Re: LB Marcus Buggs added to active roster

Marcus Buggs showed alot of potential early - which is why he was kept on the PS. Experience will hopefully make him that much better!

I wonder who they will sign to the PS in his place?

Re: LB Marcus Buggs added to active roster

I might consider bringing Jon Banks back. He's worked with the group here before and could adapt quicker than another might. He had great athleticism, but was kind of slow and also needed to bulk up a bit...he does have experience playing all 3 positions though...

Buggs over Haggan
By Chris Brown - Posted October 22nd, 2008
I’m going to start by saying that Marcus Buggs was one of my favorite undrafted free agent pickups after the draft in terms of the group that Buffalo assembled. I liked his aggressiveness and hitting ability and believe he can be an asset on special teams.

That being said, I’m surprised that Mario Haggan was not signed to replace John DiGiorgio on the roster. Buffalo’s coverage teams improved this past week against San Diego, but losing DiGiorgio hurts. It’s another veteran special teamer that will be replaced by a young player.

Haggan, who worked out for the Bills a few weeks ago, was available and ready to go and could slide seamlessly into all four of the spots manned by DiGiorgio on cover and punt and kickoff teams having played under Bobby April the past four years. More importantly he’d add a veteran presence and experience that’s still trying to be gained by a lot of the new special teamers.

In addition, during his time with the Bills he had snaps at MLB and could be a consideration there to fill the void left by DiGiorgio as well. Buggs is an outside linebacker at this level.

Since they chose not to go with Haggan, it’s likely that Kawika Mitchell would serve as the backup MLB, a position he played with the Chiefs. We’ll find out for sure after coach Jauron holds his afternoon press conference at about 2:30pm.

i think Chris Brown brings up a good point, because Buggs is way to small to contribute on D in case of injury

ST yes but we need to seriously address the depth here at least adding someone to the PS with some size at the LB position

I agree i liked him better than Buggs in the preseason 4.5 speed and decent size, at least give him a look for the PS , buggs is smaller than London was and that is small

Haggan cannot be put in the PS...he's played on our roster for a few years already. Haggan is okay except that he always seems to commit a stupid penalty on STs...They may have chosen Buggs over him b'cse he is likely to play more STs than defense...and if another LB were to go down (God forbid), we can still get Haggan also since he's not signed with anyone...
