Good point.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Astro, why do you think they would cut David Nelson and Kirk Morrison? If you think they'd cut Nelson because they are high on Ruvell Martin, I guess I could see that, even though Nelson seemed to have the look of a clutch target, and a tall one, last season. But that same logic would seem to apply if they are high on Morrison as well, whom they also just signed. Unless there is something you know about his health? I view Nelson as critical to this season's success if they are running a lot of 4 and 5 WR formations. I have zero confidence in Easley, last night's game notwithstanding... His hands and his injury problems are cause for concern. I am not averse to seeing him make the team, but saying that both he and R. Martin make the team seems a stretch.
BillsObserver Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Those are some crazy cuts, Astro. But I appreciate the different take. I don't think there's a chance they'll keep Ruvell Martin over David Nelson. And I'd be quite surprised if they cut Kirk Morrison in favor of Eddins or Jefferson.

I like David Nelson a lot as a player, on the field ability, etc.. I've heard a character rumor I am still chasing down on Twitter. They love Ruvell Martin. Those are some crazy cuts, Astro. But I appreciate the different take. I don't think there's a chance they'll keep Ruvell Martin over David Nelson. And I'd be quite surprised if they cut Kirk Morrison in favor of Eddins or Jefferson. Kirk Morrison could happen over Jefferson, I'll give you that one.
purple haze Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Not bad Dr......a couple of things You dont have Donald Jones...which I think they are pretty high on I dont think they carry 3 tight ends....I think it is going to be Chandler and Martin I think they are definately going to pluck O linemen off the cuts In a passing league you think they will only keep four CB's with one of them being a rookie? I don't think so. Reggie Corner ain't going anywhere. If he does they will still have 5th corner. It's necessary in this day and age of spread formations. UNLESS they think Searcy can act as that extra corner.
Astrobot Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 I've searched and searched, but can't substantiate the rumor about David Nelson, so I'm adding Nelson. But whom do I cut?
BillsObserver Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I've searched and searched, but can't substantiate the rumor about David Nelson, so I'm adding Nelson. But whom do I cut? You have to cut Martin. They may love his size and all but he's had very little time here and he's been available for a while.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 QB (3): Fitz, Thigpen, Smith RB (3): Jackson, Spiller, White FB (1): McIntyre WR (6): Johnson, Jones, Easley, Nelson, Parrish, Roosevelt OL (9): Bell, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears, Rhinehart, Hairston, Howard, Hangartner TE (2): Chandler, Martin DL (7): Dareus, Williams, Edwards, Carrington, Troup, Johnson, Heard LB (9): Merriman, Barnett, Kelsay, Davis, Moats, Morrison, Batten, Coleman, Sheppard DB (10): McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Williams, Corner, Wilson, Scott, Searcy, Byrd P (1): Moorman K (1): Lindell LS (1): Sanborn
Astrobot Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 You have to cut Martin. They may love his size and all but he's had very little time here and he's been available for a while. No I mean I'm adding David Nelson, not Shawn Nelson. QB (3): Fitz, Thigpen, Smith RB (3): Jackson, Spiller, White FB (1): McIntyre WR (6): Johnson, Jones, Easley, Nelson, Parrish, Roosevelt OL (9): Bell, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears, Rhinehart, Hairston, Howard, Hangartner TE (2): Chandler, Martin DL (7): Dareus, Williams, Edwards, Carrington, Troup, Johnson, Heard LB (9): Merriman, Barnett, Kelsay, Davis, Moats, Morrison, Batten, Coleman, Sheppard DB (10): McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Williams, Corner, Wilson, Scott, Searcy, Byrd P (1): Moorman K (1): Lindell LS (1): Sanborn Very reasonable!
BillsObserver Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Here's my 53 man roster. Pretty predictable but I believe the Bills won't make many surprising cuts. My biggest cuts are Geoff Hangartner and Shawn Nelson. Of those 2, Hangman has a better chance of making the roster as a backup Center but his price tag holds him back. I have a hard time believing they will only keep 2 tight ends but I had to narrow the roster down and Caussin was one of the final cuts. I'll put him on the PS. Also, Kellen Heard was a tough decision. I still don't see him making it... 3 Quarterbacks:Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Thigpen, Brad Smith 3 Running Backs: Fred Jackson, C. J. Spiller, Johnny White 1 FB: Corey McIntyre FB 6 Wide Receivers: Stevie Johnson, Donald Jones, Roscoe Parrish, Naaman Roosevelt, David Nelson. Marcus Easley 2 Tight Ends: Scott Chandler, David Martin 10 Offensive Linemen: Demetrius Bell T, Chris Hairston T, Mansfield Wrotto T, Erik Pears T, Eric Wood C/G, Andy Levitre G, Chad Rinehart G, Kraig Urbik G, Cordaro Howard T, I'm reserving this spot for someone we pick up that gets cut on the final cut down day (September 3rd). If we don't go that route, it's going to be Ed Wang. 6 Defensive Linemen: Alex Carrington DE, Marcell Dareus DE, Dwan Edwards DE, Spencer Johnson DE, Kyle Williams NT, Torell Troup NT 9 Linebackers: Nick Barnett ILB, Andra Davis ILB, Kelvin Sheppard ILB, Kirk Morrison ILB, Shawne Merriman OLB, Danny Batten OLB, Arthur Moats OLB/DE, Antonio Coleman OLB, Chris Kelsay OLB 10 Defensive Backs: Jairus Byrd FS, Jon Corto FS, Bryan Scott SS, Da'Norris Searcy SS, George Wilson SS, Drayton Florence CB, Terrence McGee CB, Aaron Williams CB, Leodis McKelvin CB, Reggie Corner CB 3 Special Teams: Garrison Sanborn LS, Rian Lindell K, Brian Moorman P 8 Practice Squad Robert Eddins LB Mike Caussin TE Kamar Aiken WR Felton Huggins WR Michael Jasper NT Kellen Heard DT Chris White ILB Justin Rogers CB Edited August 28, 2011 by Fitzbeardy
NishP Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Man I really think they are gonna keep caussin, he's a decent TE plus hes awesome on SP teams, and I'm going with Corto making the team aswell. And no White (LB),I don't kno if they are comfortable sending a 4th rounder to the PS to get picked off by other teams. QB (3): Fitz, Thigpen, Smith RB (3): Jackson, Spiller, White FB (1): McIntyre WR (6): Johnson, Jones, Easley, Nelson, Parrish, Roosevelt OL (9): Bell, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears, Rhinehart, Hairston, Howard, Hangartner TE (2): Chandler, Martin DL (7): Dareus, Williams, Edwards, Carrington, Troup, Johnson, Heard LB (9): Merriman, Barnett, Kelsay, Davis, Moats, Morrison, Batten, Coleman, Sheppard DB (10): McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Williams, Corner, Wilson, Scott, Searcy, Byrd P (1): Moorman K (1): Lindell LS (1): Sanborn Edited August 28, 2011 by Nishous
34-78-83 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 David Nelson is arguably our 2nd best WR... If not he's 3rd. He keeps the sticks moving and has good hands and plays well in traffic. There is ZERO chance the Bills will even be considering cutting David Nelson.
justnzane Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I may be a bit biased, but I have a really hard time believing the Bills would expose Mike Jasper on the PS. His potential is greater than Kellen Heard, imo and would have a tough time believing that they would keep a 3rd NT unless it was Jasper.

mrags Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Let's take a shot at it and see what I come up with here. QB: 3 Fitz Thigpen Smith RB: 4 Jackson Spiller White Mcintyre WR: 6 Johnson Easley Nelson Parrish Jones Roosevelt TE: 2 Chandler Martin OL: 9 Bell Levitre Wood Ubrik Pears Hangartner Hairston Rhinehardt +1 from cuts/FA DL: 5 Dareus Williams Troupe Edwards Johnson OLB: 5 Merriman Carrington Batten Coleman Kelsey ILB: 5 Barnett Davis Morrison Moats Shephard CB: 4 Florance McKelvin Williams McGee FS: 2 Byrd Corto SS: 3 Wilson Searcy Scott LS: 1 Whoever K: 1 Lindell P: 1 Moorman That's 51, I think you'll see two of the following making the other 2 slots: Jasper, just scared they will lowe him somewhere else if they put him on the practice team Heard, better and more reliable than Jasper at this point but not as much of a ceiling Dotson, better than both Heard and Jasper, ateast right now, probably the safest if he's the one on the practice team Huggins, they love him on special teams and he's another weapon on O if the WRs get injured Hall, played well yesterday but so did Elzy and he was cut. Hmmm Aiken, out of nowhere he was slated to play along with Johnson but after Easleys game if he continues to look good Aiken should be worried Rodgers, another DB might be a must considering McGee can't stay healthy I think you might see Aiken and Rodgers for the added depth for those positions. I don't see another DT making the team because how well Johnson has played so far. You COULD see some suprise cuts to Kelsey, McGee because of thier sub par play and aging/aching/injured bodies. The practice team will look like this: Nesbitt White Jasper Huggins Jefferson Dotson Hicks Heard Enjoy your 2011 Buffalo Bills
Matt in KC Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 QB (3): Fitz, Thigpen, Smith RB (3): Jackson, Spiller, White FB (1): McIntyre WR (6): Johnson, Jones, Easley, Nelson, Parrish, Roosevelt OL (9): Bell, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears, Rhinehart, Hairston, Howard, Hangartner TE (2): Chandler, Martin DL (7): Dareus, Williams, Edwards, Carrington, Troup, Johnson, Heard LB (9): Merriman, Barnett, Kelsay, Davis, Moats, Morrison, Batten, Coleman, Sheppard DB (10): McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Williams, Corner, Wilson, Scott, Searcy, Byrd P (1): Moorman K (1): Lindell LS (1): Sanborn You say 10 DBs, but only list 9. Did you mean to cut Corto?
