Jauronimo Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Bills go dumpster diving and find a 6th rounder out of Notre Dame, just cut by the Boys. Cheap! Edited September 6, 2011 by Jauronimo
GOBILLS78 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Struggled in camp, per this. Apparently cut to make room for old friend Dockery.
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 St Thomas Aquinas HS product. Played at Notre Dame, seemed to struggle a bit but started as a freshman there. Big kid, that's for sure.
CBD Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Was a top 5 star recruit going into ND, started 4 years for Irish.

CBD Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 So who gets cut to make room for Young? I think they only had 52 on the roster. St Thomas Aquinas HS product. Played at Notre Dame, seemed to struggle a bit but started as a freshman there. Big kid, that's for sure. For clarification, it's the St Thomas Aquinas in Ft Lauderdale FL, not Rochester NY.
Cash Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I think they only had 52 on the roster. Nope, definitely 53: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster.html
CBD Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Nope, definitely 53: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster.html Good call, thought I read it somewhere on this board, I assume we'll be hearing who they cut to make room shortly.
jwolf02 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Sounds interesting, but likely does nothing to help the situation right now. Keep praying for no injuries up front...
irishfan357 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Great HS player, top rated OL coming out, but never lived up to the recruiting hype. Saw every one of his college games at ND. He was a good, but far from great player. If I were to choose one word to describe him it would be SOFT.
shibuya Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Well, so much for the Jasper project. what th ehell does this have to do with Jasper.. He's on the PS for a whole year before he will ever sniff the Bills lineup. He needs to lose about 40 more lbs' to be a OT
swnybillsfan Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 i could see a lot of roster turnover throughout the season. if buddy feels he can add someone who could concievably be better than someone else, they will make a move. like last year, i can envision a revolving door with o-linemen coming and going in an effort to find youngsters who may have some intriguing qualities.
Cash Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Sounds interesting, but likely does nothing to help the situation right now. Keep praying for no injuries up front... Meh, not sure how big a difference it makes. The line got really banged up last year, but how much did it really hurt us? What's the difference between Cordaro Howard, Mansfield Wrotto, and Cornell Green? After all 3 of those guys got hurt last year, we turned to Erik Pears, who is now an entrenched starter. Same with Urbik at RG and Wood at C - those players only started there due to injury last year, and are now unquestioned starters at those spots. I'm sure if Young gets into a game anytime soon, there'll be a dropoff from whomever he replaces. At least until Young learns the playbook. But fundamentally, I don't see our crappy backups as being that much worse than our crappy starters. We'll see, I guess.
Rockinon Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Offensive linemen very rarely impress coming out of college and most don't for at least a couple of years. He is young and could possibly develop into a good pickup. He did stick with Dallas when they cut down to the 53 man roster so he can't be that bad. We'll see. I am glad that the OL is adding some depth.
