YoloinOhio Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 @ProFootballTalk: C.J. Spiller likes the sound of Chan Gailey to the Jets http://t.co/Iqt1rEykP0 @MMehtaNYDN: CJ Spiller to the Jets? Free-agent RB tells me reunion with Chan Gailey in NY would be "a perfect match" #nyj http://t.co/JGd4ykw2we
BillsFanForever19 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Well it WAS sounding positive that he'd return based on things he and Whaley said. But if he's posturing for a big money deal - see ya C.J.
Nanker Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Common man. It's not just CJ, it's Freddy too. He likes Chan at the JESTS too. He even said so before CJ did. Maybe they'll land boddadem what a coupe! Mehta youse is da best! Signed... Jimmy Spags.
GG Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Adding these tidbits to this thread too, about comparing Gailey's offenses to Marrone's. Very hard not to read in between the lines what Spiller just said. And just in case people want to attribute it to free agent talking up his contract value, how about quotes from the offensive captain & elder statesman? “He (Gailey) puts guys in different places to make plays,” Jackson said. “He was creative. That was one of the reasons C.J. and I thrived in that system. He knew how to create ways for us to get in space. ... "It took a while for him to figure guys out," Jackson said. "Once he did, he was the guy that you could go to. His door was open. He was a guy that guys loved to play for. He'll be a good fit in New York." The more I read, the more infuriating the 2014 season looks in retrospect.

An offshoot of that failure was trying to make CJ a power back. When you fail on the first issue (the line), CJ's performance follows suit. It's an indictment of Marrone really...the "offensive line guru" got schooled.
4BillsintheBurgh Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Well it WAS sounding positive that he'd return based on things he and Whaley said. But if he's posturing for a big money deal - see ya C.J. I think he cares more about playing well than a big money deal at this point. Paramount to that is a coach who can bring out the best in his talents. I don't think the double R's have shown that they can do that with a player like CJ. Chan, on the other hand has.

Webster Guy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Chan is a great OC. Theyre lucky to have him. Wish we did. he also knows how to manage time outs, game calling and challenges. Maybe we sign and trade CJ for Chris Ivory straight up. If Roman wants power runners he's a good fit.

Maybe we sign and trade CJ for Chris Ivory straight up. If Roman wants power runners he's a good fit. Mark Ingram might also fit well, and he's a free agent, old frank gore is a free agent as well - I would assume we won't go into the season with the three backs we currently have (or who knows maybe we will....fred can run in any system, boobie has experience, and well...brown is a wild card)
Joaquin1119 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Marrone a so call oline guru really destory this oline. He didn't have any idea how to use our players. I still think that the bills should bring back Mike Williams because jackass Marrone didn't like him since college days. I really hope that CJ give the bills another chance for the right price. But if he wants to see a big contract then let him walk
K D Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 don't they already have another CJ on their roster (Chris Johnson)? sounds pretty redundant to add Spiller
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 This. Marrone tried to create a "bully" offensive line and failed miserably. An offshoot of that failure was trying to make CJ a power back. When you fail on the first issue (the line), CJ's performance follows suit. It's an indictment of Marrone really...the "offensive line guru" got schooled. What's crazy to me is that he created this bully o-line, and then had them do zone blocking and run screens too. I honestly think he had no idea what he was doing.
dpberr Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 May be in the minority here but I don't want the Bills to break the bank resigning Spiller.

Shirley, you can't be sirius. Have you never seen Frank Gore or Carlos Hyde? The Bills RBs are ecstatic about having Roman here. It's going to be the Roman Chariots in the backfield.
GG Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 don't they already have another CJ on their roster (Chris Johnson)? sounds pretty redundant to add Spiller Johnson will cost too much and will be cut.
K D Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Johnson will cost too much and will be cut. sounds like Spiller is going to cost a lot too if he plans to test the open market
bobobonators Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Didnt johnson just get arrested? That clown will be cut asap
YoloinOhio Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Didnt johnson just get arrested? That clown will be cut asapHe did get arrested but IIRC it wasn't really a "cut ASAP" offense. I don't know his contract but he's probably cheaper to hang onto than Spiller. Not sure what the new GM will do though as they have mega cap room.
K D Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I would be secretly jealous of a Chan Gailey/CJ Spiller offense. Our offense looked pretty decent a few years ago. If we had that offense plus the talent and the defense we have today, we would be looking pretty good. Our "ground and pound" will only work with the right back (Frank Gore type). I don't think that RB is on our roster currently. Would love to be able to pick up Gurley from Georgia but I doubt that will happen as he is probably a late 1st round pick. While CJ doesn't fit this offense, I'm jealous of the offense that he does fit in
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 If CJ wants to go elsewhere C YA. don't let the door hit you on the azz on the way out. He's proved he has moments, but those moments are not on a consistent basis.

While CJ doesn't fit this offense, I'm jealous of the offense that he does fit in I have heard a few people say this-- ie, we need a power back. I am not sure that is the case. We need a RB who can run between the tackles-- which CJ (and Bryce) can do. I don't think ground/pound and speedy RB are mutually exclusive.
