perrytuttlelives Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't think James Hardy could fill Perry Tuttle's shoes at this point. Somebody call for me.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Somebody call for me.......? Yes. Can you "coach up" James Hardy so he can be just as effective a pro as you were coming out of Clemson? If you can't help I may have to summon Charles Rodgers from Michigan State or Mike Williams from USC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPage Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I guess we are going to find out Sunday. After watching him all year in his limited play ,he just doesn`t seem agressive enough going after the ball. Maybe he`ll show something different this week. Lets hope so. I`d like to see the Johnson kid get some throws also to see what hes got. No he's not ready to be a #2. He'll get some throws going to him but he's not at the point where he'll take over for Reed.

StupidNation Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Reed is not a solid #2, but he is a solid player. Most importantly we are going his saavy and blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkmil Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think there might be an in-game tryout for the 2nd receiver slot this week. This is why Hardy was drafted - it's time for him to step up. If he doesn't, I think the offense is in trouble. what are the other options? steve johnson?

Orton's Arm Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hopefully, one of the backups can step up but if I was making the calls, I would think about F. Jackson in the slot more. He has similar size, can catch, is a tough runner, can block, and is a proven commodity. I like Roscoe but he seems to be most effective running his routes to the outside and I don't see him getting those 1-2 hard yards for the 1st after the catch on the inside like Jackson can. This isn't a bad idea at all. The Bills could use Xavier Oman as Lynch's backup, with maybe Jackson getting a little time at the position as well. Or, the Bills wanted a pass catching TE, they could use Jackson to take the place of Robert Royal. Having Royal's name eliminated from the Bills' list of receiving "threats" could only be a good thing. With Jackson at TE, the Bills would then use Evans, Hardy, Parrish, and Johnson as their receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
