Steely Dan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Sal Maiorana from the D&C thinks they could go on the practise squad.Are the bills really that talented that we can afford to not play a 3rd round pick? I think he's crazy, both those guys will play this year imo. Is there something I'm missing here? He's normally a good writer but he must have been hit in the head with a brick if he thinks Corner and Ellis go to the practice squad! Don't they have to clear waivers first? There's no way they clear waivers. Exactly #1 No way either one clears waivers. Even if they did , they would be signed as free agents. They would not last on a practice squad. Exactly #2 LOL! No way Corner and Ellis don't make the 53-man roster. What is Sal smoking? Exactly #3 Meh, Crhis Browns prediction looks solid though: http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3932 allthough he keeps 6 WR over 5 CB. He has it as a close call between Corner and James. I don't think it's a close call. The Bills have McGee, Greer and Youboty with experience they don't have to have another experienced guy. With Will James you have a guy that you know has tapped out his potential vs. a guy who's looked great in camp and is a rookie with huge upside! i like this better http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/billsnfl/story/426645.html Corner, a fourth-round pick, has looked better than McKelvin at times and will stick as well. Exactly. Just out of curiosity, when was the last time that an NFL team cut a rookie 3rd round pick? It has to be an extreme case for a team to do that. Maurice Clarrett is the only one I can think of. There's your extreme case. He should have been a UFA instead of a draft pick. The guy is a head case!

bananathumb Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Meh, Crhis Browns prediction looks solid though: http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3932 allthough he keeps 6 WR over 5 CB. I can't agree with his TE guesses. Why would you keep a spot on the 53-man roster for a rookie who has just has his thumb operated on? And I'd keep Anderson over Massaquoi, but they will probably pick up a free agent to replace both of them. Putting Fine on IR or the PS would allow them to keep Wright or James.

bills44 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Why not just put Fine on the PUP? Gives him 6 weeks to heal, and lets the Bills keep one of Anderson/Massaquoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Why not just put Fine on the PUP? Gives him 6 weeks to heal, and lets the Bills keep one of Anderson/Massaquoi Can't put him on the PUP. It's either active roster, IR, or (no way) cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I can't agree with his TE guesses. Why would you keep a spot on the 53-man roster for a rookie who has just has his thumb operated on? And I'd keep Anderson over Massaquoi, but they will probably pick up a free agent to replace both of them. Putting Fine on IR or the PS would allow them to keep Wright or James. That's the way I'm leaning, as well. (Not so much Wright, but keeping that spot open for somebody.) And to expand on VOR's post about Fine, he's correct -- PUP is not an option once the player has participated in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I feel the best chance for Spragan and/or James to stay on the roster would be to get their name changed to Anthony Thomas. Not only will jauron keep them, they'll probably start in week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It would actually be sort of interesting to see them try that. Even if they cleared waivers, it would make sense for other teams to extend claims to someone like Corner or Ellis just to phuk with Jauron and the Bills and force them to make more roster moves or lose their draft selections with zero compensation.

apuszczalowski Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If you try to put corner and ellis on the PS, kiss them goodbye. They'll both be claimed on waivers before you can blink. I think Omon makes the team over Wright. One thing Wright has been good at is putting the ball on the turf, and that cant make jauron happy. After thursdays game, someone asked Jauron about it and he said that they like the way he runs, but its definitly something he needs to work on, and that there have been a bunch of good RB's in this league that have gotten over having the rep of being fumble prone. It just takes a little bit of patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
