Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. The team announced today that running back Anthony Thomas, linebacker Coy Wire, cornerback Jerametrius Butler and offensive lineman Aaron Merz have been released. With the emergence of Fred Jackson, A-trains days were numbered. He looked old last year and ended the season on injured reserve. Butler was a fill in after what it seemed like our whole secondary got injured. Merz missed all of last season due to shoulder surgery and would have only been a backup going into the 08 season. The one cut that surprised me was Coy Wire. I really liked the way Coy played and he was developing into a great backup linebacker. He was also a special teams demon but it was said that he failed his physical. He was trying to make a comeback after having neck surgery and it looks like he will have a tough time signing with another team. I’m starting to get excited for free agency. It looks like the Bills are trying to clear more cap space by releasing these four players. Lets hope Friday is a good day for this franchise. Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. The Bills have made a few roster moves today. They have placed backup offensive lineman Jason Whittle on injured reserve. To take Whittles place on the roster, linebacker Kevin Harrison was signed. Harrison spent most of last year on the practice squad. He was released during the final cuts in September. He will most likely play special teams because of the release of Josh Scobey. The Bills have also signed defensive tackle Orien Harris to the practice squad. To make room for him, they released offensive lineman Nevin McCaskill. Look for the Bills to add another offensive lineman to the roster. The only reserves we have healthy are Duke Preston and Kirk Chambers. I still can’t believe how many players we have put on IR this season. The list continues to grow. Whittle joins Ko Simpson, Jason Webster, Al Wallace, Paul Posluszny, Kevin Everett, and Aaron Merz. I can’t believe we are only going into week four. With all of the injuries we have, I would think it was the end of December. In other news it looks like newly signed linebacker Leon Joe will get the start on the outside. John DiGiorgio will take over the middle and Angelo Crowell will be on the other outside position. I don’t know about you but I cant wait for Keith Ellison to come back. He might be back for the Dallas game. He was jogging today in practice and hopefully he can be ready for next week. We could really use all the help we can get. Lets Go Bills

Today the Buffalo Bills announced that offensive lineman Aaron Merz was placed on the injured reserve ending his season. Merz has missed a lot of practice time with a shoulder injury. I’m curious to see who the backup offensive lineman will be. The team usually keeps nine on the roster. The projected starters are Jason Peters at left tackle, Derrick Dockery at left guard, Melvin Fowler at center, Jason Whittle or Duke Preston at right guard, and Langston Walker at right tackle. The projected backups at this point are lets say Preston because I think Whittle will end up starting, Terrance Pennington, Brad Butler, and either Nevin McCaskill, Corey Davis, Christian Gaddis, or Kirk Chambers. I guess Chambers has the best shot out of the four remaining. I for one hope the starters stay healthy. Besides Pennington, the rest do not have much experience if any at all. Lets hope and pray that are main guys are in there the whole season. Butler has had injury problems going back to last year. He is said to have a lot of potential but cannot seem to stay healthy. Gaddis, Davis and McCaskill are all rookie free agents. One of them might be added to the practice squad. Chambers has the best shot because he has more NFL experience than the previous three mentioned. Lets go O-line, please protect JP and pave the way for Marshawn. Lets Go Bills.
