Bills OTA Lineups
I thought Bills fans would want to know how the starting lineups looked at the OTA practices that began this week. Keep in mind, some players (Jason Peters) are missing from the voluntary workouts. Some injured players (Lee Evans) are also missing from their normal positions.
But here's how it looked through the first two days of on-field workouts:
Offense
QB: Trent Edwards
RB: Marshawn Lynch
FB: Darian Barnes
WR: Josh Reed, Roscoe Parrish (Evans hurt)
TE: Derek Schouman (Robert Royal hurt)
LT: Kirk Chambers (for Peters)
LG: Derrick Dockery
C: Duke Preston (Melvin Fowler hurt)
RG: Brad Butler
RT: Langston Walker
Fred Jackson and Dwayne Wright were the backups at RB. Teyo Johnson, Courtney Anderson and Derek Fine backed up at tight end. James Hardy was 2nd team wide receiver with Justin Jenkins.
Defense
DE: Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsay
DT: Marcus Stroud, Kyle Williams
LB: Angelo Crowell, Paul Posluszny, Kawika Mitchell
CB: Jabari Greer, Terrence McGee
SS: Donte Whitner
FS: Ko Simpson
Leodis McKelvin got some snaps with the starters Tuesday as Terrence McGee sat out parts of practice. William James was the other 2nd team cornerback. John McCargo and Spencer Johnson were the 2nd team DT's. The 2nd team linebackers were Keith Ellison, John DiGiorgia and Alvin Bowen. George Wilson and Bryan Scott were the 2nd team safeties. Ryan Denney and Chris Ellis ran backup at defensive end.
Any surprises for you? Any disappointments? Anybody you don't think is in the right spot? Let us know. Post your comments.

Why do you think Hardy is still with the second team? Also, who is taking backup QB reps with JP not here? Who was taking #3 QB reps with JP here?
Remember, Hardy is a rookie. This is the first week of workouts. Dick Jauron has never been hesitant to play rookies, but he also makes them earn their spot. Josh Reed isn't going to lose his spot now. It could come in camp, but its too early now.
With J.P. Losman gone the last two days, Gibran Hamden has been taking the backup reps at quarterback. That moved Matt Baker up to #3. He's first year player who was on some practice squads last year. The Bills claimed him off waivers a few weeks ago. He's from North Carolina.
interesting...do you think hardy will be the #2 WR come opening day though? I would sure hope so! I also do like Steve Johnson, what are your impressions of him thus far and do you see him having a good shot to make the final roster?
How the heck is Williams still ahead of McCargo?
