Another former FSU RB. The more running backs I see on the roster, the more I think Boobie may be on his way out.

Stuckincincy had good things to say about him a couple years ago.

I'm sure he can weigh in on the signing with some positives and information about Wilder Jr as a player.

Good. I've recommended that BUF give him a look for the past two years.

Here's a rah-rah video:

Re: Bills Sign James Wilder

I like this signing...wanted the team to draft him the year he came out.

Re: Bills Sign James Wilder

Even if we don't sign another soul there is no reason for Boobie Dixon to be on this team. He can't run for **** and his special teams prowess isn't really irreplaceable.

Re: Bills Sign James Wilder

Bigger back who can hopefully be a short yardage guy for us.

Possible Dixon replacement for sure.

Re: Bills Sign James Wilder

That startled me. I thought at first you meant the 57 year old former former Buc drafted in 1981. I mean he might still be able to gain the tough yards but I'm not sure he'd be too durable after being out of the league for 25 years. At least I think you meant Junior.

I thought it was that guy from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.

I am all for competition.

Dixon is good on special teams so his replacement needs to be good on teams as well

2-year CIN pre-season play observation: An aggressive back along the lines of a Corey Dillon. Lowers shoulder, leads with a forearm if need be. hits hard and bounces off the hit. Good NFL rb speed in the open...can deke...nothing like Dillon, though. I can't judge blocking and hands - pre-season action only.

I think he can be a tough short-yardage customer.

No idea about special teams play - never made the CIN active roster.

Pretty sure he can play special teams , he was highly recruited to play LB as well........probably would've been better off making that move.

Die hard FSU fan so I know a thing or two about him.

Re: Bills Sign James Wilder

Wilder doesn't need to play special teams, Boobie's role can be filled by a safety or a lber.
