Biermann's addition puts Striker in further jeopardy it would seem. Likely a PS guy this year.

Rex said it was now one of the deeper positions. Here's how I have it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mPhlH_vlqvgrWNkpVH-oxlCsBTEDbDFelpvahy08mb0/edit?usp=sharing

My revised 53 after the 1st pre-season game. Players removed are struck through, players added in red.

 

QB: T. Taylor; EJ Manuel; C. Jones (3)

FB: J. Felton (1)

RB: L. McCoy; R. Bush; M Gillislee; J. Williams (4)

TE: C. Clay; C. Gragg; J. Dray B. Annen(3)

WR: S. Watkins; R. Woods; G. Salas; M. Goodwin; G. Little; D. Lewis, W. Powell (6)

OL: C. Glenn; R. Incognito; E. Wood; J. Miller; J. Mills; C. Koundjio; F. Velasco; R. Groy; (8) 25

Additional Non-Active: S. Lawson, M. Easley (PUP); K. Williams (Suspended first 4 weeks); R. Ragland & K. Listenbee (Injured Reserve); S. Henderson (Non-Football Illness); (5 6)

Nailed It!

I still dislike Velasco but there's nobody else in camp except Kugler, and he's worse.

Did anybody track Sanborn v. Ferguson Saturday night? I didn't see any bad long snaps...

 

Heard on the broadcast that one of the early snaps was a little right of Schmidt. Early in the game, I assume it was Sanborn.

 

Being the sad bastard I am, I'll do an ST run through tomorrow. Without endzone angles, snap direction can be a little tricky to nail.

Thanks...just seems like an easy way to get younger and cheaper if Ferguson (whose nickname should be Turd, by the way) can handle the job under duress.

Bills would save 1 million by letting the older guy go. Reid was getting quite the work today on the other field. Didn't see Sanborn.

It's about a $300k saving. No pressure to keep the vet, just the best option.

 

Ok, fellas, which is it?

Meeks over Blanton? That's one's a head scratcher.

Typo perhaps? cuz that is incorrect. Blanton makes it easily. Lattimore and Hawthorne is a coaches call. I do not see the difference

also the one list who dumps Spikes is odd too.

I canot see how he does not make the team.

I am pretty interested in who lands on PS. Zimmer, Striker ??

I don't see Annen making this team ahead of Dray. Other than that full agreement. Glad to see Gay gone.

Much better

If they go with one kicker can they keep Dray to block?

I haven't seen anything from Spikes that would lead me to want him on the roster. He looks terrible out there. Probably go ahead and just keep 4 ILBs. Use the roster spot for a KO specialist or a FA guard. Or just keep S Lawson on the active roster.

 

Also, I don't think Groy and Velasco are safe for the final roster. I see the Bills bringing in some FAs after teams make their final cuts.

I thought he played a little better this week... I just think they might want his leadership given the people they are going to be missing. Still wouldn't amaze me if he misses out.

 

On the O-line I think Groy has been steady and I expect him with his history with Kromer to make the team. Velasco losing out to a cut would not surprise me at all and I said so in my hurt and helped thread. I think the Bills will be looking for an out and out centre.
