Dual RB way to go Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Doesn't make sense to have two RB's as change of pace. Maybe A-Train wanted a 2-3 year deal guarenteed and Marv balked at it; hence, williams signing?

Maybe A-Train wanted a 2-3 year deal guarenteed and Marv balked at it; hence, williams signing? They aren't similar backs, We'll probably keep A-Train because he has different skills the Shaud or at least if we don't resign him it won't be for that reason.
Fewell733 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 hard to say what the direction is there at this point. I tend to think that Shaud can't really fill A-Train's role though as a serious guy to take major carries in a game. Shaud and A-Train are pretty close to polar opposites as far as backs go
beerme1 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I don't think there's a chance in hell Marv doesn't re sign A train because he signed Fraud Williams. No way in hell. Train kept a rollin

Maybe A-Train wanted a 2-3 year deal guarenteed and Marv balked at it; hence, williams signing? I find that rather unlikely especially since is Willis being shopped around. Shaud wouldn't last the year if he were the starter or backup for any length of time.

I could see us pass on re-signing A-train if we draft a RB to backup and eventually suceed Willis McGahee.
K-Gun10 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 i will be ticked if they sign shaud get rid of A- train and willis and draft a rb i think, i dontthink a-train is great but i think hes a good backup.
Yoho Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Besides many of these posts being illogical, are they all supposed to be in English?

I know for a fact that is not the reason. However, the reason that Lionel Gates was cut last year did have something to do with the fact that he is a similar runner to A-Train and Willis, while shaud is markedly different. ALso, supposedly shaud possessed greater ability to absorb and retain the playbook.
Dual RB way to go Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 I am Making the call now that "A-Train Will Not be Re-signed"!!! Here's why: A-Train the last 3 seasons: Total Yards: 960 Yards per carry: 3.1 4 TD's 2 Fumbles Career Catching Avg 6.7 Salary last year 939,000 Note: He would want a contract at least 3 million over 2 years guarenteed. S Williams last 3 years: 2004 4.0 YPC 2005 3.6 YPC 2006 2.0 with only 2 rushing attempts His catching: 2004 7.7 2005 8.3 2006 ---- Career 7.4 Salary last year 311,000 In the chris brown section of his signing, he said that he understood his diminished role because they were trying different people out in different situations (Mcgahee & A-Train). He answered like his lack of playing time last year was a sacfrice for the team; he'll get alot more this year. He's cheaper, can catch the ball better, play special teams, and has shown some ability to run the ball at times. Sorry everyone. A-Train is "Choo-Choo" - left the platform of the Buffalo Bills.
JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 well i like the a-train and hope we resign him.i thought when willis was out that a-train ran with more power and i thought he ran like you expect your starting runningback to run.go bills in"07
thebug Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The "A" Train must keep a rollin on our tracks......Williams is a "B' back not an "A" back.... Go Bills!
bdelma Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Shaud Williams won't even make the team next year. What is so good about him.
