Kelly the Dog Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Question: Does anyone know if the Eagles played a FB with McCoy? Reason I ask is that there are some RBs that perform better with a FB and others do better as a lone back. For some it doesn't matter. Concern is that if McCoy has not run with a FB before, how he will adjust to one. You're not going to pay Shelton this much money and not use him. Before Kelly got there and Marty Morinweg was the OC in Philly they had fullbacks. Didn't use them all the time but they played in all the games.

Peter Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Apparently, he told Shady that life just got easier for him. I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 As Joe Chenelly just pointed out, all four of the latest Bills signings have gone to the Pro Bowl: Incognito, Shady, Cassell, Felton, and a fifth, Harvin, is in the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 @NickelCityBills: According to NFLGSIS, the Vikings averaged 6.1 yards per rush with Felton on the field and 4.6 without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 the Bills have 3 QB's Please don't try. Some just can't be disabused of that notion. As Joe Chenelly just pointed out, all four of the latest Bills signings have gone to the Pro Bowl: Incognito, Shady, Cassell, Felton, and a fifth, Harvin, is in the building. And remarkably, we're just treading water and haven't improved at all over last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Whether McCoy is used to a blocking fullback or not, the Felton signing should at least mean some holes get opened for him. Shades of Braxton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crowing Rooster Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Well at least he can block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Here is some video of Jerome Felton. I didn't want to start a new thread and get yelled at lol. He is going to fit well into our offense and also seems very intelligent. Additioinally, I caught another video when he was in Detroit running a seam route. He seems versitle and maybe another reason Chandler was let go. http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Film-Room-Felton-On-Blocking-For-Peterson/3205e828-a0f4-4025-aed1-ef3acf523d5d Edited March 12, 2015 by billsfan_34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a fan favorite I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So we're basically going to be running 50 times a game, and passing 10 times?The 49ers threw 30 passes a game last year. You move the ball and get first downs you have a lot more series. I think we will be throwing enough although not all over the field. The fact that Clay and Harvin are seriously considering signing here tells you they are going to throw the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wasn't that kinda of the problem with the 49ers? Kaepernick shouldn't be a pocket passer and it was a flaw to make him one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
