Hebert19 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Cadet may not go down in history as a great or even good running back but when he comes in to spell shady I don't cringe like I did when Tolbert would come in. He's been a pleasant surprise running rather than just as a pass catcher. He seems to get to the edge with ease. I have a hunch he will be part of the wrinkle we add this week for the pats. His and shady both on field at same time. Gives tyrod simple throws that could net big yards. Beat the pats at their own game. 1
RyanC883 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I like the idea. Was a great signing. He's got some toughness to him also in terms of looking to hit defenders. 1
HOF4LOU Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 anyone read that article about Trent Richardson finding his mojo in CFL ? Maybe he will be on our radar for next year.

artmalibu Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 The Bills have a RB friendly system. Everyone has been successful with them lately except for Mike. I do like Cadet, great because I think he is a very good pass catching back.
CLTbills Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 He's been fantastic. When McCoy comes out for a couple plays, you don't have to worry about a drop in production. You can run the same plays and get good results... Before, it was Tolbert up the middle for no gain.
K D Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 so far so good with Cadet. seems to be running a lot of routes out of the backfield so hopefully they can get him the ball IN SPACE

TuelTime Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I agree on this as well. If he had been here earlier in the season, there is a game or two where he could've made a big difference. Still not sure why the Bills thought using an aging fullback to fill the RB2 spot was a good idea.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Cadet's been a great find. Wouldn't have been necessary if Whaley had learned from his Hogan mistake and let TDMike go for a 5th round tender. Whaley is the GM that just keeps on giving, even long after he's gone.
TigerJ Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 I think Taiwan Jones had somewhat better measurables, but this coaching staff seems to trust Cadet with a lot more touches in games.

Whoever runs this offense needs to scrub the FB/HB nonsense. Use those roster spots in other ways....

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Was it a 1 year deal or is he signed thru next season too?
