Hammered a Lot Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I feel like I just lost 2 minutes of my life listening To a country bumpkin and somebody saying "Brah" 14 times. I heard him on the John Murphy Show recently. :thumbsup:

3rdand12 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 maybe i am the only one. besides Chan. I like Choice on the team. They released White finally and Tashard may not see the field much with our pair of Aces but he did a nice job when called upon fore a # 3. good solid value right there. Brah.

Love him on the team. As a 3rd RB I don't think you can get much better. As a motivational speaker?!?!? Maybe not so much. But hey, if the rest of the team gets pumps up, WTF do I care.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I've always felt the rah-rah and inspirational stuff is less important in pro sports and should be left to those who can actually pull it off (thus my opinion on the comments about Wanny coming down from the booth and motivating). I agree with mrags in that Gailey is really out of character IMO when he tries being inspirational. Can you imagine Bill Belichick, Wade Phillips or Tom Landry trying to be rah rah? A head coach should just be himself. Don't be someone you're not. If I was Chan I'd just be straightforward, factual, and encouraging. Remind the guys that they're 3-3 and that it's a step in the right direction but we want to be a winning team so anything less than a winning record isn't good enough. Remind the guys that the playoffs is the goal. Tell them they just beat a really good football team in their own backyard and that they have a lot to be proud of. Remind them of the 24 hour rule… feel good for 24 hours and then get back to the hard work of being a professional. Tell them you're proud of how they pulled together during the extended road trip. If you're gonna speak, speak as yourself and from the heart… don't try morphing into Knute Rockne… especially if you can't pull it off. As for Choice, I couldn't make out his whole spiel but it sounded more or less like something like that is supposed to sound. I guess it's ritualized behavior so someone's gotta do it but like I said, unless you're really gifted in that area better to not try to phony your way through it. JMO.
stevewin Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Looked like half of them did not give a shi*....100% serious Ha - was thinking the same thing - could practically see the eyes rolling on some. I think it's fine to have some emotion - one thing I keep thinking w/ Choice though is that there were incidents in training camp where he got into tussles w/ the defense who were sick of him running his mouth - I would bet there are some guys on D who don't care to have him represent them as their 'vocal leader'
3rdand12 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) yes i recall that Steve Whowas it he got p.o.d. It was training camp or pre season? Nothing wrong with getting the blood moving on a football team. He paid for it too didnt he. he went out for awhile i think Edited October 16, 2012 by 3rdand12

jumbalaya Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Why is Chan's play calling labeled as questionable? There is nothing questionable about it. It was pure stupidity.

We ride together, we die together!" Tashard Choice is really becoming the vocal leader of this team. It's a pretty cool thing to see. I'm becoming a big fan of this guy. Preach on! Go Bills!
DanInUticaTampa Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I was wondering who that was yelling. I like the guy, but his football role is so small. I do get a kick when he talks smack to opposing teams. Not that it means anything, it just humours me in a sad way.
outsidethebox Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Went to war? They are lucky they won that game! They had there moments in that game, but you can't play the cheatriots the way they played arizona and expect to win. Still glad they won a tough road game for a change. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BiggieScooby Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I'm all for Choice splitting carries with Fred until Fred shows he's 100%. That said I would like the Bills to make Spiller the man and start giving him 60% of the carries. Choice has put up some nice stats & ran hard vs Cleveland. You can never have too many running backs.
outsidethebox Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I am looking forward to Potters speech next week if they win.
Gray Beard Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I am confused in an unhappy way that Chan doesn't seem to acknowledge Choice's attempts to pump up the team. Why not give Choice a few extra carries? He's not as quick as Spiller or as slippery as Jackson, but he hits the hole hard, which is a pretty good way to run when you are playing a ball control type of offence. He is also a pretty good blocker.

He's got two, very, very, good RBs ahead of him on the depth chart that are already looking for/secretly pissed about the number of carries they are getting.
UticaBill Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I don't believe Fred and CJ are secretly pissed about the carries... I think the injuries that have occurred both this season and last gives them insight in the need for both roles, and an understanding that health may play the biggest role in those carries. OTOH I do agree that Choice gets no carries while both are active.... Edited October 17, 2012 by UticaBill
Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I no longer mind if a player talks "smack" about other teams before a game. It at least tells me he is putting some pride on the line, and won't coast. Even though Whitner sucked, at least I knew he was gonna put himself into the game. I have my doubts about other players doing that, for instance Mario Williams. I would be very excited to hear him guarantee a victory over the Pats or Jets. Then I know the guy is gonna show up. As an aside, is anyone gonna make a big deal out of Gailey comparing football to war? Edited October 17, 2012 by Geno Smith's Arm
