PromoTheRobot Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Peterson in particular, or that they're looking for another back? Because while I'd agree on AD I also think they'd be wise to have a better change of pace guy than Tolbert right now. I meant about AP. But as much as we need to upgrade that position, there are more pressing imidiate needs like WR and O-line, maybe LB too. I can't see trading for an aging faded superstar.

Big C Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 if they liked him I think they would have at least kept him on our PS. When asked why they didn't sign him to the PS after he cleared waivers, McD said they "went a different direction." I don't think the Bills are interested in him. I don't understand why when he clearly did well with his carries in preseason. I'm not saying he is amazing but he is someone we could theoretically call on for help.

BigBuff423 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If we dont find a way to bring in at least 1, possibly 2 starting caliber WRs during this bye week...Im going to start to get aggravated with this GM. I dont like a lot of the roster moves made in the offseason and early part of the season, not addressing the WR position with viable professionals is going to be inexcusable. I dont want to hear about next years draft. We have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. We can afford to give up a 3rd for a guy that can help us end the playoff drought. At some point you need to stop worrying about fairy tale futures and start taking advantage of the obtainable present Everyone entitled to their perspective - but Bills are keeping their eye on the future. If report is accurate, Peterson is the perfect example of them giving up just a little to get through this year while not leveraging their greatest commodity: future assets to establish their type of player personnel. agreed, this is a run first team and the depth is cringe-worthy Furthermore, its amazing what a good running game will do for the passing game. And the available players maybe more of the running game variety - meaning, cost effective while still helping the Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It would be nice if the Tolbert as the primary back up to McCoy experiment were over. I just think Tolbert has a definite role and it's not backup. He's your short yardage/pass catching half/fullback, not a per se backup to McCoy. Put it this way: I don't think backup RB is a particularly important position (I can't name Bell or Gurley's backup), but Tolbert's skillset seems particularly ill-suited to the job.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I just think Tolbert has a definite role and it's not backup.

During the course a game Shady often raises his hand for his backup to come in and I also see Tolbert coming in quite a bit on 3rd downs. He has an important role in the offense, but IMO he's not up to the task. Edited October 11, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Shady 3.2 Tolbert 3.6 The number of guys at the line of scrimmage SHIRLEY isn't helping but the running game is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Most times I see Tolbert get the ball he's making positive yardage.i agree. It certainly doesnt seem like hes having any issues. I actually think hes been pretty good. What we need are WRs or a guy that will throw it to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 McCoy rolls an ankle in the first quarter you are good with just tolbert? Depends. I'd have T Jones in there some. But I'd throw an extra lineman and TE in and jam the ball down the other team's throats with Tolbert. Real old time football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd see even more of a struggle on offense with him as the featured back being spelled by Jones and Banyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Why don't they just sign J Will off the Broncos practice squad? I don't think they would stop us. Because there was obviously a reason besides ability that he was cut. Not sure what it is but there had to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
