Don't they still have Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon? They're as stacked as we are.

Coach Doug Marrone said Spiller is out indefinitely after hurting his left shoulder while falling hard to the turf following a 53-yard run in the second quarter. Spiller was in tears while being carted off the length of the field.

Jackson's status is uncertain, too. He had his head in his hands while being carted from the sideline with a groin injury late in the first quarter. Marrone said the team is awaiting tests to determine the severity of Jackson's injury.

The injuries depleted Buffalo's backfield to third-string running back Anthony Dixon and fullback Frank Summers.

What do the Bills realistically have to trade that the Rams would want? They already traded their 1 and 4, although they did pick up a 5 in trade and get the niners 4 or maybe 3. What sort of pick would be worth it to the Rams to trade valuable depth - a 2nd year player who can be quite good when healthy? I doubt that the Bills would offer enough - they're better off picking up a vet in the last year of his contract on the cheap instead.

I think this was injury related and a "game" Fisher played. I think after the big game by Mason last week they wanted a chance to get him some more work and it gave them an opportunity to rest Stacy for the week. I will be very surprised if the trade him after working so hard to replace SJax for a while. Having too many good backs is way better a problem to have than not enough... I don't see a trade in the works.

 

[RamzFanz]

Let me start by saying, I'm very glad that Mason has been so productive the past 2 weeks. He looks like he could be the #1 back (if he isn't already) this year and beyond. Has a nice mix of speed, power, elusiveness, vision, burst, and hands. If he can keep working on his pass pro he could factor into the game on 3rd downs as well.

Benny's been a good 2nd option this year, offering similar things to Mason, in addition to being a good 3rd down back.

HOWEVER I don't think Zac Stacy deserves to be in the dog house. The guy may not have the breakaway speed of Mason, but he does a lot of things really well. I'm still very high on the kid and couldn't help but feel bad for him standing on the sideline all day. You run Tavon up the gut 5 times, yet Zac doesn't get a single carry.

I hope Zac earns more opportunities to get the ball moving forward.

I'm all for seeing what TM had to offer and going with the hot hand. ZS hasn't been exceptional this season. If having ZS on your team and him not being the top dog is a proble, I'm glad it's a problem they have.

The TA up the middle calls...

 

[RamzFanz]

I was wondering if they didn't have a trade in the works and that's why he was held out so as to not get him injured and mess up the trade.

 

[RamzFanz]

Isn't he a team leader though? I can't see them giving up on him so quickly.

So is Hill. That didn't hold them back.

 

[RhodyRams]

and did anybody see the Harvin to the JETS trade coming

Exactly, their running backs are Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown now. They don't need to trade.

I like Stacy a lot but I disagree I think Cunningham cab do everything Stacy can do and better. Not to say Stacy isn't good but as of right now I would have Mason as the starter and Cunningham#2 then Stacy #3

I agree. I like Cunningham better than Stacy. The Cunningham/Mason combo is looking pretty good. Save Zac for holding leads and eating clock.

 

[Ballhawk]

Stacy doesn't have break away speed but he is a very good short yardage back and will always have a job on this team when healthy. Especially since Mason has trouble with pass protection and Benny has an injury history too.

 

[fastcat]

I don't recall ever seeing another RB other than Stacy carrying 4-5 defenders on a regular basis. We can't get rid of that

 

[Legatron4]

Zac doesn't fumble. I was afraid Mason would fumble a lot with the way he holds the ball.

 

[Marq]

.

this is the reason they drafted mason. you can't count on stacy the whole year or even the whole game.

the rams have built themselves a good group of rbs.

.

They drafted him because of his value being higher than the pick. The same with Sam. Many of the good coach's pick best available after a certain point in the draft. Mason was a no brainer that far down in the draft.

if im not mistaken zac fumbled in the dallas game.

yea he will be 3rd string. ive been saying it all the time . the further Benny got from his injury the better he was going to be. Stacy is healthy he wasnt a inactive. Remember how fisher Said Hill still had a job when he was healthy? You see how that turned out so I wouldnt be surprised if Benny and Mason are ahead of Stacy

 

[Memphis Ram]

if im not mistaken zac fumbled in the dallas game.

And he fumbled vs. the Bucs, too.

 

[Dodgersrf]

The one in TB, Stacy took a hard leg whip the the face. I don't put that one on him.

Masons fumble today better not become a regular part of his game.
