</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>DIGIORGIO TO START?: Bills backup MLB John DiGiorgio was lining up with the starting linebacking unit on the weak side in practice today. Mario Haggan filled the weak side role after Coy Wire was injured last week, but it appears there might be a change. DiGiorgio is one of the faster linebackers on the roster and that is an asset on the weak side. Stay close to Buffalobills.com for confirmation of this possible change in the lineup. --- </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

They need at least 1 LB no matter what.

THey only have 5 healthy bodies and that includes Stamer.

SIgn ****ing Griesen already! I know he's in Buffalo right now.

Looks like Digs will start at WLB which I think might put our top 3 LBs on the field. Digs is fast, good in coverage and can make plays in the backfield. I like this and it might actually prove to be better than what we started the season with.

[Tatonka]

that is really good news actually. i like the move alot and i like digi better than haggan. haggan is a great great special teamer, but he is an average lb at best from what i could see last week.

Papa Digorgio, I put a dollar in and won a car.........

[Lexwhat]

Im just curious ... why wont we put Crowell at WLB and put DiGorgio at SLB?

Shouldnt the WLB be the playmaker? IMO, Crowell played well filling in for Spikes 2 years ago...

I could be confused, maybe the Cover 2 is different in this case?

[THATHURMANATOR]

I like this much more than Haggan!

[justasportsfan]

yes! Called for it too :D

[RedEyE]

Watching Digs play he is better suited for the weak side. Digs likes to roam a little too much and this will give him the opportunity to move those legs.

I can see him making INT's at that position.

I'm no huge fan of DiG but with Wire and Ellison out, I agree that starting him puts the 3 best LB's on the field. The coaches seemed high on him in camp so hopefully he's not a workout warrior and it will translate on the field.

I'm glad they are moving DiGiorgio to WLB. He might actually do a good job there. :up:

You really need to calm down about Griesen.

[justasportsfan]

Crowell has to step up to the expectations we have of him this season.

[bigbub2352]

Digorigio to the WLB is a very smart move in my opinion, he is fast and has a nose for the ball, put ur best on the feild is what i always say, Ellison better be careful Dig could take his job

Crowell was moved to SLB because Ellison is more suited for WLB, he wouldnt be able to handle lining up over a TE while Crowell can do both.

I called up OBD and told them it would be a good move.

:hi5:

[evol4276]

the DiGorgio deal wuld make sense to me since he was expected to start MLB. so this way, while hes not lights out, we still have someone who had the chance to start to start. plus (tho i know the skills needed for the diff lb spots) i wuld think the outside LBpos wuld ask for less from him than say the MLB

[jack1022]

Where is Lynch???

[Mahdi]

Where is Lynch???
Mama said he's grounded

[TigerJ]

yes! Called for it too :D

Me too.

[madness]

Let's see who called it first. 1-2-3... paste your post!

[AndreReed83]

Jauron said Lynch either had some sort of flu or he got sick from something he ate. "He is sick to his stomach."

Don't remember if he stated anything about his chances to play on Sunday.

Also stated Josh Reed has a leg contusion and they are "optimistic" about him playing on Sunday.

[madness]

At least Lynch waits until after the game.

Mama said he's grounded



LOL....And I'm loving this move!....:dance:....





GO BILLS!!!!!!
