The Official Final 53 thread

[Tsaikotic]

I can't imagine what it must be like to be one of those guys dreading a knock on the door from the "turk". To get as far as they have, most would have had to have dedicated themselves to the sport at least since High School if not since little league. It takes singlemindedness and tremendous focus to get to to an NFL camp. Imagine what it must be like to have it all come to an end with a knock on the door, a career over and done with in your 20's. Harsh.

 

 

for a lot of these kids, that's probably true, but for some it just means another door will open....

4 Tight ends is a lot of Tight ends. at least we will have depth!

I had a tough time with the status of Lankster and Omon. Those guys may still make the opening season 53 man roster, depending on Hardy and Lynch and what the Bills plan to do with their injury/suspension.

 

Have at it!!

 

My guess is that you have at least 50 of the 53 correct. If Lombardi were the coach of this team, I'd give them a shot at winning 8 games. Jauron/Shoenert/Fewell don't know how to win. Lynch. T.O. and Evans look good on paper, but I doubt these coaches can turn that into anything more than mediocre.

Have at it!!

 

PS - (TE) Stupar, (C ) Rodd, (WR) Hawthorne, (C ) Gaddis, (TE) DeVree, (DE) Mace, (LB) Buggs, (CB) Harris

 

I see Buggs on the PS and not the 53 man roster and Wendling making the roster for his ST play. JMO

 

________________________________________________________________________

 

Cuts

In addition to Chambers and Rhodes, Buffalo waived 18 other players. They are listed below.

 

RB Rhodes - Wrong.

OL Chambers - Wrong.

QB Matt Baker

LB Alvin Bowen - Wrong.

DE Copeland Bryan - Wrong.

TE Tyson DeVree

DE Ataefiok Etukeren

G Christian Gaddis

RB Bruce Hall

DB Cary Harris

WR C.J. Hawthorne

OT Nick Hennessey

WR Felton Huggins - Wrong. I did get the Hardy to PUP list right though.

DT Derrick Jones

DT Corey Mace

LB Ryan Manalac

TE Jonathan Stupar

OL Brandon Rodd, who suffered a sprained knee was waived/injured getting the roster to the required 53. If he can be put on the PS and is then I'd get that one right too.

 

I was also right about Omon and McIntyre making the 53.

 

Out of 18 there were 5 wrong, but I'm gonna give myself +1 for the Hardy Move and -1 for the Youboty move. So my scoring has me 5 wrong out of 18.

 

73% right.

ok lets try mine from this post...ok I had 4 on my roster that got cut and I cut 3 that didn't get cut...if you look at my post tho I accidentally left one of my CB's off, but I'll still count that as a miss... so all in all I guess I'll call it 8 misses.

The actual PS squad;

 

LB Alvin Bowen,

RB Bruce Hall,

DB Cary Harris,

WR C.J. Hawthorne,

50 out of 53 ain't bad.
