The Gameday 48
The Bills kick off their new season on Sunday evening and I thought it'd be fun to try and predict which 48 players will be 'active' for Buffalo against Baltimore
QB (2) Allen, Trubisky
No explanation needed
RB (3) Cook, Davis, Johnson
No explanation needed
FB (1) Gilliam
It'll be interesting to see how the presence of Hawes (TE) affects Gilliam's usage
TE (3) Kincaid, Knox, Hawes
I think they are very excited to use Hawes in power formations
WR (5) Shakir, Coleman, Palmer, Samuel, Shavers
Elijah Moore has missed practices this week for personal reasons. Shavers seems good on special teams.
OT (3) Dawkins, Brown, VanDemark
OG (3) Edwards, Torrence, Anderson
C (2) McGovern, VanPranGranger
You have to have 8 OL active or the 48 switches to 47
TOTAL OFFENSE: 22
DE (4) Rousseau, Bosa, Epenesa, Solomon
I'll take Solomon over Landon Jackson at this point in season at least
DT (4) Oliver, Jones, Sanders, Walker
Carter went to IR. No need to use up a practice squad promotion
LB (5) Milano, Bernard, Williams, Thompson, Andreeson
Some will be used for special teams
CB (5) Johnson, Benford, Strong, Ingram, Lewis
I'm assuming Tre White misses this week
S (3) Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin, Franklin
Cam Lewis is available here too from CB group. Franklin is for ST
TOTAL DEFENSE: 22
K (1) Bass (or Prater if Bass is hurt)
P (1) Robbins
LS (1) Ferguson
Returner (1) Codrington
TOTAL SPECIAL TEAMS: 4
INACTIVES FROM 53
C. Lundt, E. Moore, L. Jackson. J. Hancock, T. White
Some tough calls here. I could easily see the Bills making any of these 5 active. Lundt could replace VanPranGranger. Moore could replace Shavers. Jackson could replace Solomon. Hancock could replace Franklin or Lewis. White could replace Strong, Ingram, or Lewis.
