/dev/null Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 how do joe burns and that dorenbos guy keep sticking around? burns sucks and they don't have the depth to afford a dedicated long snapper. kinda surprised at the sobeski cut, i thought he was being groomed to take C away from Teague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Why did we keep Pucillo? 19105[/snapback] We kept Pucillo so our Def. lineman could gain confidence each week in practice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Too bad about Sullivan, I would've thought TD could've at least gotten a low draft choice for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Sobieski vs. Pucillo--we never really saw Sobieski on the field for real..we know Pucillo is bad--but maybe Big Ben was worse. Also, I have heard about shoulder and back problems for Sobieski that border on chronic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsue Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Surprised they did not keep haddad. Why not keep marcus sullivan? But the kept the one that wears # 70 PUKECILLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid did show some early promise..but he seemed very lazy the last two years. The opportunity was there for him due to injury last year and then Ruben being cut and he never really competed. He looked slow at tackle and very tame at guard.....well he lasted three years....I think that makes him pension eligible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Someone will pick up Stevenson in a heart beat. 19112[/snapback] Being from Tennessee this one hurts. I thought he added solid depth and was pretty good at pass coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Wow, I certainly did not think that both McKenzie & Gildon would get cut. Sorry to hear about Drew Haddad, I was hoping he would find a spot. We all knew it would be either Pucillo or Sullivan, not both. Not that surprised that Joe Burns stayed, since he is listed as the backup FB. Too bad about Dominique Stevenson, he's been a good special teamer and backup LB. Ben Sobieski was a surprise leaving, and Jon Dorenbos a surprise staying. My condolences to the fan of Lauvale Sape. Congratulations to Shaud Williams, he has looked sharp. Congratulations to Constantin Ritzmann, this was the guy I was praying for. He has looked very good in the preseason, could be a diamond in the rough, and what a great story he is, coming from Germany. Way to go kid. Now lets get Jason Peters on the P-Squad.

njsue Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Teague is #70.....Pussywillow is #61 19120[/snapback] oops new it was someone that stunk wearing Fina's old #. I stand corrected, thanks.

Buftex Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I think Tucker overtook him for the back-up Center role in the last two weeks. As far as Sobieski vs. Pucillo--we never really saw Sobieski on the field for real..we know Pucillo is bad--but maybe Big Ben was worse. Also, I have heard about shoulder and back problems for Sobieski that border on chronic.... 19117[/snapback] I hope there is something to the Sobieski back and shoulder thing. Wasn't Sobieski a 4th round pick last year? That is pretty fast turnaround on a relatively high draft pick. Obviously, somebody at One Bills Drive thinks Puccio has some game, given all the time and opportunity he has been given to develop. I guess, other than Sobieski, the biggest surprises to me are that both McKenzie and Gildon got whacked (I figured they would keep one of them, McKenzie) and Dominique Stephenson. Despite the crappy special teams this summer, the ST's did show some improvement on coverage as last season wore on, and Stephenson seemed very solid. I am very scared for our special teams (again) this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that bugs me buftex--is that Sobieski was not even a starter in college for most of his career because of the shoulder issue...he even shared time as a senior. That's UDFA material to me -- not a draft choice....a little frustrating to waste a pick but it won't be the first or the last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben S = another wasted draft pick. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Why's everybody surprised Dorenbos made the team? It's not like any other long snapper was used in pre-season. Burns makes the team due to special teams coverage and his rep. as a runner. All Ritzmann did in preseason was make plays - so - congrats to him. Pucillo was the starter for most of PS, so, the coaches must see something in him. He seems to be the pissing boy for Bills fans, but, we don't see him day in day out like the coaches.

They tried Nuefeld, Denny, Teague--none had the velocity or accuracy according to reports from Chris Brown and Jeff Morrison. I think the Magic Man has a chance to be an Adam Linger type---he has a very unique talent and seems to be very willing to work to get better.
