racketmaster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bills need to move on from McCoy. They need to add at least 2 backs and 1 needs to be an explosive pass catcher. Look what McKenzie and Foster have done for the wr corps and offense. They gain separation and can make explosive plays and we are talking about an undrafted guy and a player signed off a practice squad. Bills need to make upgrading the rb position a priority. McCoy being on this team next year will impede the progress we can make as an offense. Because of his stature he would require a certain amount of touches whether he deserves it or not. This is an easy decision and a position that can be easily upgraded without having to spend too much draft capital and free agent dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into this year with that o line, no wrs, a rookie QB, this is pretty much what I expected. Paying McCoy 9 mil, highest of any rb in the league, was completely pointless this year but they probably couldn t have traded that contract if they had wanted to.

MrEpsYtown Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think the run game needs to be revamped more than anything. I thought that we were supposed to return to a more power game under Daboll, none of that has happened. There has been no pulling and power plays. Just a lot of inside and outside zone.

JinxedBill1 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I think Marcus Murphy needs more touches. He hits the hole quicker and has speed to get positive yards most every time he touches the ball. Ivory is a great number 2. Id give Murphy the chance the next 3 games to prove what he can do. We're doing that at all the other positions already Im in the minority who thinks McCoy isn't done he is just running hesitantly. Too much dancing and ducking away from contact. I think once the offensive line gets better, he will as well. Edited December 10, 2018 by JinxedBill1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bryce Love, Bennie Snell Jr. or Lamical Perine would be the backs I'd target in the draft. Maybe even take a flyer on Jordan Scarlett if he slips. Need a 1, 2 punch. McCoy will have to find somewhere else to get his 12k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I hope we move away from having a feature back and simply go RB by committee. I'd rather have the 55th and 56th rated RB signed to 4.5m each than to have a top 10 RB for 10m. Cost less money, more production and if one of your backs go down you just increase the work load on the other one. More carries to play with too. As much as I like LeVeon Bell I'd rather pair TJ Yeldon up with Tevin Coleman for way more production and less money. Grab two #2RBs and just rotate them.

Nihilarian Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Man, I'm so glad the fans have no say in the roster moves. LeSean McCoy is an elite RB that opponents hate to play against. Voted by his own peers as a top 30 player. The guy was injured yesterday. No back is going to run well behind that craptastic line, at least the way they were playing Sunday. Todd Gurley would have a tough time getting yards behind that line. Give a healthy Shady a solid line with decent blocking and its off to the races almost every play. Besides that he is still a big threat as a receiver even though Daboll doesn't utilize him like Dennison did in 2017 when he led the team in receptions.

brianb386 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Since McCoy has been on the team he has basically been our entire offense, until now. I agree the time is right to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 McCoy is a back who's game is predicated on quick cuts, agility. The head is willing but the body is no longer able. He is no longer a plus back, but it has nothing to do with effort or lack thereof. I think it's over for Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 2 hours ago, PIP said: Thurman Thomas was the man this guy is a chump. Not even in top 10 of Bills backs Thurman had a line that blocked well and a QB that had receivers to throw to. McCoy has neither. This year especially. Losing Wood and Crazy-Incognito made a huge impact to the run lanes. While I haven't been a huge McCoy fan, he has proven to be a good back and has made some great plays in a Bills uniform. His age is now starting to show and it's amplified when there's crap OL ahead of him. Cut him some slack there, slick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think Shady has been a good running back for the Bills. However, this year he has reminded me of Franco Harris' last years in Seattle running out of bounds to save his body. But with the run blocking by this OL it is hard to fault him 100%. And despite The Process someone else will step up and provide some off season drama once he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalftimeAdjustment Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 His terrible year is probably more on the OL and coaching than his age, but his age isn't going to improve. Hopefully the other 2 will. I would not put any star back behind this OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3 games back and JA already leads the team in rushing? Yeah, I’d say the previous recent abundance of threads questioning whether or not Shady has hit the RB wall or is well on the way to it, unfortunately will probably age well. A finger can definitely be pointed at the Oline along the way, but the eye test has been pretty consistent on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
