    Spiller to run with the #1's on O

    C.J. Spiller's contract with the Bills is only three days old, but the team is already accelerating the rookie's insertion into its offense and return units.



    "NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that plans are in place to give Spiller repetitions with the first-team offense right away, and that the rookie is also viewed as the team's top choice as both a kick returner and punt returner."

    He should be getting reps with the first team...although I don't see him being the 'every down' guy, he wasn't picked at #9 to simply give Jackson a breather now and then. Hopefully he'll see 15-25 snaps per game, as well as return kicks.

    Going to be interesting to follow the progress of the rest of training camp and see when and where he's plugged in.

      Figured this would happen...Leodis is talented but a moron, and he was drafted to either light a fire under Marshawns ass or move Marshawn out so you might as well get him right in there...I think without even taken an NFL snap hes already the best player we have on paper on the offensive side

        So if Spiller turns out to be a player and Edwards is a "serviceable" QB this season..............................


        I am getting more and more excited about this season.

            If this team had tackles and more depth on the o-line I could see this team as a wildcard.

            They are going to be better than advertised and they will the home-opener!!

              I'm not too concerned with who "No. 1" is because I'd like to see at least two of them on at the same time a lot.

                  I think he was talking about Spiller taking over for Leodis as the KR, then transitioned to talking about him taking over for Meshawn.

                  I had to read it a few times myself to figure out what he meant.

                    i hope that was it. Because by all accounts Spiller was a smart kid in college. What did he graduate with, a 3.7 GPA? Something like that.

                      "Why would we want to feed this guy the ball ??? He's a rookie !"

                      Oh wait..Jauron is gone..



                      21 TD's of 50+ yards at Clemson = Feeding him the ball as much as possible. Runs, Receptions, Kickoffs, Punts, Wildcat..

                      When is Spiller having the ball a bad idea ?

                              Spiller SHOULD be getting first team reps. If he can run between the tackles he should be starting period. The kid is a home run threat. If he's ready, feed him the rock.
