ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills had perfect attendance at the start of Wednesday's practice, but that wasn't the biggest story from the team's facility.

After veteran running back Tashard Choice was released earlier Wednesday, fellow running backsFred Jackson and C.J. Spiller both wore his No. 20 practice jersey during drills that were open to reporters and cameras.

The move really doesn't make much sense at this point in the season.

They were close, just showing their support.

I bet Tashard wasn't doing something right in Marrone's eyes.

Or maybe the front office gang is meddling in team affairs again.

They probably just want to give some players from the PS an opportunity over the last few games. Choice might not be the last player to get cut before the season ends.

Never mind. Just saw the Moeki signing in the other thread.

Explain?

Releasing a guy that wasn't much of a contribution, more of an insurance policy, to try and upgrade other another position?

If Moeaki can stay healthy then he's a much better option than Chandler. You can find 3rd string RBs all over the league looking for work.

impossible. it's a new regime....run by the same old cronies who brought you 14 years of misery. i think we owe russ brandon one more chance to get it right. clearly 4-5 coaches isn't enough.

that being said, choice isn't very good. for a 3rd back the bills need a bruiser and summers literally has had a big play every time he's touched hte ball thus far in his limited action.

Even though I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night I see what you did there.

That's somewhat surprising given CJ's ankle problems and Fred getting banged up a bunch this season.

There probably is a rule against multiple players wearing the same jersey with the same name, would probably be funnier if it was so simple they never thought of it, but I couldn't find it in a feeble search. It would be awesome if they both came out wearing Choice jerseys in the game, all the offensive linemen wore Levitre jerseys, the QB's said Fitzpatrick, the receivers said Nelson, the linebackers Barnett, and such.

On a halfback flea flicker direct snap with an option pass you might see....."It's snapped to Choice, hands off to Choice....it goes back to Choice.....he's throwing to Choice, he laterals to Choice, back to Choice, Choice is going long to Choice....Choice has it !"

If it were possible Belichick would have done it already.

Tashard was always a terrible choice at running back.

Interesting move of solidarity.
