Dixon and Gore?

Hi guys, first time I've gotten involved on this site, I'm a Bills fan (no related comments needed, I get it lol). I've been fairly high on Dixon since he was drafted, and was somewhat disappointed to see him land behind Gore. My question is, do ya'll see him having a bigger role in the offense this year, and actually racking up some yards/points?

He has made an art out of losing his feet (tripping) out of nowhere

Back on board. Now time to trade Mays for Clausen

Year 2 and he's still dancing in the backfield

We’ve seen good things from time to time with him, but his backfield dancing has been a big problem.

Im not high on him.

Hes strong but he needs to become more north-south. In my opinion he’s just too slow to be an NFL HB.

I'd be quicker to believe Kendall Hunter

will be an impact player this year than Anthony Dixon.

Dixon is supposed to see the field a bit as a FB this year, but other than that I can’t see much of an “expanded role” for him. I’ll be surprised if he’s ever a feature back.

We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.

Unfortunately

Dixon doesn’t have the vision or instincts to play RB at this level.

MSU used him well by running wide line splits and multiple WR sets with a QB option game — which creates wide holes that Dixon was doomed never to see again the moment he declared for the draft.

If that's true

why doesn’t every college do that? If you can turn mediocre RB’s into stat-mongerers, why not?

It's moving that way

Seriously. Which makes it very hard for NFL scouts to evaluate skill players. But many chose to use speedier backs instead of a spread power attack. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

But for the NCAA coaches, it’s gold. You can do quite much without having top talent — and there isn’t enough top talent to go around.
