Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 When Peters comes back and we need to put him on the active roster, who will get cut? Obviously, it depends on when he comes back and what positions we're healthy at, but I will nominate the following players: QB Gibran Hamden WR Justin Jenkins OT Kirk Chambers OT Matt Murphy OG Duke Preston OG Jason Whittle DE Copeland Bryan OLB John Corto S Bryan Scott S John Wendling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsD#1in2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 i will have to say either copeland bryan or Corto but i kind of hope it is Matt Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I have to agree with Matt Murphy. That, or put him on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huuuge Bills Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm gonna say it's Copeland Bryan, John Corto, or Matt Murphy. Most of the others are either primary backups (Chambers, Whittle), or play big roles on ST (Wendling, Jenkins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah, I was a little surprised Murphy dodged IR. Maybe they figured the guys they cut they could do without, and they'll just use the time it takes Peters to report to monitor Murphy. But I don't really see Murphy getting picked up anywhere, nor contributing much to the Bills this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really like Corto. Not surprised by the release of Wright. Looked really good last year, but surprisingly slow and heavy-footed this year, fumbles aside. Glad that D. Bell made the team. Good story, impressive athelete. Could be another Peters in the making. Really surprised that C Bryan and Murphy made the team over Will James.

Ennjay Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just a procedural thing, delaying this: isn't there a two-week roster exemption for something like Peters reporting after the 53-man roster is set? That is, he can't play but no one has to be cut for two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglukes Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Bryan, Bell, or Murphy to IR. No way Corto gets cut, I don't think there's a shot in hell they go down to only 5 linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Murphy to IR, book it. If Peters doesn't report, Murphy to IR when they pick up a TE. I wouldn't be surprised if they're looking for a veteran TE off waivers since Royal is the only one currently on the roster who will be active next Sunday. Then either Fine goes on IR or they cut a receiver if Peters has reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Murphy to IR on Monday. But I don't get why they just didn't do it now and keep another player like TE Tim Massaquoi. Who would've thought letting Michael Gaines leave would've mattered?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would've thought letting Michael Gaines leave would've mattered?? Why keep a guy for 2 days? When Peters reports, Murphy goes to IR and you don't have to tell a guy who thought he made the roster that he's getting cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 But I don't get why they just didn't do it now and keep another player like TE Tim Massaquoi. Who would've thought letting Michael Gaines leave would've mattered?? Gaines signed a contract for 10 million dollars with the Lions. Anderson and Fine were brought in to replace him. You can't prepare a team for two injuries at the same position. It's as if they kept Gaines, and then he and Fine got hurt. They would still have the same problem.

With the injury history of Edwards & Losman, this is one team that needs to carry 3 QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 DE Copeland Bryan and OT Matt Murphy would be my choices - has Bryan done anything? is he good on teams? I've can't remember hearing his name called ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that but i feel like ive heard you can do that. keep him inactive but carry him on the roster.... not sure we need some experts here Lori?
