UB2SF Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Early indications from this summer are that Marshawn and Fred are going to be used more in the passing game, and not just on screens and swing passes, but downfield as well. By "early indications", I'm referring to two things in particular: 1. In Donte Whitner's blog on Yardbarker (an entertaining read, by the way: click here), he says the following: "this yr it wont just be Marshawn, Freddie is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen so look forward to a two headed RB/WR duo and thats all Im going to say about them you'll have to just wait and se it on your own". RB/WR duo?? 2. In the camp reports, there have been lots of mentions of Trent hitting Fred and Marshawn downfield (10 yards, 20 yards, 30 yards). I don't know what Turk has in mind, but I'm picturing both ML and FJ lined up in the backfield from time to time, with various possible plays to be called. A run to one or the other. One or both of them releasing on pass patterns. Play-action to one and a pass to the other. Sounds like a nightmare to defend, which could soften up the middle of the field for post patterns or crossing routes to Evans, Hardy, Parrish, Schoumann, etc. by forcing linebackers or safeties to spy on ML and FJ.

Thoughts? As long as Peters is present I can see the Bills having the ability to run these types of plays. This may be the first season in which the Bills aren't confined to using a TE or RB to block on passing plays, the O-line is good enough to stand up on it's own. Fairchild also stated that he was going to use the RB's more in the passing game but never did, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does one do if the erection lasts longer than 4 hours? Aaaah, a condition known as priapism. Named for the Greek (or Roman, who cares?) demi-God Pripus whose punishment for promiscuous behavior was a giant, unwieldy wooden penis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Imagine the possibilities...Standard 2 back, 2 WR, 1 TE set, but have fred and marshawn motion into the slot positions, and all of a sudden you have a 4 WR set with extreme mismatches with LBs trying to cover those 2.

If both or even either of them could learn how to block decently, so there is a similar threat to power run from that formation, it really would be a nightmare. It sounds like Marshawn is at least trying. I will wait and see. I love the idea of throwing the ball downfield to either of them, as well as having them both in the backfield at times and then splitting either or both of them out. It seems so obvious.

Are you listening, Steve? Obvious indeed! Living in the Bay Area, I saw most of Marshawn's college games at Cal on local TV. Honestly, the first couple times I saw him in action, I wasn't sure if he was an RB or a WR, because in Jeff Tedford's pro-style offense, Marshawn would often line up in the slot or out wide. The guy's got lots of experience in that hybrid role. And with Fred's productivity catching the ball in relief of Marshawn last year, he's obviously got a knack for it too.
