[Dr. Lecter]

Since we have not a thread this week about it:

QB - Edwards, JP, Baker [just for DraftBoy!] (3 QBs, 3 total)
RB - Lynch, Jackson, Omon, Wright (4 RBs, 7 total)
FB - Barnes (1 FB, 8 total)
WR - Evans, Hardy, Reed, Parrish, Jenkins, Johnson (6 WRs, 14 total)
TE - Royal, Schouman, Fine (3 TEs, 17 total)
OL - Peters, Dockery, Fowler, Butler, Walker, Preston, Whittle, Chambers, Bell (9 OL, 26 total)

DL - Schobel, Kelsay, Stroud, Williams, McCargo, Spence Johnson, Denney, Ellis (8 DL, 34 total)
LB - Crowell, Poz, Mitchell, Ellison, DiGrigorio, Spragan (6 LBs, 40 total)
DB - McGee, Greer, Whitner, Simpson, Wilson, Scott, Wendling, Youboty, Corner, McKelvin (10 DBs - a little heavy, 50 total)


ST - Moorman, Lindell, Neil (3 ST, 53 total)

PS is a crap shoot. Maybe something like this:

Cox, Gaddis, Banks, Felton, McCray, A WR (Mayle? Jones?), Buggs, ?

Re: Current 53 man roster prediction

Nope.

He was on the last two (along with Will James) that I have getting cut.

Either could make it ahead of Wright or Steve Johnson or maybe Preston.

My Bills Projected 53 Man Roster

QB (3): Edwards, Losman, Hamden
RB (4): Lynch, Jackson, Omon, Wright
FB (1): Barnes
WR (5): Evans, Reed, Parrish, Hardy, Jenkins
TE (3): Royal, Schouman, Fine,
OL (9): Peters, Dockery, Fowler, Butler, Walker, Chambers, Preston, Whittle, Bell

DL (8): Schobel, Kelsay, Stroud, Williams, McCargo, S. Johnson, Ellis, Denney
LB (6): Poz, Crowell, Mitchell, Ellison, DiGiorgio, Spragen
CB (6): McGee, Greer, James, McKelvin, Youboty, Corner
S (5): Simpson, Whitner, Wilson, Scott, Wendling

ST (3): Lindell, Moorman, Neil

NOTES:

I think Steve Johnson and Matt Baker would be locks for the practice squad, as well as Christain Gaidis. I was really high on Johnson initially and even thought if he played great this preseason Josh Reed's spot could be in trouble, but now I don't see that happening.

* One person who could be in trouble is Dwayne Wright. If the Bills keep two fullbacks, they may keep J. Evans on the roster and Wright could lose the 3rd spot to Omon. If Wright shows he can go through a game without fumbling (he has run well besides) perhaps Omon goes on the PS.

* I think Preston could end up being a "surprise" cut and get beaten out by Gadis.

* If the Bills kept 6 Wr, that would likely mean they keep only 5 corners. Steve Johnson and Felton Huggins would battle for that 6th spot, while either Reggie Corner or Youboty would be the odd man out if the Bills drop a corner. Of course, Corner could go to the practice squad.

* The race for the 6th LB spot could be interesting. Spragen is the vet, but Costanza is useful on special teams.

* OF course, I have Jason Peters on the roster.

LMAO did we post these threads at the EXACT same time??
I gotta look and see what I got now compared to yours.

Re: Current 53 man roster prediction

I don't see James getting cut. In which case, Youboty would be the odd man out. I think Youboty has been given so much playing time during the pre-season for two reasons.

1) They wanted to see if he can play. The results have been mixed. He seems to be somewhat of a play maker, but also gives up too many plays.

2) They are showcasing him for a trade. Not sure what they could get, but maybe a 5th or 6th. Would be better than flat out cutting him.

Re: My Bills Projected 53 Man Roster

We are really close Pat.

I have Johnson over Anderson, Baker over Hamden and Denney (Oversight or intentional?) over James.

No, Denney was DEFINITELY an oversight on my end now.. I have to edit that. . Out goes Anderson.

[patmoran2006]

Re: My Bills Projected 53 Man Roster

Ya we're close.

I HOPE Baker beats out Hamden and I'm wrong. I don't like Jibran.

The only other difference is you have 6 WR and 10 DB.. and I have 5 WR and 11 DBs.

I got Steve Johnson on the practice squad instead of a 6th WR, and I got Will James making the team and going with 11 DBs

[Dr. Lecter]

Re: My Bills Projected 53 Man Roster

Then we agree except for one "real" spot (Johnson vs. James) and I say that I could see that happening.

3rd QB is a crapshoot and I can see either staying or going.

Re: My Bills Projected 53 Man Roster

I'm not sold on Spragen making the team. Maybe they keep Costanza for his special teams play, although if I had a gun to my head and had to pick one now it'd probably be Spraggen.

I also think we may be in for one surprise on the OL. I could see a guy like Preston or Whittle getting cut of in favor of a young guy like Gaidis, FElton or McKaskill.

I think that if the Bills keep only 6 linebackers then you have to go with Spragan because of his experience, he can play all 3 linebacker positions, and he is a decent special teams guy too.

Preston would certainly be a suprise cut considering that he is the backup center, guard, long-snapper, and they even had him play tackle the other night. If the team keeps Bell then I doubt if they keep another relatively untested guy like Gaddis or McCaskill (Felton is out of the question). These guys can be stowed on the practice squad with no ill-effects.

Its 8 for the practice squad, right?
