Nice picks so far Cheese. I really like the Sam Bradford pick like everyone else does. Lets just hope his overall isn't to bad but still an amazing pick at the 18th spot for the Bills.

Thanks man! Yeah, Bradford's overall should be decent I scouted him pretty heavily throughout the season so I already knew a couple of his attributes. I'm just hoping for a decent overall rating and high potential.

love the bradford-thompson combo

Thanks man! I couldn't believe either of them were still on the board when my picks came up. I mean Bradford was who I wanted the whole time but I didn't think there was anyway he would slip.

Man its gonna be so fun to follow Bradfords career, can't wait to see how he does. Good draft so far looks like your getting some youth for the WR and G positions. Looking forward to the rest of the draft.

Thanks man. I am really excited to see how Bradford does. We're having a pretty solid draft so far. I think we added three potential starters in the first three rounds and now we are drafting some depth and project players.

I wanna see what McCoy can do with my Cards

Me too man. I was really surprised he went so late and so many quarterbacks went ahead of him. Could be a real steal for Arizona.

Buffalo Signs Eight Players to Fill Roster Heading into Preseason


HB Devin Moore will try to fit into a crowded Bills backfield.

AP Buffalo - The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with eight players to fill out their 55 man preseason roster. All the deals were minimum salaries for one season. With the exclusion of LT Winston Justice, all of these players are considered long-shots to make the final team. This will be HB Devin Moore's first shot at an NFL career after going undrafted and unsigned the previous year.

Buffalo Bills Preseason Schedule and Roster Notes

8/13 vs

AP Buffalo: Bills Head Coach Russ Grimm released a statement as the team concluded training camp and prepared for the upcoming preseason. His prominent points were as follows:

-DT Marcus Stroud, HB Marshawn Lynch, and P Brian Moorman have been named the team's captains for the 2010-2011 season.

-Each quarterback on the roster will play a quarter in the team's first preseason game.

-Prominent starters such as DT Marcus Stroud and WR Lee Evans will only play the first series in the Bills preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs

The quarterback battle will be the highlight of the Bills preseason. Coming out of camp, rumor is that rookie QB Sam Bradford has turned heads and looks very sharp. Grimm will most likely try to ease Bradford into the preseason though so look for QB Trent Edwards to get the first snaps of at least the Kansas City game. Second year QB Hunter Cantwell will also get his shot in the preseason. Look for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to be a non-factor in this battle. He is unlikely to make the final roster.

Running With The Herd
Sports Column with Bills Analyst cheese2121

In Bradford We Trust?

What an offseason. I feel like I still need to catch my breath. First, we fire Dick Jauron and most of the coaching. Good move in my opinion. Jauron had one of the worst winning percentages of active coaches. Russ Grimm has already brought a toughness, discipline, and swagger that frankly I have never seen before from a Bills squad. I watched some of training camp and the offensive line was just vicious. In place of the TO media circus at training camp, we now have the Bradford watch.

QB Sam Bradford is one of the most talented young quarterbacks I have seen in a long time. He throws the deep ball better than any of the other three on the roster. If he is not starting from day one then look for him to be by week six. Second year QB Hunter Cantwell is the sleeper pick in this battle but I don’t see him outperforming Bradford, maybe Edwards but not Bradford. The other two new offenses weapons that could be key this season are WR Miles Austin and rookie WR Deonte Thompson. Both bring speed and youth to the field that was missing last season. Oh and did I mention they lack half the selfish attitude of TO. The running game looks to take off this season. HB Marshawn Lynch is coming off a pro bowl year in which he didn’t even play the first three games. Imagine what he could do if he played in all 16.

Things are certainly looking up Buffalo fans. But we’re not quite ready. I think it will take some time for Bradford to grow up. He’s going to go through all the growing pains of a rookie quarterback. I think the offensive line is still a little weak on the right side as well. The pass rush has got to improve and look for a changing of the guards as I think second year DE Aaron Maybin out plays DE Aaron Schobel. We’ll improve from last year but I don’t think we have enough firepower to overtake the Patriots yet. Look for a 9-7 finish with a possible wildcard birth.


Five Things to Watch this Preseason:
1. The Quarterback Battle : Trent Edwards? Sam Bradford? Hunter Cantwell? Let the battle begin.

2. James Hardy, Miles Austin, and rookie Deonte Thompson will fight for the two open wide receiver spots. Look for either Thompson or Austin to end up in the slot.

3. DE Aaron Schobel vs. DE Aaron Maybin. Look for one of them to possibly be shifted to LE if Kelsay does not perform.

4. The number two DT tackle spot is open once again but incumbent DT John McCargo has the edge.

5. HB Devin Moore is a longshot to make the team but his excellent speed might be enough to work him into the crowded backfield.

Nice updates Cheese. Can't wait to see what damage Bradford can cause.

Thanks man. I'm anxious to see Bradford in action. Should be an exciting preseason.
