Coach Tuesday Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Everyone on our team was either born in Florida, went to Florida state, or played for the Fins. Our owner lives in Florida. I think it's a conspiracy A conspiracy against paying income taxes! And what about "Mike Diamond"? They can blast "Sabotage" every time he totes the rock.

NoSaint Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Oh, come on, Badol, Dizzy is a fantastic Berman-like nickname! Berman violated many rules of nicknaming Edited October 22, 2016 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I picked him up when shady looked like he was hurt in 49ers game. Well, at that moment I was in too much of a muted panic to think straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Berman violated many rules of nicknaming If you are trying to incorporate a random cultural reference you shouldn't have to phonetically alter the players last name to do it. Here is a good example of a Berman-type nickname: Brad "pop goes" Daluiso He was a powerful kicker so "pop" is referential to an action in his game and his last name fits phonetically with the cultural reference. Gillislee is a flat 3 syllables.......Gillespie is tiered......you have to change emphasis on the second syllable to make the reference work..........and why? Is he Dizzy? A goofy personality? A whirling dervish of a runner? No, no and no. Lastly........if it's lacking in all areas........would he at least like the nickname? I'ma say no.

Doc Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 My concern is that when he got the bulk of the carries against the Jets, his performance was dismal. But that was just one game and the OL is much better this year and the offensive scheme is better under Lynn. I'd still activate Shady but have Gilly start.

I really hope Shady is healthy enough to go tomorrow, but if not Dizzy can handle the duties if the OL continues to perform as they have in the last four games.

But will probably look a little better tomorrow with Mario on the bench and the ability to not worry about the passing game much.

But losing Reshad Jones will more than negate any effect replacing Mario will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If the OL is on their game Sunday, Dizzy will be very effective with the assumption that Shady is out. Should get more carries regardless. Agreed and agreed. get Bush in there too , motion him out , to keep them honest. Rest up Shady! Let Dizzy get his reps in with J Will and Bush spelling him. We can win this one even with the injuries. I Billieve in us. I predict Powell and Clay will have big games in the air with another few plays by TouchDown Hunter and some bombs to Goodwin What a homer of a move!! Love it! I hope we rest Shady, we can win this one without him, and we need him 100% for the playoff push. Agree. Still rather rest our best offensive player and get him 100% for when **** gets real! I am fine with this thinking (bolded ) and pretty much all the rest of the post As usual, you are correct Badol easy NS. He gets puffed easily. But on this one Occasion. I agree. Dizzy Dean Dizzy Gillespie perhaps. Touchdown Mike works for me rolls of the tongue with vim and vigor My concern is that when he got the bulk of the carries against the Jets, his performance was dismal. But that was just one game and the OL is much better this year and the offensive scheme is better under Lynn. I'd still activate Shady but have Gilly start. I would like to see the differences from last year to this if he has to "carry" the load sooner than later Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWinPlease Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 His first Bills carry went for a 30-yard gain. Gillislee would total three rushing touchdowns (from 50, 60 and 19 yards out) and three receiving touchdowns over the Bills’ final five games, earning the nickname “Touchdown Mike” from teammates. His nickname is "Touchdown Mike," where the hell did "Dizzy" come from? That's lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I like this one.......but the Bills have spoken and they call him TD Mike or TDMG. Dizzy doesn't work, it violates many rules of nicknaming. We named him Dizzy after seeing his last name misspelled Gillespie for the @#$th time. 26CB made the motion, I seconded, and the motion was carried. If you are trying to incorporate a random cultural reference you shouldn't have to phonetically alter the players last name to do it. Here is a good example of a Berman-type nickname: Brad "pop goes" Daluiso He was a powerful kicker so "pop" is referential to an action in his game and his last name fits phonetically with the cultural reference. BTW, Berman's nickname for Daluiso was Dom. C'mon man, do your @#$%ing research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I wouldn't. Edit: I'm not. Which lineup you prefer? Ryan Murray Td Mike Julio Crowder Marquise lee Gronk Tampa Or Ryan Murray Jac Rodgers Aj green Crowder Hunter (bills) Gronk Tampa Im leaning towards the second with Aj green The only reason being i know fhat Rodgers is gonna carry 100% of load vs 49ers And aj green and julio may be a wash.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Let him get into the flow of the running game and don't abandon the gameplan. @NickVeronica If LeSean McCoy's out, Mike Gillislee will start. He's been "limited" this wk but really just got the back of his foot cut up by new cleats. And since he got treatment from the medical staff to help with the irritation, they have to list him. But he says he's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
