Final Cuts

The Buffalo News and the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle are going at it over the Bills final cuts with some very different results. The two papers diverge about as much as possible.

The News has Omon making the roster while D&C has Wright staying with the Bills. I think Wright's abysmal performance wraps it up for Omon. The third string back isn't going to see the light of day unless Lynch and Jackson go down. That means it's about special teams and hanging onto the football, neither of which Wright has shown much of. And this coming from a big Wright fan.

The News has Steve Johnson in the last WR slot while D&C figures Jenkins will make it. If I'm the Bills, I worry about another team snapping Johnson up. However, April lost a lot of players and will argue hard for Jenkins. I'm going with my heart and saying Johnson wins the last spot.

I think the News is right that it's very likely the Bills will keep 6 WRs and 11 DBs, though. It leaves the line thin, but I wouldn't be surprised to see folks like Murphy and Fine on PUP list to give them more time to figure out those situations, wait for Peters to return, and settle the TE battle. There's just no way that D&C's predictions come true and the Bills let their third and fourth round picks go on the waiver wire (Ellis & Fine). Neither Corner nor Youbouty is going to see the waiver wire either in my opinion.

The piece by the News is far more pretient in my opinion, but only time will tell.

Olympic-Sized Preseason

1) We're only two games into the pre-season, but Bennett and Riley are already spotting some interesting developments out there on the field. Better hit the hot tub, Trent.

2) Brett Favre's packed up and moved to the city that never sleeps. Should Bills fans be concerned? Will the Bills line up across from the MVP who once dominated the league, or the aging veteran known for throwing untimely interceptions?

3) The Bills are heading into their third pre-season game and still no word from stud tackle Jason Peters. Riley's pissed, while Bennett just wants a glimpse of the guy before signing him to a mega-deal.

4) The brothers love their football, but they also love their Olympics. What lesser known sports would they like to see more of? And what sports would they like to see less of? Trampoline anyone? No thank you.

Bennett
When he's not writing, or cringing over a rank diaper, you can find Bennett in his LA backyard with a six pack of PBR, ruminating on today's most significant issues, such as how does Magic Shell ice cream topping really work, what happened to Darick Holmes, and why does Bennett's cat insist on crapping in the bathtub.

Riley
After spending three years in soccer-loving country, Riley craves his Bills fix. Every Sunday you can find him at McFadden's in DC.
