    Re: RB Antonio Andrews. The #Bills wanted to sign him, and he had a solid $ offer. Andrews wanted to stay with #Titans, who promoted him

      Phillip Tanner? Well that's the absolute least exciting move they could have made at RB.

      9 rushing attempts for 12 yds last year. Sweet.

        Who cares.........Fred will be back in 4 weeks and we have Dixon and Brown to carry the load.

        You think any vet running back will sign here knowing he'll be the odd man out once Fred comes back?

          There's no guarantee FJ will be able to perform like he did the rest of the season.

            Yeah I doubt he gets any carries this week, but there were definitely a lot more intriguing options than Tanner. But whatever, I'm not crying about it.

            I do think any vet RB would sign anywhere if it meant collecting a few game checks. How's not being with a team better? And if CJ goes on IR that opens a roster spot for a RB.

              Who's really available? Felix Jones? I don't know who this guy is but as stated by Ed, I'm not upset. We have Brown and Dixon who can shoulder the load while Fred is on the mend.

                  Half way through the season, I'm not sure who else you expected to be available. He's a body, and nothing more than that.

                    Tanner will be active. He's special teamer.

                    Dixon moves full time to RB. I guess Marrone likes his 4 - 5 yard run on 1st downs (no cut, straight ahead pile moving, mind you). Then Brown comes on 2nd down ...

                        This guy's a beast!

                        Move over Fred Jackson and Adrian Peterson.

                          Ironically Tanner's collegiate numbers put Brown's to shame.

                            RB are a dime a dozen...I like what they have even without CJ and Fred.
