Captain_Quint Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I'm not saying he is an MVP candidate but the Bills are the #2 rushing team in the league. If he's playing a quarter of the plays and almost all of them are running plays he must be doing something right. Just sayin'. I know McCoy likes him. Take this to the positive thread, Kelly. We're piling on in this one. I watched Felton eating a kit kat bar during the second qtr. Guy just doesnt get it.
Freddie's Dead Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 We just cut what's his name and re-signed Thiggy, so why not cut Felton and re-sign Fred? Too bad he's gone. He's a better blocker than Felton, and that's how the Seahawks are using him this year. With Unger gone, the Seahawks line is a mess and they're using Fred to keep Russell Wilson upright. Felton is completely FUSELESS on this team.
Captain_Quint Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Felton is completely FUSELESS on this team. You mean he blows??
Freddie's Dead Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) You mean he blows?? Technically, it's F'USELESS, as in #$%^ING USELESS, but yes, he blows. Edited November 26, 2015 by Freddie's Dead
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Matthew Mulligan and Jerome Felton are both useless.
K D Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Matthew Mulligan and Jerome Felton are both useless. i really don't understand the "blocking" skilled position player at all to be honest. if they aren't going to touch the ball then why not just get a fast offensive lineman that is actually good at blocking?
BuffaloMatt Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 He lead the way for AP, and his 2,000 yard season. Why not use him more to help your o-line or help in pass block? Its not like we currently have WR's to get on the field. AP doing pretty darn good without him AP doing pretty darn good without him Also he played poorly in NE.
T master Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I've asked that same question & i bet he has too !!

That's why I believe Roman went with the two back set of Williams and McCoy on Monday. I hope that continues because there is a whole slew of options that they did not even begin to unravel with that formation.

I was listening on the radio when Murph or Kelso said they were lined up behind TT. My ears pricked right the heck up. seems like some great potential out of that set with Mully or Clay on the line! Did you just quote yourself within the original post? That's nuts! !! : )
Rob's House Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Why is this a thread? He's one of the best FBs in football. FBs don't typically see the field as much as other positions, and ~ 25% of the snaps is hardly insignificant. If he were making crazy money I might agree, but at $2.3 mil/yr on a team that wants to run the ball I'm not seeing the problem.

If he were making crazy money I might agree, but at $2.3 mil/yr on a team that wants to run the ball I'm not seeing the problem. because he whiffed so bad on the block at new england. how hard is it to sit back and block? you say he is one of the best? How is he doing in Buffalo? BTW i was stoked he would be great fit with a Roman Offense. I want to see McCoy, Williams and Felton on the field. at least two of those 3 each play. nearly. I demand my ground and pound Offense we were promised!
Agent 91 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I thought McCoy was gonna be our workhorse? So far he hasn't had more than 20 rushing attempts in a game. He should be getting 25-30 a game, especially with young QBs. I still don't see the purpose for trading for a RB we don't use. Is this sarcasm? Last 4 games he toyed with 100 yds. And why would you expect 25-30 carries when it was obvious we were looking to have Williams as the second to the 1/2 punch. Did we really expect 30 carries a game

I've always wondered that too. This one will really show my age -- back in the O.J. days, the Bills drafted Paul Seymour (dominant tackle at Michigan) 7th overall. They stuck him at TE where he caught 10-20 passes a year (basically one catch per game) and provided, as expected, dominant blocking for O.J. at TE. 2,000 yards for O.J. in 14 games. You had 2 RTs on the field at the same time. In other words, he did the Mulligan/Lee Smith job, but he did it really, really well. I don't get these pure blocking specialist TE/FB types who don't absolutely crush opposing LBs and safeties. Yep, to me they're useless.

In the first game when OJ rushed for 250 yards I think they threw 12 passes the entire game and one of them was by OJ.

Braxton played fullback that year, and did so very well. You're implication is correct: it was a different time when you could get away with a great running game and a dozen passes a game. But the point remains -- when you are a complete one dimensional player (and Felton's career: 9th season, 47 rushes, 165 yards, 43 receptions), you had better nail that one dimension. If someone can point out to me a play in which you could have said "great block thrown by Felton" I'd be surprised ... on the other hand, "Felton totally whiffed on that block" sticks out.

After four games, Rex said that he was playing as well as any fullback in the league he has seen. I heard McCoy say that he really likes Felton. The Bills are rushing pretty well. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2015/10/09/bills-fullback-jerome-felton-thrives-contact/73584718/
PO16FFS Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 He missed 2 blocks that was huge. However I saw another good block to a good run. BUT...Get rid of the bum! His name is irritating.

Exactly why the FB is a dying position in the NFL.
