Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 No real surprises I don't think. Except that, unless Shouman is healthy, don't we only have one healthy TE? Something else will definitely happen. I wouldnt doubt if we took back Anderson or Massaquoi and released someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huuuge Bills Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Well, unless we sign a TE that someone else released, we're going into week one with just Bobby Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think Shouman will be available for week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Now the question is, who gets the boot when Peters reports? Hamden? Preston? Chamberlain? Bryan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Regarding the TE's (from the article linked): Surprisingly the coaching staff carried just three tight ends on the roster including the injured Derek Fine and Derek Schouman. Both Fine and Schouman are questionable at best for the opener with no firm timetable on a return for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think Shouman will be available for week 1. Still, they very likely are going to keep three TEs on the roster, especially with only one FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsD#1in2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I was dissappointed Buggs didn't make it, i was really rooting for him and well the signing of Will James definitely did not work out as planned ohh well i hope all the right decisions were made.

nodnarb Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Now the question is, who gets the boot when Peters reports? Hamden? Preston? Chamberlain? Bryan? huh? chamberlain? It'd be Copeland Bryan - numbers on the DL. We'll need Hamdan so we'll have a second guy who has been in the system next year when JP is gone.

ans4e64 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Still, they very likely are going to keep three TEs on the roster, especially with only one FB. Yeah. Murphy will either be put on IR or PUP list, that frees up a spot. Fine could also be put on the PUP list if they think he will be out the first 6 weeks, that would be two spots for them to add another TE or OL.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Congrats to Steve Johnson. He could develop into a player. Omon showed me some talent, too, although it's impossible to tell if he can run and block like that with any consistency against starters with real bullets. Huge kudos to Corto for making the team, at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I was a little surprised that Anderson & Massaquoi both got cut, with the injuries to Schouman & Fine. I was hoping Anderson would have been used as an extra red-zone threat, with him being 6'7", 270lbs, but I didn't even hear his name called during the pre-season. I heard rumors that Peters might show up Monday, it wouldn't surprise me. With training camp, pre-season and the final cuts being completed, he has no reason not to show up mow. I'd be surprised if he didn't show up by next Sunday. Even if Peters shows up this week, I don't think he'll start at LT, maybe work him in at some point, but that's it.

Hopefully, he'll make an impact this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah. Murphy will either be put on IR or PUP list, that frees up a spot. Fine could also be put on the PUP list if they think he will be out the first 6 weeks, that would be two spots for them to add another TE or OL. Murphy and/or Fine aren't eligible to go on the PUP.

I don't think Buffalo could look ahead and forsee two rookie CB's playing so well. Congrats to Steve Johnson. He could develop into a player. Omon showed me some talent, too, although it's impossible to tell if he can run and block like that with any consistency against starters with real bullets. Huge kudos to Corto for making the team, at least for now. Omon making the team really speaks volumes about Wright's commitment to the game. Jauron called him out last year and I guess it didn't help much. I'm really glad Johnson made the team too. At 6'1" he brings a little more size to the receiving corp.
