Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 He's retiring. Hey, that means one less thing the Bills have to worry about when they face the Patriots.
Buffan00 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 He's retiring. Hey, that means one less thing the Bills have to worry about when they face the Patriots. Not exactly!! Now Maroney will get 100% of the carries, which is BAD for our "Run-D"
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Not exactly!! Now Maroney will get 100% of the carries, which is BAD for our "Run-D" But they don't have the 1-2 punch anymore.
The Big Cat Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 But they don't have the 1-2 punch anymore. Let's not be hasty. They don't have a 1-2 punch YET. There's plenty of time between now and opening day. May be they'll want Willis??

May be they'll want Willis?? if willis was on the patriots he would get his 1500 yards easily being that he would face the jets and bills twice each year.go bills in"07

JimBob2232 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 i've got a bad feeling this might be Travis Henry's opportunity to extract sweet revenge Yeah, he would probably be a good fit...ugh
Hollywood Donahoe Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Yeah, he would probably be a good fit...ugh Is Henry a FA? If so, he's in a position to demand the money and carries of a #1 back. No way he'll get either from New England with Maroney already there.
JimBob2232 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Is Henry a FA? If so, he's in a position to demand the money and carries of a #1 back. No way he'll get either from New England with Maroney already there. And what teams are out there that need a RB? Keep in mind Micheal Bush, Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson and Kenny Irons will all be picked in the first 2 rounds and be expected to start... Point is, starting RBs are a dime a dozen. They all have big egos and want the rock. But there are 40-50 starting caliber RBs in this league and only 32 starting jobs.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 This makes no sense. One on hand, Dillon says he doesn't want a reduced workload. On the other, he doesn't want any more wear and tear on his body. Wouldn't being in a situation where you only get 10 carries a game be ideal for someone who is concerned with his long-term health?? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2776090
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 The heart of the matter is that the Pats want Dillon to take a paycut (surprise, suprise!) and he doesn't want to take one.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 The heart of the matter is that the Pats want Dillon to take a paycut (surprise, suprise!) and he doesn't want to take one. Obsess much?
ThreeBillsDrive Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 ?? Link? Sirius NFL radio claimed the Patriots would be releasing him on March 2nd. The Pats will save 2-2.5M / yr by cutting him lose.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Obsess much? Oh, the irony! Just because you can't/won't see it HD, doesn't mean it's not true. And I'm glad Dillon's leaving the Pats period. Could be because of money, playing time, he's sick of Bahstun accents, etc.
cantankerous Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Point is, starting RBs are a dime a dozen. They all have big egos and want the rock. But there are 40-50 starting caliber RBs in this league and only 32 starting jobs. I think that may be one of the greatest farces of the NFL. And 40-50 starting caliber runningbacks? I think that's laughable. Just because a few back up RB's have a nice run once every 5 games doesn't mean they are ready for a full load of carries. There is a reason they are relegated to 2nd string. It is because they have someone better. As for Corey Dillon...I think he's probably got a year or two left, probably splitting carries like he did last year. I'm glad he'll be leaving NE however because he kicked our ass pretty much everytime we played.
