ganesh Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Who are the guys likely to be gone from this team for next season? This thread is not who will leave the team, but who will get the axe Offense: o Josh Reed: I think 3 years is quite a time to prove yourself, especially if you are a high draft pick (2nd rd pick) o Mike Pucillo: He turned into a Sullivan of last year. Did squat. o Neufield: Both campbell and Euhus were playing good. If we draft a TE, then Neufield might be the odd man out. Defense: o Pierson Prioleu : He cannot be getting a million buck for keeping the bench warm. o Ryan Denney: Might be on his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Denney's not going anywhere. I think Izell Reese is the most obvious candidate to leave town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCCEO Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 as for denney, i think he's sub-par as well: but holy sh-- did he surprise me be jumping over that lineman to sack maddox the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'd like to cast my vote for Josh Reed. Some of you SEC homers (you know who you are) seem to back this guy year in and year out. But I think it's pretty clear that he is NOT an NFL-caliber WR. Not by any stretch.

That PI call on him Sunday cinched it as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Coy Wire. Safety depth has to be a priority in the draft/offseason. 192852[/snapback] The Coy Wire decision will heavily depend on what they're paying him. If he's got a contract that assumed he would be the starting SS by this point instead of a special teams player, then he might be in trouble. Then, likely unwilling to restructure, he'll end up playing special teams for another coach at an equitable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PP had a good year on Special Teams. If the choice is between those two, it's easily Reese who's packing his bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent ST players are a dime a dozen - and ST 'specialists' are minimized on this team by the willingness of the coaches to play starters on STs.

OnTheRocks Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Justin Bannan. Although he is a dependable backup. There just isn't room on the roster for Pat, Sam, Ron Edwards, and Tim Anderson plus others at DT. Dante Brown - this is an obvious choice. Rian Lindell - this guy should have been asking "paper or plastic?" 9 months ago. Ryan Nuefeld - TE is truly the weakest position on this team. I was shocked to hear either TD or MM say they were very happy with this position in the Q&A yesterday. These last three players are examples of players that make a team that regualarly finish below .500 Hopefully that won't be the Bills again next year.

stevewin Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Decent special team players are a "dime a dozen"?????????? Didn't you learn anything this season? 192894[/snapback] Yes - I learned that the Bills STs was better this year because they put more of their talented players there, including starters, which is what Martz refuses to do and one of the reasons he clashed with April and why April is here now. What I meant by decent are the remaining players on STs who aren't standouts but do their jobs - the 'decent' ones. Wire is definitely replaceable on STs.

Mark VI Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 NO WAY. PP had a good year on Special Teams. If the choice is between those two, it's easily Reese who's packing his bags. 192870[/snapback] Agreed. I believe PP led ST's in tackles. Reese is completely useless.
