Carrington will now slide to defensive tackle, where he has some upside as a situational pass rusher. How quickly he transitions to his new role will go a long way toward determining whether or not he makes the team. I think he makes the team.
2010-4-107: Marcus Easley, WR, Connecticut. Easley's story is well-known at this point: he's an excellent physical talent that has yet to appear in a regular season game due to a rookie knee injury and a heart condition. Purportedly healthy again, if Easley can stay that way through early September, he's a strong bet to stick. I think he makes the team if he stays healthy.
2011-5-133: Johnny White, RB, North Carolina. Considered an excellent special teams player with upside as a backup-type runner, White was unremarkable as a rookie, and will compete with veteran Tashard Choice for the third running back job this summer. I don't think he will make the team because T. Choice is a much more reliable RB and the Bills will need a third RB that they can count on behind Jackson and Spiller.
2012-5-147: Tank Carder, LB, TCU. Linebacker depth is something of a free-for-all this year, so it's hard to call any depth player a lock at this point. I like Carder's chances, considering he was the only linebacker on this list drafted specifically to play in a 4-3. His chances are 50/50 to make the team. I think he will be one of the last players to make the team as long as the Bills don't pick up a veteran LB along the way like they did with Barnett.
2011-6-169: Chris White, LB, Mississippi State. To my eye, Carder and White are fairly interchangeable athletically, with Carder perhaps a hair more agile. I like White coming into the league, and think he's got just as good a chance at earning a depth/special teams spot as any other linebacker this year. It's going to be Carder or White. I'm picking Carder at this point.
2010-6-178: Arthur Moats, LB, James Madison. Earlier in the off-season, it was fair to question where the former college defensive end fit as a 4-3 linebacker, but Moats has had a great off-season to date. He's now hovering near lock territory, and his pass rushing ability gives the Bills a potential sub-package wrinkle if he makes the cut. I think he'll make the team.
2012-6-178: Mark Asper, C, Oregon. A massive 6'7", 325-pound former college tackle and guard, Asper is learning the center position, where he'll compete with veteran Colin Brown - among others - for the fifth interior lineman spot on the final roster. I think the Bills will only keep 8 OLs on the 53 man roster, which means he won't make it.
2010-6-192: Danny Batten, LB, South Dakota State. Another former college defensive end drafted to play 3-4 outside linebacker, Batten now looks very out of place in a 4-3. He's worked as a long snapper in spring practices to try to increase his roster value, but Batten has the steepest climb to the final roster of any linebacker listed here. If he doesn't make it as the LS then he won't make the team. I'd love to see him make it in that role because he can play LB/DE as well. Thus, I say that he will beat out Sanborn.
2011-7-245: Michael Jasper, OG, Bethel (TN). A fan favorite from the very day he was drafted, Jasper spent his rookie season on the practice squad working as a guard. The fact that he's purely a guard at this point hurts his cause, but he's still a marvelous athlete for such a massive man, and he'll be fighting for the final guard/center spot alongside Asper. he won't make it.
2012-7-251: John Potter, K, Western Michigan. There's no question that Potter will capably perform the role of kickoff specialist that he was drafted to fill. The question will be whether or not the coaching staff can find a spot for such a limited role player on the final roster. I don't think he will make it.
In summary, of the 24 drafted players that are still with the Bills, I anticipate that 19 will make the 53 man roster in 2012. That's 19 of the 27 players that Nix has drafted or 70%, which is pretty darn good. What are your thoughts regarding these players and the job that Nix has done thus far??

No problem!
I think what's starting to happen is what happened all those years ago. We're now finally adding depth to the team, yet besides mario williams we're still flying under the radar. We're putting together one heck of a team, especially on defense now. The pieces are finally starting to fall together!!
-
Our defensive line MUST apply pressure to opposing QB's or we may never win a game this year.
Arthur Moats will apply most of the pressure from the outside!! 2 sacks from him, Carrington will be in too, if we get pressure the interception parade will start!!! GO BILLS!!

In one sense edwards deserves a second chance, he had really bad coaching...But on the other hand , Brohm has an ARM, and he can bomb it and he seems to be a good decision maker meaning he won't bomb it just to bomb it like Losman did. I'm excited to see how Brohm progresses.
im well aware of that, and while I do not mistake highlight videos for definitive evidence, i do find it promising that brohm has done well, so far as i can tell, up to this point.I make no secret of the fact that I would like to seem BB win the starting job, so I like to see my pony leading the pack so far.

Looking over our offensive weapons, if utilized properly, we could give defenses fits with their coverages. Evans has as much straight line speed as anyone out there, Nelson has good size and speed out of the TE position, Parrish has crazy quickness (imagine him in a Patriots offense) Hardy has a physical advantage at 6' 5" w/ 4.5 40 speed, and let's not forget the elusive CJ Spiller who can come out of the backfield and find matchups against linebackers in coverage.
If teams go nickle and dime to cover that, pound away with FJ and Lynch. We've got the weapons, it's just a matter of knowing how to use them.
Key is can the team stay healthy. Hopefully the new conditioning coaches will have a better impact on our team. One good thing about all the injuries last year was it gave 2nd and 3rd string players a lot of experience. So there's a lot of promise, there's a lot of good talent on the team as long as it's utilized the right way. I agree Nelson will probably become the #1 TE. He's gonna be great. I think Steve Johnson is gonna be our new 3rd down man. For some reason I see him fitting Josh Reeds spot. Someone's gonna have to step up this year, I'm just wondering who it will be..
CJ or Gore, who do you think is going to get left out of the top 100 t

If he doesn't make it, he'll have more fuel for the fire for this season.
