    Ex-49er Dixon Brings Enthusiasm to the Bills

    New Buffalo Bills running back Anthony Dixon looks like he’s having fun during practice.
    He’s easy to spot because he has the sleeves cut off his No. 26 jersey, but he’s also bouncing around from drill to drill with obvious enthusiasm.
    “I’m a high-energy guy, that’s what I do,” Dixon said after a Bills spring practice last week. “I bring the noise. I also bring the pain. … I’m just trying to set the tone, set the tempo. I’m definitely trying to make plays and just mesh with my teammates, get the chemistry going so we can win games.”
    Dixon is a power back Buffalo signed as a free-agent from San Francisco. He has a chance to fill a niche in the loaded Bills’ backfield as a short-yardage runner and change-of-pace weapon.

    I am loving this backfield.

    Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist poll showing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

    We're all stacked at RB, so I'd plan on us running a lot behind the beef & bulls.

      Tashard Choice was excited too.
      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.

        Take the Bills to the Canadian ballet if you want them to all be excited.

          Yeah, if he can manage the same 114 yards on 3.1 yards-per-carry average here as he did in San Francisco, that should push us over the top and into the playoffs.

          We was just sayin' how much we needed some enthusiasm.

          The $100,000 question is whether or not he's poised. If he's poised like Edwards was, then we could see a 16-0 season and the best backfield we've had since OJ.

          Seriously, who honestly reads stuff like this and takes any of it seriously?

          A poster commented to me about wasting my time, what little of it I waste, by posting here despite that I try to provide some actual substance. Isn't reading articles like this, about players not even likely to make the 53-man roster, the real waste of time?

It's a protection mechanism.

          You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

          Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

          The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

          "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

          "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

          "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

          Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

          "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

            He'll be a FB/HB hybrid that they utilize to keep it mixed up if I had to guess.

              Yeah, how can a short yardage back that averages 3.1 yds-per-carry when he only plays when 2 yards or less are needed help any team win?

                  Yes. I can't ****ing stand offseason puff pieces.

                  "CJ Spiller hoping that last season's production spills over into next season"
                  "Marcell Dareus daring the Bills leadership to not give him more playing time"
                  "EJ Manuel out to prove he is the man for the job"

                  Remember the ones about Merriman a few years back? It sounded like he was going to be a pro bowler.

                      Some understand how the game is won and some let's just say lack.
