Shady throwing shade at Bills O lineman

How many Buffalo Bills offensive linemen are going to the Pro Bowl?

 

Why is it that many mock drafts have us drafting an OL with the 9th pick?

 

Yeah... whatever.

 

There is just a certain standard of professionalism you would hope to expect from a veteran and team leader.  At some point he needed to Pivot from being Shady to LeSean McCoy.  Shame it never happened and probably never will.

Fo reals?! More like making his list to santa public. Cheers

I hope you're wrong, but after watching Ivory and Murphy out produce him all last year I fear he may have hit the wall this season.

 

I think badol generally hit the mark. Shady still is employable but not a guy that makes it happen all by himself now. 

 

And also that it was a douche tweet

Yeah it's entirely unnecessary shade thrown at his blockers.   He's been in excuse mode for the past few weeks as he tries to talk his way into another shot at big carries and that salary next season.

 

We all know they sucked but the Shady of old would have still ran for 4.4 ypc behind that OL...........because when he was in his athletic prime at Philly he didn't know what following a block was........he just ran away from people because he could always break a few ankles and win a footrace to the edge if all else failed.

 

But LB's got 20#'s smaller and younger and faster as he got older.

 

He learned to follow his blocks in 2016 and had a magnificent year where wisdom and still-close-to-top talent met..........but then the OL and scheme stopped creating holes and he couldn't turn back the clock.

 

 

I strongly disagree with this. Watching the games specifically for this, he just didn't get holes. At all. Sure he could have got 1-3 extra yards on a lot of his runs if he just took what he could get, but he never did that.

 

I don't think Shady of any year would have had a substantial more amount of yards. If you count when he had zero hole at all, stopped and reversed his field, and may have had more acceleration in his earlier years to escape the next guy right on him and turn the corner, sure, he would have done that a few more times. But the vast, vast majority of his carries, IMO, he was dead man running, almost immediately. He may have had a substantial hole ten times the entire year.

He's kept that up all season wish he'd kept it going since hopefully his next game will be with a better line.

I think the difference this year is probably that they have different styles and while Ivory and Murphy could get more yards running through people Shady does great making people miss with space which he didn't get much of this season.

I don't think he meant anything by it.  I think hes not very bright and we know hes not exactly sensitive except for when hes being criticized.

He should have said all 5 of them.

He saying that they are really good.  I don’t necessarily think it’s a slight to his line but I can see how it would be interpreted that way

[YoloinOhio]

He publically begged One Flew Over an Incognito’s Nest to come back, and offered to pay him 300k on Twitter..  so this is no surprise

I would trade our Oline and WRs for Bama's straight up.

[purple haze]

Not a big deal.  The players know the truth.  The results back up the tweet.  None of the RBs had a great or even good season, in spite of flashes at times, and the offensive line was the main issue.  So many posters on here stayed the desire to get rid of many on the offensive line weekly, yet, when a player who is actually on the field says something folks want to clutch their pearls.  FOH.

 

BTW, did anyone see Dion Dawkins response tweet?  He knows too.

It's more of a professionalism thing kind of like with McDermott not calling them or the WR out after some bad games. People just don't like it when you call them out in the media but the O-line has to know they were not performing at an acceptable level.

[LSHMEAB]

DRAFT CLENIN FERRELL. This guy could change the complexion of our defense. Those are the plays in the redzone where a stud defensive lineman steps up and makes a play. 

 

He's stealing the lunch money of that vaunted Bama OL.

Shady, you will still lose with them, are you watching them get shredded all night?

Everyone knows.   And he didn't call anyone out by name.  And he wasn't talking to reporters.  ??‍♂️  I'm fairly certain more specific things have been said within the confines at One Bills Drive by players and coaches alike.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Who cares.

 

Shady I know you think you’re Barry Sanders and the Bills/media treats you that way, but you’re washed up. 

 

The Bills need to stop kissing this guys butt and get some more speed out of the backfield. 

 

The days of the “get Shady going” gameplan should be made long gone.

Drafting his more productive and cheaper replacement

[brianthomas]

Shady throwing shade, u don't say? But really how is that throwing shade? Its not like he said our linemen suck or that the Bama guys are better. He simply said he'd love to have one of their linemen.

The problem with words is that you don't get any of the context. With that in mind, perhaps the OP is throwing shade at our linemen for interpreting Shady's comments to be negative towards our guys?

Seems a bit of a stretch imo, but good clickbait nonetheless

Shady should stick with running and not evaluating O linemen because he done chose wrong. Clemson O line are agile hogs.

That one was not a dig though, more a compliment to a past teammate. And way too late for Richie now and he's better getting help than playing football but he was sorely missed this year. THE difference in the run game and McCoy's production.

 

At least his recent dig is way out of the season so no biggie but yeah no good can come out of that, for him or the team.

 

 

[Victory Formation]

If Shady is a Bill next year then I think he must have some compromising pictures of Terry Pegula.

Maybe he just saying that he hopes Bills draft one.  They do not even need to be starters.

Throwing shade?

 

Our OL needs a Total Solar eclipse thrown at them..

To me his decline is two fold........ability and availability.

 

I think he's clearly not the explosive player he still was in 2016...........but he can still give you some of that if used right.

 

His availability issues started as soon as he got to Buffalo...........he arrived a 300+ carry back but he has never been that guy in Buffalo...........IMO his carries should have been diminished each season to extend his career/effectiveness.

 

But in 2017 they over-used him.........his ypc was subsequently anemic........and I think the workload took a toll that we saw this year.

 

I still think have moments where he flashes that ankle breaking ability and make some nice plays but won't be available or anywhere near as effective as he could be if they try to give him 14-15 carries per game anymore.

 

I assume they will keep him and I'd hope they cut his carries to around 8-10 per game and get a young lead back to carry the heavier load.

The honest truth is the "vaunted" Bama OL is just not as good this year. They, much like the defense, is living off the reputation of past Bama OL's. Wills and Leatherwood are completely average. Cotton is not even playing if not for the suspension to Deonte Brown. Jonah and Piersbacher are the only above average players on that line.

Must be the offseason.

Perhaps a title change is in order.  Maybe something like, "Shady Impressed With Alabama's O Line."

Or being a Troll if your on this board ?

[Buddy Hix]

If it’s cool to be honest about our OL, it should be cool to be honest about our running backs. Shady is past his prime and the most overpaid RB in the NFL.

[Freddie's Dead]

Clever title.
