dpberr Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Better have a heavy dose of McIntyre and Chandler/and Smith to go along with CJ. Isn't Lee Smith supposed to be good at run blocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Having him in the lineup last time didn't result in a win last time, guess they will have to try something new in the offence this time and rely on Fitz and the passing game to get them going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Syracuse Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Maybe we'll see a number of two back set with CMack lead blocking for Spiller. Frankly, I don't know why we never seem to use a FB to lead block but if we can just get CJ a crease he's threat on every single play. CMack is a freaking beast and it wouldn't hurt to have him hitting Bart Scott in the mouth several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Man, the news just keeps getting better out of OBD. Not that the FO needs any more dung flung in its general direction, but Freddy's got to be more than a wee mite pissed that he's been leading the league for the most part of the year and they haven't shown him the respect of seriously negotiating a restructure of his deal. So, now they're forced to see what the guy THEY picked and PAID handsomely (who HASN'T PRODUCED a hill of ****'s worth of yardage in nearly two years) can do in Fred's place.

Nanker Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Freddy is a 30 year old RB who is still under contract for the remainder of this year and next. Why throw millions at him now? Right. Let's cast him aside like an old shoe in favor of the supremely talented Mr. Spiller. Fer cryin' out loud Frez, they paid Chris Kelsay and threw millions at Spawn Merryman and a host of other under-performing marginally talented journeymen. It would improve the team morale immensely I'm sure if they continue to cheap on Fred - who's been leading the league in rushing most of the year. Yeah, that's guaranteed to show the young'uns that if they produce for this team they'll get rewarded - rewarded with a faxed copy of the fine print in their existing contract. Good message for UFAs too. They'll be pounding down their agent's door this offseason to demand they get a deal with Buffalo. That's truly a feel good message that should resonate throughout the team and get great rewards in player performance across the board. Right.

Gray Beard Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm worried that Chan will just go five wide and not even bother with a run game. I would like to see if Spiller gets better with more touches, and I would also like to see if Johnny White has any potential. I have always thought that Corey McIntyre should get a chance to be a bigger part of the offense and get a few chances to carry the ball or get a little dump off pass. Now is the time to try it, but I bet it won't happen. I also worry about Spiller and fumbles. He fumbled a few times last year, and last week he carried the ball in one hand in traffic. This week could be interesting. Probably not pretty, but definitely interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGuzman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I'd Fred ends up being out for the rest of the year I say we sign Joique Bell off NOLA's practice squad. We had him with us in 2010 till the iggles signed him off our practice squad. He is likely familiar with our terminology still and I was very impressed with what little I've seen of him when he got carries in the preseason this year.

Bufcomments Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Fred Jackson WAS this teams Offense. I'm just sick about how this teams bad luck is. When we gonna catch a break?? CJ better do something. Now he will get his carries. For his sake I hope he does well. It will boast his ego if he plays even decent. I'll watch the game all the way just to see how he does. Either way it will be interesting. (Trying to find some light people) Hang in there Bills fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he deserves it, it also makes a statement to our players, future free agents and Bills fans that this franchise takes care of it's people. You can not take the beating Freddie gets and dishes out week after week and play all 16 games. I just won't happen...not at his age. I look forward to CJ getting 11 carries for 23 yards this week. We're not gonna run on the Jets. No way Actually teams have been able to run against the Jets this year, especially on the outside. This could prove to be a good match up for Spiller. If they stack 8 up close against the run then look for big game by Chandler and Nelson in the flats. Orrrrrrr we just try to run it up between the guards all day like the last game against the Jets and we get burried again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
