We’re down to the final 53…with some surprises along the way
Bills fans are used to surprises–and the surprises aren’t always good. And this Saturday’s roster cuts are no different. It’s too early to say if the cuts made to whittle the team down to the mandated 53 are good or bad but Bills Chick does know they didn’t occur without some signature surprises.
Like, former Colts RB Dominic Rhodes was released. Fred Jackson’s wrist must be doing better and Xavier Omon beat Rhodes out for the third string position. A little shocking because there was so much talk when he was acquired…he was supposed to contribute to the depth we were seeking to compensate for Marshawn Lynch’s three-game suspension…and Jauron made him sound like a viable player during Thursday’s post game analysis. The Buffalo News hints that money may have been a factor in Rhodes’ surprise release. Check out the article here.
Preseason game 2: Starters may see more playing time tonight…
What’s in store for the Bills’ first preseason home game? Well, we all know the future is unpredictable, but Bills Chick can do her best to shed a little light on what we can expect.
-Our starters should see a bit more of the field this time. While T.O. will sit this one out, courtesy of his extremely legit toe sprain ( that people should stop criticizing because I hurt my toe running barefoot the other day–look, we’re totally in tune with each other–and I was limping around left and right. They’re just being cautious and if people haven’t noticed, toes are kind of really important for the whole, oh I don’t know, running thing!)
8 things that have/haven’t happened during training camp ‘09
The Bills started training camp a week before everyone else, so by now we’re almost two weeks in. We have yet to see if they’ll reap the benefits of this, but a lot has happened…and a lot hasn’t happened. Let’s take a look.
Random Buffalo Bits
RB Justise Hairston
Remember when FB Corey McIntyre was charged with some randomly ridiculous charges of sexual exposure for allegedly fondling himself outside a 55-year-old Florida woman’s home? Well, those charges were dropped today after the woman said she “never actually saw his genitals” and couldn’t give other specifics related to her allegations. Pardon my language, but WTF?! This lady is clearly crazy and put this poor guy, his family, the team and fans through a bunch of crap for nothing. I’m confused and it looks like this woman is very confused as well. Isn’t there some type of punishment for pressing false charges/filing false allegations?…or at least something to make up for damage of someone’s reputation? My Law & Order: SVU expertise is kicking into gear right now and I’m pretty sure I’m right.
Let’s get our minicamp on–Part 1
The first day of sexy, sweaty, sometimes shirtless, spandex clad butts running around Bills minicamp wrapped yesterday and the emphasis was on a no-huddle offense. As my girl Chelsea Handler would say, “I like it, I like it a lot.” What’s so thrilling about a no-huddle offense that can get Bills Chick riled up on this cloudy, sluggish day? Well, it’s the tactic legendary Bills QB Jim Kelly was the king of. That can mean only one thing, which is that this team is serious about revamping their style to become AFC East and NFL contendors–if kickin’ it Buffalo old school (well, ’90s style) is how they’re doing it, so be it.
