Die Hard Bills Fan

Hello Bills fans. Tonight is the last preseason game as the Buffalo Bills take on the Detroit Lions at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Coach Dick Jauron stated yesterday that it is a game-time decision regarding who will play in this game. I don’t think Trent Edwards or Langston Walker will be suiting up for this one being that the regular season is right around the corner. The fourth preseason game is usually for players that are on the bubble and coaches looking to see who will fill out the final roster spots. This is also for players to show their potential and winning a spot on the practice squad. The roster must be cut down to 53 on August 30th. It will be interesting to see who makes the final cut. I have a feeling there will be a few surprises. Last years #3 running back Dwayne Wright might lose his job to rookie Xavier Omon. If Omon has a big game tonight and Wright gets shutdown like last week, it will be an easy decision for the coaches. The countdown is at 10 days and the season is amongst us. Go Bills

Hello Bills fans.  The Buffalo Bills defeated the Colts last night at the brand new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.  J.P. Losman led the first team offense to two scoring drives.  The most impressive was the 18 play 94 yard which took over 10 minutes off of the clock.  The drive was capped off by a one-yard by rookie Xavier Omon.  Losman looked great in this game.  He made quick decisions and released the ball on time to his wideouts.  Its comforting to know that we have a more than capable backup quarterback.  Losman should good command and only had one bad throw.  Lee Evans and Josh Reed were his go to guys and Justin Jenkins made a nice grab for a first down.  The offensive line played well and gave Losman plenty of time to throw the ball.  Left tackle Langston Walker held Dwight Freeney in check and is getting better at his new position.  It was scary when he left the field but x-rays were negative on his forearm.  I still would love to see Jason Peters report one of these days so Walker could move back to the right side.  The Defense had a fantastic game last night getting four interceptions.  Ashton Youboty, Keith Ellison, John Wendling, and Reggie Corner all had picks on the night.  The defensive line played well and on the first play of the game Chris Kelsay sacked Jared Lorenzen.  I cant wait to see this team hit the field on September 7th.  Check out the highlights of the game on nfl.com.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans. The team just announced that they have signed third round pick Chris Ellis and sixth round pick Xavier Omon. Ellis will be competing for the fourth defensive end spot. Omon will be competing with Dwayne Wright for the third running back spot. The team now only has Leodis McKelvin and James Hardy to sign as camp opens tomorrow at St. John Fisher. Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  The team announced today that they have reached a contract agreement with fifth round pick linebacker Alvin Bowen.  Bowen was a tackling machine at Iowa State and will most likely be a backup and special teams player.  Bowen will be a great asset on special teams because of his aggressiveness.  Their are still four picks that havent signed yet.  First Round pick Leodis McKelvin, second round pick James Hardy, third round pick Chris Ellis, and sixth round pick Xavier Omon.  Look for Omon to sign tomorrow and Ellis to follow shortly after.  I expect McKelvin and Hardy to sign Friday.  Check out the article on buffalobills.com.  Go Bills.

Hello Bills fans.  I can’t believe training camp is only five days away.  The only concern I have at this time is that there are still five draft picks unsigned.  Leodis McKelvin, James Hardy, Chris Ellis, Alvin Bowen and Xavier Omon.  I believe Ellis, Bowen and Omon will get signed within the next few days.  McKelvin and Hardy will be more difficult and might miss the beginning of training camp.  The team needs both guys there from day one to learn from the veterans on the team.  Both McKelvin and Hardy will be relied upon to contribute from the start.  I feel that Hardy is the one that we need to have in our starting lineup from week one.  Hardy has the height and ball skills to help this offense in the redzone.  The team needs Hardy to take pressure off of star wide receiver Lee Evans.  If Hardy can develop into a solid threat, look for Evans to have a monster season.  McKelvin will most likely be the nickel corner unless he has a tremendous camp.  Terrence McGee and Jabari Greer are solid and are more than capable starters.  Lets hope everyone is signed and in camp on Friday.
