Beerball Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 We'll have to see how this turns out. He B&Md his way out of Dallas last year. Tuna didn't give him the playing time he thought he deserved (if memory serves was inactive several games) so he got cut. Hope he has a little something left in the tank.

RuntheDamnBall Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Love that 2.1 YPC last year. That should really fit in well around here. 672817[/snapback] I can't believe Mularkey didn't get to him first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I am just not understanding folks on this board for a while now.... Anthony Thomas is not being brought in to be a starter.....we have a workhorse in Willis Magehee who will need a blow every now and then.... He is a veteran, experienced, "gotten it done" rb who isn't too light for the position (aka Shawd Williams) who could come in and do some damage while Willis is getting a breather...... What is the friggen problem....same with the Reyes thing. There were people on this board that were begging the bills mgt to sign him not to long ago....now people feel there is a need to tear him apart......

Lurker Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 He is a veteran, experienced, "gotten it done" rb 673094[/snapback] By that, do you mean 2.1 yards at a time? I'd put more faith in Gates, having never set foot in an NFL game, than A-Train on his 4th team in the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were people on this board that were begging the bills mgt to sign him not to long ago....now people feel there is a need to tear him apart...... 673094[/snapback] It's pretty simple really. No good players want to come to Buffalo, so if we signed him, then he must suck. Alternatively, if he's so good, why didn't any of the other 31 teams sign him? At the very least he won't be able to play up to the insanely high contract offer we gave him. After all, if our offer wasn't insanely high, then why didn't someone else outbid us? Wall mentality in a nutshell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Marv's a busy man. I really like what he is doing. Thomas' contract is for a year, so it's a show and prove. Willis will have a veteran guy who has been the man for a team and rushed over 1,000 yards giving him a little push. Plus, it is a veteran who can give him some advice (I highly doubt Travis did this). A rb rotation of Willis, Thomas, and Gates or Williams is pretty solid. Now only if Marv didn't re-sign Reed, he might be working on a solid B+ grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I can't believe Mularkey didn't get to him first. 673013[/snapback] Didn't they go after him last year, but Dallas signed him first?

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Does anyone know why we didnt make Maurice Morris an offer or did we and he turned it down. From what I heard he didnt seem to interested in being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I like the Atrain signing. My biggest issue with him, is he has always been very out-spoken about never wanting to play special teams. I believe that a backup running back has got to help out where ever possible and that includes ST's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalfan Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I guess it won't take long to find out which of the offensive line candidates can open holes. After having A-train run into you a couple of times, I suspect the good ones will step right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf Fub Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 John Clayton is reporting we signed Anthony Thomas to a one year deal. A Train If true, I like it. He'll make a good back up. Plus, we won't need to spend a draft pick on a RB now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
