Shady McCoy: "I Have More to Prove"

[26CornerBlitz]

McCoy Entering 10th Season with 'More to Prove'

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is the 30th player in NFL history to hit the 10,000-yard mark. Though entering his 10th season, McCoy doesn't plan on slowing down.

 

"I have more to prove," McCoy said, via PennLive.com. "It's just like, 'How long can he keep doing it? How long can he keep being productive?' And that drives me. It really does."

 

McCoy, who is listed at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds, has stated in the past that his goal is to achieve 12,000 yards rushing on his career. And part of his plan includes adjusting his diet as he continues his career.

 

"We have a great thing going on there," McCoy told PennLive.com. "I'm trusting the process with [head coach] Sean McDermott and [general manager] Brandon Beane. We got a nice team, so I'm happy to be a part of that and I think it's a big future for us."

[Happy]

I hope Shady can last long enough for this team to get to the SB.  He certainly deserves it.

What he's gotta prove is that his huge ypc decline in 2017 was entirely the fault of Rick Dennison/Sean McDermott coaching and in-game decisions and not just the cliff drop that happens to pretty much every high carry running back at 29-30 years old.

 

The whole "he's different than other RB's" narrative is the same thing that is uttered with regard to all good RB's.   And then those dudes fall off the cliff anyway.   

 

His 29 year old 2017 season looked a lot like Ladainian Tomlinson's 29 year old season.   LT dropped from 4.5 ypc at 28 to 3.8 ypc in his year 29 season.... but he put up 1100 yards and 11 TD's so it was still productive enough to not seem like the end of his stardom.    But he was never a star again after that season.

 

Personally I am concerned that McD and Beane might have burned up McCoy last season.    He was being carefully managed his first couple seasons in Buffalo.  But he got about 75-100 carries too many last year IMO.    Poor work by McD and Beane stocking the RB corps.

He still has plenty of burst and wiggle left...

 

He is going for atleast 1100-1200 id bank on it... most running backs put on weight as they age, he is working out and losing weight 

 

he is very dedicated 

[BruceVilanch]

I really hope he is the exception to the rule, love the guy and love his attitude and I really hope he doesn't have the precipitous drop like most RB's do. I would love if he could be serviceable this year and we could get a stud in the mid rounds next year.

[Doc Brown]

I'm pleasantly surprised he hasn't complained about being on a rebuilding team at this point in his career.

Happy 4th, dude.  Go Bills.

 

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

....ideally and hopefully to prolong his career, get him into a more versatile "Thurmal type" role with 50 catches out of the backfield......then find the next "Kenneth Davis" among the youngsters on the roster to be the perfect relief compliment.....throw in Ivory as the lead blocker as well as your powerful north/south punishing RB.......

Shady is a no go in fantasy.

Shady won’t reach 200 carries this season, if he does he will be under 4 YPC. The Bills could have traded a guy like Shaq for a 4th rounder and got a fresh set of legs at RB. 

 

Teams did go early on a lot of backs this draft so that may have ruined any plans the Bills did have.

Best case scenario; we win the SB in the next 3 years and Shady rides off into the sunset.??

It's a concern.  As far as LT, he did have a bit of a resurgence with the Jets - back up to 4.2 YPA and 914 yds - the main thing is he was no longer able to take the number of carries he had in his prime, and even with fewer he missed a game and was limited in a couple, due to injuries.  Didn't that Bolts have like, no OL his last year with them?

Anyway an argument could be made that LT had a couple good years in him after his 29 yr old season, but he needed to be managed in a way it's not clear McDermott will.

 

The real question with Shady IMO is the OL.  He has never been a back who could pound out his carries however.  He has always needed a good OL to do what he does.

......exactly why we need a "Thurmal-Kenneth Davis type duo" with Ivory as your lead blocker/punisher.....expect Shady to take a pounding and you'll use him up early........

[machine gun kelly]

Old Timer, I agree as I’d love to see Ivory take a little pressure off Shady, but he’s won me over and want to see him keep climbing the ranks.  The more playoff appearances and hopefully wins, we’ll see if he get the notoriety he deserves.  The way he is playing he is already a HOF in my book.  If he gains a couple to few more thousand yards could mean first ballot.

 

id actually fly up for that induction ceremony with the boys.  I want and want my boys to see Canton.

McCoy is going to have a tough year and it’s not going to be his fault.  I think he is great but I would honestly think about moving him before his value falls off a cliff.

Yes Campbell did.  And I caught a segment on NFLN with Willie McGinest and he was talking about the 4 RB's he's seen who could avoid taking the big hit and thus a major injury and they were Barry Sanders, LT, Shady and I think the fourth was Marshall Faulk.

True but it would be something.  I won’t mind a 4th and I don’t know if you get that with an in season trade.

 

I’ve grown to love McCoy.  He is a different guy than in Philly.  I just feel like with our offense, he is going to struggle.  IMO, he was a guy I’d trade over a 24 year old wr last year.   Rbs, even as good as McCoy is, are just easier to replace.

I respectfully disagree.  Bills aren't going to be playoff ready this year.  Letting McCoy get another year older and be part of a losing Bills team, instead of grabbing a couple draft picks for him, is something I'm against.

I wouldn't trade him for a 4th.  And I doubt they'd even be offered that. 

 

I don't think he's any different than in Philly.  Maybe he's more accepting of a smaller market because he's seen one up-close, but he was always a great player and teammate there. 

 

As for Sammy, to keep him would have meant paying him $14M this season.  Given you think that Shady will struggle because of the QB/OL situations, the same would hold true for Sammy.  And Sammy will be hard-pressed to live up to the contract he signed with the Chefs and I'll bet that Shady finishes with more total yards than he does.

....kind of think I'd throw Thurmal in there to round out the top 5....that "bad knee guy" we stole in the 2nd proved pretty durable and elusive as well....

Keep in mind with TT under center opposing defenses stacked the box hard, limiting McCoy's opportunities.  This season with a QB willing to throw deep, Shady should have a little manuevering room.

As I reading his long post I was wondering.... isn’t there a dude that routinely has crap takes on shady and is it this dude? 

 

Must be it is. 

 

 

My takes on McCoy have been pretty dead-nuts-on actually.

 

A lot was made of me saying he'd be done at 30 when they acquired him(Shady in radio)..........but that was hardly a reach with the direction his career was going when they acquired him. 

 

My issue was his piss poor attitude in blaming his dropoff in 2014 on Chip Kelly(training, racism etc..) instead of facing the fact that he was dancing too much and trying to take every run to the sideline in a league with increasingly faster LB's.......a critically bad habit that McCoy was in denial about......and one he brought to Buffalo in 2015.    As Bills fans apologists are so fond of saying Kelly "had no choice" but to move on.   McCoy had the fewest yards per touch in the NFL in 2014 and he was in complete denial.

 

Along with that general lack of accountability.......... the accompanying high mileage began to show itself in his last year in Philly with a nagging toe injury that carried over to Bills camp which eventually lead to a hip issue and then a hamstring issue which he's struggled with the entire time he has been in Buffalo.   I can't say for sure what the Bills thought they were getting but his days as a high production 300 carry back were over.

 

He predictably fell miles short of expectation in his first season in Buffalo..........the same people whining about my McCoy takes were predicting he'd put up 2,000 total yards and he didn't even reach 900 RUSHING yards.  

 

But the day after he tore his MCL in that terrible performance in Washington(where the other RB's excelled).........probably the lowest point of his career after Kelly humiliated him the week before by game planning to take advantage of his bad habit of bouncing every run outside....... I said right here on TSW that he could be a 5.5 ypc high TD RB in 2016 if he grew up, got focused on being a Bill and started following the design of the Greg Roman run game the way Gillislee and Karlos had.  

 

And he did just that and nailed my prediction within one tenth of a yard.

 

He was just a punk when he got to Buffalo and by no means worthy of the 2018 and 2019 extension years the Bills gave him.   But he grew up.....better late than never.......as selfish players often do when they taste real humility(take note Sammy haters).   

 

The Bills were doing well using him for around 200 carries and should have been scaling that back each season......I figured 175-200 should be his range last year....... to get maximum per touch production.   Instead they beat the **** out of him with 275 carries.   Like it or not those carry totals are proven to matter.

 

 If you just need 3.9 ypc then you don't need McCoy for that.   You are better off with a 230# RB beating up the defense if you are game planning to run for sub-league average(4.2ypc is average).    They need the McCoy who can give you closer to 5 ypc and be fresh late in the season.    He has finished each of his 3 regular seasons in Buffalo being carted off.   Literally carted off the field.     After the wear and tear of last year I am not sure he has that in him but I sure hope so.

McCoy won me over in the winter of 2016 when he admitted he needed to grow up and start following the design of the Roman offense because he left a ton of plays on the field in 2015......and then actually did what he said he was going to do.

 

Been a huge fan since.   Great teammate.....lives in the inside of the field he once shied from....... and has done a good job biting his once forked tongue and being a good soldier.

 

But if he falls into oblivion in his age 30 season........thereby not justifying the new contract the Bills gave him at acquisition(his original Eagles deal would not even have expired until this past March).........then file my being "right" under water(or beer) being wet.    It was hardly a reach.

...he will if the OBD expectation is a steady diet of 287 carries ala 2017.......if so, then the mantra is to "churn 'em and burn 'em" after 2018.....doubt he'd be trade bait if so....but I think with $85+ mil in FA dollars to spend in 2018, McBeane could roll some of those dollars over into 2019, designate him a June 1 cut and spread the $9 mil cap hit over two years....

That story about Earl is just a bummer. Such a great player !
 

I suspect Ivory will get more and better reps than Tolbert did. And in a healthy cadet and a meager enough passing and Shadys reps should drop but improve.

Hated to see him getting buried last year with runs that just were not going to open up.

 Good point about last years circumstances for  running the ball.

Playcalling for Shady will likely decide his longer term health and fate. Dude can break one open anytime with a bit of help.
 

But to Biscuits point, I do agree at this point L McCoy might have tough time if the blocking and passing game do not step up in general  over last season

No please don't even do the math.

 Much like Badoll learned to dig this guy. Bills need to be much smarter how they used him last year. keep in mind how he performed the passing game  last year?

...Earl was such a punishing RB....he had those massive "Robert Newhouse thighs (from the Cowgirls)"......just my dumbass speculation, but Tolbert was signed more for his vet locker room presence versus RB prowess.......Ivory was signed (IMO) for his lead blocking and punishing north-south style (has something left in the tank)...transition Shady's role into a more "Thurmal type" with less carries and 50+ touches out of the backfield and hope that Cadet, Murphy or Taiwan Jones can be the next "Kenneth Davis" as in "Thurmal relief"....

Edited July 4, 2018 by OldTimeAFLGuy

[3rdand12]

Spot on about how they should use Ivory.

 Shady is at his best with tired LBs on the field. He just need to juke one to get the first down.
Cadet is nice option to drop in. Hope he can remain healthy. Thats was tough injury last year.

 

 I expected Bills to grind Tolbert and just use him up between tackles. wear em down kinda option.
Guess that box being stacked each week was the end of that idea
