NoSaint Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Of course not in the 3 count. I was thinking 4 count (even going in before Williams, with McCoy, Freddy, Boobie and Brown). They could still keep four because of ST, short yardage, lack of a good TE meaning keep one less than Roman may want and use Boobie and Felton as that guy who can block, move in motion, maybe flare out. Beyond being in sf, do we have any indication that roman actually likes boobie? I don't recall any comments (good or bad)
Wayne Cubed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Whaley also said some of these picks might not make the team.. It's certainly a possibility. Tank Carder didn't make the Bills squad and he was a 5th round pick. So i wouldn't write off players already on the roster just because Williams was drafted.
Lurker Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Get younger, get cheaper, get more talented. It's how you churn guys in a roster like this. I've been saying vets that don't start will have a target on them and this looks to be a guy that facilitates one of those moves. Unfortunately for Boobie, that's the fallout from having a top heavy salary structure. The middle class gets smaller, even though he's a nice player and seems like a good presence in the locker room...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 6 things to know about RB Karlos Williams Get to know new Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams. 2015 Draft profile: RB Karlos Williams, Florida State (3:11) Take a look at the college highlights of Florida State running back Karlos Williams. Bills pick Karlos Williams No. 155 in 2015 NFL Draft (3:14) The Buffalo Bills pick Florida State running back Karlos Williams No. 155 in the 2015 NFL Draft.
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 So were all of the RB's last year. Was it more them, or the line or the coach? I think the oline and coach were huge problems. But Brown was the worst. Even worse than 87 year old Fred Jackson. He was like Spiller without the speed. He looked like just another dime a dozen rb.
BuffaninATL Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 No love for Bryce in his limited role, yet some people still think EJ should get more chances. You are comparing apples to oranges; the point most people are making, IMO, is that Brown does not really fit the mold of ground & pound, plus ball security has been his demon.
nucci Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Yep. He will only see the field on special teams, this season. He may not even make the team
Kelly the Dog Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Beyond being in sf, do we have any indication that roman actually likes boobie? I don't recall any comments (good or bad) I can't remember if it was a comment Boobie made about being happy about Roman, or Roman about Boobie, but it was a very favorable comment like happy about reunion. But it's kind of hard to believe a guy like Roman doesn't love a guy like Boobie.
PastaJoe Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Just to recap...we traded our fourth round pick for Bryce Brown and then drafted his replacement in the fifth. Whaley's a crafty one. It's his way of dropping salary. Next year he'll pick a RB in the 6th round to replace Williams.
Dennis in NC Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR Despite only playing running back for two seasons, Karlos Williams ranks ninth in @FSU_Football school history with 22 rushing touchdowns. Karlos Williams was also a key special teamer at FSU, returning 29 kicks during his four years as a Seminole. Oh, nice! I'd like to have a 230-pound kick returner! I hope he could be effective in that role.
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 No love for Bryce in his limited role, yet some people still think EJ should get more chances. This is filled with so much wrong. Running back is the easiest position to come into the league and play. But you're right. A first round pick qb and rb you traded a 4th round pick for should be judged completely the same.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Oh, nice! I'd like to have a 230-pound kick returner! I hope he could be effective in that role. He won't return kicks with Harvin on the roster, but he could have a role on ST if he makes the 53.
Clemson Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I think there is a lot of posts underplaying the guys skill. Freak athlete, still pretty green when it comes to the position but still managed 11 TDs in each of the last two seasons (most efficient red zone RB in the draft). I feel like he has a chance to be the #2 by the first week of the season. Also, seems to be a special teams star, which is always good in late round picks Edited May 2, 2015 by Clemson Bills Fan

YoloinOhio Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 @RQUINN619: Karlos to me is TJ Yeldon-lite. Runs a hit high, but a big, powerful, north-south runner. Once he learns to press hole, watch out. Is it because he's a "FSU Alum" hahayep homer alert!
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Is it because he's a "FSU Alum" haha 1) he didn't graduate from there 2) he hates EJ
Wayne Cubed Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 1) he didn't graduate from there 2) he hates EJ I know that, hence the " "

Also, if he doesn't clean up his off the field stuff, he might not even got a shot. There are some big red flags with him.
