Freddie's Dead Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 #3 RB bull ****. "Charlie" Murphy is my #2 running back. Ivory looks slow, unexplosive. Every time Murphy touches the ball, he's electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 15 hours ago, Kelly the Dog said: Murphy tonight not only made the team but he could be the one player that COMPLETELY changes the entire roster. If Murphy can be the #3 RB which seems obvious, and the #1 PR which seems very reasonable AND the KR, then we may be able to keep an extra WR and an extra S or LB or DL or QB. That's a huge advantage. Two games in a row is not a fluke, especially watching the actual plays. That's a valauable guy. He also played well last season in real games, people here seem to forget that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I think we learned our lesson from last year having zero speed and agility behind shady on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Murf needs his spot. Cut Jones, whoever you have to. Keep Murf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a lock IMO. He can do more than the other backs. He’s just better then them (outside of Shady of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 From Cover 1's Studs and Duds: STUDS – RB Marcus Murphy For the second consecutive week, Murphy impressed, showing his decisive running style (39 yards on four carries), also adding a nice 39-yard punt return on special teams. He’s doing everything he can to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, and it’ll be tough for Sean McDermott to not grant his wish. The guy is always ready to contribute when his number is called.

You figure they keep at least 3 HB's and I can't see anyone worth keeping over Shady and Murphy. The toughest decision is Ivory or Cadet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadet is not that guy and can be replaced by a street FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 From the 8-21 Bills Today Writeup: 3 – This Bills RB is getting national recognition Throughout training camp and the preseason, there are many new names and faces that NFL do not recognize. This could be due to the expanded preseason rosters, or just due to the fact that some players take a longer path to success in the NFL. However, Bills running back Marcus Murphy is quickly garnering some national attention for his preseason performances. Bleacher Report recently put together a list of players who have performed well throughout the preseason that NFL fans may not have heard of to this point, and Murphy made the cut. Here is what they had to say about the former seventh-round pick. A 2015 seventh-round pick who returned punts for the Saints as a rookie, bounced around some practice squads and resurfaced to get some carries for the Bills late last year. Murphy ran for a touchdown in the preseason opener and couldn't quite reach the pylon for a second touchdown last week. Murphy has both versatility and the Bills' preference for gutsy try-hards on his side. Murphy has shown his versatility off to the Bills coaching staff, returning both kicks and punts as he has surged up the running back depth chart. Most thought that Murphy would be behind Chris Ivory and even Travaris Cadet on the depth chart, but the 26-year-old has taken the majority of his recent reps with as the team’s number two running back. He is known mostly for his ability on special teams, but that could change in 2018 with the Bills. With just eight carries for 41 yards in three NFL seasons, Murphy is poised for a breakout year at the running back position in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasNootz Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Murphy has looked good enough, that I'd be comfortable shopping Ivory to a team like San Francisco or Washington that are looking injury bitten/thin at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in today’s NFL, you need 3 maybe 4 good backs. No sense in trading away a guy like Ivory who offers a change of pace and tough yardage carries.
