John from Riverside Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I actually think Dickerson is gonna be an active..... We need to employ more TE sets against physical teams......wouldnt suprise me to use Dickerson due to his size and speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure McGee is going to play. They signed Ruvell back instead of a corner when Brooks went on IR, so that should tell you that they believe McGee will be good to go.

But, I think by the end of the year we'll be seeing plays specifically geared for Dickerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be slotted at 3 positions, and I can see us using him like the Colts used to use Dallas Clark. I see him more as a Jim Kleinsasser for the Vikings.. not a very dynamic "skill player", but useful in multiple packages, regardless of down and distance.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 1. T Jackson 2. Colin Brown 3. Sam Young 4. A Carrington 5. Chris White 6. T McGee .7 D Howell 8. ?????????????? We kept Chris White for ST. I'd be very surprised if he's inactive. The rest, depending upon how much they feel McGee has progressed, could be about right. Of course, I've been very surprised by a number of things the Bills have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 just to enforce/correct certain things here: there are 7 non-dressing spots on the roster after last year as the 3rd rule is no-longer in effect. So, here are my 7: Brad Smith Terrence McGee Alex Carrington Delano Howell Colin Brown Sam Young One of the following: Tarvaris Jackson, Kyle Moore, Dorin Dickerson, Ruvell Martin. If I was choosing, I'd pick Martin and then cut him. I'm guessing Jackson until he learns the play Kleinsasser was virtually an extra offensive lineman… Kleinsasser was a beast of blocker regardless of FB or TE. I wish there were more guys like him in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran a good 40 two years and three teams ago His professional achievements in his wiki are the following: During his off season he spends his time in Pittsburgh, and is an avid karaoke participant.

Hplarrm Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 FWIW, 6 catches for 53 yards and a TD this preseason. He was also targeted deep twice. In addition to once running a 4.4 40 (outstanding for someone big enough to play FB) more importantly Dickerson demonstrated routinely in pre-season practices that he is one of the fastest players on the Bills. He is listed on the depth chart as both a TE and a FB and really meets the classic definition of an H-Back and Gailey plans to use him that way. He obviously is not a starter but with only 2 years in the league he is not only a youngster with a lot of upside but should make an immediate contribution as shown by the #s he actually accomplished in pre-season and apparently he is willing to stick his nose into the play and sacrifice his body.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 im sorry I just feel like im missing something with dickerson what did he do that everyone is drooling over?

He was also targeted deep twice. which is nice, but really isnt proving much. im just a bit skeptical that this 7th rounder thats been bouncing around the league will live up to the LOFTY expectations. he may be an effective player, but it seems people are talking about him like he is already a highly effective game changer. i understand he has potential, but i also think its fair to temper that enthusiasm a little bit when his biggest accomplishment is 6 catches for 53 yards in preseason play.

Here we go again. Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 - One of Smith/Jackson (depending on injury situation) - C. Brown - S. Young - TJ Graham - Howell - Carrington - Moore Also it's possible the Bills don't dress Morrison, in which case, put one of Carrington or Moore in there.

ChanOverChin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I expect it will be: T. Jackson (not ready to contribute) C. Brown (on roster as a safety net for Wood) A. Carrington K. Moore C. White D. Howell D. Dickerson. B. Smith or Dickerson will be a tough call, but I think the Bills really want B. Smith to play. Our active 46 for Week 1: QB: Fitzpatrick/Thigpen/B. Smith RB: F. Jackson/Spiller/Choice FB: McIntyre TE: Chandler/L. Smith WR: S. Johnson/Nelson/Jones/Graham/Martin O-line: Glenn/Levitre/Wood/Urbik/Pears/Hairston/Rinehart/Young K: Lindell/Potter P: Moorman LS: Sanborn DE: M. Williams/Anderson/Kelsay DT: K. Williams/Dareus/S. Johnson OLB: Barnett/Moats/Scott/Bradham MLB: Sheppard/Morrison CB: Gilmore/A. Williams/McGee/McKelvin/Rogers S: Wilson/Byd/Searcy Looking at the active roster, I have to wonder if veteran TE C. Cooley would be a better option over TE L. Smith and also whether a guy like WR P. Burress would be a nice shot in the arm once T. Jackson assumes the #2 QB role with QB T. Thigpen being released. Eventually, TE Cooley for TE L. Smith - Cooley has always been a very reliable receiver. QB T. Jackson for QB T. Thigpen - Thigpen is just not good enough against top notch NFL competition. WR P. Burress for WR R. Martin CB Brooks for TE Dickerson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I chickened out and didn't draft him. If he gets some looks this week, maybe I'll pick him up. For some reason I just see us trying to use him in a number of ways, and maybe getting good touches in the redzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
