BuffaloBilliever Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Shows Spencer Johnson above John McCargo in the RDT spot... I know he's been injured and very sparingly used in individual drills, but did we pick him up to start over Kyle and John? Or what... I figured it'd be a Marcus/Kyle, with John solidified at the other technique. Yes... I think that Kyle could start over Marcus. Although it's a huge stretch, the guy has done nothing but step up and prove he deserved to be on that line. I could see an even split between him and Marcus if he proves his worth. He's sure as hell not a Tim Anderson... *knock on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 When the setting of a starting line-up is a long way off, it's not unusual to see players listed in alphabetical order on a depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrite Gal Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 This also may be a coaching move. By placing Johnson first on the depth chart it may well be a challenge to him to step up and not be complacent with "merely" being a solid NFL back-up. It also COULD possibly be configured as a challenge to McCargo to step up his game in his third year if he wants to be considered a starter. The former is a bit more positive than the latter, but both could easily be bits of psychology which the coaches use on a team where good competition is the order of the day.

I think the more they play, McCargo will progress, and become more clearly dominant and the sure starter. Right now, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If we're to believe what the coaches have said, the DT rotation will be very fluid and any "starter" designation is pretty much worth the paper it's printed on. They've been using all sorts of different combinations during the OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans4e64 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You know this how? How much have you seen Spencer play to base this on? It is my opinion, and it sounds like it is the Bills' opinion also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been using all sorts of different combinations during the OTAs. They always are fluid in June. I've never understood why folks consider a depth chart as words chipped in stone, drawing all kind of conclusions from same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
