Mr. WEO

lol, he absolutely is.

That was almost all in 1 game. otherwise it was 3 games with 2, 4 and 9 yards. I will agree that he did "ok" in cleanup. But there was little to see as far as vision and burst go. Done a lot worse at RB#? Not recently. Moss as #3 last year before he was traded 5 games in was averaging more YPC. In 2021, Breida had better numbers in 9 games than Johnson did in 10. In 2019 Yeldon had more yards from scrimmage in 6 games than Ty just had. Marcus Murphy in 2018........ Not lately. And after his 600 yards year it has been a steady decline. McD/Dorsey/Brady didn't think he was worth the touches last season, obviously.

yes, every other GM covets Beane's day 3 picks.....moving up to #4!!!

A lot of people are repeating this. He had one appearance of notice (Dallas, 54 yards on 9 carries) running the ball. The rest of his games were 0, 0, 2, 11, 19, 19, 22 and 5 yards. What burst and vision are you referring to? He had so few touches, how was he 1/2 punch?

Most of his significant moves have been releasing guys, no?

Perhaps Williams is that missing piece to put them over the top.

If they draft a rookie WR who will have 7 TDs and 750-800 and 1st downs on 75% of his catches that would be great. But Davis was the best WR Beane has drafted.

Cousins was O'Connell's best chance to last another year or 2 as Vikings HC.

he would have to beat out Rico Dowdle. His history confirms that would not be possible.

I was mainly responding to the claim that this guy could be a RB! on other teams, which is absurd. As a (previous) RB on bad running teams, he couldn't get past bad RB2's. As the Bills R3, he's a warm body for a few touches a game. Singletary and Moss were mentioned in a different context.

Ask McD and Brady. They rarely used Johnson--even as a Breather for Cook (going with Murray instead). Or ask the Jets--they dumped him the season before (at a whopping 5.3 YPC!!). Or Detroit.... Johnson's yards per carry are from samples sizes so small that they are mostly meaningless. The fact that he averaged 22 inches more per carry than Murray doesn't move the needle. Clearly it didn't warrant more touches, and it hasn't throughout his career. This guy has been on a few bad RB rosters---and he still couldn't separate himself from the pack in the RB room. I get it--he's a cheap guy to send in for 3 plays a game to give Cook a rest. That's all he's ever been.

lol name 1 he's on his 3rd team in 5 seasons and has never had 275 yards rushing. In Detroit, he couldn't beat out Bo Scarborough for the RB@. In NYJ, he couldn't beat out Tevin Coleman or Zonovan Knight---and those were bad rushing Offenses, the bar was low.

It really wasn't much: 132 yards rushing and 88 receiving. Wouldn't it have been better to spread those touches (3-4 per game for Johnson) amongst Murray and Cook? Bills drafted Singletary and Moss and ultimately let them go because they didn't want to pay them second contract money down the road for what they were getting (the Bills got Hines for Moss--oof). They replaced these two, ultimately, with Murray and Johnson--the former an ancient journeyman, the latter a career journeyman scrub.

you can't build a roster by cycling bottom tier/end of career guys who are gone after contributing little for 1 or 2 years....over and over. Knox isn't progressing at this point. Kincaid could be a stud---if Brady would send him for other than 4 yard sideline dump offs. Shakir may be decent as a 3. Davis (he only split time with Brown for a year and Crowder for a year) took a beating on this board, but nearly all of his catches in 4 years were 1st downs or TDs. Now he's gone and the Bills will have to draft his replacement as none of the guys they have brought in are anywhere close to that. It's 2024. Other than the Diggs trade forever ago (and to say he's lost a step is to say Death Valley is really hot), what do the Bills have to show for all of these transient moves at WR?

Why do you feel you have special insight that the entirety of "national media" doesn't have? Why is the fact that the Bills have inexperienced young/energetic (according to the "media"--would that be "the national media"? lol) a benefit? Elam made "a" big play. Otherwise, it seems McD thinks little of this kid. Milano tore his ACL and broke his leg. What in your experience allows you to conclude that combination of injuries "does not linger"?

The long list is this: Benjamin, Kerley, Andre Holmes, Deonte Thompson, Robert Foster, McKenzie, Terrell Pryor (lol), Duke Williams, Kumerow, Emanuel Sanders, Crowder, Brown/Beasley (again!!), Tanner Gentry, Harty, Sherfield.... It isn't about how much money was NOT spend on these guys (they are all bottom salary feeders anywhere)--it's that with a roster really in need of WR help perennially, this is the parade that briefly passed through the locker room. They were low/zero impact signings who were usually quickly dumped.. Beasley and Brown were solid pickups. Beasley/Brown 2.0 midseason was beyond bizarre--a desperation move by a GM still struggling to find ball catching weapons. Now it seems the Bills are going all in on the draft , hoping for a hit at WR, to solve this serious and chronic gap.

wow, lol

adds to the long list of WR bums Beane has singed over the years. how many heads can he fit on Rushmore?

breaking news.... "already commuted": over a week ago, yes.

I'm an upgrade to Sherfield

this certainly will not help them solve this problem...

He's not battling undergrads.... Plus, he stepped out because of what he has at home......

Poyer led the league in tackles after massive gains

come on....the co-eds are much hotter at the U than at UB.....

Good news for the Bills passing game
