    LB corp overall is the weakest unit of the Bills D, maybe the entire team. You can probably count on Hughes and P. Brown. Manny is 32 year old, not an age that you expect to play every down. More than likely, Striker and the recently signed Biermann are not up to what Rex's liking.
    I disagree as think TE is our weakest roster spot as outside of Clay we have very little to show for. A shame Grgg got hurt as seemed like he gave us something. Hopefully we can find a vet during final cuts.

    Gragg was a lock and I hope Hall gets his, after that dirty hit.

    Dray is probably the backup now. They were probably only going to carry 2.

    It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when" Clay goes down. You can bet Whaley is using his superlative GM skills to come up with a TE off the waiver wire.

    I think they will keep 3. Dray is pretty one dimensional and they need at least the appearance of flexibility for certain formations.

    If he gets suspended for pot, can we say that Lerentee was too damn high?

    What an odd, off-the-wall trade at this time. Only the fly on the wall who was there can make sense of it, I suppose.

    The Bills brought in Lorenzo Alexander to play special teams. Now that he has been pushed into a starter due to the injuries, they needed to acquire someone else to fill the special teams role.

    But why a trade? There were plenty among today's cuts to serve that role. CIN cut a chap named Jayson DiManche, LB, that BUF could of got for nothing. CIN kept him active during the season for 2 years - on their strong roster - and he was decent on ST. Had some plays from scrimmage, too.

    That's the whole thing. Trading for an ST linebacker just strikes me as silly.

    Of course.

    CIN's Director of Player Personnel Duke Tobin is tops. B'gals are exceptionally deep, save the WR position with the defection of Jones and Sanu. The budget last year said he had to go, but he was brought back. There just was no room for him in the inn this year, so to speak. I hope Jayson gets a gig - good kid who gives his best. BUF could have given him a look - for nothing.

    BTW, I hope some team will be well-served by picking up today's cut Brandon Tate. His receiving was under-utilized, IMO:

    Re: Bills trade for Lerentee McCray

    1:45 left, Rex stares across the field at his nemesis Belichick, Belichick stares back. ST coach Danny Crossman falls to the turf, weeping. "We need a linebacker on special teams, coach, we need one NOW...what will we do ?"

    Rex's chin comes up, he nods at Rob without taking his eyes from Belichick. Rob pulls away the cape on the player next to him. Belichick's eyes flicker to the player. He says "****" on the open mike. Up in the suite Whaley stands with a growl. "YES."

    Some generic coach says to Belichick, "We're up by 38, coach ?"

    Belichick's stare returns to Ryan's glare. "That's Lerentree McCoy."

    "You mean Lerentee McCrory, coach ?"

    Another coach pipes in from the booth, "Larry McCarey."

    Belichick snarls. "Whoever, he's that good."

    The staff looks at Belichick, who takes off his headset. "Just kidding, how about Arby's tonight ?" (he flips a bird at Rex). "Idiot."

    The 49ers cut an interesting guy in Busta Anderson. Here's an in-depth report on him

    But there will be plenty of qualified people floating around after final cuts that could do that.
