lets_go_bills Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I just got back from the game. I think Youboty helped himself, but it may be too late. I also think Wright got himself cut with that fumble. He was running and saw the tackler, lowered his shoulder, ready for contact. The ball was on the OTHER side, opposite the defender, and he still coughed it up big. You simply can't do that. Not in the NFL, not in preseason against a weak team's backups. Congrats to Omon.

eball Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How will people feel if Omon doesn't make the team and Wright does? I'll react with a big yawn, since neither of them will see the field in a regular season game unless catastrophe strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'll react with a big yawn, since neither of them will see the field in a regular season game unless catastrophe strikes. Catastrophe? Not really. 1st and 2nd string RB's are used in every single game, so only one of them needs to miss a game for the 3rd stringer to share some carries. Dwayne Wright had almost 30 carries last year, remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Can that safety be blamed on Wright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrite Gal Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Another big winner tonite was Peters. The back-ups on the Oline played so one cannot reasonably expect them to play like starters, but it showed how bad it may well get if injuries like the one which knocked Walker out of the line-up happen and this heightens Peters leverage. Likewise also, the unfortunate injury to Hamdan should have no effect on our regular season play, but this simply shows how vulnerable the QB position is even under normal circumstances and with Edwards and JP already laid low by QB injury this will heighten the desire of the coaches and GM staff to do all they can to protect the QB. The main reason I think he will be back soon is that Ralph will gracefully cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaikotic Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 someone had to turn it into a Peters thread didnt they winners - Youboty, Hamdan, Costanzo, Johnson, Bell, Ellis, McKelvin (kick returner) losers - Wright, OLine (besides Bell) needs work - McKelvin (CB, and KR..needs to stop catching inside the 5) I still dont see anything from James or Spragan..not losers but not winners either...I dont want them on the team just because they r vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonInBuffalo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 depends on how badly Hamdan is hurt. Any word on the post game?I didn't see any direct quotes other than mentioning he was "dazed". Apparently he just got hit in the helmet with a knee and is going to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed Bills Blue Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Wright...was running and saw the tackler, lowered his shoulder, ready for contact. The ball was on the OTHER side, opposite the defender, and he still coughed it up big. Also at the game, and I have to agree with that description of the fumble...it was a real surprise to see it pop out. They weren't going for the ball, just a solid hit, but nothing spectacular. Wright saw the hit coming and appeared to have the ball covered up, but... A shame because I thought he was making good decisions and running pretty well last night (has been all pre-season). He was patient, showed good vision and kept finding holes for some positive yards, without a great deal of help. I wouldn't count Wright out just yet. In the post-game, DJ just said "there have been a lot of successful RBs who start out being tagged as fumblers and have gone on to do well." Or words to that effect. I also agree with this. That should be a coach-able defect. I think he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
