dbflaBill Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Are the Bills one of the slowest teams in the NFL? WR,LB, RB,? No WR to open the top of the defense ( will hinder Benjamin getting open) no LB to go side line to side line or help in coverage. RB Shady is shifty and quick, but straight speed he is not elite. Speed wins at all levels and the Bills are certainly missing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryland-bills-fan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A couple of speedy linebackers to replace our present 3rd string guys is a good idea. But we can get them with our 4th and 5th round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think we address this during the draft. Hopefully Chark at WR, and a younger version of Shady. LB's also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The Bills are very slow as a team. Shady however had one of the fastest times in the league last year though in that next gen speed stats. He’s plenty fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Losing Preston Brown and his 4.86 will go along way to helping team speed. I like our defensive speed. Our offensive speed isn't great, but I'm not sure it is the most important thing in the E-P system. That said I do think we need to have someone like Deonte Thompson on the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This while the Bills as a whole may not possess the speed of teams past Shady is definitely not part of that group.. as far as starting NFL RBs shady is right up there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy, Ivory, Cadet, and Taiwan Jones are all 29 or older when the season begins. That's a lot of mileage on a position where newer is almost always better.

Da webster guy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 That's what killed Tyrod last season. We dumped Goody and Watkins and left one of the best longball throwers in the league with a dink dunk Dennison playbook. Not a huge surprise that we scored 3 points on Jax in the playoffs and the Steelers scored over 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin would have gotten eaten up by Ramsey and Bouye and Watkins probably would have twisted his ankle. We lost that game because Preston Brown sucks, we got no interior pressure, and Tyrod missed a ton of open guys. Luckily, our front office has decided to make changes in all three of those areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of reasons we lost. I wouldn't blame the defense at all, they went on the road in the playoffs and held a team to 10 points. The two key plays in that game were KB pushing off on 1st and goal at the one, and Clay's huge drop. Neither one of them Tyrods fault, although he definitely missed some opportunities on other plays. It's the reason he's in Cleveland now. 3 points is absurd, that Jax defense wasn't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That's a pretty wild guess. I bet if you average the 40 times of all NFL rosters ours would be average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
