John from Riverside Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I was concerned that Murphy looked better running the ball then McCoy did behind the same line...... McCoy is supposed to be the main offensive play maker. Very hard running for him today.....actually thought Murphy was more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 He needs carries. When you go 3 and out 6 times in a row it's tough to get a rhythm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Murphy was mainly rushing on draw plays on 2nd and 3rd and 10+. That is why he got a lot of yards. The few times he ran on 1st down he was equally ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacchus44 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'm afraid that it's yet another year of opposition stacking the box to stuff the run due to no talented receivers or a good offensive line. I'm with others that say we should trade Shady while he still has his health. He's really not going to do us a lot of good this year, unfortunately.

Rocbillsfan1 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 they need to trade him for a draft pick if possible. Not sure what they could get. Hopefully a playoff team loses a RB. Maybe Pitt if Bell doesn't show. Goes back to Pennslyvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy is a one cut runner, shady likes to jump around before making a move, so he had less room to make all his moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy got a bunch of carries in obvious passing downs or late in the half when the D is giving up yards on the ground to get off the field.

With that OL they can't just "pound the ball", but they could mix things up. Use Murphy or Ivory at the same time as McCoy, use Shady more in sweeps, short passes in the flat, as a WR facing a LB. He needs space! And in the 1st half use Ivory to soften up that defense so Shady has more running room and a fresh body for the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If I’m a Ravens defensive player and I know that the Bills don’t have a proven passer at the Qb position, I’m keying on Shady all day long!! Murphy hasn’t proven anything yet in this league. I think that accounts for the reason Shady had no were to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBorBust2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 McCoy is getting old for a RB, only a bills homer would be delusional to envision McCoy in the bills’ plans going forward. The guy is OLD. See ya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
