#89 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Travis should be ready in two weeks. I know that you all want Willis but didn't your heart stop when he came up limping after Travis was carted off the field and that leaves Joe Burns as the only back up. We would have been back to no running game threat and a sack Drew because the recievers are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick in* england Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 nice insider knowledge.... pat on the back for you... I crapped my pants when Willis went down... It would be really handy to have Travis on the sideline for the rest of the year.... Just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICE Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 The only thing we said in the bar was 'sh--, there goes our offseason extra draft pick' when TH went down. Honestly that is all TH is anymore. When he comes into the game he doesnt' seem to give a sh--. He runs, blocks and catches 1/2 assed. His attitude sucks. Joe burns will BURN people if they underestimate his ass. Didn't this kid kick serious ass in NFLE? He has been on our roster enough now to contribute.

HtownBillsFan Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I agree with ICE, I think given the chance, Joe Burns could prove to be a reliable RB. I know NFLE isnt the NFL, but he tore it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but he's been supportive all year, and kept his mouth shut on the bench. MM has reported numerous times how he has participated in practice as if he was going to start. Of course you are not going to see "third quarter" Travis when he steps onto the field for one play here, one play there. He has lost his position to the better back, and he has taken that like a man. And if/when he begins to complain about it after the season, he will have every right to.

His fibula is probably snapped in half but they are trying to salvage his trade value by propping up his medical status." is this just another example of the bills "trying to increase his trade value"?? haha some people are entirely too negative........

Not sure if Burns did much in NFL-E - if he even went... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 As already noted: Joe Burns never played in NFL Europe. The guy who did - Ken Simonton (who won the Offensive MVP over there, IIRC) - is currently out of the league. And if y'all would be happy with Joe Burns as your starter if anything happened to Willis, I want some of what you're smoking. Personally, I'm still shocked he survived the final cutdown in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly plays hard every chance he gets but his blitz pickups are downright scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, for a minute there I was really worried we would have one less 4th round pick next year. I was also concerned about Willis when I saw Travis get hurt. I mean, Willis is gonna have the football in one hand, his rookie of the year trophy in the other, who the hell is gonna hold his jock strap if Travis isn't around. This love fest for Travis has always bothered me. Is he a workhorse? Yes! Without a doubt. He plays hurt - great! What a soldier. But I am so happy to finally have someone who brings... oh what's the word... RESULTS to the team. Man, I think I am in some sort of non-gay man love with Willis McGahee. This hasn't happened since Jimbo was here. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
