    Bills need a small quick HB

    The Bills need to find a sleeper in the later rounds in the draft and take a small quick HB. We need more speed than we have on offense, and we need someone to complement Henry and throw the defense off with some change of pace.

    Henry is only 5'9'' how much smaller do you want the RB to be?We have so many weapons on our offense that a 2nd RB would hardly get any touches. I think we are very well off in our RB situation.

      That makes no sense. I don't think the bills need to pick up another RB, but if they did, I would want him to be a Bettis, Alstott etc. type.

        I thought Henry looked faster towards the end of the season, Moulds has good speed and Peerless is scary fast.

              Agreed how much smaller can our backs get? It would be nice to get a banger for short yardage. The only other thing I would want is a fast TE and for Drew to be a little more nimble, Im not asking for Vick speed, but maybe along the lines of Gannon quicks.

                  Henry is 5'9" but he weighs about 220. He is pretty fast. Morris is around 6' and weighs 225. Joe Burns is about as tall (or short) as Henry and weighs close to the same though he's MUCH slower in the 40. He does have good balance and runs with determination. Demond Parker, whom the Bills recently signed as a free agent, does fit the bill of a small, light, lightning fast scatback if he can control a reputed fumbling problem. I think when he played for the Packers a while back he had a very high YPC with limited playing time. If he makes the team I think he might be the fastest player, even faster than Bryson who from all appearances seems to have worn out his welcome. He's probably as good as anything the Bills can pick up in the later rounds. Who makes the team will depend on what mix of players the Bills want. I would not draft a HB.
                  I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                  I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                    Ken Simonton could the small, quick, HB the Bills are looking for, but that's a big "could."

                        Geez OK. I didn't mean he had to be SMALLER than Henry. He needs to be faster. You mean to tell me none of you think we could use speed at the HB position?

                          I would like someone with the quicks of say Charlie Garner. It may be just me, but everytime I saw him he blew through holes. And he also fits the height requirement mentioned.

                              Henry is an everydown back...

                              Henry is a great back, we dont need someone to compliment him, thats what the Drew and Moulds are for.

                              Getting a quick back to do this would just take carries away from Henry, something that we should only do if his fumbles continue, but that wouldn't be with a late-round rookie...
