Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @christrapasso I expect #Bills to use (or try out) Archer as fulltime kick returner & RB / WR / end around / ghost motion / jet sweep offensive hybrid dude Dri Archer: 4.26 Ronald Darby: 4.38 Kolby Listenbee: 4.39 Sammy Watkins: 4.43 (Roster long shot, Marquise Goodwin: 4.27) 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻 @joebuscaglia #Bills now have the 2nd/3rd fastest 40 times in NFL history after claiming Dri Archer. My full analysis of the move: http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/bills-claim-lightning-quick-rb-dri-archer I've seen a 4.38 for Gilmore somewhere as well.

Coach Tuesday Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've seen a 4.38 for Gilmore somewhere as well. Really? His play speed is closer to 4.70... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Kevon Seymour also ran a 4.39 at the combine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 91 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'll just say that I have picked up Archer in Madden and he is absolutely amazing. Best back in football. Just last season he finished with 4,400 yards rushing, 500+ yards receiving, and 58 total touchdowns. In just 5 seasons he is just 30 Tds shy of the rushing TD record and approx 6,000 yards shy of the all time rushing yardage mark. I'll keep you all posted when he breaks the records. But I think it'll be in 2 seasons. 99 speed 96 acceleration Just saying Hahaha funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 91 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 on another note, years ago I managed to get 68 sacks in 1 season with Aaron Maybin. 3 years with shawn merriman on the left end begot me 27 25 and 22.5 sacks.... SAVAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I reached out to a few Steeler fans and they said Archer couldn't beat out a guy to be the 3rd string returner. I think the Bills are ok for wanting to take a look - but I don't think he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Really? His play speed is closer to 4.70... He's been timed as low as 4.28 and I think that his combine time was 4.38. It certainly doesn't feel like he is playing that fast but maybe it's because of his size? Sometimes it's hard to tell on a bigger guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Gilmore is fast. Mckelvin was too. I think graham had better 100m, 200m and splits than Goodwin. Goodwin had a better PR in one race that I can't remember. I'd bet graham was among the fastest track athlete in the league at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemson Bills Fan Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I reached out to a few Steeler fans and they said Archer couldn't beat out a guy to be the 3rd string returner. I think the Bills are ok for wanting to take a look - but I don't think he makes the team. This.. I was excited at first, but then saw a tweet that his longest return for the steelers was 38 yards. I can't find it now but either way that isn't too promising. My buddy who is also a Pitt fan said he couldn't find holes in the return to save his life. Here's to hoping his vision improves!

I just wanted some perspective from the fans that saw him play and/or waited for him to develop into something. That the team puts a great WR in for PR's isn't an indication they were wrong about Archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, Jones had a total of -4 punt return yards through 8 games for the Chargers when Pittsburgh signed him.

That the team puts a great WR in for PR's isn't an indication they were wrong about Archer. They are the same team that offered a big deal and were ready to let Antonio Brown walk. Wallace turned it down so they gave it to Brown. They aren't perfect. In regards to Archer, he hasn't had success in the NFL and he may not make the roster. He is a dynamic athlete and can fly. Give him a look and of it works out we should be thrilled. If not, it really doesn't matter. There is no risk associated with the pick-up but potentially great rewards. It's like someone handing you a scratch off ticket. The worst case scenario is that you wasted the time scratching it off.

mrags Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Why were you playing as the Jets?i meant back when he was on the Bills. Maybin hasn't been in madden in years. 3 years with shawn merriman on the left end begot me 27 25 and 22.5 sacks.... SAVAGEmy buddy uses DT Aaron Donald and in 5 years has broken Bruce Smiths sack record. He's never finished a season with less than 42 sacks.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Bills claimed him off of waivers. SPEED!!! He will have a shot to be the return guy. yay! more track athletes that can't play. Why is this even pinned. on another note, years ago I managed to get 68 sacks in 1 season with Aaron Maybin. litteraly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract could only go to one and if Wallace had signed it Brown would have almost certainly hit FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
