Mister Defense Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Strange post.. How is this about ego in any negative sense of the word? Seems the OP is confused about the concept of a big ego (as implied negatively by the OP) and about the type of player McCoy is. He loves playing, was devastated when he thought he would may not play anymore this past week after he was injured. The Bills are his team now. He wants this as much as anyone. Ego is a good thing, it is what propels us, but this is not a 'big ego' thing for McCoy, but about wanting to be part of this, of his team, as they head to the playoffs for a huge game. If they gave him a lobotomy then he may not care. Yup, he knows he is a vital component of this team and their success. Knowing that does not make him egotistical, as it is factual. (To not understand that would make him ignorant.) Ridiculous take, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odell Beckham Jr injured his ankle in the pre season against the Browns. Was off a few weeks, came back for a few weeks and then was lost for the season as he broke the same ankle he injured a few weeks earlier. Coincidence? Who knows. Shady injured his ankle Sunday in Miami. So far he has not practiced. Will he play Sunday in Jacksonville? Nobody knows, but if they do know, no one is saying. Obviously Shady wants to play, and the Bills will probably be better if he does. This a decision the coaching staff, the trainers, and medical people should make, and it is a decision they have to say yes to, only if he is 100%. This is not a decision that Shady should make. Against Miami Sunday, a healthy McCoy in 11 carries gained 10 yards. That's right 10 yards. It really wasn't on him though, but on a O Line so bad that it would have been hard for anyone to do good. A O Line that needs to be fixed in the off season, no matter what any statistics show. How bad are they, and disagree if you want, but do you know who has the most negative yards from scrimmage in the NFL this year. If you said Shady you win. He has had some good games this year against poor DL But other teams have stacked the box and want the passing game to beat them. Anyway if he is 100%, let him play, if not he needs to sit. Win this week and the Pats are waiting in Foxboro. He needs to be healthy next week. Umm no. He needs to play. Foxboro be damned not getting there without beating Jax. That isn’t happening without Shady to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 On NFL Network just now: Kimberly Jones " if you've known McCoy for two minutes you'd know he'll do Everything he can to be on the field" That doesn't sound like Ego to me. It sounds like a Class Pro RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of the Buffalo Bills offensive production has been tied to Shady this year? now tell me how this team wins against a top end defense without that production dont even get me started on the best defense in the NFL limiting drives against one of the worst 3 and out offenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether a player plays or not, is always up to the medical staff and coaches as well as the player. Sometimes more the medical staff and coaches - Sanjay Lal and Watkins for example Any professional athlete worthy of the name, will want to play if he possibly can, especially in the playoffs.

Chandemonium Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 hour ago, White Linen said: It's hard to know if he can be effective - to say probably not is a bit early for me. Heck, I'm almost to the point of rationalizing him being more effective than he was against Miami depending on how hobbled he is. If his straightaway speed isn't effected much but his cutting is, I can see him taking the yards that are there as more of a downhill runner. Against the fins it looked like part of the problem was him trying to turn everything into a big play and dancing in the backfield instead of hitting the hole for 4-6 yards. Wishful thinking, I know, but if I can't be wildly optimistic now, when can I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckham had his ankle rolled up by a defender hitting him from behind. It was a freak injury. If Shady is say 75-80% that's still a better option than Tolbert.

Agreed. Not many RBs can run in the snow. Shady can. Maybe Shady is healthy Sunday. I doubt it. But, some cortisone, tape and dirt...maybe Shady can run on 1 ankle? Gi Bills!!
