JoeF Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 So if you were coach for a day--what crazy personnel use idea would you implement for the 2008 Bills season...here's mine... Let me first preface this by saying that I thought I viewed in Fred Jackson the ability to make some plays last year on offense--he has good vision, decent field speed and a certain elusiveness. There is little doubt that the Bills will draft what they hope will become a #2 receiver in one of the first 3 picks in the draft. There is also a lot of history showing that rookie receivers take time to adjust to the precision and speed of the pro game. Marques Colston is the best example of a size receiver who blossomed early. The story is even more amazing when you consider that he came from Hofstra. So here's my crazy idea...on certain third downs and in goal line situations -- how about using Fred Jackson wide in the first part of the season while the rook gets their feet wet. I know Fred is a key third down substitute and this would be an added load on Marshawn but my guess is this is only a solution that will be needed until the bye week or so. Jackson is 6'1" 215-strong and good leaping ability...He needs to be on the field more and in different situations..after Lee, Roscoe and Marshawn, Fred is probably our greatest potential playmaker yet gets less snaps than even Roscoe...

Astrobot Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Draft Evan Moore in Round 6 (he's a big WR) and change him to a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ryan Denney to TE. Trent Edwards as the starting QB with expectations that he can carry a team to the playoffs deploying an offensive approach that Dick Jauron supports. That's a crazy idea, but one that is likely to be attempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Sylvan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Edwards and Losman each play a half a game, kind of like Warner and Leinart before Leinart's injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNW_Bills_Fan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Edwards and Losman each play a half a game, kind of like Warner and Leinart before Leinart's injury. We run a Jerry Glannville spread offense. The old run and gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In space no one can hear Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Instead of kicking a football, teams must now toss a midget through the goal post to earn an extra point. The midget must be drunk and be painted in Bills colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills7834 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Heck, how about hitting Roscoe with a quick slant pass? How about hitting any of our small quick WR's with a quick slant where they can use their speed? How about 5-10 screen passes to Lynch a game? How about passing on first down? Mainly, I think it would be crazy but it sure would be worth a try to run an offense that maybe surprised the opposing teams defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
