    Bills Will Use Their Fullback

    PITTSFORD — Turk Schonert wasn't the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator last season and therefore didn't have the proper authority to stand up and question the philosophy of Steve Fairchild.

    So all year long the quarterbacks coach bit his lip and went along with the premise that using tight ends as fullbacks was a good idea, even though he wasn't on board with the ideology.

    "I've always been around offenses with fullbacks; I like them back there," Schonert said recently following a training camp practice at St. John Fisher College.
    That point was hammered home the day Schonert was promoted to replace Fairchild, who left Buffalo to become the head coach at Colorado State.

    One of the first things the former NFL quarterback and longtime assistant coach said back in January was the Bills would be going back to a traditional two-back set for their base offense, utilizing a true fullback.

          I love a big, smashmouth type of FB that can block like Hell and catch the occasional pass. Braxton and Gash are two of my favorite Bills.
          Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              Remember when we traded Centers for Gash to utilize the FB in the offense more? How'd that work out?

              Yes, I know, different coaching staff, different offensive philosphy, etc.

              Still, we've heard this before and I'll believe it when I see it.

                  Both offenses were still better than last year's O and could manage to get into the end zone when near the goal line.

                    as much as I hated that stupid offense we had when Gash was here, I loved it when they'd throw him the ball in the flats because the guy that tried to tackle him frequently got injured. There was nothing better than watching an opposing CB try to plow Gash only to end up sprawled out on the turf with a concussion.

                      I always thought Centers, though not a traditional blocking fullback, played great while he was in Buffalo. It seemed like any pass in the flat to him was good for at least five, six yards.

                        Im praying it doesnt telecast our plays too much. I remember shuttering when Antwan Smith and Sam Gash? (I think). Would go in on 1st and 2nd down then come out on 3rd. It became so that you knew we were running when they were in there. I hope we dont make it too obvious.

                            Would there have been anyone out of college that could have beaten Barnes out for the job? Not exactly a postion you'd want to stick a rookie.
