frogger Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 having watched the game twice now, (I had time on my hand) I'd have to say if there was a three way race between them, the order would be Harris, bowen and then ellison, I'd even put Palmer over Ellison. I know that it is not fair to judge due to the talent in the game at the time. afterall Ellison looked like a slow, out of place safety against starters and Bowen and Harris looked like active linebackers vs 2nd and third teamers. I am very interested in how this will turn out, I think after our lack of pressure from our DEs, the other OLB is the biggest concern. I am cheering for Harris to get it, regardless we could keep 7 LBs active on the 53, Ellison, Poz, Mitchell, Bowen, thomas, harris and Buggs. Is it too late to look into signing Brooks? to add to this topic, I can't see keeping a FB, even if he is a great special teamer. Buffalo needs 4 TEs
/dev/null Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I'm kind of hoping for Compliance Linebacker to make the team
H2o Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 We are going to keep too many DB's to have 7 LB's on our team. I say we keep Puz, Mitchell, Harris, Thomas, Palmer, and Ellison. I think the starters will be Puz, Mitchell, and Harris.

H2o Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 So Bowen out? Can we PS him? I think so and that's what I expect would happen (should've clarified), but I think it will come down to him and Ellison. I would rather us keep Bowen on the 53 man roster, but Ellison has the dreaded "experience" factor on his side. I say cut the guy, but I don't think they will. I also wouldn't be surprised if they cut Thomas and keep Bowen on active roster. The guy I don't want on the field by any means is Ellison.

I watched Ellison very closely and only saw him run 2 bad plays (1 that had no impact on the play and one that a couple players faulted on). What specifically did you see him do so wrong?
seadog Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Corto will make the roster also, good special teams player. Buggs will be cut, possibly Thomas and Palmer.
