The few times he ran on 1st down he was equally ineffective. Expand Agreed. Draw plays in long down and distance situations will make most RBs look impressive...

Expand well, this will be on the coaches to figure out a way to git r done. if they send the house, then you need to find the open man. if they sit back, you need to take what they give. if you are completely inept, then you will be looking for employment elsewhere.

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. Expand Not sure they will be able to stack the box with Allen. One thing we know is he will push it down the field.
frostbitmic Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 McCoy was blinded by the red capes being waved by the matador's on the o-line. 3

But the running back group is solid. 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.

Bring it Posted September 10, 2018 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.
CuddyDark Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I thought Murphy got most of his carries after the blowout. Was it against their second string?

He’s close but not one of the all time greats! Shady goes down much easier than Sanders when you do catch him.

QBorBust2018 Posted September 10, 2018 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
