I'm all over **** today, and since this is my favorite board (for the next 9 days, lol) I'm staying right here.

1:09: Tim Graham says that a source tells him the mood over at OBD is "edgy" and some surprise cuts could be coming today..

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

Good, I hope that means losers like Kelsay and Ellison are gone. I'd be surprised if something like that happens.

You heard this here first-- I think Langston Walker is in big trouble.

The injury to Bell may have been the only thing that's saved his job.

If the Bills feel Demetrius Bell is ready to take over at LT, I think Walker is getting cut.. No way they are paying Walker to be a multi million dollar backup.

I disagree with this. I think he is solid at RT. Levitre needs to sit out a year and learn. Bell-Wood-Hang-Butler-Walker

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

I dont think Bell is ready to start at LT, so I dont think the OL is going to change at all from last week vs NE

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

If Walker gets cut the Oline will be worse off... Would Bell even be ready week 1?

If walker doens't get cut before then, his contract this year is guaranteed right?

So IF they were to cut walker now, and Bell isn't ready week 1... who plays LT? Are they willing to sacrifice like that to save a few mill? Sadly, I'm betting they are.

At the end of the day, I think Bell's injury may have saved Walker. I cant see how they can start Bell in week one after missing all that time.

However, I do NOT think Butler is going anywhere other than RT. .They are not going to flip flop him around like that again. Wood and Levitre are the starting guards, and McKinney and Chambers are backups.

Only way Walker gets cut is if they have targeted another player from another team to come in and play tackle on this team.

I agree with that

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

1:22: The decision to cut Rhodes was made early last night. And from what I have learned, the reason for cutting him had nothing to do with his play on the field.

It's more because he was not adjusting to accepting a third running back role once Lynch is back, and the team feared it would become a distraction and disrupt chemistry. And once Rhodes learned he wouldn't be outseating Jackson for the backup role his attitude had soured.

Oh, I can understand that...wouldn't want to disrupt the amazing losing chemistry we have here under Dickey!

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

1:27: Just an obvious thought here. If the Bills keep 10 DB's, which they almost always do; then John Wendling, Ashton Youboty or Drayton Florence is definitely getting waived. My pick: Wendling, who struggled badly in the preseason.

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

I thought maybe a few of the missed blitz pickups were the reason RHodes was let go.

ANy chance that if no one else nabs him we resign him after the start of the season so his contract isn't guaranteed?

Re: My "Cut Day Thread"

1:28: The Bills decision to only start the season with 3 running backs means they'll not keep either 4 TE instead of 3, or 7 LB instead of 6.

This could be good news for Stupar or Corto.

I really think Ashlee Palmer has made this team over Corto.
