Chuck Wagon Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 He's a guy I would be very interested in, but I'm not sure he'd be thrilled with being Shady's backup again. He's also a guy I think will surprise people how much he gets on the market, teams were trying hard to trade for him early last year and he's got some real believers around the league.

I’m not expecting him to sign with the Bills. I think he wants a bigger role. I’m just glad we won’t be playing him twice/year. He always seemed to kill us. Just stay away from the Jets and Fish.

Doc Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'd rather have him over Ivory as well. But I agree that he probably wants to be a feature RB and get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wouldn't we all but Dion is probably more money and would count towards comp picks. Ivory does not.

Royale with Cheese Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just now, PetermanThrew5Picks said: respectfully disagree. I look at it is he's more versatile that Ivory. Ivory is more of a pound the ball inside the tackles while Ivory can go inside, outside and is a pretty good threat in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss having a running back punish these pansy a** secondaries these days I would not be unhappy with Ivory. If I had to pick between the two, I would go Lewis. Those little shifty backs are just so hard to contain. But yes, having him punish those in the 2nd and 3rd level is valuable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be a starter at this point but he’s a great 1-2 lunch with Shady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivory has to be pretty darn cheap, we could get both could we not? I don't like talking cap talk, but if we're not pursuing much else in FA, I want skill players on offense, especially where they can spell our superstar. That or save money for a big time WR. (see Alshon Jeffrey last year) I think he made more of an impact there than we give credit for. Any FA WR studs out in the market? Martavis would be good for Tyrod (or anyone, he's versatile). That corps needs a major overhaul, and I find KB's skill set limited. If his problem is getting separation and excels at contested catches, he just sounds like a nerfed Jeffrey IMO.

He'll be more expensive, and will count against the comp pick formula. It also depends whos the QB, and how you plan to use the guy. I think he's looking to start, not be a backup/spell back.

Bing Bong Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) And draft the trenches. Our time will come for a QB boys, but don't tell me our offense won't look better with better skill position players, a better line, surrounding the QB (see Vikings). Add that to our playoff defense and we look more and more like the Jags model without a mediocre QB eating cap. 1 minute ago, dneveu said: He'll be more expensive, and will count against the comp pick formula.

Rc2catch Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would be happier with Ivory over Lewis. Dion is the same kinda back we have with shady. I would prefer a bigger back who can run hard. I’d like to see Ivory and Jeremy Hill both signed to backup shady. Not sure we’ll have a top notch passing game so I’d definitely like to see some bruising backs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Just now, JR in Pittsburgh said: Lewis would be useless here. He is 100% a product of the pats’ system. Similar to guys like Kevin Faulk and James white. I have little faith that we could use him in such an effective manner. And we would probably use him in a way where he would get injured. by the way, I saw both Lewis and McCoy play a lot at pitt and always thought lewis was the better back in college, but don’t think his body can hold up as a regular NFL back.

He had over 1000 total yards. When it comes to backup RBs, I'd honestly rather have the comp pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Unlike quarterbacks... solid running backs require a small investment in order to stumble into a few great years. I would prefer to gamble on a mid round rb vs spend more money at a position that is naturally prone to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
