Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I still think Shelton. He has more experience with this team.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 If healthy, Ricard. Younger and has more left. Shelton is on the downside.
Rico Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Like I said in another post, I don't want to see a FB starting, period. I'd rather see either 3-WR or 2 TE sets being used. But if a FB is used, I don't care one way or the other between these 2... might as well be Goldberry or Joe Burns for that matter. Whoever contributes the best on ST, cause I wouldn't keep 2 of them, waste of a roster spot.

Whoever contributes the best on ST, cause I wouldn't keep 2 of them, waste of a roster spot. 733369[/snapback] You are right on target mentioning the ability to contribute on ST being a big part of who it makes more sense to keep. I would once again add that I hope the team is not so hidebound dedicated to either a 3 wide approach, a 2 TE approach (or both( that it is unable to have the personnel to go to a full house backfield when that approach is the best one to get the jod done. However, even with a diverse attack, this means the FB is not going to be a position player used all the time and if so the way this player is gonna contribute to the team is on ST or he is just sitting on the bench taking up a roster spot. I've heard great things about Ricard as a lead blocker with his proven experience leading the way for a 2000 yard rusher and being trained by Sam Gash and a little bit that he has rushed the ball but not with extraordinary results (not unexpected for someone from the Sam Gash school or a problem if he blocks effectively for a 2K faining RB). However, I have not heard any details yet about whether Ricard showed the same prowess as a check down receiver Gash showed or whether he has any ST experience. These facts would tell us alot if anyone has them.

I give you our new starting Fullback: The man, the legend...
CJPearl2 Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I hope it is Shelton, because we really need him to continue with his 2-yard swing pass plays inside the redzone....very effective last year.

It's not like the Bills have a killer passing offense that strikes fear into opponents...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Who ever is better, that's who should start.
