All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Reggie Bush or Fred Jackson?

07-22-2016, 10:07 AM

We just need a hold over for a few games until Karlos comes back from 4 games and Jonathan Williams' potential suspension.

Freddie might be old but he has gas left for 4 games. At least he has rapport with our OL. Reggie Bush comes in cold, but with experience in Roman's system.

Aaron Williams is pushing for Freddie too, granted they're best buds.

Re: Reggie Bush or Fred Jackson?

Bush is telling the media he has been offered a veteran minimum deal by the Bills. Cant see Jackson coming back after what he said about whaley last year... So logically its Bush

Re: Reggie Bush or Fred Jackson?

This is almost as bad as having to choose between Clinton and Trump.

Freddie was a great player for us and I'll always respect him. He's one of the few bright spots during an atrocious stretch of football for this team. But get over it, people. His time has passed.

Unless there's something about McCoy's health they aren't saying, they should stand pat and go with him and Gillislee and Wilder to start the season. They run Taylor like crazy anyways, and I hope they don't chew up a roster spot like they've done with their long-running kickoff fetish.

The local news in Balt reported yesterday that he said he'd donate his entire salary to charity if someone signed him.

Honestly, I don't get why he can't get signed. He did an awful thing. But:
Michael Vick killed dogs and went to jail for it
Donte Stallworth killed a dude driving drunk
Albert Haynesworth stomped a guy's face during a game
Big Ben rapes chicks

And none of them got blacklisted the way Rice has. Don't get me wrong- he deserves punishment for what he did. I just don't understand why he's become such a pariah whereas others who did things as bad or worse got second chances.

Re: Reggie Bush or Fred Jackson?

He's a 29 year-old RB with tons of rushing attempts in college and the pros. In his last season with BAL, he averaged 3.1 yards on 214 attempts for 660 yards. He is - or was - a decent pass catcher out of the backfield, if that's what you want.

I wouldn't waste a roster spot on him. He's not being "picked" on...he's a spent force, IMO.

Re: Reggie Bush or Fred Jackson?

All those players you mentioned OP, had some kind of value at that time, which is why teams took a chance on them...

Rice is an over the hill player at a position where is the easiest to fill...

If he was in his prime, or an AP type of player, I guarantee you he would've been signed a long time ago...

There's a hook to Ray Rice, therefore it's all over.

Shouldn't have cut FJ last season to begin with, but that's water under the bridge.

I'm with train and cincy, pass on both. Go with McCoy, and give Gillislee and Wilder a chance.

Jonathan Williams won't be suspended during Karlos' absence anyway. He'll be there too, ask me. He's innocent until proven guilty, and these DUI cases are easily delayed by lawyers. I'll be interested to see him play.

Rice is where the NFL decided to put it's foot down.

Fred Jackson is so old and slow. Reggie Bush is a much better choice.
