artmalibu Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 How would it be better? Fred gets cut either way. In fact it would be worse to cut him now. 6. Harvin The kid on the practice squad looked pretty good in the preseason games too.
Dr. K Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I think this cut was more Rex's doing than Whaley's. I don't think Rex ever warmed to Brown.
dezertbill Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 This probably has more to do with Brown's unhappiness the way he wasn't used week 1 and less about his talent. He probably demanded a release and the Bills didn't want an unhappy player in their RB room that is quite a talented bunch. I'm also sure this all happened prior to some effort to trade him for anything but there were no takers. While I liked Brown, he simply couldn't hang onto the football. Even in preseason with a year to work on it he was still fumbling. No matter how good someone is, if he is going to account for a TO every 1 or two games, that's tough. Bills are set with Shady, Williams, and Dixon. I'm sure Thigpen can fill in a pinch. They have Wood on PS. This allows us to bring back Dareus and keep our DL depth. Brown may succeed elsewhere, but odds are he will always have that fumbling thing looming, and no team can afford to count on a back like that.
Numark3 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 But but this doesn't fit with the crazy Freddy narrative.... Guess what folks, teams don't need 4 RBs on the roster. Bye Freddy, bye brown
Dorkington Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Well **** O.o I much prefer Brown over Dixon as a runner, but Brown doesn't do much on ST, so I guess it makes sense... I think we need another RB that is more capable than Dixon as a runner.... too bad Brown wasn't a special teams ace. Edited September 15, 2015 by Dorkington
Clippers of Nfl Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Im in love with our rb group. Love me some Shady. Love me some Karlos. Love me some Boobie. Love me some Felton. (Felton was surely missed in Minnesota last night)
billsfan_34 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Being a vested vet, I found it an odd signing. But maybe he is versatile? MarQueis might though! Omg I just about pissed myself!!!! Lol lol lol
Chandler#81 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 If our worst fears are realized and NE* picks him up to learn the playbook, at least Rex will know his name.. WAIT! nevermind..
NoSaint Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 John Conner is a phone call away. Who isn't a halfback, and matters little here unless Felton goes down
Pondslider Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Seven pages and a lot of hand-wringing over a guy was inactive 10 out of a possible 17 games here. Edited September 15, 2015 by Pondslider
707BillsFan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Maybe it's a ploy. Cut Brown (compensate very well), hope the Pats pick him up to pick his brain for this weeks game. Pats fall for the bait, he gives them the wrong playbook. Pats think they're getting over on the Bills again, Bills win in rout! Bryce is cut next week, Bills re-sign him. Seriously though. Why cut anyone before the Pats game? We know they'll make a push to sign him. ***SIGH*** Edited September 15, 2015 by Eric95403
Maury Ballstein Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Great. He was a bum who was elevated by too many here.

The Poojer Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 He was JUST turning his game around too.... Seven pages and a lot of hand-wringing over a guy was inactive 10 out of a possible 17 games here.
Clippers of Nfl Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 You might be on to something actually. Give him the wrong game plan and then cut him. He already has the correct playbook. I dont think the coaches knew how good Karlos was going to be... This "trick" would not work.
HalftimeAdjustment Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 He already has the correct playbook. I dont think the coaches knew how good Karlos was going to be... This "trick" would not work. Not the playbook, the actual game plan for the Patriots themselves. As I understand it the game plan consists of a subset of the playbook customized to that opponent.
Maury Ballstein Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Pats interested ? They don't like fumblers.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 They don't like fumblers. I guess that's why they didn't want fumble fingers Fred.
