Tsaikotic Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I can't imagine what it must be like to be one of those guys dreading a knock on the door from the "turk". To get as far as they have, most would have had to have dedicated themselves to the sport at least since High School if not since little league. It takes singlemindedness and tremendous focus to get to to an NFL camp. Imagine what it must be like to have it all come to an end with a knock on the door, a career over and done with in your 20's. Harsh. for a lot of these kids, that's probably true, but for some it just means another door will open....
DrFishfinder Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 4 Tight ends is a lot of Tight ends. at least we will have depth! Can any of 'em pick up the blitz?

Those guys may still make the opening season 53 man roster, depending on Hardy and Lynch and what the Bills plan to do with their injury/suspension. Have at it!! My guess is that you have at least 50 of the 53 correct. If Lombardi were the coach of this team, I'd give them a shot at winning 8 games. Jauron/Shoenert/Fewell don't know how to win. Lynch. T.O. and Evans look good on paper, but I doubt these coaches can turn that into anything more than mediocre.
Steely Dan Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Ok, how'd everyone do? Here's my list vs. reality. QB1. Edwards 2. Fitzpatrick 3. Hamdan RB/FB 4. Lynch 5. Jackson 6. Rhodes 7. (McIntyre and Omon until Lynch gets back and then one goes. I'm guessing Omon stays) WR 8. Evans 9. Owens 10. Reed 11. Parrish 12. Johnson 13. (Hardy PUP - Huggins till he gets back) TE 14. Schouman 15. Fine 16. Nelson OT. 17. Walker 18. Butler 19. Bell 20.Scott OG 21. Levitre 22. Wood 23. McKinney 24. Chambers C 25. Hangartner DE 26. Schobel 27. Kelsay 28. Maybin 29. Bryan 30. Ellis - a slight chance he'll be cut. 31. Denney DT 32. Stroud 33. Williams 34. Johnson 35. McCargo OLB 36. Mitchell 37. Ellison 38. Harris 39. Bowen MLB 40. Posluszney 41. Buggs CB 42. McGee 43. McKelvin 44. Florence 45. Corner 46. Youboty Lankster S 47. Scott 48. Whitner 49. Byrd 50. Wilson (Wendling) Special Teams 51. Moorman 52. Lindell 53. Sanborn I had a tough time with the status of Lankster and Omon. Those guys may still make the opening season 53 man roster, depending on Hardy and Lynch and what the Bills plan to do with their injury/suspension. Have at it!! PS - (TE) Stupar, (C ) Rodd, (WR) Hawthorne, (C ) Gaddis, (TE) DeVree, (DE) Mace, (LB) Buggs, (CB) Harris I see Buggs on the PS and not the 53 man roster and Wendling making the roster for his ST play. JMO ________________________________________________________________________ Cuts In addition to Chambers and Rhodes, Buffalo waived 18 other players. They are listed below. RB Rhodes - Wrong. OL Chambers - Wrong. QB Matt Baker LB Alvin Bowen - Wrong. DE Copeland Bryan - Wrong. TE Tyson DeVree DE Ataefiok Etukeren G Christian Gaddis RB Bruce Hall DB Cary Harris WR C.J. Hawthorne OT Nick Hennessey WR Felton Huggins - Wrong. I did get the Hardy to PUP list right though. DT Derrick Jones DT Corey Mace LB Ryan Manalac TE Jonathan Stupar OL Brandon Rodd, who suffered a sprained knee was waived/injured getting the roster to the required 53. If he can be put on the PS and is then I'd get that one right too. I was also right about Omon and McIntyre making the 53. Out of 18 there were 5 wrong, but I'm gonna give myself +1 for the Hardy Move and -1 for the Youboty move. So my scoring has me 5 wrong out of 18. 73% right.
Tsaikotic Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 QB(3) - Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Gibran HamdanRB(4) - Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson, Dominic Rhodes, Xavier Omon TE(3) - Derek Schouman, Derek Fine, Shawn Nelson WR(6) - Lee Evans, Terrell Owens, Josh Reed, Steve Johnson, Roscoe Parrish, Justin Jenkins OG(3) - Eric Wood, Adam Levitre, Kirk Cambers, (Seth McKinney) OT(3) - Demetrius Bell, Brad Butler, Langston Walker, (Kirk Chambers), (Adam Levitre) OC(2) - Geoff Hangartner, Seth McKinney, (Eric Wood) Offense = 24 DE(5) - Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, Aaron Maybin, Copeland Bryan, Chris Ellis, (Spencer Johnson) DT(4) - Marcus Stroud, Kyle Williams, John McCargo, Spencer Johnson OLB(5) - Kawika Mitchell, Nic Harris, Keith Ellison, Alvin Bowen, Jon Corto, (Marcus Buggs) MLB(2) - Paul Pozluszny, Marcus Buggs CB(5) - Terrence McGee, Leodis McKelvin, Reggie Corner, , Ellis Lankster SS/FS(5) - Donte Whitner, Bryan Scott, Jairus Byrd, George Wilson, John Wendling, (Nic Harris) Defense = 26 K/PK(1) - Rian Lindell P(1) - Brian Moorman LS(1) - Garrison Sanborn ST = 3 Reserve/PUP - WR James Hardy, LB John DiGiorgio ok lets try mine from this post...ok I had 4 on my roster that got cut and I cut 3 that didn't get cut...if you look at my post tho I accidentally left one of my CB's off, but I'll still count that as a miss... so all in all I guess I'll call it 8 misses.
Steely Dan Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 The actual PS squad; LB Alvin Bowen, RB Bruce Hall, DB Cary Harris, WR C.J. Hawthorne, OL Nick Hennessey, WR Felton Huggins, DT Corey Mace TE Jonathan Stupar. My guesses; PS - (TE) Stupar, (C ) Rodd, (WR) Hawthorne, (C ) Gaddis, (TE) DeVree, (DE) Mace, (LB) Buggs, (CB) Harris 50%
