    Fred "The Gem" Jackson has been split out alot thus far

    CB: Lynch has looked explosive and has bobbed and weaved well in and out of traffic and through holes. He also looks smooth in the passing game. I think the second year in Turk’s offensive system is allowing him to play faster, which is a scary thought.
    With respect to Fred and Dominic, Rhodes is just getting a handle on the system and is being used sparingly. Jackson meanwhile has been split out a lot, and I mean a lot. More so than he was last year. That’s very telling considering the depth the Bills have a WR. Jackson has been out wide more than Parrish as far as I have seen.

    I think lining Jackson up in the backfield (sometimes with Lynch) then splitting him out, and doing it often, would be nearly uncoverable. If they bring in a CB, you run him (or Lynch), if they send an OLB over there, then the Bills have a huge mismatch in the passing game.

    His versatility can create huge matchup problems. "is he a a RB or a WR, "

    Not to mention it isn't like the Bills don't have half a dozen other weapons that can punch them in the mouth too. Turk's job is shaping up to be one of the easiest in football.

    Re: Fred "The Gem" Jackson has been split out alot thus far

    Action Jackson
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Imagine the Bills offense stinking it up next season with all these weapons and possibilities.....

      Turk would get booed off the field by week 5.

              No, I seen the film. Pretty good. But, IMO, it's been done already.

                Parrish is a dead man walking.

                First, he's terrible at WR. He's too small and he runs poor routes, so he never gets any separation. Next time you're at a game, watch him then watch Josh Reed. Parrish is much faster than Reed, but when Parrish makes his cut, the DB goes right with him. When Reed makes a cut, he gets some distance (at least temporarily). And I'm not even a fan of Reed.

                Second, we signed Owens, and drafted Johnson and Hardy last year. Johnson has been a pleasant surprise, and now it sounds like Jackson is a decent WR option in spread formations. Roscoe is no longer needed at WR.

                Third, McKelvin and Jackson can return punts. I don't think they're quite as good as Roscoe, but they're very effective.

                Finally, there have been rumors that the Bills already tried to trade him.

                There are only 3 positions on this roster that are stacked: WR, CB and RB. All three positions usually produce the best returners and Roscoe's main position is one of them. He's redundant.

                  Re: Fred "The Gem" Jackson has been split out alot thus far

                  I noted a couple weeks ago, when the suggestion was first heard about the use of the no huddle, that I thought Jackson's versatility could give defenses headaches. Along with Shawn Nelson's ability to line up tight or split out, pairing Jackson with Lynch at the same time creates all sorts of matchup problems for defenses, which, because of the no huddle, can't make substitutions to try and adjust for it
                  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.

                    Re: Fred "The Gem" Jackson has been split out alot thus far

                    Start with Evans and TO all the time... Now substitute freely between Lynch, Jackson and Reed (Reed can do RB duty)... Further substitute freely Fine, Nelson and Schouman.

                    Now think about it in terms of no-huddle... At any given time it could be Evans, TO, Lynch, Reed, Nelson... Or Evans, TO, Lynch, Jackson, Fine... Or Evans, TO, Lynch, Nelson, Schouman... Etc, etc, etc.

                    I'm liking it... Hope we got the coaches to drive the beast.

                      PS... OP's correct... Parrish is the odd man out. Thus, the trade block.

                      In addition... Hardy's in the wings to replace TO... Johnson's holding his own to replace Reed.
