Playing time for Detroit game

[Romes]

The starters will play half way into the 2nd quarter.

The starting OL will be that which expects to start the season. Jennings, Brown, Teague, Sullivan, Williams.

Henry will only play the first series, then Bryson will play the rest of the time with the starters, Morris, and Huntley will battle for the 3rd RB spot for the rest of the game.

Moore will only play to make long snaps on punts because of his hip pointer.

Eric Moulds will not play to rest his hamstring.

Price and Ahantou will get more playing time to try and get them into game shape.

Wire will get more plays and rotate with Jenkins taking snaps with the 1st unit.

The article goes into more depth but that is my summary of the article. I like to see that Wire is getting looks to be starter he needs the game time experience to help him with the split second decisions. I am glad to see the starting OL finally together for a game. Henry has obviously won the starting RB job if they only plan to run him for one series. The starting DL of Ahantou, Price, Williams and Schoeble will play together aswell. I expect the Bills to win this game, eventhough its only preseason I will be dissapointed if they don't. My prediction Bills 24 Lions 17.

nice to see wire getting those snaps, this kid could really be something in a year or too.

I've still got a positive Outlook on things. If we can win 3 or 4 of our first 8 games. I think we can definately make a run at a playoff spot.

how long is jenkins signed for? just how soon can we expect wire to get the job? he impresses me.

[Bufftp]

We like wire. Could be a phenom in a year or two.

jenkins was signed for 2 years.....wire replaces him within 4 games, tops

[venis2k1]

i couldnt agree more, wire was a steal for a 3rd round pick

[venis2k1]

even though he was projected as a Late Sixth Round.

Wire has been doing an outstanding job in the pre-season, a gem of a player. I think he gets a secure starting position.

He was projected late as a linebacker, because thats what he played at Stanford. He's small for an NFL linebacker, hence the lower status. He is learning a brand new position at the highest possible level, but he has all the physical and mental attributes to excel. Not to mention, he runs at full speed all the time, always around the ball. You cant teach that.. you just gotta want it.

And he wants it!!!

Just rough up Detroit ALLLLLL you want...That way we roll them easy in week 1...

[JefftheBillsfan]

honestly i hadn't of even heard of him before the bills drafted him...and i knew most of the players through 6 rounds for every team...

[casdhf]

If he's got safety size, and LB speed...I don't see how he'll be that good

Iam with all of you on Wire, told one of my buddies the other day that I am looking for a Wire uniform. His response was "who is Wire?" My answer, just wait the kid will soon be making a name for himself!!
