Nanker Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 They're throwing more to Sammy, Percy, and Shady and Karlos are carrying the ball most of the time. Oh, wait a minute... never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I asked that exact same question yesterday...make no sense as i dont think he plays teams and seems to miss the first block all the time looking to get to 2nd level. I understand that is the design of the play, but if the play is blowed up, cant you make an adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Seems like a disconnect between GM and coaching staff on scheme... I can understand the signing going into the season, because the running game was supposed to be the focal point of the offense. Doesn't seem so thus far even when Shady is on the field. Felton's utilization thus far makes his presence on the 53 puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountDorkula Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He's been on the field in almost every snap under center. That's what he specializes in. He lead the way for AP, and his 2,000 yard season. Why not use him more to help your o-line or help in pass block? Its not like we currently have WR's to get on the field.

snafu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Was wondering this all during the game yesterday when they would put the camera on Rex and Felton was just standing there behind him. Did Whaley tell Rex and Roman that he was spending a few million bucks to bring in Felton? What was their answer? When all of the running backs got hurt and they brought in retreads, wouldn't it have been wise to have Felton block for these guys? You know - make their lives easier a little bit?

Nuncha Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Been wondering the same thing - we went after this guy in free agency, paid him bucks to come here...... to sit on the bench. I thought he came here to be McCoy's lead blocker....? Another big disappointment of this season. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12461751/buffalo-bills-sign-fullback-jerome-felton Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but in Felton's introductory news conference Wednesday, he said it was a four-year deal. The Buffalo News reported it's worth $9.2 million, with $4 million guaranteed, over the four years. Edited October 26, 2015 by Azucho98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a question of what his contract is. It is instead a question of why he's even on the team with such a limited role and snap count.

It is instead a question of why he's even on the team with such a limited role and snap count. Because he's impacting a full quarter of our offensive plays, and is the best in business at what he does. Clearly someone is going to have to play his role in that 25% of our offense, why not have the best guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is instead a question of why he's even on the team with such a limited role and snap count. 25% of snaps is more than most of the roster, if pay has nothing to do with it.

Clearly someone is going to have to play his role in that 25% of our offense, why not have the best guy? right - if carrying a fullback, i dont care if they spend $1m extra and get who they think is the BEST, instead of saving a little for the 7-8th guy. its not a huge role but somebody is going to fill it, and even felton is filling it pretty cheaply.
