All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Can Someone Please Explain How Pucillo Made the team?
Can Someone Please Explain How Pucillo Made the team?
How on earth is this guy on the roster? Granted, I have not watched any preseason games, but COME ON. I have read and heard nothing but good things about Sobieski, but he gets the axe. Pucillo was demoted after the first preseason game. (He should have been demoted LAST YEAR, but...GRRRRRR)
I need a voice of reason to please explain to me why this moron is still on the roster.
There's truth to the saying Buffalo is a drinking town with a football problem, where a passionate fan base believes it has more answers than Ken Jennings on "Jeopardy."

Is he cheap?
Is TD sweet on him?
Does he have friends in the FBI?
Can he juggle REALLY well?
Realistically, he is better than Sobieski and the other guards who have been cut, at least in the coaching staff's view. I will go with their evaluation, but it doesn't say much for the talent level of our guards.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

True. And, it appears that he is a "workout warrior" who looks good in the weight room and knows his stuff in the classroom--which really impresses all of the coaches--but he can't really play when he gets out on the field.
It's hard to say how good Sobieski might be because he was hurt so much that he never really had a chance to get his game together, let alone improve. And, I don't think Sullivan really wanted to be here anymore (I can't help remembering Mel Kiper, on draft day, saying, before the Bills took him, that Sullivan had first or second round talent, but was slipping down in the draft because he had shown a tendency to be lackadaisical and lazy, as if he really didn't want to play sometimes--and that proved to be exactly how he performed for the Bills.) Esposito was just signed to play in NFLE.
I'm just hoping the Bills can find a couple of guys on the waiver wire that McNally can turn into decent linemen for us: maybe an old vet with one more season in him that got cut in favor of a younger guy; or a young guy with some talent who is ticketed for some team's D-squad because a team chose to keep a more experienced player; or even a guy who may not be all that talented, but who is tough and can play and is willing to learn how to get better (the kind of free agent pick up that you see end up starting on a lot of offensive lines around the league).
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

Pucillo signed an inexpensive extension I believe and Bills seem to think he is improving over time. I know Pucillo is not a fan favorite but they know a lot more on how they grade linemen and what flaws are correctable and what like Sullivan's attitude are not.

Okay. Listen closely now.. Mike Pucillo is still on the team because one of the best O line coaches in the NFL wants him to be. I'll trust his judgement, and will continue to do so until he totally flops.
"It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game."
I truly believe we kept Pucillo because he is either:
1. cheap depth
2. is improving or is what was mentioned before, a "workout warrior"
3. is white (jk)
I know Sobieski had alot of potential and I remember on draft day the analyists saying that he could of been 1st or 2nd round talent but he was often injuried in college and it seems to have carried over. Lineman have to be durable and I rather take a guy who is a work-horse than a guy who will sit on IR.
On the other side, I really hope the Bills go after a top teir G or C. We can still cut "John the Magician" if we get a C who can long snap and then Teague can go back at G. I would much rather sign a mauler G and hope the line meshes well. Lets hope and pray!
i believe the only valid reason could be because he has pictures of TD sleeping with greg williams, and TD doesnt want them to get out, because it could affect his relationship with mularky.. you know.. mularky may feel like TD is undressing him with his eyes and stuff in meetings.
