qwksndmonster Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think during camp Rexy was trying to get over his viscous fear of Fred Jackson, which had been instilled in him through year after year of the dreadful stress of Freddy Action Jackon being on the schedule twice as an opponent. I can't really blame our coach. Freddy is a class act, a soldier, and a freakin' badass. He was never the biggest or fastest, but man does he have the vision. Will always have a place in my heart for #22. Obvious Wall of Fame addition. I think I may have to get a Freddy jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 ^ The vision is just uncanny. Over the last 3 or 4 years, there were multiple times where he'd appear to be just about the slowest guy on the field (other than a few linemen), but he'd run in a direction, run to a space, then he'd suddenly shift slightly another way, and all of a sudden it's Jackson for 8, 14, 34, whatever. Uncanny. This also caught my eye. Think Tom Brady's interested in #22?

This is where statistics lie, the NFL doesn't consider half of the guys playing for the Bills actual quarterbacks so the hits and sacks didn't count.

That Aud Smell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Rex at his press conference today confirmed that Taylor will start at QB. Interestingly, he also said that the team will keep 3 QBs. So maybe that was part of the rationale in waiving F-Jax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well, the fan wants the team to move in a new direction, to adopt winning ways. As much as Fred is loved by the fan base, he really isn't part of the long term future of the team. Godspeed, Fred, may you land in a good place. And I bet Kaleta's out the door too, and for the same reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think there's something to this. He does seem to have a sense of the moment - which includes having that sixth sense pocket awareness thing. I'm just worried that he's going to get broken in half. My biggest worry as well. When I went to the Panthers game and watched him, I was worried that he was too quick to leave the pocket when he had guys running open downfield. But the last two, coupled with some reports from camp, have convinced me he can make a living in the pocket. I can't overstate how much that part of his game has evolved since VT and how important it is for him to achieve his potential. Very happy for the kid to get the opportunity. GO BILLS!!!

That Aud Smell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Rex also acknowledged in his press conference that the team is not better off without F-Jax (from strictly an on-field standpoint), and hinted that it was a decision made out of a business necessity. Are they really that close to the cap? Maybe the Dareus negotiations played a role in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case they should've cut Cassel For a team who's second leading concern coming into the season if offensive line play, cutting the league's best blitz-blocker just doesn't add up; unless Karlos Williams proves capable at it or the offensive line has greatly improved, which they very well might have.

A Dareus contract shouldn't matter because it won't hit the cap until next season, unless part of the deal is to rip up the last year of his rookie deal, which I would find odd to do unless it's a total deal breaker.

Good point. I'm way outside my realm of competence when the NFL salary cap stuff comes up. Way too many moving parts for me to comprehend.

Bmwolf21 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thaat does make sense, however, I'd still keep whatever Freddy has over Bryce "butterfingers" Brown Not cool with FJax getting cut and keeping Bryce "and the ball comes loose!!" Brown. Meaning that the team kept wasting high-round picks on RBs when they had a perfectly capable one on hand? Lynch, Spiller, McGahee....don't worry about the lines. Or QB. Keep grabbing RBs in round 1. I'm not sure he's right, but if he is, I hope it's Cassel who is gone. There's just no need to play it safe. Same here.
