One of the plusses of running out of the "wildcat" is that you don't have a QB (who is basically useless after handing off) on the field. So in essence you have an extra blocker. I always have felt that you have to at least show a willingness to throw out of that formation so that teams don't just put 8 or 9 in the box. If you telegraph run by never throwing from that formation, you really aren't gaining much because that extra blocker has to deal with an extra DB who doesn't have to worry about the pass.

McGee is on the IR using the new exception rule. Easley is cut but has PS eligibility so if he's still around tomorrow he's back. I kept Moore and cut Gilbert (keeping Edwards). Gilbert is on PS if he's eligible & available.

I'm going through my own round of cuts today and this is my last one. Note that this will be a "temporary" cut, as I am keeping Thigpen for at least a game or two until Tarvaris Jackson is able to run the team in the event of an emergency. That being said I think this cut has to be Carder or McKillop. And I'm not sure McKillop can go on the PS. I don't want to waive Carder. Morrison has looked like he's lost a step or 2 during this preseason but after Barnett I have no other veteran linebacker. OK - I talked myself into cutting McKillop. Thoughts?

Interesting look at a thankless job by Tim Graham.

Bump. LewPort & Marcellosaurus - Are you still in? If so, do you have any preference for course/time? My son is now not coming but I might have recruited 2 more Bills fans that I golf with here in Rochester to come along.

I dunno - he nailed that kickoff return for a TD call.

Alrighty then.

to show the Republican Convention. The conclusion of the game can be seen on Saturday at 3PM on CW 14. So I didn't even get to see Tarvaris Jackson.

Nostalgia

If you build it, they will com... oh wait. ew.

He's in a no-win situation. If he plays lights-out, it just proves he's completely inconsistent. If he doesn't, he's consistent, but at sucking. So he's gone either way. I hope he plays lights-out just so that the coaching staff can get accurate looks at the rest of the team that actually have a legitimate shot at making the roster.

I just drove by that rest stop the other day...

Great - I just installed the update to 11.4.something

Can't talk now... busy...

Wonder if he can go on PUP like Caussin did to give more time for his knee to heal up and not count against the roster til week 6. If not, I'm sad to agree that he's not in the final 53.

WTF am I gonna do with my Vince Young jersey now???

Every practice I saw, Hagen looked very good in, even with the first team. He also looked good in the game against us when he was with the Raiders, and again for us when Stevie was benched against the pats*. At 6'2", 210 he's a big strong target.

Oh I've already got him making the team.

I've got Stevie, Donald Jones, David Nelson, TJ Graham, and Derek Hagan making the team. Kamar Aiken, Derek Session, and David Clowney as early cuts. Don't know what to call Brad Smith. For that final WR spot I think these 3 are the ones with a shot, and Easley's shot is pretty outside. Personally, I much prefer Roosevelt as a WR. He gets open and catches the ball. Ruvell Martin is a liability on the offense, and I wonder why Fitz EVER targets him. However, I believe they look at Martin as more of a special teams guy. I gotta admit, he's not bad as a gunner. I still like the *idea* of Easley's tangibles, but with injuries the past 2 years and an inconsistent pre-season thus far I'm not sure he's done enough to make the squad. Overall I hope Roosevelt hangs on but if I were to bet I'd say they keep Martin. I was hopeful when Roosevelt was fielding punts in preseason game 1, but then I saw TJ Graham make people miss in game 2 and he's gotta be the guy there.

gets bitten by a cobra, so he chases it down and bites it back

Apparently we're not the first to bring this up

Ben Davidson might have it beat

belinda

Apparently it was something they also did together but he was away this time.

100% agree with this.
