Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just heard on Sunday Night Football that they said the Bills called about McCoy? This is the first time I've heard this and have heard it was the other way around. Still not in favor of this trade as a shifty back can be found much cheaper (we should have went after Sproles). Of course the way Rex is coaching we would be whining about how bad Alonzo would be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If we had a QB that could throw a swing pass McCoy would have another 50-75 yards receiving a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 McCoy is a special weapon in the receiving game. Most NFL backs cannot do what McCoy can do in space and in the screen game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sproles Yes, Sproles is a great there too. What makes McCoy special is he can run and catch. Harder to key on. Sproles is not a 3 down back but a special package type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felonious Monk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah but would want to give up young star for old OVER paid one? Kiko: Games missed in NFL career due to injuries: 21 of 39 Shady: Games missed in NFL career due to injuries: 8 of 103 Sure, Shady gets banged up. And he suffered a catastrophic leg injury in high school. That was nine years ago. Kiko has suffered three of those in the past five years. I think Shady has another three years in him. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see that being the case for Kiko. You bet I make that trade, despite the fact that the wife and I have matching Kiko jerseys.

Doc Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If he were healthy he's the exact kind of versatile, play making LB this defensive scheme sorely lacks But he's rarely healthy and that factored heavily into the decision to trade him. Sproles Sproles is overrated. There's a reason he keeps bouncing from team to team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sproles In your scenario we would have Kiko on IR and Sproles(assuming he would sign here) as opposed to Mccoy. I'd rather have McCoy than Sproles and Kiko on IR at this point. Before you say 'who knew Kiko would get hurt?, I'm just doing this revisionist thing like you are.

I'd rather have McCoy than Sproles and Kiko on IR at this point. Before you say 'who knew Kiko would get hurt?, I'm just doing this revisionist thing like you are. I wouldn't say "knew," but I had a high degree of suspicion that he would. That he got hurt that soon was more surprising. And let me clarify my comments on Sproles. As a complementary RB, he's fine. But he's not a featured RB and you still need a workhorse. He is what Spiller is/likely will become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 3.9YPC, 60.8 YPG, 1TD and doesn't have a run longer than 20 yards. Yeah Whaley!!! That is a productive 25 million going to a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PO16FFS Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 McCoy finally seems healthy and the explosiveness he has is sick. Im a huge Fred Jackson fan, but Fred has nothing on McCoy. Yesterday on Sunday Night Football I saw Kiko on the sidelines with no equipment! Actually he let me see him with no equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 For what he is doing in Buffalo can be done cheaper and perhaps even better!! He's been injured and you know that. Lets see how it plays out. Percy/Watkins/Clay/McCoy have all underperformed for various reasons: injuries to them, or injuries to their QB, and/or injuries to the OL.
