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!
i don't buy the blocking bit either. it's not the 2007 bills where the line couldn't hold up for 2 seconds. most downs where the RB could chip in on a block, he goes wide for the screen. and i've never seen either RB made into a turnstile this year.
Gailey just doesn't have it. He lost his mojo late last year, and he's second guessing himself because he knows fitz can't get anything done and he has no other tools. He's a pass first kind of guy and can't adapt. the Jerry Sullivan article was evident of this. He was mad that sullivan asked him if he should maybe give up coaching and OC at the same time. and he said, "i've been doing it this way the whole time." He doesn't even have a good track record for that defense to make sense.
and frankly, CJ makes the lines issues seem non existant. how many times has he run into the back of his own guy to bounce out and grab 5-50 yards? at least 2 x a game. if the bills blocked better, imagine him hitting a hole with speed. Then, maybe the guy would get winded.
I think we need 1000 fans to go out to the fieldhouse with signs that call for Chan to have C.J. Running laps. It would seem to me he just must not be running enough laps in this pop warner operation. Let's get it done!
I found this image from Spiller's college days. It really explains a lot! You would think the scouting department would have seen this problem before they drafted him!!!!
CJ wasn't winded for the few games that Jackson missed early in the year while Jackson was coming back from another injury. He also wasn't winded during the Miami game when he had 22 carries when Jackson was injured again. I'm willing to bet he won't be winded the last few games either while Jackson is out with ANOTHER injury that ended his season.
This is just a pathetic excuse for Gailey to try and shift the blame from him and pin it on Spiller. Whether it's because of contractual escalators in Spiller's contract or out of dedication, respect or to feel you are getting your monies worth out of the new contract to Jackson, Gailey is a complete idiot for rarely using Spiller especially in close games in the last 20+ minutes of the game.
Christ I'm at the age when RB's are usually retired, smoke cigarettes, about 20 pounds overweight and I rarely get any exercise and I could run 20 yards without getting winded enough where I would need to come out of the game.
We're talking about a conditioned athlete who has been doing this his entire life and Gailey is trying to use this winded BS for leaving him on the sidelines for most of the game even while he is shredding defenses apart. Gailey isn't the brightest HC out there but if he really thinks anyone outside of a complete hopeless homer is going to buy that excuse then he is even worse then I thought.
Christ them fat bastards on the DL run around more during the game without needing to be taken out due to being "winded" and he's trying to say Spiller is? This guy really needs to go.
