San Jose Bills Fan 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? 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. He also enjoys playing softball and tennis, and has a dog called Percy. So there's that. FWIW, 6 catches for 53 yards and a TD this preseason. He was also targeted deep twice.

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 can pl;ay HBack, FB, TE and was good receiver at U of Pitt I believe. Versatile player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Some of you are listing both Jackson and Smith. No way only 2 QBs are active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 You think we'll need 3? Lol That seems to be Chan's viewpoint. Brad Smith is hurt?? LP at practice on Weds and Chan spoke of expecting him back or at least not ruling him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dickerson is a hard-nosed runner that punishes defensive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint 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. 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...

Burress ...let's just wait on the first game yet. I expect we might be surprised this year with WR. Not excited but surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 id wait til you know hes going to first be active on game day, and next be used before you use him in the same sentence as dallas clark. it could happen, but we are still far from having reason to believe it true. 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...
