    Buffalo works out FB Troy Fleming

    I don't know if this is breaking news, but I figured I'd pass it along:

    LINK (Bottom of article)

    TRYOUTS: Fullback Troy Fleming, released by Tennessee, had a tryout in Buffalo, while ex-Titans quarterback Matt Mauck visited the Detroit Lions.

    That's what Shelton gets for whiffing on 3 blocks against the Pats.

        Would fleming be that much of an upgrade? How are his blocking skills?

          Fleming spent the last 2 years with the Titans, after they drafted him in the 6th round of 2004. You can find his NFL.com profile HERE.

          Don't know much about him, but he played in college at Tennessee and is considered a RB/FB-tweener. He is big at 6-0, 245#, but is probably more an option as a big HB than a FB.

            We all know Buffalo is bringing in people for tryouts all the time. It's part of the whole process of building and maintaining a good team. You have to keep an up to date database on players who are available should they be needed at some point in time. I imagine that if Buffalo were to replace Shelton this year they might first look to Alan Ricard and Jon Goldsberry.
            I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

            I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

              Personally, I didn't think Ricard looked that bad. I was suprised that Shelton won over him. But if he continues to play like last Sunday, he will be replaced immediately!!!

                I know one thing. We love University of Tennessee players.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                  I am glad they are bringing guys in Shelton is over the hill and i think he is one of the main reasons why we had problems against NE, he wiffs on too many blocks, and if we can see it by watching the games, how can DJ and the coaches not see it when they break down game film, plus Shelton is a moron, we can definetly do better here

                        I was surpised that Ricard didn't beat out Shelton. But man did Shelton suck the big one this past weekend. Maybe he's peaked.

                          Ricard got injured. Maybe if he heals-up they might re-sign him, unless someone else better comes along, which is doubtful.

                              I can only assume that if the Bills (or anyone else for that matter) haven't brought Beasley in, he's washed-up. I'm really tired of seeing Shelton in there.
