Bills release 5 players

[GunnerBill]

Mike Bell played well the other night. He was obviously a long way down the depth chart here but he figures to be a PS candidate somewhere. Didn't hurt himself with what he put on film against Detroit.

All pretty marginal moves no shockers.

Mike Bell was laying hits. I could see him being on someone's special teams units.

Look at him keeping Bobby Hart in the fold just to give our team the best chance to get Fromm or Webb hurt so we don't have to outright release them and have to worry about them getting picked up by another team. Just another way to keep an extra player or 2 around.

Shrewd move

Bobby Hart didn't play well Friday but until the coaching staff trusts Brown and Doyle in pass protection, he isn't going anywhere. I believe we'll sign a better veteran OT after the next round of cuts. Maybe we can swap a wr or de for a decent backup. I feel like Doyle will get a mysterious injury after the 3rd preseason game and get stashed on IR.

 

Agree on the IR, and think there may be more than one.  Heard Hodgins hurt his knee a bit.  I'll bet right now he's confused why the training staff is telling him, we want to test your reflexes a bit on your knee, and they keep hitting it with a 5 pound sledge.

 

Agree too could see a spare D lineman and/or WR get traded for better line help. Or would they even package Doyle and say DL for better backup tackle.  Maybe other team wants a cheaper 9th lineman on the roster.

 

I see the three O lineman cut were three that dressed Friday night, but didn't play one snap.

Well...he thought he was going to hang with Martin Castillo, Miami Vice badass lieutenant.

If that’s what you want to call them 

[Matt_In_NH]

SO they still have a Hart?

With his injury history, I’m glad the Bills didn’t consider him. If I remember correctly, he bashed the organization on his way out of Buffalo

that was a long time ago, some on the TBD board we’re even born then. After Friday, I was disappointed the current Bills did not take a chance with him.

Beane should send out copies of 'The Wizard of Oz' to other GMs.  By the final cuts, he'll have gotten a third round pick for Hart.

Lol. Yes Beane is playing chess but so is everyone else no? Where is the evidence other GMs are playing checkers?

Although these guys probably 95% likely knew they were roster long shots, this day still has to suck for them

I'm sure there could be a joke in there given your screen name, but I'll leave it there.😉

 

Yes, I agree it sucks. It's tough to achieve a dream like so many of these players have. It takes a lot of work and dedication and I'll give all of these guys props for making it this far. Hopefully some of them can find a spot and continue to live their dream. Best of luck to all.

Had a friend in college named Pat Hunt that we used to call Patrick Michael... no idea what his actual middle name was.

A football team over here got caught out this weekend paying tribute to Mike Oxsmall.

 

Phenomenal.

Speaking of Mike, any word on his 3 brothers, York, Pork and Mork?

Have you heard of the Houston Texans? Or perhaps the N Y Jets?

Yes, let’s remember at this time of increasingly frenetic Bills fandom (long- and short-term) that every one of these guys that were cut today would be 1,000% welcome in any gathering, any discussion, any almost anything in all of our lives.  “Extreme Bills Mafia Kudos” to all of them, whatever their names are….?!

[GreggTX]

I don't recognize any of those names besides Benenoch who I thought made a couple nice plays vs Detroit. Maybe he'll get a shot elsewhere.
