Big C Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 After an uninspiring start to the season, Spiller easily had his worst game in as long as I remember. I know the Lions D is good, but I watched Fred get the tough yards like always and CJ go nowhere. He missed a crucial blitz pickup and nearly cost us a safety. I know Bryce Brown is the alleged replacement for CJ, but the FO has expressed interest in keeping him. What are the odds now we keep CJ? Does anyone think we try to trade him? What is he worth? I know this has been ongoing talk here at TSW, but this was the least inspiring performance I've seen from him in a long, long time. It can't just be Hackett.
BillnutinHouston Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Spiller's pass pro is embarrassing. Move on.
Dorkington Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I think we'll offer him a contract meant for what he should be... a situational runner, or a guy who is used more in the slot/space more than anything. But another team will give him starting RB money, so I don't think we keep him.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Yes but we have to stop running him up the middle. Get him in space

Spiller can be an all-pro in a spread offense. He is not RB you run up the gut and have rely on pass protection. That said he should have benched after the botched protection in the red zone. It's party scheme, partly a one dimensional RB.
Dorkington Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Wonder if we can get away with benching Gay for a game, to get Brown a few carries.
Best Player Available Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Nate Hackett runs a junk offense. see we agree

He's gone, trade him now before he loses any more value.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Nate Hackett runs a junk offense. That is true.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 He did have a great game against Miami....
truth on hold Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Its just a matter of money. He can contribute in a lot of ways. At this point @ 28 years old I think he stays simply because no one else offers him a big contract. BTW this discussion is way premature with 11 games left in the season
Coach Tuesday Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Depends on the price. And yes, Hackett can't.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Wonder if we can get away with benching Gay for a game, to get Brown a few carries. like we need two kickers anyway
Dorkington Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 like we need two kickers anyway Field position is important, especially with our team.
BringBackFergy Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Merge this with the Start Bryce Brown thread....or one of mrags multiple rants re. Spiller. This guy gets on my nerves. Consistency means something (and stop the "get him in space" BS...if every player is in space it would make offenses a lot easier right?) Edited October 5, 2014 by BringBackFergy
billsfan714 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 If RBs peak at 26, signing a speed guy to long term contract would be stupid. Remember all that talk that he was the next Jamal Charles...well he couldnt hold Charles' jockstrap. I say let him go.
Nitro Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Running backs are devalued. You will not get more than a 6th for him in a trade. CJ is not being used properly. The running plays between the tackles are not his forte. He is an off tackle runner. Give him some space and pitch the ball to him. His talent is wasted in Buffalo. I think he will be offered a contract. It is up to him if wants to stay or go.
