Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 http://www.billsdaily.com/news/index.shtml#031407 Thomas May Be Feature Guy: Dick Jauron said he would be fine with going into the season with Anthony Thomas as the feature back. Jauron's comments came after Thomas signed a two year deal worth over $1 Million. Jauron did say he would like to use more then one back and has not ruled out getting another back in free agency. He does however seem to be leaning more towards the draft for more running back help. Look for the Bills to take a back on day one of the draft. The only big backs left in free agency is Chris Brown and Corey Dillon. Brown visited with the Bills and there has been some reported talks with his agent. Dillon has cancelled a visit to Buffalo feeling they may not be a good fit for him. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE A-TRAIN AS OUR #1 RB. He deserves it. I don't understand why people here seem to be turning their back on Thomas after we called out Jauron to start him instead of McGahee in the final 2 games. WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET A RB WITH THE FIRST PICK! We will in the 3rd. Michael Bush???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I will say this i love a train i think he is solid player and certenly capable of being the guy, but i do think we need someone other than shaud williams getting goaline carries and splitting time with him, so a back at #12 or later if we trade down would not surprise me nor would i be against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET A RB WITH THE FIRST PICK! amen to that! I'd take this guy over Willis anyday of the week! He plays with more heart than most of the RBs in the league. Can you say Patrick Willis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I wouldn't trust any comments coming out of NFL organizations given that it's a month before the draft, even the Bills. Tis' the season of disinformation. They could be saying this because they want Green Bay thinking the Bills aren't going RB in the first round. The Bills brass my be paranoid about Green Bay or any other team trading up to get Peterson (if he fell) or Lynch. I know there's a lot of fans here on this board that want Willis or Okoye but the Bills may in fact be seriously thinking of taking a RB before those positions.

apuszczalowski Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have a feeling what the Bills are planning is drafting a RB in the first 2 rounds and have them play for the starting spot over A-Train I do believe that this pretty much eliminates all possibilities of seeing Brown or Dillon a Bill, not that I mind at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I like atrain but let's get real. Limited backs with no speed that aren't big play threats, and can't bounce runs outside offering very little in terms of receiving ability don't make #1 rb's. With that said Atrain is a great #2 type back to have who can wear defenses down. I love Michael Bush but in the 2nd no way in hell he's there in the 3rd.

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I say have the A-Train as the number 1 guy until he's out of town in 2 years, and start who ever the rookie is going to be after a-train leaves. Like in New Orleans Reggie Bush is a "FREAK OF NATURE" but while have mcalister in the load have bush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Draft day posturing, nothing more...What do you expect Jauron to say? "We fully expect to draft a RB day one of the draft, so everybody drafting behind us, you had better trade up and f-ck us out of our potential pick."

"We fully expect to draft a RB day one of the draft, so everybody drafting behind us, you had better trade up and f-ck us out of our potential pick." I agree. If anything, they're tipping their hand that they WILL be taking a RB with their first pick. Maybe they should just zip it shut till it's their turn to make a selection.

If they sound like they need to sign someone, the agents for the veterans use that against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paup 1995MVP Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I say have the A-Train as the number 1 guy until he's out of town in 2 years, and start who ever the rookie is going to be after a-train leaves. Like in New Orleans Reggie Bush is a "FREAK OF NATURE" but while have mcalister in the load have bush 2 Duece McCalister has much more natural ability than A-Train. That being said with a solid o line in front of him, the A train should be productive getting 10 plus carries a game. We still will need to draft the brakeaway speed back to make our running game multi dimensional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Put down the crack pipe is an understatement if you want Thomas starting. STOP SNIFFING CLUE!!!!!! I'm sorry, this crap has gotta stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Watch the interview with Jauron at bb.com-- he really didn't say that Thomas will be #1 -- he did say they are looking to add one or two more players at the position--keeping their options open and that he feels that running back by committee is the way to go. He did say he absolutely thinks highly of Thomas' ability and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'd be very surprised if we took a RB in the 1st round. I think we are leaning towards a defensive pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
