love his attitude. Im sick of the Mr. Humble "just trying to be here and help my team mates out" pitch

 

"I know that I can perform and I can play on this level and I can play just as well as anybody who's been playing so far," Brown said Monday morning. "That's how I truly feel, but at the end of the day, I don't control who's active and who's not. Unfortunately it was me, but I don't want to focus on that because that's not important."'

I have been a huge fan of his since his college days.

 

Our O line is one of the largest and tallest in the league. This kid can generate HUGE yards and work a defense to exhaustion. The real question comes with the game plan generated by this coaching staff. Bryce could be the next big thing in Buffalo and that is hands down, talent, size, speed, and knows how to play this game. He had HUGE numbers in Philly as a rookie. Fumbles were a issue but something tells me that wont be the tale this time around

 

I got a good feeling this kid is our future and will put Jackson as backup for one for year or even 3rd behind Dixon. CJ, which I do love, has not lived up to his promise and is scared to run up the middle. I think Brown takes over RB for the Bills and brings excitement to this offense.... Which leads to confidence for the O-line....

 

 

Go Bills

I just drank some Kool-Aid with my lunch and I'm ready to make some BOLD PREDICTIONS!!! I'm feeling saucy...

 

BRYCE FREAKING BROWN -

 

This guy is going to be a stud. You heard it here first. Is there such a thing as Franchise RB? Because this guy is going to be it. If you don't know this guy's background, check it: he was an All-American as a Junior! He was the top rated runner in the country coming out of high school in 2008 and was the MVP of the All-American game. He was said to be the best RB talent since Adrian Peterson and the best player from Kansas since Barry Sanders. He didn't have much of a college career because he probably wasn't much of a student. He was actually considering playing in the CFL instead of college but gave college a try. This made him fall in the draft when he decided to come out early. But he looked GOOD filling in for McCoy in Philly and he's looked good in the pre-season with us. Ahhh I'm excited!

 

PREDICTIONS -

 

Brown is going to rip off somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 yards vs the Jets on Sunday. He will have 120+ vs the Chiefs. And he will only get better/more confident from there. He will solidify the starting RB spot and will end the season as our leading rusher and lead the team in TD's. He's young, fresh, and ready to prove himself. You don't usually have a guy with this much talent on your bench with fresh legs this late in the season. We are going to be asking "CJ Who?" in a few weeks. I've been excited about this guy for a while and now that I'm full of the kool-aid I can't contain my excitement anymore!

 

OK I just found my Ritalin...

 

I'm starting to chill out and come back to Earth now. This guy is raw. He has a lot of talent but he didn't really have a lot of experience in college and he hasn't been a starter since high school. Can he catch passes, can he pick up blitzers and make those important blocks? He also has had a problem hanging on to the ball. I think those are some of the reasons I think the Eagles didn't mind trading him away to us for a 4th round pick.

 

BUT I'M EXCTED!!! This is going to be fun to watch. If this works out then we have our RB of the future. Looking forward to Sunday. Go Bills! :)

Best game he ever had he fumbled twice. I believe I read that somewhere.

 

That is true. But he did rush for 178 yards on 19 carries, with 2 TDs. The next week he rushed for 169 yards and another 2 TDs. From a fantasy perspective, this is great. For the Bills, it could cost us a win (and it did in his second game).

 

Besides the fumbles, my concern is that Bryce played with a far better OL in Philly, even though they were missing Peters in 2012. He didn't look so hot with us in preseason. I think he can be electric and he definitely hits holes, or lack thereof with force unlike what we've seen from Spiller. Can't wait to see what happens on Sunday.

Are you taking issue with him not looking so hot or him hitting the holes? I didn't think he was hitting the holes in preseason. I realize now I should not have said "definitely" hits the holes, but he was doing a lot of that with Philly. I didn't analyze much of his work in preseason to see if it was him preemptively bouncing or our reserve OL just being terrible.

KDiggz - I'm not as confident as you that he will light it up against the front seven of the Jets, but he will begin to do well. Let's face it, Spiller is so frustrating as he has problems hitting the hole with negaitive plays, but then all of us get enamored with the 58 yard run. I like him, but believe he has just been used wrong, where if he was used more like a Sproles, he could be very effective.

 

My only jersey I've bought in 46 years is Fredex. He is so reliable and gets you the tough yards. I've said to friends since the summer, I love what Whaley did with bringing in 4 guys total as I cannot remember Spiller and Fred not getting hurt at times, as is normal with the position.

 

I expected at some point for the two workhorses to go down. I feel very confident our next two with Summers can possibly even improve on production as they are different backs. Dixon should be able to grind us out some tough yards. Brown should be explosive enough to have some breakout runs.

 

So I'm not drinking kool-aid, but do not believe our run game goes away just because we lost our two guys. These are not normal back ups where production dramatically decreases.

I lost CJ and Freddy in Fantasy Football, along with Ryan Mathews and his backup(Brown). I really hope this works out. I had no choice but to pick him up.

Yeah... Maybe you're cursing the RB's.

If Bryce gets injured, I want answers.

 

On a side note, I am not expecting much this weekend from Bryce. Maybe 5/6 attempts for 20-30 yards. 3 receptions for 30-40 yards.

Next week I think he puts up some decent numbers.

 

I am probably wrong though. Wouldn't be the first and it won't be the last.

 

Go Bills!
