I highly doubt he could be productive having not played for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTheTrust Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The way things worked out for us was pretty storybook, but come on. Fred has been done for quite a while. Take away all nostalgia and bias and there's no way we're even thinking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Would I love it if it happened? Yes. More likely and logically, we should sign Banyard or really coax DeAngelo Williams.

Royale with Cheese Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not smart to sign a 37 year old back who hasn’t played since 2015 and was below 4.0 ypc in 3 of his last 4 seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwater cadet Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I don't who else would be out there, but we are gonna need some one. There can't be anyone out there who's going to be much of a game changer, but if Freddy in shape, his legs should be fresh. I don't want him for 16 games, We only need 15 to 20 carries, few catches out of the backfield and no one pick up the blitz like him. Plus he will play with more passion then just about anyone, and certainly more then a street free agent back. Given a choice I'm taken Freddy over Tolbert 9 out 10 times.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I would consider at least tossing him a work out. I mean, he does give you a guy that can catch it out of the backfield and the jags are a physical front. You might be able to get 2 or 3 tough yard carries from him, where he could hit the hole quicker then Tolbert. And obviously you get the amazing PR. Fred and Kyle getting the playoff game. Even though, for once the Bills actually have some positive PR going on their own without a gimmic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm sure he could come in and pass protect like a madman, but that would be it. I think this situation calls for some serious strategy. I'm still at a loss about the Jonathan Williams situation, the kid was having a great camp, we just parked him on the practice squad, then Denver grabbed him and a few months ago the Saints signed him to a 2 year deal. I know roster spots are gold, and they felt Tolbert and Shady were enough, but we're at the point now where we're signing dudes off the street who have never seen our offense before. Saints must be laughing. They got our guy that we had all through camp/preseason and here we are in playoff time plugging in their castoffs Cadet and now Murphy in huge games, hoping they can learn enough in a few weeks. Whaley did the same thing (Boom Herron anyone?) maybe the GM's just feel a RB doesn't have to know that much to get up to speed right away. I'll say this, if we're going against the number one defense at home with Tolbert and Murphy as our lead RB's, our GM deserves a blow to the head. Who knows, maybe the Murph will light 'em up. We already know what Tolbert is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT02 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's a nice thought and it would be a great story but it would be a bad idea, the NFL is a young man's game. If McCoy is out and Murphy got injured that would leave us with Tolbert and Jackson at RB which wouldn't be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Almighty Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 DeAngelo Williams, Jennings, Mathews and Hillman seem to be the only choices out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being nostalgic has zero effect on anything relavant. The fans don’t make decisions. I think what Fred would bring to the team in the locker room and leadership wise would be more valuable than what another back could bring. If we bring in Matthews or Deangelo, they’d likely get a couple touches if that. Same with Fred. It wouldn’t be about what said player brings to the field of play, but how they could effect the team in any aspect. I think Fred being on the team would be valuable in this situation. I understand why some disagree and want no part of him, he’s been out of the league for 2 years, but I also understand how and why we’d want him on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
