jabarigreer.jpgHello Bills fans. After losing cornerback Nate Clements to free agency, the Bills were in desperate need to find his replacement. Little did they know his eventual replacement would be somebody already on their roster. Jabari Greer has turned into a pretty good cornerback. In training camp, newly signed corner Jason Webster earned the starting role. Ashton Youboty was his backup and Greer was buried on the depth chart. After Webster got hurt, Youboty assumed the starter role opposite Terrence McGee. Youboty would eventually get hurt and next in line was Greer. Jabari had a big game against the Jets with five tackles and an interception. This earned him AFC defensive player of the week. Greer would again get to start the next game against the Dallas Cowboys. This was a real big test for him because the Cowboys have really good receivers especially Terrell Owens. Well Greer came to play and had an interception for the second straight week. He also had a few big tackles and broke up a two-point conversion pass to Owens in the endzone. Greer and McGee held Owens to two catches in that game. I am really impressed with the way Greer has played. He has a knack for the ball and is very aggressive. He also has great closing speed and can be physical. He tackles well and hopefully will continue to help this young defense grow. Greer and McGee make a great combo and will hopefully have all Bills fans saying Clements who. Thanks Jabari. You are definitely an exciting player to watch. Lets go Bills.

Bills Make Roster Moves

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

Posluszny Placed on Injured Reserve, Nall signed

PlayerWell Bills fans, we lost another defensive starter for the year. The Bills today announced that they have placed Paul Posluszny on injured reserve. This to me is really heartbreaking because Poz is a terrific player and he only got to play in three games in his rookie season. This was going to be a year where he would learn the ropes of the NFL game and improve each and every week. He was already turning into a tackling machine and was only going to get better. This really pisses me off. How can we lose so many guys in only three games? Poz joins starting cornerback Jason Webster and starting safety Ko Simpson on injured reserve. The Bills have now lost five defensive starters in all. Keith Ellison is still nursing a high ankle sprain and Terrence McGee did not play last week due to a rib injury. John DiGiorgio had a nice game filling in for Poz. He recorded 12 tackles and ½ sack. It’s a damn shame to lose a player like Poz. Lets hope he gets well soon. The Bills today have also announced the re-signing of quarterback Craig Nall. The Bills had to sign a qb because Losman will be out two weeks. The Bills cut Nall before the season and only kept two qbs on the roster. It’s nice to have a quarterback that knows the system. Nall spent last season on the roster but did not see any action during the season. Lets hope Trent Edwards has a great game this week against the Jets. Lets Go Buffalo. Get well soon Poz.

Bills put Webster on IR and Sign Player

Hello Bills fans. Today the Buffalo Bills have put cornerback Jason Webster on injured reserve officially ending his season. Webster broke his forearm in Sunday’s game against Denver. The Bills have also signed linebacker Leon Joe. Joe is known for his special teams play and will likely be Everett’s replacement on that unit. It is crazy how the defense took so many hits so far in the season. Starting linebacker Keith Ellison was injured in the last preseason game. Coy Wire his replacement, sprained his MCL against Denver. John DiGiorgio is likely going to get the start in place of Wire. Hopefully Ellison will be back in a few weeks. Ashton Youboty will take Webster’s spot opposite of Terrence McGee. This is the time for Youboty to shine and show the organization that they made the right move in drafting him last year. He did look good on Sunday when he came in. Lets hope he can keep the Steelers receivers in check. Jim Leonhard will start at free safety with Ko Simpson being injured. Simpson was also placed on injured reserve. I was really upset when he got hurt because he and Donte Whitner made a great safety tandem. They both played well together as rookies last year. Lets hope the guys who are taking the place of our injured players contribute and get us a win against the Steelers. Lets go Buffalo.

Bills Make Roster Moves

September 11, 2007 By: Billy5407 Category: Aaron Schobel, Buffalo Bills, Chris Kelsay, Coy Wire, Eric Powell, Jason Jefferson, Jason Webster, Ko Simpson, Matt Murphy, NFL No Comments →

Hello Bills fans. Over the last couple of days we have all been through a lot. With Everett’s serious injury and a few others going down, we have made some roster moves. Matt Murphy, who was released before the game on Sunday, was re-signed. The Bills also signed tight end Michael Gaines. Gaines played for Carolina last year. He is a big tight end known for his blocking. The Bills also placed safety Ko Simpson on injured reserve after he fractured his ankle on Sunday. The team also released backup defensive end Eric Powell. That is a surprise move being that we only have three healthy ends and one is primarily a long snapper. Defensive tackle Jason Jefferson has moved over from defensive tackle to play end to spell Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay. Look for the Bills to sign a few players tomorrow. They will most likely be picking up a safety and a defensive end. It would not surprise me if they also picked up a linebacker and a cornerback due to both Jason Webster and Coy Wire getting hurt. Webster is most likely out for the year and Wire will most likely miss at least four weeks. I still can’t believe that all of this has happened and we are only going into week two. Lets Go Bills and please pull together and win one this Sunday.

Preview Game 1: Broncos vs. Bills

Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Denver Broncos travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on our Buffalo Bills. This game has many key matchups and here are a few that the Bills need to win in order to take this game.

Travis Henry vs. Bills run defense: Kyle Williams, Larry Tripplett, Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay, John McCargo, and Tim Anderson need to come up big in stopping Henry. They have to occupy blockers so Posluszny, Crowell, and Wire can attack the ball carrier. The Broncos have a very good line and are known for their chop blocks. Hopefully McCargo can use his speed and get into the backfield to disrupt some of Henry’s running lanes. Look for Poz to be all over the field in this game. I’m predicting 10 tackles and a forced fumble. I also feel that Crowell and Wire will be all over the field as well.

Lee Evans and Peerless Price vs. Champ Bailey and Dre Bly: I am looking forward to see how well Evans does against arguably the best corner in the league in Champ Bailey.
Lee Evans has the speed to get by Bailey so the Bills should go deep right away to take Bailey out of his game. Peerless Price needs to have a good game against Bly to take away some pressure from Evans. Also look for Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish to play a big role in the slot. I feel that we can attack Denver either with the long ball or quick routes from our speedy slot receivers. I’m predicting Lee Evans to have 6 catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Peerless will have 5 catches for 60 yards. Parrish and Reed will combine for over 100 yards with Reed having a touchdown grab. Also look for Reed to have a running play. He has a knack for breaking tackles.

Jay Cutler vs. Bills secondary: We all know that Jay Cutler has a cannon. Some of the passes he made last year were amazing. Terrence McGee, Jason Webster, Donte Whitner and Ko Simpson need to be on their game tomorrow. Denver has a few good wide receivers especially Javon Walker. Look for McGee to be locked in on him all day. I’m predicting an interception from Whitner. I really feel that he will have a great year at the strong safety position. Jabari Greer should get some time as the nickel back.

I feel that those three are the key matchups the Bills need to win in order to get a victory tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Marshawn Lynch and hope that he has a great game. J.P. Losman will be ready to go and lead this team to victory. For all of you fans with the Sunday ticket, The Bills are on channel 704 and in HD on channel 719. My prediction is Bills 27 - Broncos 20.
