Why did we ditch Frank Summers and sign Felton?

[Mr. Miyagi]

Are they pretty much the same guy?

[Jan Reimers]

I think Felton is a far more accomplished lead blocker.

[Forward_Lateral]

Felton is considered one of the best blocking FB in the NFL.

Summers isn't.

That's all I can come up with lol

[Shady25]

Shady didn't like Summers.

Felton coming in was Shady approved.

one of the top blocking backs, where Summers was not.

[Pinkerton Security]

Yeah pretty simple, Felton is more established as a lead blocker. I know for one I am excited about bringing in the I formation and powering ahead instead of those stupid shotgun handoffs that never seemed to work under Marrone/Hackett

[elltrain22]

Felton, is, hands down, one of the best blocking FB's in the league. Has been for years. Summers is average, at best. Nuff said. Felton is a very good addition IMO.

I wish we still had the groan button.
Shady approved the move !?!?! Which Shady? The poster or the RB?
I dont care about the former and I doubt the latter was really asked, I mean asked in the sense of signing off.

[The King]

Because Summers kind of sucks.

[GreedoII]

Summers is awful and a waste

Shady (the poster) likes to talk like Bob Dole. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/norm-macdonald-cold-opening/n10910

To be honest, Felton is simply better at his job than Summers. There's no reason to disrespect Summers in here. He was a decent player who made positive plays the few times he would get the ball.

[Albany,n.y.]

Summers got cut before the season ended. We ditched him before Felton was even available.

The biggest loser in this is Adrian Peterson.

[ghz in pittsburgh]

If you ask me, Felton might be the best sign by the Bills. We will see in the fall.

He can do just about everything well as a FB. It is him, not the guy in NYJ, that is a threat to unseat Jackson.

[THATHURMANATOR]

One is a good blocker and one is not. Pretty simple reasoning.

[better days]

Joe Buscaliga said on WGR today that Felton is one of the 5 best blocking backs in the NFL.

Welcome back good friend.

Um. No. Jackson is not a fullback. Why would there even be a remote chance of Felton unseating Jackson? Felton had 4 carries last year. He's in Buffalo to strictly be a blocker.

Smh at the thought of a blocking FB replacing Fred.

Right. Marrone dumped Summers for Gray.
