BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Wouldnt be surprised if Peters comes back on the Practice Squad though. Brown was a waste of a roster spot, so long Antonio! We hardly knew ye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Yeah I think they're hoping to sign JP to the PS by releasing him early, in the huge wave of cuts today. Hopefully it works since that would be ideal. I didn't think they'd be able to do it, so let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I would think that the guys currently on the roster who would be targeted for the practice squad would be in the final cuts not todays cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 i must admit, i'm disappointed that these two were cut. i'd like to see peters on the practice squad. in two years, he might be something special. now another team can put him on their practice squad...i wish they had waited until the final cuts, so that no one could pick him up unless they want to put him on the active roster. same with antonio. Both of these guys will be picked up. Brown didn't do much, but either did dante hall in his first *3* years. 4.15 speed is rare, and i'm surprised we didn't keep him. he'll find a team.

I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I don't think Brown is eligible for the practice squad. I he has 4.15 speed we've never seen it going forward but he does run 4.3 sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Yes he did....and it was because he decided to run backwards and sideways all the way to it. 13010[/snapback] The Bills have cut a player before in the first round of cuts with the intent of appearing to give up on a project early in an effort to sign to the PS later. The most recent example i can't remember his name but he was a black QB they had a couple of years back. Given the buzz around Peters who was a fan favorite but definitely is a project I would not be surprised to see him come back on the new expanded practice squads. In fact is exactly because of this expansion that the Bills might have cut him early as other teams will be doing some heavy shopping for PS projects after the second round of cuts.

They must cut Pucillo, he has become the symbol for the Bills ineptitude on the interior OL, and they could have saved some face with fans if they had done it now.

Good point LaBatt. I'm thinking they might sign Trafford to the PS next week - I don't think he'll make the final cut but he had a great camp and still has PS eligibility.

They find it even better and evidentally funnier, if the nicknames have some sexual connotations. Just to get as far as he has, Mike Pucillo must be an incredible football player but maybe just not quite NFL material. Not one of you would call him kitty willow to his face but are emboldened by your anonymous nature here to be big shot name callers on the board. The best I can figure these are probably the same people who find Jim Rome hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbank Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Also wish they could find a space for Jason Peters such a big man and he is only twenty two, as said above working with him in two years he could be a very useful player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That we say it how it is, and don't need to hide behind PC bulls#it in order to protect everyone's sensitive little feelings. !@#$ that. That's why Rome's show is the most honest. He, unlike people like you, doesn't care if someone's feelings might get hurt so we can speak truthfully. Pucillo's nickname was easy, because it sounds like PussyWillow anyway. That, combined with the fact that he is weak at his position (relative for an NFL athlete), makes it funny. Now, before your blood pressure goes through the roof with all this trying to be PC and polite, next time you hear "Pussywillow", smile and move on. Don't sweat the small stuff.

R. Rich Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Wow. Who knew a simple little nickname would stir up so much angst? BTW, it was me who came up with the nickname for Mr Pucillo. My post was intended to be sarcastic, since I obviously knew full well who came up with the nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
