Fozzy

[rodeo]

Wegher broke a long run in the 4th quarter of the preseason against the residue at the bottom of the Bills' depth chart. Fozzy made those plays in the playoffs and was a threat to score every time he touched the ball last year.

Todman may have threatened Fozzy's spot tonight, but they all deserve more looks and chances before anything is decided.

Caught quite a bit of flack on here on Thursday for suggesting Fozzy is expendable this year. 

 

Was anyone's mind changed tonight? 

Is "flak" really the right word?  At least as I remember that thread, it wasn't so much shooting you down or disbelieving your opinion and comments about Todman (as in "how could you dare say that?!") but rather it was Huddlers expressing fondness for Fozzy and thus surprise and dismay that he might be gone. 

He stepped up for us in an important way last season and he's a player a lot of us like and had assumed would again be on the roster this year. 

Agree Todman & Wegher made some good plays last night.  The competition is real.  Fozzy could well be on the bubble as much as I'd like to see him make it.  Hopefully the competition makes him and all the RB candidates better.  May the best player win.

As some said on the original thread, it's a good thing that G'man will base the roster decision on who is the best player to help the team rather than sentiment, cause I for one would too easily tend to keep the guy I already know & like and not necessarily give the new guys a fair chance.

Going up against the Bills starters with almost no holes opened for him the few times he did run.  We will need to see a little more.  I imagine he would have had a field day in the 3rd and 4th qtrs had he played.

Quite frankly it was CAP that ran the worst.

I am not knocking Fozzy at all. I wish we could keep all these guys. 

 

But Fozzy has some younger bucks behind him that are flashing tons of potential. Not a good position to be in for him as a backup RB. Throw in the fact that other teams are in desperate need of a RB... could be trade bait time.

He can make things happen in open space especially on screens and draws. He has potential to take it to the house on any play and is a decent kick returner. No reason to overreact about 5 carries against one of the best front 7s in football.

NOW I am starting to agree with you. Whichever doesn't make it between Todman and Fozzy would be excellent trade bait since we cant stash them. That said, my first thought after last night was that Ward, Byrd and Wegher will all ultimately be on the practice squad this season.

Idk if there is another team with such abundance of rook/soph takent at one position. 

[Wundrbread33]

If Wegher make more plays on kickoff coverage like he did last night, he will for sure be on this squad.

What??

Disagree 

I will watch again but from what I saw CAP did the worst. Todman however was playing against scrubs.

Cap had a solid debut. 

[TheRed]

Tough night for Fozzy, but I would like to see a little bit more before writing him off.

From what I saw so did Fozzy and Todman. I will be happy if we keep resting Stew and let this battle play out.

Hillarious how some are trying to write him off after 1 preseason game. He was the only RFA that Gettleman gave 2 years to. Stewart, rivera, and GEttleman have all said they are comfortable with him as the back up RB. He's not going anywhere.
