Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Trent Edwards. He played awful last night.
ROCCEO Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I think the top candidates for "surprise" cut are : Royal, Keith Ellison, Kirk Chambers (only because he has practiced with the first team, to me he doesn't look like an NFL player worthy of being out there) and maybe Reed (even though I do think he brings something to the table).
Matt in KC Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I'm hoping Reed. The day Reed gets cut is the day it means this team is finally moveing forward talent wise. I have nothing against Reed, I just think he adds zero value to this football team. So, I guess I'll say Reed. Reed proven himself worthy of a (backup) WR role last year. I think he's a good choice for suprise cut, but not because of his talent, IMO. If he gets cut, it's because he couldn't really return after his back surgery. My other choices for suprise cut: D. Wright K. Chambers Darien Barnes (going instead w no FB) Youboty (unlike what I've read, I was still unimpressed w him last night) Will James Donnie Spragan
Turn Down For Watkins Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 RoscoeI hope not, and by the way didn't the Bills give Roscoe an extension last offseason or something?
Matt in KC Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Barring unusual circumstance (i.e. injury or arrest) I would be completely shocked if Roscoe was cut. I also would be shocked if he wasn't signed by another team within two days.
jarthur31 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Roscoe Wow. IMO, Reed doesn't belong on an NFL roster. For a possession receiver, he sorely lacks in productivity.
jarthur31 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 There's no way in hell Parrish gets cut. He's easily the second most explosive WR on this team. The fact that Josh Reed is even on this team speaks bad things about our mediocre WR corps. If JJ Hardy can win the outside WR job opposite Lee Evans and they can get Parrish in the slot where he belongs, AND LEAVE HIM THERE, the Bills will be on their way to improving. Parrish is one of the few threats we actually have to make big plays. Josh Reed is a possession WR who gets you practically nothing in terms of any kind of threat anywhere on the field. I'm praying our WR's shape up like this before midseason..... #1 Evans #2 Hardy Slot Parrish And then, take your pick. GMTA. Roscoe is explosive on teams and I don't he gets cut for that reason alone.
robkmil Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I think Will James-- Maybe Dwayne Wright. Omon will take his spot.
MikeSpeed Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Wow. IMO, Reed doesn't belong on an NFL roster. For a possession receiver, he sorely lacks in productivity. Productivity is something all of our WR's have been lacking! McCargo is my surprise cut. Why you ask? Just want to fuffle some feathers on TBD. He's been less than average his whole career so far and didn't show anything last night either. But truthfully I don't think we will see surprise cut this year. I don't think the coaches have the kahonnies. (SP?)

He's been less than average his whole career so far and didn't show anything last night either. But truthfully I don't think we will see surprise cut this year. I don't think the coaches have the kahonnies. (SP?) 2 years = whole career? he made big strides last year; our DL isnt exactly our strong suit - and that includes Kyle Williams. I also cant believe this Roscoe talk either....he is the only player on our team that can make a big play out of nothing with the ball in his hands. He will never be a # 1 receiver, but man, cutting him is just ridiculous. i went to the game last night; and granted we didnt look the best, but it was easy to see and feel that it def had the 'feel' of the 1st preseason game. neither team was too excited/jumping around on the sidelines. give the 'we suck, trent sucks' talk a rest. 2 series for our 1st teamers (both missing starters) doesnt exactly constitute much to me - and certaintly not enough to base an entire 17 week season on. Fred Jackson is the real deal. Justin Jenkins showed some good quickness, and Wendling is a big hitter. My Cut - Wright, Cox.
Swift Sylvan Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 JP Losman George Wilson Ryan Denney All of those would surprise me.
Saint Doug Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Huh??? So what did he do yesterday to make you think this?? It's not exactly what he did or didn't do. It's that we have so many young, promising CBs on this team, including what may be the emergence of Youboty. We already know what we have in James and he may even be past his prime. It may even come down to the team picking between Youboty and James.
disco Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Who is someone that unexpectedly won't make the team this season. Mine is Robert Royal with Josh Reed as a darkhorse pick. There's absolutely no way the Bills are cutting Reed or Parrish. Why exactly would we be cutting them? We aren't exactly loaded at WR. Sam Aiken is already gone, and he was really the perennial camp stud to threaten to shake the starters up. Peerless Price is gone too. Behind our top 4, we've got absolutely nothing. If anything, Robert Royal seems like a possibility if that would truly be a surprise. Bills WRs: Lee Evans (Lock) Josh Reed (Lock) Roscoe Parrish (Lock) James Hardy (Lock) Here's what's behind them: Justin Jenkins (Practice squad fodder last year, I'll say he makes the cut, otherwise to the PS) Scott Mayle (destined for the PS) Felton Huggins (Would be lucky to make the cut, but is the second largest WR we've got) Steve Johnson (7th rounder, destined to get cut) Jason Jones (Div II stud, undrafted, possibly to the PS) C.J. Hawthorne (Helped make Colt Brennan a stud in Hawaii, but another undrafted FA, will not make squad) Scott Mayle (More camp fodder, was on PS in 2007, will not make squad) I mean. Yikes. Parrish and Reed aren't going anywhere.
JStranger76 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 It'll be Dwayne Wright, although it really isn't much of a surprise.
Max997 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Roscoe will not be cut, you dont cut one of the best returners in the game people need to relax

Parrish and Reed aren't going anywhere. i dont think he gets cut at all....they way they talk about him I wouldnt be surprised if Reed gets cuts to make room for Johnson...but I think we go with Evans Hardy Parrish Reed Johnson Jenkins(great ST gunner) I think CB James get cut, Maybe Royal depending on how they like Anderson..If they dont like Anderson then he goes Preston goes byebye also
ans4e64 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Fowler And who takes his place? Christian Gaddis? Jason Whittle? Come on, Fowler gets ragged on a lot around here, but if you don't have anyone behind the guy, you can't cut him!
BuffaloRebound Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 And who takes his place? Christian Gaddis? Jason Whittle? Come on, Fowler gets ragged on a lot around here, but if you don't have anyone behind the guy, you can't cut him! That's why it would be a surprise. Would Gaddis, Whittle, or Preston be much of a drop-off? I can't answer that question, but I do know Fowler is in the last year of his deal and the Bills don't seem eager to sign him to an extension and those other 3 make less money. Plus the only other starter/near-starter who has any chance of being cut would be Ko Simpson.
