DiGiorgio - "Out Indefinitely"

Recommended Posts

Corto was converted to LB during the preseason. He took lots of reps during those games at SLB, in part due to Crowell being injured.

 

Assuming DiGiorgio goes on IR, the logical assumption is somebody from the practice squad gets promoted. Wouldn't necessarily be Buggs, but that seems the most likely candidate just to insure they have enough backup LBs on game day.

Then why is Jon Corto listed as Kawika Mitchell's backup at SLB on today's flipcard?

 

I can't get the depth chart for the D to come up from BB.com. So I'm going by this.

 

I didn't notice he is a backup at two positions. Anyhoo, he's there to be a ST player and I'd be very scared to see him starting in either position.

considering Buggs is the only LB on the PS I cant see anyone else comeing in, unless you mean Corey Mace but hes a DT...this dosent mean the Bills dont rob from another teams PS, but then why keep Buggs if they feel that way.

Corto is an LB (but on the offical depth chart he is listed as FS) on the roster he is a LB on BB.com anyway. I like him. he really has shown a lot, to even make the team. I read an artical a while back about him and he was converted back to LB during camp and he is happy about it as he feels it fits his style of play better (the coaches thought so too, obviously). He was a OLB in college and even if he is undersized he is a backup for the position (he is by far the lightest LB at 208). I would think they would slid some one with a bit more experience over if Poz went down and use Corto as back up to them. We also have George oh I mean Blake on the squad, but honestly I think the coaches like Corto a lot (maybe more than Constanza). I wonder who he would be back up for as being a FS would kind of suggest he belongs in the MLB spot but he really doesn't have the bulk.

I know Corto is a ST PLAYER (I read he made a great play this week but missed it)!

And a Buffalo boy. Great story...

Reminds me of that guy in that movie with Marky/Mark who was on Phily. Only I think Corto is better.

Great to have a fan on the team, IMO he can bring a bit of the history to his teammates. He is one of my fav new Bills.

For future reference, the NFL.com depth chart is NOT official, and I won't link them in my previews unless there's no better option. (There usually is; even Yahoo! seems to be more consistently accurate.) And as we noted last Sunday when Fred Jackson and Jason Peters disappeared, bb.com isn't infallible, either. I use the one from the weekly releases provided to the media, which also lists Mitchell and Corto at SLB, not WLB.

 

No matter what various Web sites say, Corto isn't a backup at S. The only way I could see him playing there is if several DBs go out of the same game with injuries.

Thanks, I've had some questions about that site but when all else fails I went there figuring since it's NFL.com they should be a decent source. Well I guess we'll see what he's got.
