Moorman Cut - and other cuts

[more cowbell]

It's not officially "out there" yet...but stay tuned.


:rockout:

[Mahdi]

Wow they actually realized that he sucks? They couldn't figure that out last season when he came back after being cut and sucked at that time also?

No wonder they can't properly evaluate QBs, they can't even evaluate a punter.

[bdutton]

Good guy and a great punter but his skill really declined.

[Forward_Lateral]

Is this official, or spam?

[Dr. Lecter]

Evan Rodriquez too. He tweeted about it.

Yep. "Buffalo it's been fun, but that all she wrote!"

Dominique Jones - TE - Cut

[more cowbell]

Is this official, or spam?

I'm not going to be the dude boasting about my "source(s)" but it will come out later today.

[DraftBoy]

Same names are all over Twitter right now.

[Ingtar33]

Brian was a great punter... but it looks like age caught up to him. class guy, great professional. It was fun watching him play all those years... I still have two of his plays tattoo'ed on my brain from this last 15y of football hell.

[bleve]

Moorman has more career TD passes than all of our backup QB's combined.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

No real surprises here. Fairwell again to the best player this team has had in the past 15 years of soul crushing futility.

I don't know if they are going to be updating the cuts on this link...Tampa the only team so far to make a fair amount of cuts.

[Skooby]

Has anyone else even punted in the preseason ?

I don't think so.

It will. I posted the same link earlier today on the NFL Zone section.

BTW - there's a bit of craftiness about making cuts before the deadline on Saturday. With luck, one who you want for your ps gets passed by, by the waiver pickers ahead of you.

[Skooby]

Palmer was cut per Adam Schefter.

[Night Train]

Jordon Palmer cut

[Mr. Pink]

:rofl:

Palmer lasted long.

Looks like we'll be bringing in someone else's cut QB by Monday.

[Forward_Lateral]

Thad will be back. Guarantizzled

[stuckincincy]

:rofl:

It's Manuel and Tuel.

[ServoBillieves]

Wow... Jamon Meridith cut in TB, wasn't he a starter there at the beginning of preseason?

Also surprised with Pat Angerer being cut by the Falcons.

[Dr. Lecter]

Cuts so far:

LB Boyd DT Cohen TE Jones CB McIlwain CB Miller P Moorman QB Palmer FB Rodriguez WR Roosevelt C Wheeler.

On reserved/injured list: Mario Butler, Bobby Felder and Tony Moeak

[justasportsfan]

they cut Cohen?

[tampabay25690]

Surprised they cut Cohen. 1 of the few bright spots of the preseason....

Concussion protocol and a history of injury?

[Dr. Lecter]

they cut Cohen?
Yes.

He played well.

That is not to be tolerated in Buffalo!

He had a nice show. But a journeyman bouncing around six or so teams since '08.

[DraftBoy]

Bills are bringing in former UGA punter Drew Butler for a workout.

Did he just change the dates on last years letter??? LOL

[Turf]

Really surprised by the Cohen cut.

[OpIv37]

So, they cut Cohen even after being forced to cut Branch and Dareus being a traffic ticket away from getting suspended? This team has it's head up its ass.

[Thurmal]

You know how when you hear someone *****ing about their team and saying they could do a better job than the coach and GM? 99% of the time they sound like morons, but, in the case of Bills fans, it's probably true.

We're talking about a front office that figured out that both Fitzpatrick and Manuel were terrible a full year after guys who sit on the coach and watch the games while drinking.

[Mr. Pink]

It's Manuel and Tuel.

I highly doubt that this team will only carry 2 QBs especially when neither have shown to be very durable, let alone good.

[Mace]

I'm sure Whaley can get someone for our 2nd rounder next year.

[Scumbag College]

Christian Ponder is on the trading block. Maybe TJ Graham for Ponder. Lord knows Ponder would fit right in with EJ and Tool.

[Mr. Pink]

Christian Ponder is on the trading block. Maybe TJ Graham for Ponder. Lord knows Ponder would fit right in with EJ and Tool.

Can't take someone who could potentially take the job from EJ.

You're thinking too big with that idea.

[Mace]

I'm thinking they comb the wire for a punting kickoff specialist backup QB defensive tackle who can play guard in a pinch.

[black N yellow]

So the Bills are the smartest guy in the room by allegedly not using any real offensive plays in the preseason. Day after the final preseason game their starting QB blows, and they are scouring the waiver wire for a veteran. They then also cut their punter without having one who punted once in the preseason? You truly can't make this stuff up.

[Scumbag College]

I think Ponder might be the one QB that has started in the league last year and has looked worse than EJ has this preseason. Maybe I'm giving OBD too much credit, but with letting Palmer go and only leaving EJ and Tuel, they have to have some sort of plan. Probably a lousy cockamamie plan, but still a plan.

[Jaybird]

Trade for ponder! Between him ej and Winston with out first pick next year, that we dont. That would give us the past 3 fsu quaterbacks.....

[YardRat]

A little surprised by the Cohen cut.

Disappointed Dombrowski didn't get a chance to punt in a game.

[Buffalogic]

We have no first next year

[justasportsfan]

Ha! Bad teams have cut a lot of players . They are waiting for the good teams' garbage.

[Mace]

Surprised about Cohen myself, not letting Dombrowski punt makes less sense with Moorman evidently on the thinner side of ice, and now I read they're trying to trade Urbik.

I felt bad for Naaman Roosevelt, he could have gotten some reps, any reps these past games also. Signing, playing, and cutting Palmer in what, 4 days, makes no sense to me. Kind of torks me off they were so sure of their QB's before camp and are back to desperately seeking one again at the start of regular.

[Bunion]

Watch the Bears sign Palmer again just so they can ask him what he told Jim Schwartz.

[Mace]

Watch the Bears sign Palmer again just so they can ask him what he told Jim Schwartz.

Then cut him again. The Bills then resign him to ask what he told them he told Jim Schwartz.

And then they cut Cohen, the best defensive player in preseason. smh

I cringed and threw up in my mouth a little when I heard EJ Manuel's name being drafted.

Once I read Lecter being very happy about the pick, it confirmed the doom.

do you remember when i flipped my lid over the drafting of Lee Evans and not trading up for Ben Rothlesburger? That still drives me nuts. Its not often i see a guy in college and think "all pro" but Big Ben had "All Pro" written all over him in college. Instead we went Lee Evans and JP Losman. That draft still gets under my skin

Well, that draft still gets under my skin too, but mostly because of what they did with Losman.

They drafted him as a mobile QB because Bledsoe was a statue. I was real excited, picturing rollouts, run and gun, etc...we had Sam Wyche as QB coach, which I thought was excellent. Wyche started out saying his meetings with Losman were exciting, the kid had such enthusiasm you wanted to shove the tables aside and start playing some football right there.

Then every preseason report started revolving around how they were working intently and with difficulty to break Losman of his footwork to make him stay in the pocket with a shorter drop and faster release. They were trying to make him into Bledsoe, the guy they drafted a mobile QB to replace. So they drafted a mobile QB to replace an immobile one, and the first order of training was to make him immobile.

Oh it made me gnash my teeth. I didn't figure it was Wyche's idea. But it made me look so much closer at what they were doing with QB's. Like Kelly was adept at calling his own plays so did they try to "break him" of audibles ?

Then they drafted Edwards and I was beside myself. You replaced an immobile QB with a mobile QB you insisted become less mobile, then replaced him with someone fragile and less mobile and tried making him more mobile ? I settled in for the long patient hiring/firing cycle after that. Getting close again.

Grab a project QB, and don't treat him like one. If they'd have gotten Luck they'd have tried making him RG3, if they got RG3, they'd have tried making him Andy Dalton.

[black N yellow]

Seattle cut Terrell Pryor. Maybe he's the next underwhelming option.

[Mr. Pink]

Seattle cut Terrell Pryor. Maybe he's the next underwhelming option.

He played well in the preseason closing game.

Can't sign him though, he may challenge for the starting job.

[jamze132]

Should we even be shocked that we cut Cohen? The guy wreaked havoc all preseason...

[Dr. Lecter]

Kenny Ladler and Ike Igbinosun

[Dr. Lecter]

There is no way he challenges for any starting job

[Dr. Lecter]

TJ Graham

You vastly overrate EJ Manuel.

If the Bills had drafted by taking the majority vote of this board they wouldn't be on a 14 year playoff drought.

[stuckincincy]

100% true.

[swiper]

Reading that with today's cuts, no undrafted free agent made the team, but all the drafted ones did.

[Mr. Pink]

You vastly overrate anybody not on the Bills roster.

:rofl:

EJ Manuel wouldn't have even made this Bills team if he wasn't a first round pick and he'd have a difficult time even being a backup on the majority of NFL teams.

Oddly enough 3 other teams had rookie QBs last year who played as well/if not better than EJ and all 3 brought in veteran QBs. 2 of them brought in veterans to actually be new starters.

Yet the Bills sit on their hands and just say oh, we don't care how bad you suck, it's your job. We won't even bring in anything to challenge you through camp, ota's or preseason.

[Dr. Lecter]

If you are going to say he would not have made this team, it is impossible to have any kind of real discussion.

That is using hyperbole to the point of idiocy. And you are not an idiot.

I also never said that they should not have brought in a veteran so you are making a point that is meaningless in regards to this.

but really - saying he would not have made the team kills any credibility you have on him. He might not pan out, but saying he should not have made the team? Really?

But continue on with your bad ass contrarian self

[YardRat]

The really interesting thing to watch regarding the Moorman cut is if and how it affects Carpenter.
