Heitz Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) MG cut by Arizona too. Banyard will be fine. I don't understand why Bills fans aren't rooting for him instead of trying to tear him down? He looked really good in the preseason. I'm pretty sure the coaches know more than we do and want him on the team for a reason. We always want what we can't have Edited October 17, 2017 by Heitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) im confused, was not overpaying for a backup RB that hasnt done all that much mean the difference between missing and making the playoffs? Got nothing against Gillislee, but if people think hes worth that kinda cash to watch most of the game from the bench, then we really have problems here.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 How well he fares could... could have just a bit to do with how well our offensive line plays. Enter Karlos. Enter TD Mike. Enter Rattlesnake Joe. It's all gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I think Banyard's run style suits the zone blocking scheme better, he has a good jump cut and vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 blah. Mike G. was too much for a backup RB. Money to be spent elsewhere. If Shady gets hurt, I think we will find another RB out there who can step in (D. Williams?). How well he fares could... could have just a bit to do with how well our offensive line plays. Enter Karlos. Enter TD Mike. Enter Rattlesnake Joe. It's all gravy. I totally forgot about Karlos. He did zilch after leaving Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 He wears #22. Nuff said. Just as Reggie Bush did last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 ....whose crystal bawls forecasted Gilly's OBD performances?.....prolly several WTF's posted with his signing....so why can't Banyard be yet another find in the same vein?....

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 They saw something in Banyard they really liked over Williams, my guess is he could handle more of a workload if McCoy is injured? I'm not too worried about the backup position, even if Gillislee were still on the team he's a huge step back from McCoy and we'd be in trouble just like most teams who lose a top player.

Fixxxer Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 "We were able to let Mike Gillislee go because of J Williams." Just another lie they feed us. Wait till the Jets shred this team. The Jets defense could and will give us fits, but their offense will not shred our D, far from it, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) GPA? ROI We always want what we can't have even when what we have is not what we need but familiar You can't always get what you waaant NoYou can't always get what you waaant But if you try sometimes you get what you need Lets give Joe a little love can we ? No reason not to really. I think Banyard's run style suits the zone blocking scheme better, he has a good jump cut and vision. this is the score on him. fits well with O line scheme. does not matter how i felt about Mike Karlos, or Jonathan. Joe is our guy now ! Edited September 9, 2017 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I like Gillisee as a player, but I don't buy the notion that Buffalo is weaker at RB without him. I saw nothing from Banyard in preseason that suggested he can't do for Buffalo what Gillislee did, and much to suggest he can and will. I also like that in Tolbert and Taiwan Jones, Buffalo has diversity in that they are completely different running backs. Their different characteristics and skill sets will allow the Bills to do different things than they could when depending on Shady and Gillislee and not much else.

He's been a has-been for three years, but I get the point that if the OL is very good and there is sufficient passing threat, then there are a lot of RBs that might be reasonably productive. A lot of ifs there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
