billsburgh Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Really surprised he made the team. 760320[/snapback] why? he's the best fullback on the roster.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 True, but that's not saying much.
mary owen Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Daimon Shelton is a diamond in the rough. I've seen him knock the everliving snot out of defenders the last couple seasons. He's one of my favorite players on the Bills.

mary owen Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 You must've missed the preseason, where he has whiffed on his attempted "blocks" 760351[/snapback] Preseason doesn't mean squat. It's what he did for Willis the last two seasons that matters.....and what he will continue to do for our running game. He's been the best FB we've had since Sam.

He's been the best FB we've had since Sam. 760353[/snapback] I knew that was coming. Fair enough, although I'll say that I thought there was a significant drop off last season compared to the first, when he coincidentally was making a return to the NFL after being out of the league. Hopefully having them bring in Ricard has lit another fire under his a*s
BuffaloBilliever Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 BRING BACK GASH. I think they kept him not only for his blocking ability but he has fairly decent hands, making him a viable threat in the endzone on PA attempts.
Adam Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Really surprised he made the team. 760320[/snapback] I think he's a very good blocker- streaky catching out of the backfield, but our offense calls more for a blocker
/dev/null Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Really surprised he made the team. 760320[/snapback] So am I. When they brought in Ricard I figured it was the end of Shelton. Teams don't usually bring a 2nd veteran FB into camp unless they're unhappy with the one they had

He's one of my favorite players on the Bills. 760349[/snapback] Diamond in the rough?? He'll be 34 in a couple of weeks. I think a better description of him would be "doing whatever I can to hang onto an NFL salary for another year".
Rubes Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I think we kept him for his receiving skills. My favorite play: swing pass out to the fullback, who gets creamed as soon as he catches it for a 2-yard loss.

My favorite play: swing pass out to the fullback, who gets creamed as soon as he catches it for a 2-yard loss. 760688[/snapback] "Skills" is a kind way to describe Shelton's ability - or lack thereof - to catch the ball... Stone hands, if you ask me...
Pirate Angel Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 James Hodgins was released from the cards maybe we can consider him
daquixers_is_back Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 You must have missed the part where pre-season doesnt count ...
Rico Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Hopefully the only time he ever sees the field is on ST & short-yardage situations... bring on the Crazy 8's!
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I'm not surprised one bit. He's been a great blocker for Willis.
