BADOLBILZ Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I am not particular happy that Mike G. was let go and I would have tendered him higher but a couple of things - In recent years the bills have found a back to man that 2nd spot......and now Jon Williams is getting pretty good reviews in this camp. I have been a fan of Williams and really thought when given his opportunity he was going to shine. His college tape jumps out at you and there are reports that he was not fully healed from that injury last year (I am starting to really wonder wtf our coaching staff from last year was doing....there is this trend of playing players that were not ready it seems. - If finding rb's is a mark of a good organization....we seem to be doing that I liked his college tape too. He was healthy and awful last year in a great run-offense though. A mark of a good organization is being ahead of the curve on trends........the Bills rarely are. The Pats tend to be the leader in that regard. See how they addressed the depth at RB.......that tells me that they feel that defenses are becoming increasingly more vulnerable to the run and they want fresh legs to exploit it. Bills have left themselves very thin at RB after the run game took their offense to levels they haven't seen since early in their SB run. Reminds me a bit of when they felt they had to trade Travis Henry because how could they split carries between he and Willis McGahee?.......then a season later the league was going to RB by committee.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Are all the QBs throwing to the same WR or not? Do all QBs throughout the league not have to deal with drops or injuries at the WR position? So the only way for Tyrod to be accurately evaluated is if he has all star WR and everyone has garbage? Got it ....ultimately, this is his "show me year" or he better call Mayflower......rehashing the past does nothing for me......clean slate, new era, new coaching/offense works for me.....I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and call 2017 his "audition year".....and in having two 1sts in 2018 says the QB positional outlook has pretty good potential.......when is the last time this club was positioned like this?...............

BADOLBILZ Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 15 TD's in 1988 is hardly modest. And Joe Cribbs is one of the most underrated running backs ever. Cribbs was spectacular! OJ, Terry Miller, Booker Moore, Joe Cribs, Greg Bell, Thurman Thomas, Antowain Smith, Travis, Wills, Marshawn, CJ.......man the list goes on! What do they all have in common?

I try not to judge past front office's mistakes against current front offices......the Henry/McGahee/Lynch/Spiller decisions were aweful.....but in the past. I really dont believe Jon Williams was 100 percent healthy last year.....by healthy I also mean having the mental confidence to go out and play your game at 100 percent....usually takes a full year with that injury. We are gonna find out pretty soon.......Jon Williams (like Dawkins) strikes me as a player that gets better when the real hitting starts just by the way they play the game.

PromoTheRobot Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Makes me sick he is being handed a starting role right now. Literally there is ZERO reason why he should be running with the ones. The dude sucks, plain and simple. Slow, terrible route runner, and has stone hands. Only thing he has going for him is that he is tall. Are you talking about Jones or Holmes?

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Are you talking about Jones or Holmes? I did a double take too. I assume Holmes, who has had a rough camp so far. Zay looks like a perfect number two option so far. Edited July 30, 2017 by WhitewalkerInPhilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Investing as much as they have into RB's has taken a toll on their rosters.........especially since the drought began.......when the league was becoming more and more passer friendly. If they get caught with their pants down at RB this year after letting MG walk and declining to address the position in a strong and deep RB draft.......that would be Billsy.

Coach Tuesday Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 15 TD's in 1988 is hardly modest. And Joe Cribbs is one of the most underrated running backs ever. Cribbs was spectacular! IIRC most of those TDs were scored on his patented "goal line leap" maneuver. He would highjump a pile of defenders on goal to go situations. It was his only skill.
