I'm really perplexed that we went into the season depending on Bethel, who was unimpressive and coming off injury, and a 3rd round rookie who only played the position for 1 year in college.

I don't think it might means we'll be terrible or any nonsense like that that I'm sure some will project on to the above, but man, that spot is going to be super super rough, IMO.

if bethel was healthy, i would be totally ok with it. Since his foot is injured, I do have concern as I have little to no faith in williams at this time. He is not ready from what I have seen.

Sterling Moore CB was cut today by buffalo. I am not sure of his health status, but he's been around for a bit.

They did bring in Mike Jenkins and I think they were counting on him as a contingency plan. However that plan blew up when he tore his ACL a week ago.

I think now it's time for plan B. Time for Keim to work the phones and waiver wire.

Plan C - they also brought in Alan Ball (injured), Asa Jackson (not very good), Bouka (injured), the Australian (not very good), and draft two CBs (but neither meant to start now) - so it wasn't for lack of trying.

possible rotational OLB.

If Manny Lawson can't make the Bills (who lost Mario Williams and two OLBs already), he might not be good at football anymore.

I'm a little mystified that people think we can have the most talented 53-man roster in the NFL and AT THE SAME TIME benefit from a half-dozen castoffs from teams like the Bills, who will be happy to finish the season 8-8 and were among the 5 worst Ds in the NFL last year.

this is about finding back end depth to fill out the roster, not getting starters.

That's fine, but Manny Lawson wasn't good enough to be back-end depth for the BILLS. He's not better than Okafor.

I have concerns about okafor with the injury but hopefully he can pull it off. I am mostly interested in available returners, corners and thats probably it.

eh... mike Jenkins is completely washed up and hasn't been effective for years.

it seemed to be a lack of spending though. We just made curious decisions at CB, IMO.

Devin McCluster KR/RB was cut today.

Agree that the team did its due diligence to add depth to CB. And no, bringing back Powers wouldn't have been a solution.

 

[Jetstream Green]

My concern it this, an injury to Peterson at the moment could wreck any thought of even possibly making the playoffs... our current CBs are so raw, opposing offenses see blood lol

 

[Shaggy]

Bundy and Shipley cut.

I really think we should try to sign him as a return man, and cut golden

 

[Mitch]

By the way, it is Dexter McCluster.
