Conch Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 How many here did not have Trent making the team?
Bob in STL Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Here's some for me: Cornell Green Kawika Mitchell Joique Bell - Then they will try to practice squad him. If they cut Green that makes Meredith the RT. Our backups will be Wang and Chambers. Please God no. Not again.
Nanker Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Fear the paper cut. Nobody expects the paper cut! It's the worst.
sharper802 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Posted August 29, 2010 gonna go out on a limb: Maybin. Give you an A for effort but Maybin isn't going anywhere How many here did not have Trent making the team? As much as I think Trent's lack of production was DJ and AVP, I thought it was 50/50 he would be the QB pre-draft. After not taking a serious QB contender in the draft or trading for Troy Smith(I really thought this was going to happen) my guess was 90/10 he was going to be the starter.
Nanker Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Mitchell. Hardy. McCargo. The last two are nearly certain. Mitchell would be a mild surprise.
nero47 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Corner - he gets caught looking at the QB instead of staying with the receiver. Good for T2 not good for 3-4 one on one.
Saint Doug Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I don't get all this "cut Hardy" business. Would the same people be saying "cut Moulds"? Moulds was not doing much at this time of his 2nd year either (and also went on to do nothing during his 2nd regular season too). Sure, Moulds was a 1st rounder, but many people thought Hardy could be a 1st rounder too. My cuts surprise: Steve Johnson McCargo
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Good call - I agree. I was going to originally put Green but with Wang getting hurt I think they will keep him. If Meredith had shown something I think he might have gotten the start at RT or if Wood was 100% maybe they take a chance on less experience at RT. Mitchell is a possibility too. I just think Kelsay brings so little else to the team. If he had been a decent pass rusher like Schobel one could see him moving back and forth from OLB/DE if the defense switches back and forth in the game. Now if that happens I would bet it would be Ellis or McCargo getting those reps at DE. Well I'm not sure I understand your connection with Wang and Green. Both play different positions and therefor wouldn't be relevant to each other in the cutting process. Wood would never play RT, if anything he will eventually move to Center. I've got to disagree with you (a little) on Kelsay. He's certainly a tough player to defend, but he does play the run, not good, but very good. That's is the sole reason he is on the field, when he is. I actually think a bigger and easier case can be made about Schobel's ineptness. But everything else you have said I agree with. Go Bills.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 James Hardy could be cut and replaced by David Nelson 2nd that
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Mitchell. Hardy. McCargo. I'm not saying I disagree with the Hardy selection, as he is a popular choice for obvious reasons. But if we give up on him, he will get signed in a day or two. I just don't want to regret not being sure about him, as I think anyone will admit, we're not sure whether he can play or not. 900 Baby! I'm movin' on up, to the deluxe apartment in the sky.

Orton's Arm Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 There's a chance Fitzpatrick won't make the final roster cut. Brohm has looked reasonably solid so far in preseason--at least by the Bills' standards. Fitzpatrick makes a lot of money; and I think the Bills would like to avoid paying that salary if possible. If Fitzpatrick doesn't offer significantly more than Brohm as a #2, and if Levi Brown seems like a good developmental prospect as a #3, it's possible Fitzpatrick could be on his way out the door. This is not another "Ralph is cheap" post. However, it's a fact that due to changes in revenue sharing and the salary cap, it's harder for small market teams to stay competitive financially. That means that if you have a high salary that isn't associated with a corresponding increase in the on-field product, you're best served by eliminating it. Granted, larger market teams should do the same, but their larger revenue bases mean they don't get hurt as badly by wasting a little money here and there.
DC Grid Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 moorman How dare you even joke about that. Moorman accounts for 90% of the season ticket sales.
dpberr Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Alan Faneca Adam Pacman Jones Charlie Whitehurst Willis McGahee Mike Vrabel Lito Sheppard Deion Branch As for the Bills, the big surprise to the media would be Cornell Green, but no real surprise to anybody who's watched the preseason games.

bowery4 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I don't think there are many surprise cuts. Unless you are hands down 1st team, a part of the 3 headed monster or a very good back up, your job is on the line. If they don't fit in one of those categories they can and might go.
