NE isnt like that and neither is this version of the Bill's. He struggled last year and if cut means he is still struggling with a non run first offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 41 minutes ago, Cripple Creek said: Ivory is long in the tooth. Pick up Gilly and get rid of DiMarco. Shady, Ivory, Gilly, Murphy. Ivory and Shady are both 30. Shady has almost twice as many carries as Ivory over their careers, so... Honestly, Gillislee did so well when he was here because of Roman's run game. Scheme matters for some players. Gillislee went to NE and couldn't pick up their offense quickly enough and slid right down the depth chart. Daboll doesn't use the exact same scheme as NE, obviously, but he uses the same philosophy in that he's going to change up their style week to week based on opponents, just like NE does. If Gillislee had trouble picking up on that in NE, I'm not so sure he'd fare any better here. I think Murphy can carve out a nice role for himself on this team. The coaches like Cadet a lot because of his pass catching ability but Cadet hasn't done much so far this pre-season to stand out or make anyone say, "I'd take Cadet over Murphy" not right now, anyway. I think at the end of the day the backfield will be McCoy, Ivory, Cadet, Murphy and DiMarco. Maybe Keith Ford to the PS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am not sold on Ivory but unless there was an injury at RB I think the team is comfortable with Ivory and Murphy behind Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that with Dabol calling plays we can be a real difference maker for us. Your thoughts? I would have previously said absolutely, but honestly with the emergence of Murphy I dont think we need him. I think we are covered with Ivory and Murphy at this point and while MG has been here before, he won't know the offense or the personnel, so its like bringing any guy off the street at this point. So I wouldn't hate it, but I would say nah at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 TD Mike was a good player while he was here & i think some one will be able to pick him up & utilize him but i don't see the Bills FO taking a step backwards in any way ! The new guys that they have in camp are performing well & 1 should make the final 53, now if it comes down to a injury to one of the top players then i wouldn't rule it out but as it stands i don't see it happening !!

I thought the same thing. He was never able to step his game up when he wasn’t inserted as the main ball carrier. I recall both jets games at the end of the ‘15 & ‘16 season where he couldn’t do much anything against the jets along with being unable to do anything against the phins in Miami in 2016 when shady went down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
