billsbackto81 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Can a rookie in his second pro game do this to this Bills D? Someone seems to think so. I know certain ex pro analysts have grudges against certain teams but it seems guys like LT and Steve Smith always have trashy things to say about the Bills. I like the kid, even drafted him on my fantasy team but no way he goes for a double buck against the Bills. Can't seem to post the link. It's on the NFL.COM home page under Bold Predictions. Yeah, really bold! Like I said, I drafted him. I usually don't like using players I have when they play the Bills but it's either him or Rawls. Decisions.

Doc Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 LOL! Despite just getting 85 total yards last weekend against the lowly 49'ers, he's going to eclipse 200 yards against the Bills?

CommonCents Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Didn't Hunt almost do that last week against a BB defense? It's far fetched for sure but him against the Bills linebackers opens the door for a wild prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like a pointless thing to say. He was in college. Had 87 combined versus SF, below average OL, I'm sticking to below 100, we'll make them one dimensional It was his first game. We have very slow LBs, maybe the slowest in the NFL. If Carolina is smart, they will attack them with CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 These "bold predictions" are one of the most useless things to come out of the media's need to generate fast content and fill time. It's like "The record for receptions in a single game is 20. I'm saying the record gets broken today. Not by Antonio Brown, but by Sammie Coates! And he's going to have 30!" And everyone at the desk goes "wow that's bold!" This article is the same thing without the other guys being able to congratulate them on their boldness or chastise them for not being very bold. It means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 They would be wise to use him vs our LB's who are still unproven. I could see him having a big day catching the ball, not running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 So you'd be cool with Carolina fans predicting McCoy to get injured? Just seems like a pointless thing to say. It was his first game. We have very slow LBs, maybe the slowest in the NFL. If Carolina is smart, they will attack them with CM. Now we have the slowest lbs in the league! There's zero proof of this anywhere. Preston has been praised all summer and should look more like 14 than under Rex. Humber is an unknown that made a great first impression, our S will see alot of time in the box as well.. I like the Jenkins addition as a versatile LB and Lorax is a heady vet , the crappy lb narrative got made up somewhere and ppl just ran with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have checked LT for a concussion before making that idiotic prediction. I thought he looked pretty good for a rookie. On the small side, but a solid runner with good instincts. He got his snap count reduced after he fumbled, and they were clearly trying to get Stewart going last week. I could see him having a big game out of the backfield against our LBs.

JerseyBills Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Last year definitely, this year hopefully not. Love McCaffrey though!If he improves he could get to Shady's level but I mean that's such a tough task. To be a smaller shifty back that gets about 20 touches a game, staying healthy isn't easy. McCoy is a rare talent in so many ways I thought he looked pretty good for a rookie. On the small side, but a solid runner with good instincts. He got his snap count reduced after he fumbled, and they were clearly trying to get Stewart going last week. I could see him having a big game out of the backfield against our LBs. Again with the LB. What evidence do you have that indicates our lb will struggle versus backs like McCaffrey? I think the opposite happens and he gets a nice rookie introduction against a much more physical D than SF. Expect another fumble, best believe that will be in the back of his head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
