justnzane Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Per the front page of TBD a couple articles have stated that Shelton is on IR and they activated George Wilson. Does this mean that Cieslak is the starting FB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Looks like George Wilson is movin' on up! Hopefully he gets to play and show what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that Cieslak is the starting FB? This is the most devastating news the Bills have had in decades. Props to Cieslak, he will start at FB next year I predict. Maybe Wilson will have a breakout 13 catch 234 yard game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 shucks, no more false starts from the fullback position for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I would guess this also means his Bills career is over as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I would guess this also means his Bills career is over as well Pretty much, considering he's been inconsistent, injured, and his contract was up at the end of this year.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It should have been over prior to the regular season! They tried, but Ricard wasn't healthy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaLee83 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It should have been over prior to the regular season! Oooohhh while I totally agree be careful what you say about Shelton around here. I started a "release Shelton" thread prior to the start of the season and I got seriously flamed hardcore for it. Shelton is the 2nd coming to some of the people around here. I seem to remember reading quotes like "I dare you to find a better blocking fullback in the NFL right now" and sh_t like that. Shelton played horribly this year, all of Willis' decent runs were in the single back set. His false start penalties and virtual worthlessness as an offensive producer should spell his non re-signing. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this too, here's a pre-emptive apology to all of Shelton's boyfriends on TBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaLee83 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 They tried, but Ricard wasn't healthy enough. Which blew my mind because Ricard had a slightly better pre-season than Shelton did. Maybe an attitude problem or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in SC Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Prediction: Shelton will be back. We can't do any better without using up (a needed) 3rd round draft choice. Live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Shelton won't be back. I'll make a gentlemen's bet with you on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about working with Cieslak as a FB? It might kill two birds with one stone. A mult-threat fullback is an odd find in the NFL. The receiving skills are already in place, he runs tight routes and I'm sure with some work he could learn how to push forward and gain a few yards.
