RayFinkle Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 We'll need a fullback now that they are cutting Beastmode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 At least three plausible explanations for re-signing him: He is a good special teams player. He is a good lead blocker and they want to keep at least one of those on the roster. The earlier comments by Schonert were a smoke screen. It's possible he'll be kept as a reserve and the Bills will actually be targeting a fullback in free agency or the draft. Leonard Weaver? Heath Evans?

Just sortof makes you wonder considering how seemingly unorganized our FO is I thought Fairchild started the no fullback policy, and they added one last year (the first year of Turk's regime). I might be wrong about that, though. Does anyone have a source where Turk definitively states they will go without a true fullback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 when did Turk have a no FB philosophy? It was Fairchild that had that and Turk abandoned last year when he became OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I got ya covered, BeerSphere... link Well done: It’s undecided whether the Bills will use a true fullback in the offense. Last year’s fullback, Corey McIntyre, is an unrestricted free agent. But his snaps waned the second half of the season as the Bills ran more out of two tight end sets. “Right now we’re evaluating our offense,” Schonert said. “We haven’t determined how much we’re going to use the fullback this year. We have some tight ends who you can put in the backfield as well. They’re versatile guys. All that evaluation is happening right now. I don’t know how much we’re going to use that guy and what type of guy that’s going to be.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That sounds about right. I don't think he proclaimed that he was dumping it, as the OP implied. Well, hey, when you can keep a talent like McIntyre in the fold you do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
