Kirby Jackson Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 He is in Buffalo right now. To be clear, I have no idea if he's meeting with the Bills or just there. How would people feel about Boobie instead of Reggie/Fred/etc?

NoSaint Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Not a huge fan but a small enough role for any of them (hopefully) that I'm not terribly worried
Beerball Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Don't want Dixon or Bush. FJ might be a 3rd down option but not much else. Bring is some street guys.
Bills fan since 87 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I'd be ok with it, gotta get somebody soon I'd imagine. Love the idea of Freddy but as many pointed out what could he contribute aside from locker room presence? And that bridge is likely burned down beside.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I think his girlfriend lives in Buffalo so that could be why he's there. He was there a couple weeks ago too. Just based on his Twitter.... I could be wrong but that's what I gather. Edited July 22, 2016 by YoloinOhio
billieve420 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Dude was overweight last year and was terrible. At least with Fred he will be a leader in that locker room and can still play a part time role. I rather bring back Fred for the veteran minimum. He was one of the best blocking backs and 3rd down role would suit him well. I just don't see that happening as the team has moved on and don't want to deal with having to cut him again if he is done.
mrags Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Please god no to Boobie. He's terrible and if we are relying on him to run the ball we are screwed and shouldn't even bother trotting a RB out there. Where is Archer? Any info on him at all? I know he's just as much of an unknown or worse, but the kid is really fast. I'd rather have an idiot that can run really fast that an idiot that is slower than molasses.

ExWNYer Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 If the Bills are looking for RB help and re-sign Dixon, I feel like they'd be getting a Boobie prize...
Stussy109 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I would Take Fred Jackson any day. A step slower the guy is better than any RB on the roster besides Shady McCoy. Keeping Boobie Dixon last year over Freddie Jackson last year was a total Head Scratcher. What the Hell was Rex and Whaley thinking? She does. She's a friend of mine. "Friend"
Webster Guy Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Shady and touchdown Mike can handle the load, with the rookie Williams being #3 for the 1st 4 games until Karlos the Lazy tries to win back some carries in week 5. The rook wont face any DUI discipline until much later this season, if at all. Not sure why we need a 5th guy, and I don't think we will get one.
3rdand12 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Ray Rice is our man! call me deluded, but yes. for reasons i have attempted to define elsewhere in TSW. Boobie ? Nothing personal, but hell no. it was fun for a minute. Now give some kid a chance to develop
White Linen Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I believe Fred burned a bridge with Whaley as others have suggested and I was glad to see him go - but his receiving numbers last year really surprised me. I think he could be a 3rd down passing down blocker and catch some balls out of the backfield. However I do believe that ship has sailed. I definitely do not want Boobie for one simple reason - I never ever want him to get one carry. So even in an emergency - I don't want him touching the ball. For me it comes down to one of two things; do we need an immediate back up to McCoy or do we just need a 3rd or 4th string guy / someone to bring in for competition? If Karlos so far in the doghouse that he won't get the opportunities to play when he returns -or Jon Williams isn't able to be the #2 yet - then I'd want to bring in a vet. If Jon is ready or can be the #2 until Karlos returns then I want to stay with what we have and let Wilder and Gillislee battle it out for depth.
billsfan_34 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Flame away but I would give Ray Rice a look. He has paid his dues and he has something to prove. A look cant hurt.
#34fan Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Convert Eric Striker to RB just to keep him on the roster!
clearwater cadet Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Freddy J, team needs leaders. Does Mario quit on team if Freddy was in locker room last year?
