    Let me get this straight...

    John McCargo > Kirk Chambers (line-depth), Joique Bell (ST and RB 45 man depth), Nick Hennessey (general line-depth), Andre Johnson/Jason Watkins (again, interior line depth since we're apparently only keeping Cordaro Howard?), Sean Allen (other center in camp).

    I just didn't see anything from him this pre-season to merit a spot where we could've kept someone to at least be a solid/developmental backup.

    If you've been paying attention, by the way, you'll see this is the only time I've ever been pissed about John McCargo. I just don't see it. Anyone want to explain?

    except for bell. they're all terrible. i've been waiting for 3 years for chambers to be cut. mccargo never seemed like he wanted to be an nfl player. can't belive he made the roster either. the rest are just as putrid as chambers and deserved to be cut.

        Chambers may be terrible, but he held down any guard or tackle part he needed. Depth is my only concern offense wise right now. Depth wise he did what he needed. As of now? My only wish is that when one of the starting 5 go down (my bet is on Cornell) we have someone who can fill in. At one point, Mr. Chambers was that fill in.

        Of the others... well ****. I got nothin. Let's just hope Chan and Bud know what they're doing.

          Meredith is the swing tackle now, and a far better one than Chambers.
          I'm sure they are looking for at least one other guy for depth on the O-Line, but after Gaileys comments after the detroit game, it shouldn't be a surprise to see the majority of the 'backups' cut.

            Bell surprises me. He ran hard.

              McCargo had a pretty solid pre-season.

                We cut Andre Johnson?! I drafted him in the first round of one of my fantasy leagues!

                    I think we'll add an O-lineman and maybe a TE from the waiver wire, at the expense of the Harris boys.
                    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?

                      All of those OL are terrible. I was overjoyed when Chambers was cut.

                      As for Bell, he is PS eligible and would not play with Jackson, Spiller and Lynch on the squad. If the Bills are going to use some 4-3 looks, McCargo is useful with his ability to play DT or DE.

                      I think he was very borderline, but I see why he made it after paying fairly well in the pre-season.

                        I agree, except I think it is one of the Harris (Dominique?) and one of the LBs

                          The defense struggled so McCargo's size and versatility was a must have vs. the luxury of a decent backup RB when he is sitting behind Spiller, Lynch, and Jackson.

                          I think the real issue is WR and TE. I think the Bills are trying to make space on their roster.

                          The Bills need special teams players as well and I don't think Chad Simpson and Bell were out there tackling people.
