justin Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 With the A-Train likely out for this week, and even longer according to the Buffalo Bills Website, who would seem to get more carries, Fred Jackson or Dwayne Wright? Wright seemed to be the more likely candidate, but last week Jackson got more looks and some other sources are saying Jackson. Any Bills homers with insight on this issue?

abishagenaden Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not a homer, but I picked FJax up in a couple of leagues thinking he was going to get the call. Now I'm not so sure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feverdreams Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I've got Fred Jackson on my bench and was thinking about plugging him in and sitting Kevin Jones (a MINN.) Is this a horrible move? I need the Win to get into the playoffs and see Jackson as having a lot more upside this week, but if Wright eats into his carries that theory goes out the window. Any more thoughts on this would be appreciated from Buffalo fans. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonKnight Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Is this a horrible move? Yes. Last I checked GB has a great run D and KJ put up 122 total yards and a TD on them. Minn's run D #'s are inflated by thier horrid pass D. Droughns, of all people, ran all over them last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturphy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 believe it or not i had to ride the Freddie Jackson train last week and have to do it again this week too Ya know... FWIW: I remember being really impressed by Fred Jackson in the preseason. As I recall, he ran the way Ryan Grant runs. With purpose. It wouldn't surprise me that much to see him put up numbers. He's a feel good story too. Was living with his grandmother before the season started. Jauron seems to like him quite a bit. Jackson came from Jauron's alma mater. Coe college? Or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulOttCarruth Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Bills | F. Jackson likely to start Week 13 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:42:11 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson is likely to start Week 13 due to the injuries to RB Marshawn Lynch (ankle) and RB Anthony Thomas (calf).

GB only let up 3 TD's prior to meeting the lions and KJ and he managed to drop one on them with a decent YPC, IIRC. I think at this point hes an every week starter.

Griffon31 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Any idea how long A-Train will be out? Will he be back this year and will he be back before Lynch? I have A-Train but not Lynch, and just need RB help so would pick up Jackson if he has a couple of good weeks of playing time in him, but if A-Train comes back next week I'll just wait, I don't need to win this week, it won't change where I end up in the playoff, but I need a starter next week. Yes I know I'm hurting badly right now for RB's see sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know I'm hurting badly right now for RB's see sig. The news is a torn muscle near the top of the calf and bottom of the knee. It doesn't sound good for A-Train. My guess would be Lynch is back next week anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 yes Holy cow! That was bad - the only thing I can think that would justify that is he had to think the play was still alive and/or the play was coming back his direction. If that was blatant, well, that's real bad mojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
