GG Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 That's overstating. Brown has had some very good games in the NFL. He racked up 170 yards rushing in back-to-back games in 2 starts as a rookie. He had another 100-yard game backing up Shady in his sophomore campaign. In his only game as the Bills' feature back last year, he had 100 yards from scrimmage on 13 touches. The KC game is where he finally had decent production, but he had earlier chances to grab a hold of the spot and couldn't beat out Boobie. It's also why they rushed Freddie back from injury. But I'm much more comfortable with Carlos as backup and would have been more furious if Bills cut Freddie to keep Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Fred and Marshawn REUNITED. And it feels so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So two dumped Bills RBs in Seattle. Quite the story should the hawks win the SB. Love FredEx to get a ring for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're going to be disappointed. I expect Shady, Karlos, Boobie, and Bryce all to make this roster, along with one FB (Felton). Those are your five RBs.

Dave in Avon Lake now Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was very disappointed losing Fred yesterday. He was such a class act through all those losing years. I'd hate to have to face him this year, but it would be the Superbowl so I guess I would take my chances against Fred and Marshawn and that defense. Maybe they can send Kam Chandler our way as a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cocktosten Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I would bet anything that if Seattle also had Karlos, Boobie and Bryce as backups to Marshawn, they would not be signing Fred. Turbin just isn't very good. It's like the '72 Dolphins all over again! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Certainly makes one question the motives of the decision makers. You lie like a rug, Son. It doesn't make you question the motives. You have already made up your mind what the motives are, and are just happy to run into any ideas that bolster your notions. The fact that other people might look at what Seattle's RB roster depth is before questioning, is just one more symptom of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, an opinion that isn't goose stepping with the regime is considered lying? Wake up, boy. We have an injured 5th rd draft pick and two bums backing up McCoy. Ask yourself this: If BOOBY or BRYCE were waived you think Pete Carroll is flying them out to Seattle on the next flight out to sign? Not a chance in hell.

The fact that other people might look at what Seattle's RB roster depth is before questioning, is just one more symptom of this. My thoughts are this, Seattle didn't pick Fred, Fred picked Seattle. He could have gone almost anywhere, from some of the reports I heard yesterday. His phone started ringing off the hook the moment the news broke. Whatever that's worth, I don't know. I'll let you optimists get back to planning your championship parties. Edited September 1, 2015 by mastershake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...because neither of them are the "calming influence" they're looking to provide for Lynch. "As the source explained it to PFT, the primary factor in the mutual interest between the Seahawks and Jackson is the pre-existing relationship between Jackson and starting tailback Marshawn Lynch, based on their time together with the Bills. Having Jackson in the locker room will provide the private, reclusive Lynch with another confidant, along with the comfort of knowing Jackson has Lynch’s back." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/01/relationship-with-marshawn-lynch-drives-fred-jackson-to-seattle-visit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly nothing we could use. Or they want a guy that Lynch is familiar with to give him a confidant, just as it says right there in the article. You don't have to like this move; that doesn't mean that it doesn't make perfect sense for the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshawn was actually pissed when they moved on fromPercy Harvin, they were friends. They want him happy and controlled. Fred is perfect, and can still play.

Certainly nothing we could use. Actually we have a ton of leadership here without Fred, and we don't have a guy in Marshawn who is a total enigma and difficult to deal with. And don't say McCoy who's only similarity to Marshawn in that respect is that he says what's on his mind sometimes that people don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
