So does that mean Spiller will get more than 9 carries? Or does Chan like the matchups with Choice carrying the ball?

I thought I heard he had concussion like symptoms in the 4th quarter yesterday.
Jackson was knocked silly on that last fumble.. likely has a concusion, but heaven forbid and NFL team diagnose and treat those correctly
RIP Tommy D!

If you make something "Idiot-proof", they'll only make better idiots!
Well, here you go 'All in for Spiller' fans.

Good, I won't have to be worried about the running backs fumbling every time they get the ball.

True test for Spiller... Miami has a great run D. This is a week where he coudl prove himself, and cement his spot as the starting RB for this season and going forward for next
Nix made a comment last week about getting CJ the ball more and the Media and it was something along the lines of """all you guys clamoring for CJ to get the ball more will be the same ones blaiming us for usuing him too much if he gets hurt"""
now while i'm not a media member, but just and avg joe who's been saying that CJ should be the #1 back no questions asked... (the guy is still averaging over 7ypc... keep giving him the ball until he proves that its just an fluke/product of too few carries to long runs) but i certainly wouldnt blame the coach/FO if he got hurt in a game, and i know the guys on WGR laughed when they heard that too

He was out cold on the field. You could see him go stiff with what looks like a fencing response.
Watch Fred's hands and arms as he's lying on the ground, he's definitely out cold, but I think his hands are clenched and arms straightened, which would be a bad sign.

Take a rest, Fred. You got a case of the fumbly wumblies, but I still love ya.
Oh, and CJ is the #1 back. You're just there to teach him how to block and to spell him from now on.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.
i like freddy but good now we get a proper amount of spiller

It's pretty scary and is now commonly used to diagnose concussions. In MMA or boxing it would get you a 90 day licence suspension.
In the NFL the dirtbag that hit you flexes for the camera. The NFL has a big concussion problem, and the more people learn about how much damage is caused, the less they enjoy watching it.
When Jackson got up, Brandon Spikes flexed his muscle in what I viewed as a demeaning taunt. Keep in mind, a few plays earlier he had been penalized for a helmet to helmet hit on Fitz.
Realizing the Jackson hit was a shoulder to head contact and legal, the NFL should fine Spikes HEAVILY for the Fitz hit and the taunting of Jackson.
he is out to hurt someone and this is exactly the same stuff that the NFL dismantled the Saints organization for.
Anything less is complete hypocrisy.

Apparently, Nix must have forgotten that Spiller got hurt in week 3 against Cleveland... I don't recall anyone saying "See, we used him too much and now he's hurt!"
Now, if the Bills were running him 50 times a game, he might have a point... But, in how many games has Spiller even gotten double digit carries?
Hell, if Spiller got 15/5 (15 carries, 5 passes thrown to him) I wouldn't be complaining... But, how many games has he even gotten that?
