If having to use poor RB’s like Omon and McIntyre backfires, then its on the front office. Cutting Rhodes was probably not the best move for the team. Why they would go with two guys that won’t give the offense much because they weren’t happy with Rhodes’ preseason is kind of perplexing.

As I said on another post, I would love to see Redmon from Pittsburgh in Blue, Red, andd white, but I would settle for wvwn Darius Walker or Alvin Pearman instead of Omon. He just looks like his is running in quicksand to me. He also do not like the vision he has showed. He is not as powerful as I though he would be coming out of college

obviously a running game is important in any football game but the Bills are built as a pass to set up the run type team (I hate to say, like the K gun was). And I don’t think that there is anyone out there that thinks we are going to shutdown NE or NO, which would mean that we have to outscore them. (which is also a frieghtening thaught…..). TB is awful and they are here for the home opener so I feel that this should be one of the easier games on the schedule.

In shootouts like NO and NE the running game usualy takes a back seat to throwing the football. Dominick showed on more than one occasion that he wasn’t brought here to block, either by missing assignments or just plain whiffing, In fact I wouldn’t be suprised to see McIntyre or a TE in the backfield as purely a pass blocker. If they are able to give Trent time he better be able to find some of those weapons on the outside, incld. Freddie Jackson.

Checking the practice squad details again… It looks like Omon would still be eligible if he is cut before week 6. So once Lynch is off his suspension, he can be cut but still go to the PS. But once Omon is on the roster for 6 games, it becomes his second “Accrued Season” and he’s no longer eligible for the PS ever again.

Letting go of Chambers and Rhodes is gonna come back and bite this team in the arse.

Maybe it’s time to rehash the Derrick Brooks thing again. Someone has got to pick him up, 36 isn’t too bad and if we’re going all out to win, who cares? At the rate we’re going, this team is gonna get gutted around this time next year.

Hell, the Blue Bombers gave up on Adam Jones and if it wasn’t for the combination of his questionable past and our backlog of DBs and Return men, I wouldn’t mind seeing him picked up either. He could even concievably take over return duties to give McKelvin more rest, but this is beside the point. We are weak at LB, and we have some dough. Plus imagine how awesome it would be to have Derrick Brooks on our team. Two hall of famers!

My take is that he really did not block very well and he also fumbled the ball quite a bit. Releasing him made sense, he sucked. The only reason you put a veteran in there is because you should be able to trust him and clearly Rhodes was committing very bad errors.

Maybe we should be thinking Ahman Green or Deuce McAllister – both are still unsigned and both are veterans that I believe are decent blockers and can pound the ball. Another option could be Warrick Dunn, tons of experience and a great option as a 3rd down back.

I hope we do pick up a veteran back before the season starts, otherwise I fear we are doomed. I’m also concerned about once Marshawn returns to the lineup that they will still miss the depth at the 3rd running back spot because he’s such a physical runner. They might be thinking let’s just get through the 3 game suspension and we’ll be OK, but what if Marshawn suffers an injury once he returns and misses a significant amount of time? Scary thought…….

I am concerned about the offensive line. 8 players for 5 spots at a position that is prone to injury. I bet they pick up a lineman before the weekend is out, I think they were banking on Rodd for practice squad, but he’s hurt. Tony Pashos for L. Walker anyone?

I like what they did at linebacker by keeping some new blood with upside. I’m not worried about running backs. It’s only three games and Freddie should be fine. I was not impressed with Rhodes.
