Fred gets respect from all the fans in the NFL. Anyone who thinks they cut Fred for Bryce is a fool Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Special teams were a huge part of us staying in and/or winning games last season. With a vastly improved offense, we may not need quite as much help from the special teams, but the sport remains a three-phase sport. Dixon has proven to be reliable enough when called on to run the ball and has also proven to be a major asset on teams. Brown has proven to be unreliable, even if the ceiling as a back is higher. Boobie's status will probably depend on how well Karlos does in TC. If he can do what Boobie does, there'd be little reason to keep Boobie around. In the end, I see only two backs getting most of the snaps, anyway. McCoy and Fred as long as their healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third back if its Boobie or Karlos will likely have some short yardage work. I still think if Boobie can show that he could at a pinch play fullback if Felton goes down in a game (and thereby avoid half their playbook going out of the window) that goes in his favour of making the roster. I still see them keeping 4 backs plus a full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I agree. Boobie may not be the number 3 back, but I feel as if Roman wants versatility (and yes I know he cut Boobie in SF).i have no idea but it's at least possible that he wanted to keep him and it was Harbaugh or Baalke's decision. He didn't get cut though - he signed with the Bills as a FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I agree. Boobie may not be the number 3 back, but I feel as if Roman wants versatility (and yes I know he cut Boobie in SF). It kind of depends upon how much influence Bobby April gets over the roster, not? In theory, it should be recognized that ST is a big part of the game and you keep a core group of people who can really get it done there (Easley, Boobie, maybe one more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dixon averaged 4.1 ypc to Brown's 3.5. The Brown hype is unreal. Dude has had like 4 good games since high school. Dixon plays STs as well. I think he makes the team. He doesn't just "play" special teams, he excels at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
