eball Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I would be worried if he makes the final 53 unless they keep four OT and would utilize him as an emergency OG, which he has played. He's big, he's allegedly in good shape, he's versatile, he's just not good. We did need a 4th NFL tackle in camp though. All we had behind our top three, two of which are unknown entities, was an UDFA. So his signing is not surprising and perhaps necessary. In that case, I'm thrilled the Bills have the ability to bring in a tub of goo as camp fodder just so they can keep everyone fresh through rotation, and then jettison said tub prior to the start of the season!

Yup. It's basically Rex being Rex, same as the Mulligan signing. Giving a guy he knows and likes who has no job at the time a chance to come in and compete at a spot that is desperately needed in training camp but little chance he makes final roster. It keeps their names in the news and keeps them in football shape and Rex is straight forward about the best man wins so they love him for it and relish the opportunity and work their ass off for the 3% chance they make the team. But it's good for everyone really.
Bill from NYC Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 nice job CBF do people get warning points for being negative here? If so I'm positive I'll love this thread. I think EJ makes big strides this season!! Oh, he will make big strides all right. This much is certain. The direction of his strides? Not so sure. No warning points for me, right?
FireChan Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 CJ Spiller is no longer on this team, which means we probably won't have a game where we average 1 YPC, which means we will win more games. Positivity is fun.

Positivity is fun. Sophistry is fun, too, considering Spiller's YPC is right up there with Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Adrian Peterson, Barry sanders and Jamaal Charles.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Jesus Christ, you're miserable. you just noticed that?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I'm positive FredEx has a decent YPC average 3.7 not bad for a part time 33 year old. He did so in many games where CJ was injured.

He did so in many games where CJ was injured.i think his YPC will go up with his carries reduced. He is always fighting for the extra yard. With this maybe being his last year, he's going to give it everything he has on every chance he gets. Not that he didn't before, but this year will be unique for him.

chris heff Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Jesus Christ, you're miserable. Possibly my favorite post.
FireChan Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Jesus Christ, you're miserable. Addition by subtraction, don't be so negative. Sophistry is fun, too, considering Spiller's YPC is right up there with Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Adrian Peterson, Barry sanders and Jamaal Charles. So is my bench press, but I'm not as good of a RB as them either.
Kelly the Dog Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Addition by subtraction, don't be so negative. So is my bench press, but I'm not as good of a RB as them either. That's a really good point. Because bench press for a running back is always considered equivalent to YPC, you know, the stat that YOU brought up as the arbiter of quality.

Also, that YPC is dropping every year. Trends would say you'll put him in the 4.8 YPC class next year, then the 4.2 YPC class the year after, then he'll retire. Edited June 25, 2015 by FireChan

FireChan Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Do you want to bet a case of beer on that? How bout for signatures? Only if you promise to not pull an NDBUFFCUSE, the last guy to make a Spiller wager with me.
OCinBuffalo Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) On Philly today. Listening to WIP Sports Radio this morning. They were debating whether the Eagles would win 12 or 14 with Bradford. This, right here, is how Santa Claus ends up getting hit with snowballs in Philly. Philly is the anti-Buffalo, or at least the anti-TSW. They go out of their way to know NOTHING about the teams/players/sport, and then they go out of their way to talk schit to everyone, whether they want to listen or not. They are the ultimate example of scoreboard and box score watchers. If the scoreboard says win, then they were right, because everything Philly is awesome, and everybody else sucks. If it says lose, then they were right, and everybody needs to be fired/run out of town. When they lose, there are all sorts of tantrums thrown/fights started all over the city. Monday after a loss sucks if you are a traveler, which is why I started leaving on Sunday. This is largely because some idiots in their media, in trying to capitalize on the "Philly is awesome and everybody else sucks" side of the mentality, run with it, and whip up expectations(for clicks) when it is easy to do: offseason. Then when things inevitably don't pan out...somebody, anybody(besides their own idiot selves) needs to pay. QED: Santa Claus gets a snowball. Edited June 25, 2015 by OCinBuffalo

I have no idea what NDBUFFCUSE did, but I assume that I will just agree with whatever parameters you want to put on the signatures. It's two or three years in the future but I have been here for about 17.

I think ND etc... went Section 8 after someone here accused him of dishonesty regarding his service to our country, or something along those lines. I missed that particular imbroglio, and feel all the better for it honestly. You know what happens from time to time around here. Someone gets wound up tighter than a dervish and then goes off like a roman candle. Then they're tail lights. FWIW, I'll take your side on this bet.
