And Fred Jackson carrying the ball in Buffalos backfield. Some things never change... even with Hurricane Rex sweeping through Western New York.

Beef Jerky Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The down field blocking was perfect on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes!!! I know this thread is focusing on Fred, and yes I'm super excited at what he's done and continues to do in Buffalo.... I really want to mention how excited I am that this team didn't give up on Easley! It wasn't an easy start to a career that he had, and with all the trash picks we were making in that era (and coaching turnover), he could have easily (no pun intended) been sent home prematurely... While he hasn't ever shown to be the stud WR for this team- he's been a great teammate, blocker, and special teamer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSOL Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) It can't be said enough, about all the talented RB's the front office has brung in, that through them all, Fred Jackson still survives. It's been one after another, highly touted RB's, yet the heart and soul, for so long , has been Freddy. He really is one of the all time great Buffalo Bills!

Dragonborn10 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I think I was wrong about Freddy not making the team. I hope he holds up during the season. But I think McCoy and Williams are the two best backs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The down field blocking was perfect on that play.Yes, Easley's pancake on the safety allowed Fred access to the sideline -as well as Mulligan, Clay & even Goodwin sealing off the LB's on backside. But the gaping hole was compliments of Wood mashing 2 Steelers into Glenn while Incognito pulled to help seal the backside. Fred wasn't touched til he got tripped up at the 5. A younger Fred scores on that run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Fred still showing some chops and until further notice he's the best blocker in pass protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'In years' huh? Do remember last seasons Opener? Yes, if you can recall anything from Fred's career, you'd know he was faster than he is now. There are viewpoints other than yours that support this -including the Pegula's, who went public early this year in their support. But you'd have to remember that too..

The Big Cat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hmnn watch-out a younger back scores easily on the hole ?Shady, Bryce, Karlos. Good for Fred . One of his longest runs in years. The blocking on that play was superb...but, as always, so was Freddy's vision. I see a lot of people diminishing his effort because of the space he had to run through. Well, Fred is, and always has been a GD expert at FINDING that space on the run. CJ Spiller would have been bottled up for a 2-3 yards on that play.

Maury Ballstein Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 But I think McCoy and Williams are the two best backs now. Uber premature on the Karlos Williams > Freddy take. Let's see him gain 1 yard in an NFL game first. He was barely the best RB at FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 keep doubting Fred. all he has done his whole life is prove people wrong. he didn't even start on his high school team. the guy lives to prove doubters wrong so why should this year be any different?

bacarri and coke Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) The reason Fred had an off year last year was solely because he was running behind a soup kitchen for an offensive line.The man has the best vision of almost any back I can think of.Did you see Rex's expression after Fred scored that TD.....you can see him thinking how did I almost doubt this man.

Had half his season total last night . Other than that run through a gapping hole I still saw the same OLD Fred.Good for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaping TD must have really pissed you off too. Looks like he's making the team and you'll just have to deal with it. Sucks to be you.

Fred had the vision to see the hole to his left, and it's 50/50 or better CJ would have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
