Lionel Gates

[RedEyE]

I'm still a Lionel Gates fan, and I think that he will prove in pre season that he's the true 2nd string running back the Bills require.

Shaud Williams has quick burst speed, but the guy is so small. Every time I watched him get hit last year, it was like seeing a tumbleweed blow across the field. He's always getting knocked off his feet.

Gates is a strong sure footed back that will allow McGahee to rest during the regular season.

He was inactive most of last season due to a nagging injury. He's healthy now and will hammer it home in camp and Pre Season.

Who? Just kidding! No, I agree, I don't understand with the way the season went last year, why we didn't even dress him to see what he could do? Man, MM was just plain stupid!

Re: Lionel Gates

Mularkey was all up Shaud Williams' ass last season. So much it was emabarrassing.

Everytiime Williams was in the backfield you knew the screen was coming...and so did most defenses.

Re: Lionel Gates

Gates and Wilson. I hope keeping our wr coach from last year will give Wilson a shot at playing. If and when he does, Aikens days could be numbered.

Re: Lionel Gates

I'm still trying to figure out what Aiken has on the Bills front office that keeps this guy hanging around.

Remember that white kid WR last year that lit it up in Pre Season? I can't remember his name, but I belive the Chargers ended up signing him.

Anyway, he destroyed Aiken in camp and Pre Season, yet still got the axe.

Re: Lionel Gates

If there is truly 'Open competition' Then willis might want to watch his back.

Re: Lionel Gates

The one player who really caught my eye last preseason was Gates. He had a good straight-ahead burst and power. I'd love to see more of him. If Willis were to miss any time, I can't see Shaud taking the beating of a starter.

I honestly don't understand that...of course, I didn't understand a lot about last year!

Haddad.

Thing with Haddad is that he'll never be a no. 2. He had competition in Parrish and Reed for no. 3.

That's him. Haddad!


Right, but Aiken doesn't have #2 blood either. That gut is a 4th string WR tops. Haddad beat him out for that spot last year. Hands down.

Aiken was a TD draft wasn't he? There's also Wilson who is bigger than Haddad.

Haddad beat out ALL of our WR's last year. Leave it to fuggup TD and MM to cut his arse

I don't recall much about Wilson. The only reason I remember Aiken is because he was one of several early draft WRs TD snagged that just didn't live up to expectation. Hell, Aiken is somewhat a disappointment.

Re: Lionel Gates

Haddad is actually Arab I think. Middle Eastern heritage at least, though I think he's US born and raised.

I like Gates too, and hope he gets a legit shot to unseat Williams as primary backup.
