Is everyone comfortable with our FB situation?

[bigbub2352]

We have not looked at any veteran options, we havent brought in young guys to tryout, and we dont have 1 on the roster...

are we looking to see what type Rb we get before we know if we want a FB or an H-back kinda like Brad Czeislak,

I am interested in Snelling from Virginia Tech, and obviously Brian Leonard

also for the tradition Fb i would luv Corey Anderson from Tenn, he is a beast

what do u think the Bills are doin here?

[casdhf]

I think of the 52 players on the roster, the FB should be in the mid 40s as far as importance.

[patmoran2006]

I really liked Griffith, but he signed with the Raiders.

As long as he can block, I dont care who it is; i don think we will use one all that much anyway

[bigbub2352]

I guess it depends on what style of Rb we get, cause if we get like a A-Train type runner u need a FB, u get Lynch from Cali u dont need one so much

[OpIv37]

We do need a better FB but good FB's can be found on the 2nd day of the draft.

I agree 100% unless we can get leonard somehow, otherwise u can get him with your 2 picks in the 7th or the pick in the 6th, both guys i mentioned would be there around then

[SquishDaFish]

I dont think we need one or using one. How about ATrain and whatever rookie we bring in share time with some formations with both on field at same time.

How much did St. Louis use a FB while Fairchild was there?

I can't imagine FB is going to play much of a significant role in our offense this year considering we don't even have one on the roster and don't even seem that interested to bring one in.

Maybe there's some late round gem that the Bills really like and feel will be perfect for our offense.

The Bills don't seem worried about it though, so I'm not either.

Going by the past month and a half; they dont seem too worried about RB, #2 WR, TE, CB or LB either.

[SquishDaFish]

Maybe we go with no FB and carry and extra TE,WR,LB or CB on gameday.

[bigbub2352]

We will still need a Big back for goaline and short yardage, if we dont get a FB

I don't know, they've at least talked about needing to get better at some of those positions and that they would be addressed somehow.

I don't remember hearing any mention of FB this off-season at all. Except to say that Shelton wouldn't be re-signed.

Gees, be careful bringing up the FB issue on this website. YOu might get lynched for it not being an important topic. I did a few weeks ago and we had a few tightwads voice their opinion as to who cares until the off season winds down. I think Anderson would be a great pick up on the second day.

Tell San Diego and Lorenzo Neal that.

FB is the most overlooked and undercredited position in football.

I never thought that I would agree with The Answer on anything but you can't overlook the FB position if you want a strong running game. Remember the good FB's of Buffalo's past? Where can we find our next Carwell Gardner?

Exactly - The front office/scouts need to find The Answer a mean SOB that does nothing but lay people out - The Answer could care less getting carries, or catching passes - just find a true blocking machine.

[Jan Reimers]

I guess I'm old school, but I like a fullback who can block, run for the occasional tough yard, and catch a pass or two as a safety valve. Unfortunately, FB has become almost a forgotten position on many teams.

I'd like to see us pick up a decent guy back there, to give us another weapon.

lets just sign some old ****ty FA's or could wait till draft and then patch up remaining holes after june cuts.

[pintonick96]

I think the front office likes using Brad Cieslak as an H-Back/FB/TE type guy. I liked him when I saw him in there last year.

By the way, mikemac, get at me, I think we party with the same people.
