DC Greg Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) WTF is a Phillip Tanner? Edit: Oh snap! He was that guy that got his helmet tore off and ran for a TD in the preseason a couple years ago. Nice!

BRAWNDO Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Had 21 ST Tackles last season, probably will replace Boobie there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Had 21 ST Tackles last season, probably will replace Boobie there. exactly - thats why they brought this guy in - give boobie the day(s) off on special teams and be the insurance RB in case something happens to the Brown Boobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Middle Tennessee State. Average sized back with good burst. Goods hands. Some ST ability. Often exposes ball. Played with Dallas and had one of those preseason games where he raised some eyebrows. That's all I could find. Let's hope his number is rarely called.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Active roster? Who was released? We don't know yet with no official announcement from the Bills. Maybe it's Jordan Gay?

boyst Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We don't know yet with no official announcement from the Bills. Maybe it's Jordan Gay? This makes sense. I'm not ready to cut Gay, yet. The winds were pretty bad. I would hope we keep him another 2 or 3 weeks then put him on the PS, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 RB Tanner with some parallels to Fred Jackson By no means are we indicating that Bills newest RB Phillip Tanner is the next Fred Jackson. What we have found though is that Tanner has some interesting personal parallels with the veteran back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
