Orchard Park, N.Y. -- There is a growing sentiment within the Buffalo Bills fanbase that running back LeSean McCoy’s best days are behind him.
After another disappointing performance last week against New England, McCoy’s season rushing average dipped to 3.2 yards-per-carry. That number ranks 49th in the NFL. Just Detroit’s bruising back LeGarrette Blount, who’s used primarily near the goal line, has a lower average per rush.
Many fans are hoping the Bills move on from McCoy in the offseason ahead of his 31st birthday, but Bills coach Sean McDermott seems keen on keeping the six-time Pro Bowler.
“Overall I’m really excited about where we’re going and LeSean being a part of that,” McDermott said Wednesday before the team’s first practice ahead of the season finale against the Miami Dolphins. "I know this year, to your point, wasn’t what he had hoped it would be. The biggest thing I want to see is what we’re going to do to get it back to where it needs to be. I think he’s committed to that cause, as are we."
