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!

Steve Sciullo was cut by Philly yesterday. I am unsure about his health, but he is 25 years old and has started in 18 games in his first two years in the league. Started 13 games for Indy in 2003 and started 5 games for
Personally, I will NEVER miss Tucker. I just wasnt that impressed. I think Preston will do just fine.
If your point is that our o-line depth is weak, I absolutely agree! I lobbied here a few days back to upgrade some of our backups from the last round of cuts. I would have liked to see some players like:
Mike Compton, Anthony Clements, CJ Brooks yet we stuck with who we have. None of those guys is a C but any would have been better than our current depth. Im a little worried that yet again our o-line depth is weak and costs us games.
Im fine with our starters except for the penalties from Anderson. But after the starters we are pretty darn slim.
We need to bring back Tucker, if he's healthy. He knows our system.
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?
OK, I scanned the depth charts from NFL.com for names that stuck out to me at backup C. Personally I think we may be fine with Preston but im willing to feed the sky is falling folks.
These are the BACKUPS that seem familiar to me:
Cinn- Ben Wilkerson
CHI- Roberto Garza
Dal- Andre Gurode
GB- Grey Reugamer- also backups up at G
Scott Welss- also backups up at G
Min- Adam Goldberg
KC- Chris Bober
NO- Jamar Nesbit
NE- Russ Hochstein- also backup G
SF- Eric Heitmann
Sea- Chris Spencer
Pitt- Chucky Okobi
Was- Corey Raymer
Overall, Im a bit pleasantly suprised in a way. The rest of the league doesnt seem to be too deep on the OL either. Im not really sure any of these guys is a serious upgrade to Preston. But sure, there are some guys here with potential. Problem is, if we trade for one in hopes of saving a few games until Teague gets back [Thats if you assume not having Teague will costs us games] and you trade for one of these guys, you basically are telling Preston he isnt our future at C.

BTW, Chris Specer was a 1`st rounder, not likely we could or would even try to land him even if we felt we needed a potential star.
If Tucker's back was in bad shape he wasn't going to be worth keeping on the roster.
Preston had a real good preseason so he'll probably get the nod at RG.
However once again bills fans freak out like the little girls they are and cry DOOMED any chance they get
DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED
Oh, come on, you just don't want to admit that the sky is falling and the season is lost.
