/dev/null Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Who is our starting safety? They going to start the Rookie? 759896[/snapback] yeah. and later in the season our other rookie safety will have earned the other starting job
merlin Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I didn't see Martin Nance's name mentioned ... did I miss something earlier? Had he already been cut? I hope they can keep him on the PS as well. Here's what I'm hoping for on the PS: Lenohard Wilson Nance Gates Geisinger or Jerman Cielak Baker or King Sape (assuming all these guys are still eligible?)
true_blue_bill Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 The cuts are easy to explain: Special Teams Second, this team is barely going to compete on offense and defense, nomatter who they kept or cut today. 759901[/snapback] Oh please!
Shamrock Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Hopefully Baker, Gates, Geisinger, King, Leonard, and Wilson clear waivers so we can keep them on the Practice Squad 759885[/snapback] Leonard's not elligible for PS. DiGiorgio's Detroit game must've really impressed. He flew under the radar, from training camp reports here at least. Burns is on the Injured list, not cut.

Here's what I'm hoping for on the PS: Lenohard Wilson Nance Gates Geisinger or Jerman Cielak Baker or King Sape (assuming all these guys are still eligible?) 759907[/snapback] Nance got cut earlier...but I agree, I'd like to see us give him a PS spot.
Dan Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Who is our starting safety? They going to start the Rookie? 759896[/snapback] An unproven rookie that will make mistakes or a vet that's proven to continually make mistakes? I'll take a street walk-on over Coy Burnt Wire.
firstngoal Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 The Official Cuts Here are the cuts, just posted by the Bills: Rashad Baker Eric Bassey Joe Burns Brad Cieslak Liam Ezekiel Lionel Gates Justin Geisinger Jon Goldsberry Jason Hall Wendell Hunter Fred Jackson Jason Jefferson Greg Jerman Eric King Jim Leonhard Ryan Neill Joe Odom Alan Ricard Lauvale Sape Jonathan Smith Jason Thomas George Wilson 759863[/snapback] They cut Gates and kept Thomas because he is one of "Jauron's Boys" Shaud Williams deserved to make the team...all he does is keep the chains moving when he's in there. Rashad Baker and Eric King should have made the roster...Coy Wire and Leonard should have been cut.
cåblelady Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Leonard 759885[/snapback] Not PS-eligible.
HurlyBurly51 Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Milwaukee Thomas over Eric King, wow.. 759895[/snapback] The more I think about that one, I'm not sure I understand or like it. Guy goes from starting nickel to gone? Just thinking ahead to what it might look like next year if you subtract Nate - him and Greer might've been nice depth behind McGee and Youboty. Guess we'll be drafting CB again.
buffaloboyinATL Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I'll be amazed if Gates makes it to our PS. No way he clears waivers. I'm bummed about him, Ezekial and Baker.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Rashad Baker and Eric King should have made the roster...Coy Wire and Leonard should have been cut. 759913[/snapback] Loenard WAS cut.

Just thinking ahead to what it might look like next year if you subtract Nate - him and Greer might've been nice depth behind McGee and Youboty. Guess we'll be drafting CB again. 759915[/snapback] Well, playing devil's advocate here...Thomas HAS started in the NFL before and has lots of experience as the nickel and dime back. Not like he's an UDFA or anything, guy has been in the NFL for 6 years.
Dawgg Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Personally Shaud Williams showed that he can play last year as the 3rd down back. I think the acquisition of Anthony Thomas was simply not necessary, as he and Gates were fairly similar in style and Gates is younger. I sure hope A-Train made the team because he earned it and NOT because of the bias associated with his history with Jauron. I am surprised by a couple of them. Shaud over Gates doesn't make a lot of sense to me, except that Gates and Thomas are pretty similar players. Shaud adds very little on ST because he would the #3 PR and probably the #3 KR and doesn't stand out at all on the coverage teams. 759903[/snapback]

I sure hope A-Train made the team because he earned it and NOT because of the bias associated with his history with Jauron. 759921[/snapback] He was mostly terrible as a third down back. He couldn't block, and the only thing he did well was look good gaining 10 yards on 3rd and 16.
cåblelady Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Did you know that Leonard was cut? 759922[/snapback] No...but, Leonhard was.
Trip Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 He has no value on special teams, either. (referring to Shaud Williams)
