NT Harvey chance for practice squad

By Chris Brown - Posted August 30, 2010 – 3:01 pm
Of the three players released by the Bills today to get the roster to the required 75, I think Lonnie Harvey has the best chance to land on the practice squad.
Harvey was on the squad for the last half of the 2009 season. Facing so many 3-4 defenses this season, the Bills offense could benefit from a scout team nose tackle like Harvey in the practice setting each week. Buffalo’s first four opponents this season employ a 3-4 front.
Harvey would also represent good depth at a position that could suddenly be shorthanded should Kyle Williams or Torell Troup succumb to a long term injury.
The practice squad is expected to be announced on Sunday Sept. 5th, the day after final roster cuts are made.

Calloway must have been been really bad to be gone in the first set of cuts.

Re: Bills release 3

What the heck? I thought Calloway was going to be depth and hopefully be developed.

So now he can go to the PS, unless he is scooped up, right?

I liked Calloway at Iowa, he was a good player. He must of really stunk it up.

Re: Bills release 3

Calloway's release is disappointing. I have a feeling this isn't a move where he's among the first set of roster cuts because they're "trying to sneak him through to the PS." My gut (and the camp reports) tells me he just wasn't that good.

Rhea was a camp body, and Harvey's time was coming. Might as well be sooner than later.

Re: Bills release 3

I was rooting for Harvey, but knew deep down he was an extreme longshot.

Would like to see he and Calloway signed to the PS.

Re: Bills release 3

Calloway was a seventh-round draft pick out of Iowa this past April, and becomes the first drafted rookie to be released by GM Buddy Nix. He had been a mainstay as the third-team right tackle during training camp, outshone by several linemen (undrafted rookie Cordaro Howard among them). There's a chance Buffalo might try to sneak him onto their practice squad.

Re: Bills release 3

Calloway went from a pre-combine "dominant" right tackle to fodder.

Damn.

Re: Bills release 3

There's a Lonnie Harvey every year: a reclamation project that doesn't work out. Teyo Johnson comes to mind. There was a big DT that we tried out too who didn't work, maybe two years ago. I forgot his name though.

Re: Bills release 3

Early cuts do wind up on the PS. Don't write off Calloway and Harvey just yet.

Re: Bills release 3

I'm not surprised...Calloway sucked big time. If the coaches saw opportunity for improvement, I'm fine with the PS. If not, I'm fine with that also...next year we'll likely be getting either our franchise QB or our franchise LT in the 1st rd (depending on what Trent shows under real coaches this year).

If it's not Trent... then it's a 1st round QB.

If it's not Meredith or Bell... Then it's a 1st round LT.

Let the dynamic duo do their ****!
