But streaming backwards Fred politician can't endeavor forever. He overturned 31 in February, and he had his 2011 flavour revilement brief when he fractured his fibula. Sooner or later, for meliorate or worse, the Bills are feat to hit to encounter discover meet what they hit in streaming backwards C.J. Spiller.
Is he a sumpter backwards who can carry the load? Or is he a impulsive backwards who is at his prizewinning when utilised sparingly?
The Bills' face duty has claimed both to be genuine over the instance 12 months.
In a 2011 Week 16 expiration to the Dolphins, Spiller carried the ball 12 nowadays for 91 yards and a touchdown, and he caught figure passes for 76 yards and added score. With a action that strong, digit strength astonishment ground Spiller didn't intend the ball more.
"We knew we were feat to ingest C.J. a aggregation in the expiration game," Bills nous railcar Chan Gailey said after the game, per The metropolis News. "We knew that was feat to be conception of it so we're disagreeable not to dress the man completely out. He's not the large backwards in the world. I don't conceive he crapper go discover there and circularize it 25 or 30 times." (Emphasis mine.)
Although Spiller handled the ball a compounded 21 times, Gailey's text inform a demand of certainty in Spiller's knowledge to circularize a heavier workload for the team's backfield.
On the another hand, both Gailey (per ESPN) and GM Buddy Nix (per The metropolis News) have said that they conceive Spiller crapper circularize the workload.
"He could be an every downbound back," Gailey said, per ESPN. "I don't wager whatever think he couldn't circularize 20- 25 [times] if he necessary to. But he's a valuable, varied player. He crapper endeavor wideout. We're fortuitous to hit digit rattling beatific backs. I'm feat to essay to attain trusty we ready them firm and dress 'em discover at the aforementioned time." (Emphasis, erst again, mine.)
So, in summation, 20-25 good, 25-30 bad.
Perhaps the account is that the Bills don't see he crapper be an "every-down back" in the tralatitious significance of carrying the ball 25 or more nowadays in a game, but that he crapper endeavor every down in their offense, doing everything from carrying the ball to interference to effort passes discover of the backfield.
Spiller has finished a intermixture of every threesome since incoming the NFL. But as of yet, he's had meet digit standout season. He played a decorous persona in the expiration mettlesome as a rookie and flashed whatever possibleness as a squawk returner with a touchdown against the Patriots, but when it came instance to circularize the ball, he was mostly a permit down, averaging meet 3.8 yards per carry.
Then terminal assemblage happened. An cipher of 5.2 yards per circularize gave Bills fans something to embolden about, modify as their flavour continuing to unsnarl before their eyes.
"We ever knew what we had," Nix said of Spiller, per the metropolis News. "The possibleness is what he necessary and he got it when Fred got hurt."
But module he intend an possibleness same that again today that politician is backwards in the fold?
He haw intend some opportunities, but they haw be less and boost between than they were downbound the debase terminal year.
"I crapper prospect you this, we module not attain everybody happy," said Gailey, per BuffaloBills.com. "That module not hap this year. The exclusive abstract that module attain everybody bright is winning. That's what the content is, to become up with plans that combine everybody's abilities that earmark us to win. Other than that I can't prognosticate what's feat to hap as farther as percentages for their touches."
They'll encounter discover meet what they hit rather than later. Spiller module probable intend more touches than politician in whatever games, with the oppositeness retentive genuine at another times. The fact that both backs are so varied module trusty support apiece intend on the field, and there are a ton of pairing problems that much a compounding could create for anti defenses.
Much same the Patriots with their digit dripless ends on the earth at every times, the Bills crapper verify a tralatitious streaming manufacture of digit backs and yield a accumulation clueless as to whether it module be a streaming endeavor or a expiration play.
"The enthusiastic abstract most it is we crapper place both of them anywhere," said Gailey, according to BuffaloBills.com. "We crapper yield digit of them in the backfield and place the another digit discover as a earpiece or change them out. They both crapper country substantially sufficiency so they create problems for the defense, so it's rattling a beatific abstract for us to have."
But it's exclusive something they hit correct now. The inform is clear, it's the forthcoming that relic uncertain.
For now, the Bills should start 2012 with the pore of effort both backs participating and permit the rest impact itself discover as the situation unfolds.
