Gilliam is what you want in a FB.. Adding him helps with the run game, with play-action in the passing game and with Special Teams.. This is a good signing that helps us and hurts the Bills.
 
I'm good with this signing.

Makes sense. A lot of people want a blocking TE, but I like the idea of getting that from a FB instead and signing a move TE to fill some of the route tree vacated by Diggs' release. It's obviously best if you can have guys who do everything well but sometimes you have to be able to go to different personnel groupings for different things.

Makes more sense to me than signing a blocking TE who would probably cost more

I guess no one wants or expects a FB to be able to catch passes so you're putting a lineman in I formation

I'd love to see a return to a Kevin Turner type of FB who can run and catch too but I guess that's ancient history

Regardless we all know how frustrated our goal line runs were last year - I'd think Gilliam helps punch through the line in those situations to improve a weak point from last year

I know he’s a poor athlete and weak. That’s enough…

Just like your BS claims that Linderbaum is a JAG??? Seriously. Just stop with the garbage that's not supported by anything in reality.

They measure athleticism every year at the combine and at pro days…. but you’re right, that’s just science.

Is it? Develiin was decent catching passes, though not used that much.. With guys like Stevenson and Henderson at RB, it's tough to take the ball out of their hands.

He...can improve, you know. He'll be 24 next year.

If only TB12 didn’t basically hate NE and own the Raiders. Dude was all-time great sneaker despite vastly inferior athleticism to Drake.
