Coach Tuesday Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 JWill was my favorite draft pick last year. I don't understand what happened to him when he got to the NFL - his explosiveness was gone and he became fumble-prone. Hopefully he gets himself in shape and focused because the opportunity is staring at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_with_it Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) DUI is 2 games fwiwI dont know about that Mcdonald received 8 games for first time offense last year. I think it really is up to Roger. Edited April 25, 2017 by Bill_with_it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racketmaster Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I like TD Mike too but the $ offered by New England was too much for a back up RB. For NE it is great as he can be a starter for a very reasonable price. As far as JW is concerned, I was not impressed by him last year but he was a rookie that was buried on the depth chart. He was coming off a foot injury and never really had an opportunity to get into a flow. There are many other examples of rookie runners who have improved after their first year. Melvin Gordon had a much better 2nd year after a very lackluster rookie season. So I do not want to write JW off yet. If he is looking healthy in workouts maybe we can hold off and use the 5th round pick on another corner or lb. We can also sign an undrafted rb and if needed sign a veteran during training camp. It is unfortunate we could not keep MG but the massive contract for McCoy does not allow for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROONDOGG55 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 im sure they will be drafting one this week That's very possible unless we go after another vet like Rashard Jennings or Jamal Charles. I highly doubt they take a contract for the vet minimum though. I dont know about that 'cdonald received 8 games for first time offense last year. I think it really is up to Roger. I don't think anyone knows for sure what will happen. either way, he most likely will not be available to start the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He was injured during rookie camp last year and struggled to catch up from there. I heard he dropped his body fat down to 4% and is faster than ever. Â Looking forward to seeing what he can do in his sophomore season. Yup. Give him a chance. Two years ago, most Bills fans didn't know who MG was and he was just a guy who got cut by a couple of teams. Â I believe in our run blocking and think the RB can be fairly interchangeable. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 8 game suspension is listed as violation of substance abuse policy. Edited April 25, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Jamal Charles would be a wicked free agent signing if he hadn't have blown out his leg 2 years ago. Hasn't been the same since. Bummer. Â If he was as healthy as ever, can you imagine teams trying to deal with him and McCoy? Defenses would be entirely wiped out in the 4th quarter and would be missing tackles as a result.

Deadstroke Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 ...if we get the version that looks like this: Â Â I realize it's a highlight film, but still... He impressed the crap outta me. I remember seeing those highlights last year but I had kinda forgot. Hmm, adequate replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2016-nfl-draft-closer-look-at-running-back-fumble-rates-ball-security/ Â His college rate was OK-bad from a fumbling perspective, but he also missed his senior year where he may have seen an improvement (or a regression). It does seem like something he needs to work on though. But by no means do i think he's going to fumble once every 13 carries like last year. Â A foot injury took his senior season... its also why we were able to draft him where we did. He didn't run at the combine. I don't see him as ever being more than a committee runner though.

BillsfanAZ Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Williams has talent. He had some nice runs in preseason. The Bills do not need him to be a homerun back, just hit the holes hard and move the sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Well Gilly flopped in Miami and Arizona before becoming Touchdown Mike. More like wasn't given a chance due to other players that were there...wonder how many guys are out of the league because they were stuck behind players for whatever reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 We had the best back-up RB in the league. Now the Patriots have the best back-up RB in the league. Enough of the JW bull crap. If he was any good we would have known last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
