Gus Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi, UK NFL fan over here, just dropped by this forum to see the reaction to Wade's try, oops sorry - touchdown! lol. I've been watching Wade score tries for fun for the past 10 years. He never quite made it as a regular international player over here (the elite band) due to his height, which is a weakness at his position of wing in rugby (he's bad at contesting high kicked balls, which is part of playing defence on the wing, so oppositions would just relentlessly target him with high balls at the elite level). This is part of the reason why he left to play NFL. Anyways, point is, as a RB or returner, he doesn't have to do any of that, and this guy carries oval balls like the Queen carries grace - he's for real, trust me. The guy is going to make tacklers look stupid, and a whole bunch of us over here are going to be rooting for this bloke, and the Bills! yes yes Christian Mate lets do this go Bills! 20 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the handoff like he was playing on the pitch and ran with it like he was on the pitch and clear. Dude did great and I was impressed with his raw skill and talent for a different sport. I want this guy to be successful. I am solidly a fan of Wade and want him on the team. I noticed that as well. Very upright runner with the ball on his right pec and right hand firmly over it. No movement at all! No ball shift, no elbow swing, NOTHING! Just clamp it and go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) If he goes on the practice squad he can’t come off it. This gives the Bills an entire year to refine his abilities and truly learn the game. I’d definitely store him for the year.

TAinLack. Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Wade & Singletary were very entertaining tonight! Yeldon, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I don't see where he muffed anything. He put his foot in the turf and was gone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Rc2catch said: I’m not sure one run against the grocery baggers on the colts puts him in rotation in the regular season. It was a great run and an even better story for the NFL and the international program they’re trying to work. I’m rooting for the guy but as stated above he’s perfect to chill on the practice squad for a year and really learn this game Agree. It was a great way to start but maintain perspective. If I understand his deal the Bills have him locked up for a year. No other team can claim him. So stash him and let him get acclimated to the NFL game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 6 hours ago, Seoulful Soul said: That 65 TD run was an absolute thing of beauty. Textbook counter, hit the hole, through the seam, and untouched for 65 years. If he can do that on kickoffs and punts. . .damn, what a possibility for a returner! He must be real fast if he isn't gonna be touched for 65 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Dude is 28 years old. He was exciting on that run and is a great athlete, but Father Time is not on his side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So pleased for Christian. One of my mates played England 7s with him and says he is a great guy. Love to see them give him a shot on the PS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Nice run! I can't see him making the team though, maybe he PS if t hey see enough. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummieWasp Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Good to see CW score his first TD; though not a competitive game. We seriously missed him at Wasps through the second half of last season. Our loss is Bills' gain. Wish him all the best in pursuing his dream. I'll follow Buffalo's progress this season - even if CW doesn't get a spot on the roster. Edited August 9, 2019 by BrummieWasp 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeldon looked disinterested He came here thinking he'd get an opportunity with 2 old ass running backs on roster. Looking back, prob thinks he should have signed somewhere else. No chance to beat out Singletary, and McCoy and Gore are going to get a bunch of carries too. Hes looking like the odd man out. Sidenote: his body language on that fumble was terrible. I know its only preseason, but look a little mad that you just cost your team a score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuddyDark Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Did he muff it or did he take it like a Rugby handoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I also think he ran the wrong way - looks like the play was designed to go left and after muffing the handoff he cut it back to daylight. But still, those wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
