New Depth Chart

Scott starting, Palmer and Harris second string, Chambers and McKinney at both guard spots, and Sco as the #3 receiver.

Hmm... If the season were to start today...

Re: New Depth Chart

If the season were to start today this wouldn't be the real depth chart. Rookies are almost always placed low on the depth chart until they prove something in camp, even if it's just a formality. They stay motivated i guess, and it's a respect thing to the vets.

Re: New Depth Chart

Also Not sure who Sco is.... but the #3 WR is Reed.

Re: New Depth Chart

I put little faith in June Depth Charts. Sco is Roscoe Parrish, I presume.

True, but it's interesting that Ashley Palmer, and undrafted rookie free agent is ahead of Alvin Bowen, a second year player, as a weak side backer.

Re: New Depth Chart

It's also interesting that Brandon Rodd is the only backup listed to Hangartner at center. Rodd is a second year player who was a rookie undrafted free agent a year ago after playing left tackle for the Arizona State Sun Devils. No Eric Wood. No Seth McKinney, both of whom would seem to have much more of a pedigree to back up at center than Rodd. McKinney I can understand since he's listed as a starter at right guard. I don't yet attach much significance to he depth chart, but it is curious.

No reason to look into anything, the depth chart now is all about reps.

McKinney/Wood will be the backup center when the season starts. The Bills will only keep 7-8 on the OL.

Re: New Depth Chart

I don't see the Bills keeping less than 8 offensive linemen.

Funny how depth charts can be used as a tool to "motivate" some guys.

But in this case I might think it has a lot to do with Bowen coming back off a major injury.

I thought we generally kept 9, but some of our guys (Chambers, Hangartner, Wood?) may be able to play a couple of positions, and Bell may be the swing guy at both tackle positions. Eight might do it in that case.

Re: New Depth Chart

Roscoe is listed as #3 WR not Reed. It goes #1 Evans #2 Owens and then #1s backup is the #3 which is Roscoe

The Bills only had 7 OL active last year.

They will keep more, but Im talking about the opening day depth chart, they will have only 7-8 dressed.

Re: New Depth Chart

That depth chart means little right now.

Re: New Depth Chart

I know it means nothing, hence why I put "If the season started today."

Re: New Depth Chart

That chart gives you a feel of who is performing right now. Lankster is battling his way onto the roster and surprisingly Ashlee an UDFA has found himself the main backup. The same with Nic Harris. These guys could be the future of the LBer corps. The just need to add a little more size to their frames and they could ball. Mitchell won't be with Buffalo for much longer and they could simply be developing these young guys. We will see what happens. Can't wait for pads to go on. Then the real depth chart will come up. Until then who really knows.
