"Bubble" Players Who Helped/Hurt themselves last night

[more cowbell]

Helped themselves:

Sam Aiken (nice special teams play, had a few good catches)
Jabari Greer (I don't care if it was Tyler Palko, the guy had 2 interceptions)
Mario Haggan (Looked like our best back up linebacker sadly)
Fred Jackson (Ran hard whenever he was in the game)

Hurt Themselves:

Riley Swanson (Got beat badly by Meachem for the TD)
Jason Webster (Looked lost against Colston)
Shaud Williams (No idea how this guy is still on the team)
Tim Anderson (The guy flat out sucks)
Peerless Price (1st team O was limited, but once again was invisible)
Trevor Hooper (Emarassed himself when he got bulldozed)
Eric Powell (Looked awful against the Saints 1st team)
Jim Leonhard (Was out of position almost every play)
Jon DiGiorgio (He is very fast to the ball, but missed a lot of tackles)

Thoughts?

Pretty much agree with everything. I would add that all of our DT's sucked pretty bad. The only guy to get decent penetration was William, and he was never close to making a sack at all, he was good stopping the run. Triplett was getting blown off the ball consistantly. McGee looked horrid, was nowhere near the ball most of the time. Really scary CB situation so far.

There was one play when Henderson was on about a zone with 5 yard diameter of cushion. All three LB's were in the middle of the field covering NO ONE and biting way too hard on the fake handoff to Bush, and I have no idea where McGee was, but Ko Simpson was the only one to recognize it and even he was about 7 yards away. Just very poor pass coverage all around.

Tim Anderson (The guy flat out sucks)

I don't think God himself could help Pancake Anderson.

I wouldnt say McGee sucked. And Cowbell I wouldnt say Hooper sucked just because he took a hard hit.

he also had that sweet open field tackle on Bush.

But Simpson was out of position a few times. Nothing earth shattering, but he was making those mistakes last year and I was hoping the experience would help him overcome it. Apparently not.

I actually thought Hargrove played good. But he is definetaly in danger of being cut now with the substance abuse added on to the other "incident" he was involved in last week.

I agree but Ko is a lock to make the team obviously since he is the starting FS. I was talking more or less about the guys who are in question of making the final roster/ps

I agree with these assessments, but I disagree on the characterization of some of these guys as bubble players. Greer, DiGiorgio and Price will definitely make the team- it's just a matter of how far down the depth chart they'll be.

Re: "Bubble" Players Who Helped/Hurt themselves last night

I agree with all except Powell, who always shows me something..

At the very least, Powell didn't do any worse than Kelsay going up against the same OL.

I don't know if Kelsay sucks or if he just wasn't trying because it's pre season, but he was very disappointing yesterday.

I thought DiGorgio looked good at times. Say what you want about the guy but he is apparently good enough to the Bills staff that they aren't rushing Posluszny right off the bat. You noticed how they eased Poz into the game last night. Granted, Posluszny will most likely be starting in next weeks game but that doesn't mean that DiGorgio isn't good. He looked SO, SO at times but I think this just pays tribute to his work ethic and hard play. There is no doubt, behind Ellison, Posluszny and Crowell, he is our 4th best LB. I think he will provide decent depth and he will help push Posluszny along. Afterall, it's not delivery, it's DiGorgio.

I don't think it was intentional, but it was helmet to helmet. That's why the Saints receiver was woozy.
