That destroyed Peterman and his future as a starter. Theoretically, of course..... If one pick really did ruin Nasty Nate's start, then he truly is a kitty. Dump DiMarco. The pass Houston is referring to. There was also another game he could have scored an easy TD, but tripped over his own feet and couldn't get to the football. seems he dropped on on 3rd down in a game earlier in the year. 1

He came to buffalo as the #1 rated run blocking FB, nothing wrong with his performance. If the offense is planing on using a FB in the run game it would be ridicules to cut him. They fired the O coordinator for a reason, he under performed with the talent he had. If the offense is going to rid the FB position thats fine but there has been no indication of that. 1

Freddie's Dead Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 DiMarco may have single-handedly ended Nathan Peterman's career. Buh-bye.

3rdand12 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 and i like Dimarco. down year under Dennsion. as everyone did. recall Rex and his defense? but either way Daboll sees it is fine by me. ps i like FBs and I formations ; )

As for Dimarco, it all depends on Daboll. If his system needs a FB and he thinks Dimarco fits, keep him, if not, then theres no need keeping a roster spot for him. His salary doesn't cripple the Bills cap, but if your not going to use him (like Dennison), then he is not worth keeping a spot on the roster for since FB seems to be a little used position anymore
atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 We need to defer to Daboll. DiMarco wasn’t the only person who looked out of place. Dennison had Tolbert in on packages at times that didn’t suit his skill set. I believe DiMarco has the talent. 1
3rdand12 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 If you need a roster spot, move on from Tolbert please. 9 minutes ago, atlbillsfan1975 said: We need to defer to Daboll.

Hard for me to define what either Mike or Patrick should best be used for. I did see good individual play from both of them. Play calling ? Hmmm.
GunnerBill Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I would never have signed him. I certainly wouldn't keep him. I think we'd have been better off using Tolbert or Clay as a blocking FB when we needed one and still letting them contribute in their normal roles (not that Tolbert contributed much) and using that spot for a proper #2 change of pace back.
Buddo Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 My main thought on this is that NE has used a FB successfully for years. But it was one who could catch. DiMarco doesn't do catch. So I could see him being ditched. Having said that, like others did in this thread, I often wondered why we had acually signed him, when he didn't seem to be on the field that much. I also wonder if some of the stupid plays we saw Tolbert being given, were as a result of Dennison not getting an extra RB to use. It seemed to take an age to sign Cadet, and the amount of time we were just going with Shady backed by Tolbert, throughout the season, struck me as being far too much for a run first team.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Meh- specialist who isn’t particularly special... upgrade!
Wayne Arnold Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Terrible disappointment in 2017. Maybe Daboll thinks he can use him. It's his call.

James Develin, their fullback for the past four years has 19 career catches for 161 yards and zero touchdowns. DiMarco has 44 catches for 301 yards and four touchdowns. 1

I just can't help remembering how badly the likes of Kevin Faulk used to gash us. For the last few years, I'll stand corrected then 1
