Training Camp Battles


bluenews

Recommended Posts

There should be some very good training camp battles for roster spots and starting lineup. Offensive position battles along offensive line, running back and tight end should be competitive. Safety, nickel, linebacker and defensive end could be even more fierce. The Bills have lots of options.......I just hope they know how to use them!!

Linebacker's wide open. We're so thin there. Poz is safe. Mitchell is essentially safe. After that........

 

Harris from Oklahoma runs and hits like an escaped convict. My guess is that he's our starting OLB.

I just wanted to take the time to say I love your lineup!! Why? Because it's the first that I've seen that is exactly, 100%, like mine. Super!

I don't think McKinney makes the team now.

 

Justin Jenkins is gonna be in trouble unless they move Parrish or put Hardy on P-U-P.

 

Either Ko Simpson or George Wilson will be gone too, it seems.

Agreed on all those, except McKinnie. I see them keeping 8 offensive linemen: LT Walker, LG Wood, C Hangy, RG Butler, RT Chambers, and backups Levitre, Bell and McKinnie.

 

Time to say goodbye to Jenkins though, if Hardy is going to be active. Can't see them keeping 7 recievers.

I'm not sure I agree with you. Since the end of 2008, we've lost Duke Preston, Melvin Fowler, Jason Whittle, and Derrick Dockery in the interior offensive line. That's four players. We've replaced them with Hangartner, Wood, Levitre, and McKinney. That's four players. McKinney is pretty important in that he is a veteran who can play three positions. With two rookies guaranteed of making the team I think it's doubtful that they'll cut a veteran, especially if it leaves them one short of last year's roster number.

anyone know if any of our OLB's can play ILB?...wondering if someone like Pat Thomas could double up and kick pizza man to the curb.

 

what about Corto and Costanzo?..any thoughts...just seems as tho I'm tearing apart Bobby April's ST's to make a 53 man roster

Good points and you're probably right. What's McKinney's contract status? I can't imagine he costs them much.

 

My thinking is somewhat based on the fact that they have two guys that can play center now. I think Preston was only on the team the last couple of years because they were nervous about Fowler.

 

They've really improved their versatility up front (and McKinney is part of that for sure). I'm pretty comfortable with Chambers almost anywhere on the line. Walker can play either tackle. Butler can play guard or tackle, as can Levitre. Obviously Hangartner and Wood can play anywhere on the interior. That's not really a luxury they had last year, because Duke Preston was horrible anywhere he played. But he could snap the ball, so he was kept around.

 

I just think that the versatility and flexibility up front might prompt them to devote one less roster spot to the line.

Nice work. I think Simpson is done and Omon is not eligible for the PS.
