Bills RB Fred Jackson ruled out

Don't any of you get me wrong, I think Spiller could ruin our day, but his dislike of running between the tackles hurts their play action. Fitzpatrick is a far below average passer outside the numbers, so no play action only helps us clog the linebackers underneath and middle zones, which is where Fitzpatrick makes his hay. Spiller lacks some toughness, so I think when he is in pass pro, we need to make sure he takes a little extra (wink, wink).

Spiller has become a dangerous guy this year, especially with more carries. Hope the Hawks D is up for the challenge. It helps to know this early in the week.

Yes and no. Jackson isn't as explosive but is a more accomplished back..There is a reason he is the started... He is much better in pass protection and receiving than Spiller.
