Twitter is Rightfully Furious With Bills RB LeSean McCoy For Spoiling the Ending to Avengers

’11 years of Marvel movies have been interconnected through the Avengers franchise but the latest release–aptly named, Avengers: Endgame–marks the culmination of it all. As tends to happen when a series ends, some serious plot twists may or may not happen. McCoy, who saw the movie just one day after its release, didn’t seem to care that many people hadn’t yet seen the movie to watch it for themselves and proceeded to Tweet away. As if the internet needed another reason to dislike him.’

LeSean McCoy spoils Avengers: Endgame ending, Twitter erupts (rest easy — no spoilers here)

‘We certainly will not divulge anything McCoy shared, but it goes without saying many people are furious at McCoy. The Twitterverse blasted McCoy for his indiscretion. Some of those tweets are totally inappropriate – anyone who would wish a career-ending injury on someone just for what McCoy did needs counseling. Some of the other tweets … well, they speak for themselves.’

Bills grab RB Devin Singletary in Round 3 of the NFL Draft

‘While at Florida Atlantic, Singletary appeared in 38 games across three seasons. He posted a career year in 2017, wherein he rushed for 1,918 yards and scored 32 rushing touchdowns. Singletary also added a single receiving touchdown in ’17; the only receiving touchdown of his collegiate career. Singletary’s collegiate rushing total was just south of 4,300-yards over those three seasons in the Conference USA (4,287).’

Bills trade back into third-round, take TE Dawson Knox in the NFL Draft

‘Knox is a converted quarterback, but spent parts of three seasons at Ole Miss at his current position of tight end. His collegiate numbers are not eye-popping by any measure, but it is important to remember that there were numerous other high-tier offensive talents on the Ole Miss roster during Knox’s time at the school. He reeled in 39 career receptions for 605-yards, including a career-high 321-yards receiving in 2017.’

Capaccio: Bills hoping major turnover means big turnaround for OL

‘The big question may be, where does all this leave Dion Dawkins? Dawkins started the last two seasons at left tackle after the Bills traded up to get him in the second round in 2017. Some believed he was more suited for guard. After some struggles last year, it’s possible the Bills move him inside to compete with the other names mentioned, Or they could gauge the trade market to try and fetch an asset for him. Or, of course, Dawkins could simply trot back out as the starting left tackle once again, protecting Josh Allen’s blind side.’

Oliver: ‘I don’t think I found my home. I think my home found me’

‘”I won’t be playing nose tackle, I’ll be playing three-technique. I feel most comfortable at nose. I feel like my skillset is rare. I can help guys on the outside by getting pressure up the middle. You get sacks, you win games… What I can do better than anyone else is simply run around and play as hard as possible.”‘

Bills take running back Devin Singletary with 74th overall pick in 2019 NFL Draft

‘As for where he fits in, I don’t think this necessarily spells the end for McCoy with the Bills. Both he and Gore are in the final year of their respective contracts, which means there will be a natural turnover at running back into 2020. With the addition of Singletary, they have a piece to develop and learn from the two veteran running backs and someone that could play into the backfield equation once McCoy and Gore move on.’

Bills trade up to draft Oklahoma’s Cody Ford 38th overall

‘”We had a great conversation about the way I played. They liked the way I played, they liked the style, the physicality and things like that,” he said. “They said, ‘Where can we play you?’ And I was like, ‘Anywhere. I’m ready for whatever, honestly.'”‘
