Lothar Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Besides at least 2 drops that could have kept drives alive, he blatantly missed 2 blocks early in the game that kept McGahee from getting to the second level. In one instance - I think the 2nd or 3rd drive, he charged at the outside backer who deked to the outside and came around to trip up McGahee by the laces just as he was hitting the hole. As great a blocker as I've seen him be in past games, that may have been the single worst game I've seen out of him as a Bill. Good thing it was the preseason ...

Give him a shot. Shelton brings good blocking ability to the table. I'd love to see Buffalo have a fullback that can run and catch.
inkman Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 He shouldn't be in the game during passing downs. If he is, he should stay in the backfield and block.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Unfortunately it looks like Ricard is having injury issues. As is Goldsberry. Looks like we may be stuck with Shelton.
Carmel Corn Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Never liked Shelton....I was unhappy the first time we lost Sam Gash....and then we let him go again (?) a second time. I'd like to see somebody else get a shot.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I HATE Shelton as a receiver too. Please lose that from the game plan.
inkman Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Mitch Ferotte had way better hands than Shelton 753808[/snapback] Steven Hawking has way better hands than Shelton.
5 Wide Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Steven Hawking has way better hands than Shelton. 753810[/snapback] Well Done
UConn James Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Shelton had numerous whiff-blocks last preseason as well. Apparently he was serviceable enough during the season to justify Marv not picking up serious (read: non-injury-lagged, nonrookie) competition.... either that or the pickings were that slim. By next season, we need an upgrade. And if there's anything last season should have showed the coaches, it is that Shelton should not be used as a receiver, especially at the goal line.
beerme1 Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I think he was thrown off by the PA announcer. He was mispronouncing his name as Damien. I'm sure he thinking wtf? Why is this clown mispronouncing my name? I'm not new here. As a result he had a poor game.
