bflobart81 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 my guess is if you're not 1st or second string, this regime is mainly concerned with what you can do on ST. Maybe Gates lacks the special team abilities that Shaud possesses. (same thing with Wire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The cuts are easy to explain: Special Teams First, this is Marv we're talking about - a former ST coach who understands the importance of that unit. Second, this team is barely going to compete on offense and defense, nomatter who they kept or cut today. ST is the one area the Bills can excel at, and as we all know (and Marv knows) it can change a game. That explains: Wire, Shaud Williams, Haggan/Stamer, etc. Not really surprised. Good for DiGiorgio.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Coy Wire may have been kept because Bowen is hurt and may not be ready for the opener. You need a back-up free safety, especially if you're keeping two rookies. And while Wire is surely deserving of some of his whipping boy status, this now makes three different staffs that have kept him. That is saying something. I am surprised by a couple of them. Shaud over Gates doesn't make a lot of sense to me, except that Gates and Thomas are pretty similar players. Shaud adds very little on ST because he would the #3 PR and probably the #3 KR and doesn't stand out at all on the coverage teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
