# Joe Marino: Joe Marino gives their final projection of the Buffalo Bills' initial 53-man roster after the preseason finale, naming who makes it, who gets cut, and who lands on injured reserve/PUP, along with several starting-job calls (Kyle Allen as QB2, TJ Sanders starting over Landon Jackson, Maxwell Hairston starting opposite Christian Benford, and Tommy Doman winning the punting job). **Claimed:** Aug 28, 2026 **Pundit:** Joe Marino — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/joe-marino **Outlet:** Locked On Bills (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-bills-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/8c06ff/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162/episodes/260d33a2-9316-4ef8-9529-7674af3a2dc8/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5c86183-3556-42ef-a0fc-3e82326ec162&awEpisodeId=260d33a2-9316-4ef8-9529-7674af3a2dc8&feed=LIaoLB9Y 91 checkable claims — 85 roster spot calls and 6 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 86 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 56 of 91 have settled so far, averaging 87.5 out of 100, against 78.6 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Probably the most difficult final 53 man roster projection that I've done as host of this podcast. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Geno Stone to be cut** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Geno Stone, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Trent Sherfield to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Trent Sherfield, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Anthony Kendall to be cut** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Anthony Kendall, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Kani Walker to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Kani Walker, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Te'Cory Couch to be cut** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Te'Cory Couch, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Dee Alford to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Dee Alford, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Tyler Bass to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Terrel Bernard to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Terrel Bernard, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Damar Hamlin to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Damar Hamlin, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Joe Andreessen to be cut** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Joe Andreessen, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **DeWayne Carter to be cut** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: DeWayne Carter, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **DJ Moore to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: DJ Moore, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Austin Corbett to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Austin Corbett, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Dawson Knox to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Bradley Chubb to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Bradley Chubb, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Greg Rousseau to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Greg Rousseau, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Ty Johnson to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Ty Johnson, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Josh Allen to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jordan Hancock to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jordan Hancock, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Javon Solomon to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Javon Solomon, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **O'Cyrus Torrence to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: O'Cyrus Torrence, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Keon Coleman to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Christian Benford to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Christian Benford, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Kaleb Elarms-Orr to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Kaleb Elarms-Orr, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **T.J.
