Arkady Renko Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 No one seems to give Levi Brown a shot to make it. Everyone is probably right, but I think the Bills are making a mistake. The guy has shown flashes. At times, he has outplayed Thigpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I commend those putting out the whole roster and I really shouldnt be picking at those who are doing it.... I just dont see the reason for keeping Wang, Howard, and Wrotto.....those guys have SHOWN NOTHING and you would hope in their second years there would be some improvement....they get beat so bad so consistantly that I dont even want them on this team...Hairston came out last night and showed what a real offensive linemen is supposed to look like and he has been HURT This is not going to be a tough year to get rid of guys to get tot he needed amount...as a matter of fact we need to pick up a couple of guys....offensive linemen mostly and i dont see more then 2 TE's because we dont run 2 TE sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a firm believer that he will be starting by the end of the season. If he doesn't win a job outright he will be subbed in somewhere (LT or RT) during the season as our guys get nicked up. Going into the offseason he will be projected starter at one of those spots and we won't be crying for a stud in the first or 2nd round at that spot. I still see us taking a tackle in the first 2 rounds and it will be opposite Hairston. If he looks like a good LT then well go with a RT in the 2nd, if he looks good at RT then we will pick a LT in the first. That's unless Fitz looks horrible and we trade our entire draft for the number 1 pick to draft Luck but I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE: Wang, it's not looking good for him. Before the first game, Gailey said he was keeping a close eye on Maybin and Wang. We all know what happened to Maybin. But Wang is a draft pick of the Nix regime so it's possible they give him another shot. I personally don't see it happening. Also, I think Gailey is comfortable with Howard and Wrotto because of their Georgia Tech roots. Howard is JUST coming off an injury and they knew it would be a bit of a rough road for him. Wrotto is a joke. But I think Gailey knows what both men are capable of and there's a comfort zone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unless Fitz looks horrible and we trade our entire draft for the number 1 pick to draft Luck but I don't see that happening. This is what has been formulating in my head for a while now.....the past 2 years have been about rebiulding this defense and they appear to have done that.....Nix said he wanted big nasty guys and they have been following that plan. My thinking is that they will Evaluate Bell for one more year but are not happy with his inconsistancy.....its Bell and Pears (who has simply done his job) and Hairston backup up those two spots....then in the offseason the Bills go after thier QB of the future then the best offensive tackle available (and I suspect that next years draft will be heavy on offensive players) There is one thing that would throw a monkeywrench into this plan.....Shawn Merrimen......the bills have shown that WITH Shawn on the field this defense is dominanat......just flat out dominant.....BUT HE NEEDS TO STAY HEALTHY If Merrimen cannot show he can stay healthy and be our pass rush force then next years number 1 pick will most almost 100 percent for sure be a pass rushing outside linebacker beast in the Merrimen mold. Rooting for you lights out.....because we need to start thinking QB of the future here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not bad Dr......a couple of things You dont have Donald Jones...which I think they are pretty high on I dont think they carry 3 tight ends....I think it is going to be Chandler and Martin I think they are definately going to pluck O linemen off the cuts I also believe they'll carry only two TEs, but I have Chandler and Coussins as the names to keep. Pianalto to the PS, Martin & Nelson cut. Donald Jones makes this team without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you do good work on here Astro but you (and others) need to stop with the Kelsay cutting they just signed him to a big extension and he is going nowhere even though he cant cover and is decent against the run and pass rush. So I would cut Wrotto and hate to do it but Roscoe Parrish with his injuries, salary cap hit of $1,891,667 and the whole youth movement thing.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I may be a bit biased, but I have a really hard time believing the Bills would expose Mike Jasper on the PS. His potential is greater than Kellen Heard, imo and would have a tough time believing that they would keep a 3rd NT unless it was Jasper. Heard is at end now, he looked great in the first game but since his injury hasn't been as good so he could get cut and some how I do think Jasper does make the final cut.

inkman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Did Jasper do anything in the first two games to warrant all the love? The one time I noticed him against the Jags he was being thrown down field like a bowling ball enabling him to recover the fumble 7 yards past the line of scrimmage. Maybe I'm wrong but calling him a project at this point would be a stretch. I'm rooting for the guy buy I can't see him making the cut. Everyone on the DL needs to contribute, they don't have the luxury of carrying a 400 lb feel good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the DL needs to contribute, they don't have the luxury of carrying a 400 lb feel good story. actually I noticed moving all over the field against the Bears, and against Jacksonville he was pretty beastly up the middle. The play you cite him being 7 yards down the field he actually held the point of attack pretty well against a double team. He is a classic 0/1 technique player which are hard to find.

ganesh Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Astro, why do you think they would cut David Nelson and Kirk Morrison? If you think they'd cut Nelson because they are high on Ruvell Martin, I guess I could see that, even though Nelson seemed to have the look of a clutch target, and a tall one, last season. But that same logic would seem to apply if they are high on Morrison as well, whom they also just signed. Unless there is something you know about his health? I view Nelson as critical to this season's success if they are running a lot of 4 and 5 WR formations. I have zero confidence in Easley, last night's game notwithstanding... His hands and his injury problems are cause for concern. I am not averse to seeing him make the team, but saying that both he and R. Martin make the team seems a stretch. And how does Namaan Roosvelt get in over Nelson. This staff is pretty high on Nelson and his ability to make clutch catches....What has Roosevelt done other than being a local guy.

Matt in KC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Stop putting Huggins on the PS, he's not eligible anymore. Why is he not eligible? I thought this was discussed in a thread 2-3 weeks ago and he was one game shy of the limit, and was therefore still eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the DL needs to contribute, they don't have the luxury of carrying a 400 lb feel good story. Jasper is exactly what any rational person thought he was. A major project that might turn into something in a couple seasons from now. He is raw and has a looooong way to go. It wasnt just one play that he got pushed around on against the Jags. They consistently steered him wherever they wanted him to go. A single Guard was able to handle him all night. I dont think we should cut him and give up on him. But he is a practice squad player right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 As much as I love Mike Jasper he is not getting things done in game situations. In fact he's getting pushed around pretty bad. I have to believe it's a technique issue. Hope he gets added to PS. I'll be surprised if he makes the active roster. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Current Roster Another Website's attempt: http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-bills/articles/buffalo-bills-53-man-roster-projection-and-cuts-version-1.html Remember, the Bills just released RB Anthony Elzy, P Reid Forrest, WR Paul Hubbard, OL Isaiah Thompson, CB Loyce Means & DB Rajric Coleman I agree with your roster for the most part and commend you on taking the time to this! I wouldn't be surprised if Ball makes the team at rb and White ends up on the practice squad. I also beleive that Aiken will make the team over Buster Davis. Naaman Roosevelt might end up cut as well, they have some tough choices. If they're going on performance only then I don't beleive Johnny White, Roosevelt, or Buster make the 53 man roster.
