DisplacedBillsFan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was actually hoping GB would give us a call about Freddie and the real Spiller era would begin with White as the change of pace and short yardage back. The guy runs so physical and hard. And, don't get me wrong about Freddie. I love the guy and have always been a huge fan, but as they say, it's a business. At the end of the day our best chance to win is Spiller touching the ball 20 to 25 times a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Astobot...are you referring to that packers o line that allowed 8 sacks in 30 minutes of football a couple weeks back?...the bills o-line is very good, even with backups. Check the rushing stats over there in Green Bay, no where near as good as ours. And it's not just the rb talent..buffalos oline is better than green bays.

FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think he will be the best RB we have let go in a long time. Have you been sleeping under a rock the last decade? Bell Travis Henry Marshawn 'Hit and Run' Lynch Willis McGahee Etc etc. Isn't is a bit early to be calling JW the best?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Have you been sleeping under a rock the last decade?

We seem to eat our young...imagine if McGahee had never been a Bill, and we signed him as a FA...people in Buffalo would love him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was actually hoping GB would give us a call about Freddie and the real Spiller era would begin with White as the change of pace and short yardage back.

At the end of the day our best chance to win is Spiller touching the ball 20 to 25 times a game. I really disagree with this opinon (many people hold it so it's not you I'm criticizing). To me, with a guy of Spiller's build at this level of athletes, you quickly run into a law of diminishing returns. I think you run the risk of wearing him down and overburdening him. The idea that more touches doesn't translate into a better play mix. I loved the workload split in this last game against Arizona. Aside from his fumble, I liked that Freddy ran for good hard, honest yards and I think the change of pace between Jackson's and Spiller's styles is an excellent mix.

GG Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Am I the only one who's been underwhelmed by White? He's looked plainly pedestrian every time he's touched the ball. No big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You complain about 2 kickers and 4 QBs but want to keep 6 RBs? PTR Typical Bills fan right there haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Buffalo Feet Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 White is average. We've had a lot better 4th string-type backs through here that we've let go--like Joique Bell and Lionel Gates. But even so, not sure what Dorin Dickerson has done to justify his roster spot yet... Joique Bell I believe is playing good for Detroit now... Good back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhg Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Speaking of which, what has become of Starks? Is he injured? Have not seen him all season. He's been injured. Finally played in last weekends game, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 http://blogs.buffalo...claim-rb-white/ Hate to see him go. He didn't get on the field a whole bunch, but was solid depth. This decision to carry two kickers and four quarterbacks can hurt depth at other positions and here's an example. C'mon, man. You have to give TJax a year or more to figure out the playbook.

Beerball Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 He'll do better behind the Packers' O-Line than our banged-up excuse of a line. Our line now is Levitre-Wood. Observe the blocks on Spiller's 33-yard run! http://www.buffalobi...48-8ba276ece5de Good luck, Johnny! Levitre darn near took his guy off the field, then he continued down the field looking for someone to hit. Quality, absolute quality. I'd still like to see a big bruising, ice-the-game kind of back. Yeah, someone in the mold of Marshawn Lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Basically, we get Merriman for White. Howell and White were released. Merriman and Howell are re-signed. Seems like a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Front Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Speaking of running backs, has anyone noticed how often Fred Jackson has run out of bounds when he gets close to the sideline lately? In years past, Freddie would always drop his shoulder and try to pick up a few more yards. It was that extra effort which made Bills fans admire him. He seems pretty average out there this year.
