wppete Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Interesting article where McCoy has thought about playing WR. I would love to see that. Give Allen a theat. Start Ivory at RB, he looks good. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/10/03/lesean-mccoy-wide-receiver-running-back-buffalo-bills-offense/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I've been saying this for awhile. We need to use Shady like the Chiefs use Tyreek Hill. Spread him out as a flanker, wr, and rb in motion. I thought DaBolt-Head was creative. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 With our crappy O-line, this might be the only way Shady sees green grass. But if he's going to be playing a lot at WR, he's got to learn all the adjustments that WRs are expected to make depending on the defensive alignment. Shady is a smart guy but that's a whole lot of new stuff to learn while still keeping up with the game plan for the RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBillsWestCoast Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I think it would be fun to watch and should improve Josh Allen's progress. McCoy could play 2nd WR and the slot. If NE can use little quick guys, imagine McCoy and that agility. It would open up the TE and cause extra game planning. Imagine a WR screen??? Bubble screen??? With the money he is making we need to use him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The problem is Daboll is not clever or creative enough to do this. Even if it was 4-5 times a game in the slot. Allen is just going to have to trod along with the worst wr's in Bills history. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I mentioned that I want to see him out there with Ivory in a 2 back set. Whatever it takes...the RBs are better that the WRs, so get them on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilarian Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Couldn't hurt as shady is the best player on offense and he should be seeing at least 25 touches a game. Last week he averaged 4.8 yards per carry, and they gave him only 5 carries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1972 the NFL leader had 62 catches. 38 guys had that last year. It was 52 guys in 2016. The game is not the same. Shady needs 20-25 touches a game. Do what you need to so that happens.

Ray Finkel Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Chan Gainey used to spread 4 receivers wide to take pressure off the O line. Spiller had a good year running. Also, put Shady wide to look for a mismatch against LB. I know our receivers are terrible but this can take some of the pressure off Josh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarg12 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t give Shady more than 5 touches a game. I understand playing from behind and trying to pass the ball more, but if it means extending the drive more, why not run the ball? Take the pressure off Allen and let McCoy (the best player on offense) try and work some magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is suggesting that he change positions entirely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
