Looks like the Vikings and Bucs both lost a starting sumo tackle to season ending injuries in the first half of their game.
Right now Wegher is not even listed on the team's depth chart.
I heard that he will featured on the TV program 'Undrafted'
Who are the running backs we might see actually run the ball this year?
Danny Woodhead - San Diego
Toby Gerhart - Jacksonville
Rex Burkhead - Cincinnati
Zach Zenner - Detroit
Brandon Wegher - Carolina
Zach Line - Minnesota
Tyler Varga - Indianapolis
Tyler Gafney - New England
Any others?
I don't know if it's been remarked on, but the Cleveland Browns have 8 whites in the offensive starting lineup. That surprised me.

Hogan on the bubble article:
http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/08/15/bills-facing-a-tough-call-at-receiver/
Stupendously sad,but true.I predicted Fat Rex will cut Hogan over on the Buffalo Bills thread as he is a first rate DWF.Not only did Fat Rex cut Danny Woodhead,he also was slobbering the other night at the post game press conference about the "magic" Idler Arm Taylor brings to the game !!! Not only does Hogan measure out and even surpass all the other receivers on the roster when it comes to athletic skill drill measurables,he also proved beyond a shadow of a doubt last year that he should be a STARTING WR in the NFL,not on any roster bubble !!!! The only hope Hogan has is the WR coach going to bat for him----as he unashamedly does in the article cited---or for China Doll Goodwin to hurry up and get injured again which almost happened AGAIN the other night on a simple 1st half ending kickoff return kneel down from which he came up limping.
Not really sure how to gauge Tebow's performance. He only completed 50% of his passes after starting hot. He did run one in from 7 yards out.
Barkley appeared to play really well. Not sure how the QB battle will play out.
It is pretty remarkable that a proven commodity like Hogan has to go out and prove himself once again. If he gets cut, I hope he is able to find another job soon - the Patriots can use him for sure.
Regarding Taylor - He can't read the whole field, can't make all the required throws - he is basically an RB playing the position. If his first read isn't there he will run with it. I doubt he will complete 60% of his passes if he "wins" the job. I have seen it so many times before - dumb ass coach gets enthralled with a black QB because he can run, he will win a few games, defenses adjust as his weaknesses are exposed and than exploited. Ryan is not a great coach - the Bills will try to win with defense and a running game - that is all Fat Rex does.
Italian Stallion, Buffalo reminds me of Pittsburgh North - It seems their fan base has become a bunch of drunk white fans. Buffalo has steadily fielded coal black teams for some time with nothing to show for it yet they continue to buy into the same nonsense year after year. Am I right? It would be interesting to hear from someone who is local to the area on the climate of the fan base.
Tyler Varga like Zach Zenner is on the wrong team. He had 3 rush attempts for 16 yards today. This kid has starting running back potential. Strong, fast, and elusive. It's similar for Rex Burkhead with the Bengals.
All of our young running backs either don't get drafted like Zenner and have to sign as free agents or they get drafted very low and go to teams that don't need them. It is so frustrating. Varga was a stud at Yale. He had 5 tds in one game. He is built like a mack trruck. If only he could get a fair chance like all of the rest of our guys. Watching these kids rot away and never play makes my blood boil.
Your assessment is right on the money,Leonardfan.Buffalo IS now Pittsburgh North,especially after the promotion of the Majical Hiyella,Doug Whaley,who of course,got his start with Pittsburgh.Add to that mix "Director" of Scouting Kelvin "Affletes" Fisher,and Director of Pro Personnel Jim "Waynes Fontes Jr." Monos and we have a triumvirate of Afroletes First mavens with an agenda running things around here.Fat Rex fits in with these guys to a tee.I wasn't at all surprised when they hired him.My thinking was him or Hue Jackskin----who it turns out was their second choice !!!
These clowns will run this franchise further into the ground.Had to love this year's draft.With a glaring need on the offensive line and Jake Fisher still on the board at #50(our first pick due to the stupid Watkins trade last year),Whaley and crew took a CB who was in the very ROOM where Jametard Winston raped that girl.They then took a black Sumo lineman in the NEXT round,John Miller.The scouting reports on Miller said he was totally lacking in awareness and he scored pathetically low on the Wonderlic,yet all Fat Rex and Whaley talk about is how intelligent he is----give me a break !!! I can go on and on,but will save it for later posts.Sadly,this all started under two old time Caste Whores,Old Fuddy Duddy Nix,and Tommy Gailey.I'm so glad I joined this site---now I have a place to vent about this nonsense !!!!
P.S.>Leonardfan,I posted a thread titled "Rex Ryan is a First Rate DWF" over on the Buffalo Bills thread earlier today which focuses on the the inanity of the BS QB "competiton" as well as the inadequacies of Idler Arm Taylor.
