HOUSE Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Chris Ivory will be first option if LeSean McCoy isn’t available Posted by Mike Florio on July 12, 2018, 5:37 PM E The day began with a post regarding the wisdom of the Bills having a Plan B ready in the event that running back LeSean McCoy can’t play. Intervening developments tend to make the necessity of a fallback option even more advisable. Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News reports that veteran Chris Ivory would be the “first option” if McCoy ends up being unavailable, either because of his placement by the NFL on the Commission https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/07/12/chris-ivory-will-be-first-option-if-lesean-mccoy-isnt-available/ Edited July 13, 2018 by THE SLAMMER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsredneck1 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 i don't think i can sign on to ivory as a starter. all i can see is 3yds. 2yds....pass and punt. i'd rather roll (if we could do no better) with cadet / jones / murphy. of course dimarco makes 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Keith Ford's a slippery downhill runner. Would be cool if he turned out to be a diamond in the rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Oh that will be great... expected to get 30 carries to over 250 if that’s the case. Should work out well. Ivory hasn’t been able to carry the load for 3-4 years now. 6 minutes ago, LeGOATski said: Keith Ford's a slippery downhill runner. Would be cool if he turned out to be a diamond in the rough.

HOUSE Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think the Bills blew it. Should have let Richie Incognito play out his current deal with no pay cut. The Bills have the space With the loss of Eric Woods this will not be the same Offensive line with power to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushypeaches Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There is no way that Chris Ivory will be our starting RB. They'll scan the waiver wire, look for FA's, try out rookies - whatever. But 250 carries for Ivory is just not gonna happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Now way! Ivory as the most accomplished and experienced RB after McCoy as the 1st option? Who would have guessed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 We'll pick someone up if McCoy isnt able to play. Ivory doesn't have the legs or durability to be a 16 game 15 carry back anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That might be the thinking of the Bills right now, with the players they have on their roster, but training camp and preseason could have aprofound effect on any decision the Bills make.

HOUSE Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 The Bills currently have 89 players on their roster, which leaves them with one open spot as they head into training camp. According to a report from Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, they may be looking to fill that spot with a veteran running back. Rodak reports that the team has shown interest in bringing former Chargers running back Branden Oliver in for a workout. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/07/13/report-bills-have-interest-in-working-out-branden-oliver/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize they have 3 legitimate pro prospects on their roster right now? Legitimate top 3-4 round players They haven’t even been a D1 Football school for 30 years yet and they have a top 5 pick and all pro not too mention James Stark a guy who notched out a 6+ year career and Brandon Oliver a vet NFL back plus tons of guys to PSs and training camps, better than a lot of colleges can say. They are gonna win the MAC this year UB is going to be on the up and up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't flatter yourself. You said McCoy's replacement yield be pile of tiny yard carries. I was poi ting out that it's not much different than McCoy..best player or not. He's a boom or bust runner.
