This years cut(s)...

[tomdonahoe]

Every season we see a suprising cut during training camp...Who do you think it will be this year?

These are not really all that suprising though:
Damion Shelton (All FB's) -
I can't imagine the Bills keeping a FB on the roster since they will running the ball out of a lot of three wide sets not to mention McGahee and Henry will play at the same time. Plus Neufeld can play a H-back role at times.

Antonio Brown
Travis Brown - Just throwing him out there, he probably will survive.
Justin Bannan - I wouldn't cut him but if you look at the depth at DT it will be quite a chore for him to make the roster.

Hi Tom...welcome to the boards...

[The Natrix]

hmmm, I pretty sure teams always carry a FB. I don't see Willis being a lead blocker for Henry on 3rd and goal at the one yard line.

I think Travis Brown stays. I don't want two back ups that have no experiece/chemistry with the team.

Antonio Brown should be cut. He is rotted.

Yeah, Bannan could be the odd man out at DT.

Either Shelton or Lawton will be cut.

[Jan Reimers]

Ryan Denney will be replaced by a potted plant, and no one will know the difference.

Rian Lindell will be replaced by a real kicker.

Sape, Crowell, Haggan, A. Brown, Coleman, Simonton and Reese will all be looking over their shoulder for the Turk.

Goaline, they could use Peters, Neufeld or Campbell. Last season they used Neufeld at H-back many times.

Sape (maybe, he is undersized and is injury prone
Crowell ( why would we cut him after just one season, wasen't he our 3rd rounder?)
Haggen (Provides depth at linebaker and will make it on the PS at the least)
Brown (he is gone)
Coleman ( He has a good shot, the WR corps is crowded but we will have to see if he can fight it out)
Simonton (Gone!)
Reese ( I think he will stay, but if we cut him it wouldnt bother me one bit)

I loved Crowell at Virginia. Reminded me of Sam Cowart, a tackling machine. He was just way too small last year but I think he will have a special teams impact this year along with Haggan. I see both those guys making this squad.

Keep in mind our special teams lost our captains - Sammy Morris and DaShon Polk.

I can see us keeping 2 fb's hell we had Gash and Crosby last year and the year before we had Crosby and Centers. Shelton and Lawton are 2 different FB's Shelton is more of a blocker as Lawton is a receiver with decent speed.

The thing is roster spots. We know they will keep at least 3 TE's and maybe even four with Peters but they will probably practice squad him. Six or seven Wide outs, probably seven with kick returning duties for Smith. Then at DT we could see 7 tackles make the roster.

I don't think we are going to see alot of "Big" formations this season. I think Mularkey will always keep at least three receivers in the set. It could be Moulds, Evans and Reed in the slot or Moulds, Evans and McGahee coming out of the backfield in motion. I think they will try to run out of a spread offense more often then a power set. Mainly our TEs are not the greatest blockers and it will force teams to substitue a corner for a linebacker.

i am willing to bet anything that crowell doesnt get cut.

I think 3 TE's is a big set and I think we will see that a lot in 3rd and short and goalline situations.

Dorenbos may be gone with the arrival of another LS that plays more than one position.

Reese - Gone.
McKenzie - hasn't shown anything and never will again.
A. Brown - we may have some KRs that can also play WR and RB.

those last three are not even long shots to make the roster imho..

mckenzie did show something when he played.. but he is schobels back up and doesnt see much time.
