Fred Jackson

[Buffalo Thriller]

I have come to notice that I get anxious when Fred runs the ball. He just seems very slow for some reason.

Re: Fred Jackson

He is slow, but he's also extremely patient. He's never been the long ball runner that'll break a long td run. He's gonna take what he can get and won't do anything stupid. I think he'll complement Spiller very well.

Re: Fred Jackson

We don't seem to run the bal much at all. When we do its 75% Fred.

Re: Fred Jackson

When running doesn't work early in the game, apparently the plan is to completely abandon it.

Mind boggling.

CJ had a nice break away

Re: Fred Jackson

Jackson has been below average all year, he just doesn't look the same.

I agree. I miss beastmode

Re: Fred Jackson

We are 0-8. There is zero reason to not give Spiller the majority of the playing time from here on out.

Re: Fred Jackson

Let him salvage some experience.

Re: Fred Jackson

Fred is very good at hitting the hole & can catch pretty well. He is very average in my opinion. The Bills need to draft a thumper next year to go with Spiller. Thunder & Lightning, that's what the Bills need. With Jackson the thunder is not so loud, more like a ladyfinger than an M-80

Only one reason, save on wear & tear. I don't want to see him overused in a worthless season, I say let Fred take the pounding this year.

Spiller: 7 rushes for 20 yards, 1 rec for 5 yards (thrown to 2 times).

Really? 9th overall pick in the draft who is supposed to be some big play maker with breakaway speed and that's the kind of work we're giving him? How is this kid not getting the ball more? His pass blocking looked good today. He got stuffed a few times in the backfield but that's because Chan wanted to run the pistol formation for some unknown reason.

I'm just baffled.

Re: Fred Jackson

Bears are 5th in the league against the run. You could say, "Well, what about the rest of the games?" aside from Baltimore and Jacksonville, every other team we have faced this year are all in the top 15 against the run. We still have the Vikings on our schedule who sit at 13th and Pittsburgh who are the top team in the league against the run. This is a brutal schedule for this RB duo this year.

Re: Fred Jackson

Chicago is a very good run defense. Fred's not fast, but he's elusive. His style of running works well against certain teams, not so much against others. Actually reminds me a decent amount of Evan Royster - decent all-around back, but nothing special in any aspect.

Re: Fred Jackson

Any back needs carries to get into a rhythm. Chan Gaileys offense does not allow that to happen.
