Blokestradamus Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Captain Murica said: 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. As an RB2, he was everything you could want. Defined strengths that mesh with the run game philosophy. He comes with limitations but you don't have to expose him to a ton of variety if he's just a bit-part player. As you said, once they had to open up the variety of his workload, he typically suffered. His 2016 season wasn't just good, it was goddamn historic - https://www.numberfire.com/nfl/news/12615/mike-gillislee-had-the-most-efficient-rushing-season-of-the-century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger sample size? He carried the ball 3 more times in 2017 than 2016.? The Roman/Lynn system + Tyrod = very favorable to running back production.

DasNootz Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I’d take him and send Ivory to SF for a draft pick. Between he and Murphy are adequate backups/change of pace backs to shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion about Mike being capable to hold down an RB1 role elsewhere (or even in Buffalo). Meh.........McCoy's ypc dropped nearly as much last year in a different system. It wasn't really a sample size issue........that implies that MG was winning physical battles in the run game when fresh but couldn't do so with more exposure. He was never overwhelming people at the LOS or breaking ankles. The key with MG was his ability to precisely follow the design of the greatest run game designer of the 21st century. And not every back has the patience or footwork to hit his marks like that. Took McCoy a season to figure that out. 100 carries or 200 carries..........it wasn't about physically dominating defenders........the holes were there for EVERYONE. Daboll would be wise to re-incorporate that aggressive blocking attack.........these OL can't pass block a bit.

The thread is accurately titled and gives the reader important info, letting him/her decide if they’d like to know more. If you had it your way people would have to go to a what if thread on a whim, and somehow make it all the way to the end of the 30 pages of opinions to find out tha Gillislee was cut. Do we have to keep checking the draft day thread to find out if Allen is starting because he was mentioned in that one? New info, deserves new threads.

I notice he does have ALOT of misses but yet is always a genius with every signing. BB seems to me to be an improvement at picking college prospects, where DW was better at picking up FA's. Maybe we can petition OBD to rehire DW in a limited capacity to assist with FA's. Or split the job, and call them WhaleyBeanes..................................Martavious WhaleyBeanes.............

He was signed due to his “efficiency” but I think that was more due to the OL, scheme, Mobile QB in Buffalo, and how he was used here. He isn’t built to be a short yardage back like the way BB wanted to use him. He scored most of his TDs outside the red zone in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
