HOUSE Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) When looking for strengths on the Buffalo Bills‘ roster, the first position you’ll probably wind up at is running back. The Bills have more talent and depth in their backfield than perhaps at any other position. Even before 2014, the Bills had a pair of studs in Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, but they bolstered the position by adding Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon this offseason. Those four make up a backfield that is as deep and talented as any in the NFL.

K-9 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Uh-oh. Better not let mrags see this. He says Brown will have wrestled the starting job away from Spiller by mid-season. GO BILLS!!!
HOUSE Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks I will fix... Someone always gets dinged up. I completly agree, I think he might play A LOT.....
mrags Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Uh-oh. Better not let mrags see this. He says Brown will have wrestled the starting job away from Spiller by mid-season. GO BILLS!!! already saw it. I really think more on the lines that CJ will just be injured again and that will effect his terrible play this season.
K-9 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 already saw it. I really think more on the lines that CJ will just be injured again and that will effect his terrible play this season. So Brown will have backed into replacing CJ due to injury but not because he's a better player. Thanks for clearing that up. GO BILLS!!!
Max997 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I still think Dixon is going to end up getting more carries that most people think
Beerball Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 If they don't use him much he'll be pissed !!! 4 solid backs, 2 are holdovers, one a FA signing and the 4th acquired via trade. We had the most carries last season & it will be more of the same this coming season. Additions to the o-line, additions to the backfield...gonna be some ground pounders.
John from Riverside Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I just dont want to see a running back limping around the field and playing......ever Someone gets dinged up.....get him off the field and heal......REALLY HEAL.....no RBs playing with high ankle sprains that affect their play.....drove me insane last year that we were not seeing the real CJ Spiller
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 It's not just CJ that gets hurt every year, Fred-Ex does too, tough as he is. As much as it sucked watching CJ limp around and duck out of bounds constantly it was a lot better than watching Tashard Choice's slow ass. Its basically inevitable at least one of Fred/CJ will get hurt, as soon as that happens Brown becomes an important player. After the EJs and the Sammys BB is one of the players I'm most looking forward to seeing in the preseason. An almost impossible combination of size and speed and the fact Mr. Whaley worked for 18 months to get this kid? I'm really intrigued.
Mark Vader Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 C.J. can line up as a wideout and Jackson, Brown & Dixon can line up in a Full House formation. We're going to be the Navy of the NFL!
HOUSE Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 I just don't understand the article. Seems to me he has a good chance to play alot. This is like saying Thad Lewis won't play much either and I highly doubt that.
billybrew1 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I just dont want to see a running back limping around the field and playing......ever Someone gets dinged up.....get him off the field and heal......REALLY HEAL.....no RBs playing with high ankle sprains that affect their play.....drove me insane last year that we were not seeing the real CJ Spiller We needed to upgrade the #3 RB spot since we signed tashard choice.... We shoulda kept Joique Bell to begin with but with an older Fred and a frail CJ we should have had a better option for quite some time. Adding Dixon and Brown was long overdue and I love having all four. Fans are gunna fall in love with Dixon at the first home game.... Can't wait till third and one.... Go Bills!
BillsFanM.D. Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 4 solid backs, 2 are holdovers, one a FA signing and the 4th acquired via trade. We had the most carries last season & it will be more of the same this coming season. BIG Additions to the o-line, additions to the backfield...gonna be some ground pounders. Our line is intriguing...especially in terms of running game potential. Glad we have lots of options in the backfield too.
3rdand12 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 some good posts , gentle men all. Line being intirguing is well said ^ Third and one is something Marrone wants to own more than his children i suspect ^^ And a Full House ? Gosh dangit Mark , now you are talking my game . Should be fun
mrags Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 So Brown will have backed into replacing CJ due to injury but not because he's a better player. Thanks for clearing that up. GO BILLS!!! no. He will outplay him. But at the cost of being hung in front of the scoreboard and castrated in front of everyone of he pulls CJ, he will give him all the opportunities to succeed. Basically giving him all the excuses in the world. Until CJ is running one day, should go out of bounds to stop the clock but doesn't because he's a box of rocks, gets hammered, gets a broken collarbone, and loses us the game in return. Have fun with him as your starting RB.
machine gun kelly Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Can anyone a remember a season where we didn't have hurt RBs somewhere in the middle of the year. We'll see all four guys this year. If Brown comes in for CJ and can run better up the middle, we've solved our contract extension problem with CJ and he walks. He'll be motivated to get that contract extension so he'll play as hard as he can. We'll see. I still want Father Time to finish well with a great year. My favorite Bill since Talley is Fredex.
