    Bring in Ray Rice

    He made a mistake, its over.


    He is a good RB with good hands and runs hard. Give him a chance to get back in the league and resume his career. AP got his.

    When Bills coach Rex Ryan appeared recently on PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, I asked him whether he'd consider signing running back Ray Rice, given that they spent Rice's first year as a player and Rex's last year as a coordinator together.

    He was not good the season before his "mistake."

    And he's not coming back, as the Bills announced that McCoy will be fully ready for week 1 action. We should have McCoy, FJax, Dixon, Brown.

    So no to the wife beater.

      Re: Bring in Ray Rice

      In a league that's full of thugs and wife beaters, I honestly don't view Ray Rice as a bad dude. I think it really was a one time thing to a high profile player that was (sadly for him) caught on tape. If we needed to bring someone in out of desperation i'd be fine with it. Now maybe i'm completely naïve about his situation, but I don't think he clocks his wife regularly and I believe that was the first time something's ever happened. Could be wrong. That said, I don't know how much he's got left in the tank. As has been stated, he wasn't amazing the year before this incident and it's been a few years since the "hey diddle diddle, ray rice up the middle" Superbowl year.

        I'd take Williams over Dixon.

        McCoy, F-Jax, Williams, Brown

          Well I would take Dixon before brown, mainly due to Dixon contributing on Special Teams and Brown not

          McCoy, F-Jax, Williams, Dixon

              I'd take Brown over Dixon in a heartbeat.

              Way more natural talent -- and if our RB's keep dropping like they have been recently -- I want the guy who can run the ball more than the guy who chips in on ST's.

              In only 7 career starts, Brown has over 1,000 rushing yards, 300 receiving yards, and averages like 4.4 ypc.

              Dude can play when he gets in the game.

                Why do people forget this? He was on a major decline and there is no way he is better now.

                There are 1000 young RBs sitting on benches right now, pick 1. RBs aren't that hard to find.

                  "Full of"? What percentage of the players would you guess fall into this category?
                  "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                    I didn't mention Williams because I thought he was going to be out a little beyond opening game. (But I could be mistaken there).

                      I have no idea. It's not 50% or even 25%. But it's not 5% either. And it is inarguably a serious problem. As a percentage of the overall player population, the NFL has bad characters way more so than the NBA or any other pro sport. You only need to listen to sports radio a few hours every day to realize the league has a serious problem with this. But it's the nature of the game. It's violent and so violent people excel at it.

                        I'm with you that Brown is supremely talented as a runner. But he seems to have fumbilitis (which even the coaching staff has publicly mentioned) and if thats not fixed the coaching staff may not want him. I just dont see Roman cutting a player he already has a relationship with and one that contributes in multiple areas of the game.

                        It is a tough situation though, all the more complicated by them both being injured. We'll see how it shakes out but when it comes to that 4th RB I wouldnt be shocked to see either one of them be there

                          The thing about Rice is he committed a reprehensible act, hitting a woman.

                          And to do it in a pubic building with cameras present, shows he is not only reprehensible, but an IDIOT as well.

                              Just say no.

                              Rice's last full season stats

                              214 carries for 660 yards 4 TDs.

                              He was done before he became a woman beater.
