LABILLBACKER Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ivory and Cadet do nothing for me. Murphy's style of running is perfectly suited to backup or even platoon with McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 15 minutes ago, Jay_Fixit said: 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. For sure. Ivory has a role to fill. If Cadet and Jones are cut both or at least Jones should clear waivers and go home to sit. One will be available if the Bills need a RB during the season. Ford may be a PS guy. If DiMarco can up his game some the RBs should be more than fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 RB Marcus Murphy has 'done everything right' With the preseason halfway over, Murphy has turned defenders and heads. With LeSean McCoy nursing a day-to-day groin injury and probably not needing any preseason reps anyway at the age of 30, Murphy has been Buffalo’s most productive running back, by far. Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has taken note. “(Murphy) has done everything right,” Daboll saidl “This guy is a young player, but he practices the right way, he prepares the right way, obviously he has had a good training camp. The success that he’s had in these first couple games is a product of the kind of kid he is, how hard he works, the preparation, he’s serious. How he finishes in practice, there’s numerous clips out there. He just does the right thing and he’s very dependable and hopefully he just continues to get better.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Cover 1: Bills' RB Marcus Murphy’s Vision and Ability to Set Up Blocks Buffalo Bills running back Marcus Murphy is not a household name. The former Missouri Tiger has been buried down the Bills’ depth chart the last few months, but since the pads have gone on, his skills have carried him right back up it. Murphy has made the most of his opportunities. His willingness to do whatever it takes for the team has caught the eyes of not just fans, but also of his head coach.

Chandler#81 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes, he needs to work hard on his pass blocking. Other than that, I see no negatives. With Shady likely sidelined the rest of preseason and Josh under Center, he can make a great case for #2 and a few years as an important cog here.

wppete Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Excited to see Murphy play today. Has to work on picking up blockers when he stays in on the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 As well he should. He's probably been one of the brightest spots of this preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 He has been a definite bright spot this year i guess if we can find one a year we are about 18 yrs from being a winner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Love me some Marcus Murphy, he might actually be my favorite offensive player. Just hope his 196lb frame can hold up running the way he has. He has to get touches. He’s good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Somehow Buffalo always has great running backs. It doesn't matter who the coach or the GM is. It's been that way for over 20 years and what feels like 10 different regimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Murphy should be stealing carries from McCoy day #1. Behind this line and with a 30 year old McCoy, it's going to be critical to keep RBs fresh, and Murphy might even have more straightline speed right now.
