YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Ok, I've seen enough of Travaris Cadet. Move him to RB2. Tolbert to the bench or whatever. Also, bright spot... run blocking was decent overall. But we were not in position to stick to the run game today. I’m not optimistic about going into arrowhead but their run D hasn’t been good and maybe just maybe you can run on them if you don’t give up 35 lovely points in the first half.

Nick the Greek Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Tolbert to bench? I'd prefer Tolbert to waivers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Yea he looked good in his couple carries and that reception where he trucked a defender. I'd much rather see him than Tolbert. Although with the way things are working on Offense maybe Dennison says to McD he prefers Tolbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where im at. He’s a nice 3rd down option and an okay RB. We need to use him more instead of Tolbert. A number 2 RB would be ideal but he’s a decent addition.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 No fan base cares as much about backup rbs as Bills fans do. It's 2017 and most good teams throw the football.

Running as your identity in the 2017 NFL is misguided in the first place. the bigger problem is changing the blocking scheme and offense in the first place. Our oline and blocking schemes made almost every rb we put in there great. But cutting Williams for Tolbert was another stupid move this team made.

The pre planning of this offense was abysmal. These problems were obvious in March and only got worse with each move As always, you make reasonable points. I laughed at the outrage people had about losing MG to the Pats because any rb looked good for us that last 2 years. this regime has completely botched our major strength.

If anyone thinks McDermott won’t put Colbert right back in there, they are kidding themselves. I like Cadet. A lot. He does things even Shady doesn’t, he will just put his shoulders down and take the 2-3 yard gain. He doesn’t dance like Shady. He needs to stay as #2 but this idiot coaching staff will outsmart themselves. Count on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 But Tolbert is the perfect complement to Shady. Shady is fast and Tolbert is slow. Shady makes all kinds of cuts, Tolbert makes none. Shady is a threat to go all the way at any time, Tolbert is a threat to go a quarter of the way, an eighth of the time. Shady makes defenders miss, Tolbert makes defenders hit. Teams have trouble preparing for both kinds of runners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think Cadet showed more burst than Shady. Any time I see him stutter step behind the line I know it's a loss, and it's been happening too often lately. Would not shock me if we say buh-bye to McCoy next year.
