cash2cap Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I jsut saw that the Browns released their FB from the past few years T. Smith. I guess they have a younger cheaper option. I was wondering if anybody knows much about him? I know he was their starter for a while and with the saints years before that. I'd like to get a nice experienced run blocking FB in here.
JPL7 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 he is similar in style to Shelton, except he is younger. a real bruiser back who is a pure lead blocker. no catching out of the backfield, etc. i wouldnt mind seeing him in Buffalo for the right deal.

Didn't he used to play cornerback & have hands of stone?
Yasin's BILLS Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 he is similar in style to Shelton, except he is younger. a real bruiser back who is a pure lead blocker. no catching out of the backfield, etc. i wouldnt mind seeing him in Buffalo for the right deal.when we bought in shelton he was already old, I think the best Full Back we ever had and you all will agree with me is Sam Gash.

From what I assumed is a Cleveland fan at http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/BrownsColumn.htm] Terelle Smith, well he's Terelle Smith a hard charging straight ahead blocker. However he can't do all the blocking so his good blocking is lost with the poor O-line play. Not a glowing endorsement which tells me he's not great. The question remains if Fairchild is going to bring the Rams offense here or not, if so the need for a blocking FB won't be needed.

rafter Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 when we bought in shelton he was already old, I think the best Full Back we ever had and you all will agree with me is Sam Gash. Maybe not the best, but I wish we still had a Larry Centers type FB
Paup 1995MVP Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I jsut saw that the Browns released their FB from the past few years T. Smith. I guess they have a younger cheaper option. I was wondering if anybody knows much about him? I know he was their starter for a while and with the saints years before that. I'd like to get a nice experienced run blocking FB in here. His claim to fame was laying out Takeo with a big time pancake block in one of those memorable "scrimmages" the Bills and Browns used to have each summer during the Williams and Malarkey eras. Why I remember that, I am not sure. I would be scared signing anyone who is cut by Cleveland given how woeful there offense has been this decade. (See Kelly Holcomb)
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The Bills worked-out FB Jamar Martin today.
JaBu Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 your age is showing ... jim braxton was better Amen tombstone, Bubby was the best...... and Wray Carlton wasn't half bad either.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Terrelle Smith was considered the best or among the best FB's in the NFL probably just a year or two ago (when the Browns signed him). If age hasn't caught up with him, he'll be snatched off the market within the week.
MattM Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 your age is showing ... jim braxton was better Wow, Bubby Braxton--a real blast from the past. Led the way for OJ with the Electric Co. I heard that he died from brain cancer a number of years ago, may he RIP. You're right, he was a great FB and Buffalo Bill....
Bob in STL Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 your age is showing ... jim braxton was better Agreed. Much better in fact.

That offense belongs to Martz. Fairchild likes to run and will run. Since we play outdoors in the AFC East that is a good thing.
