Gore and Peterson had MUCH.......and I mean MUCH......better seasons than Shady for near league minimum. Shady was really bad.......the OL was bad but he's just always nagged with injuries and lost a lot of burst. That has to end if he wants to carry on and get over 12K yards and get a new deal next offseason. But like I said it's great news that he's training with Gore. Knowing that he's working out with Gore makes me think he's willing to go that extra length like Gore or Lorax or James Harrison and are able to stave off age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're kidding about Herschel or Okoye, I do like these "I'm making a comeback" old guy stories. Jim Brown brought that up well into his 50s. I remember Jim Palmer's ill-fated comeback after about half a dozen years away. Someday some old guy will actually pull it off. Think, for example, Jake Plummer ... could he have been worse at 42/43 years old than what the Broncos sent out there every Sunday? He's in great shape and a rated handball player. Go for it!

Mister Defense Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 2 hours ago, JohnC said: What happens if McCoy gets hurt? The Rams brought in a veteran back in CJ Anderson. When Gurley was injured Anderson was able to carry the load. I'm not against bringing in a veteran back, in fact I'm for it. But bringing him in when he can only be sparingly used makes no sense to me. !! THIS is the problem, why this is board is so po'd at this move--that it looks like we are going to basically stay put at running back despite the horrific year McCoy had. Gore can come in if he gets hurt!! Please, no! McCoy should be challenged by two young, talented running backs, not a 36 year old has been. So, to me it is not so much bringing Gore in that is causing so much consternation, but what it may mean for the running back position next year. If McCoy sucks still, then Gore takes over?? The Bills desperately need a few young, talented and high motor running backs. If THIS is truly the plan, as stated in this post, and it seems like it may be, the Bills are blind, and not seeing the extremely clear need--and what a young, talented running back can mean to to this team. This is essential, and not just for the running game to improve but for the passing game as well. This sucks, is very discouraging---and I really, really hope this poster is wrong, that the Bills cannot be this blind. Yikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Ivory's play last year. Gore is a HOF'er. Hell of a career. But why not spend 2 mil on a young back? 25 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: For one thing.........Frank won't get tackled by his hair.

Mountain Man Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Morsea andGore help Allen by both being excellent at pass protection for their position, and smart with respect diagnosing plays. They want to help Allen by letting those around do as much of the thinking as possible, let them manage protections etc. It makes a huge amount of sense as a signing, and shows they aren't just looking at talent, but how it links together Edited March 12, 2019 by Mountain Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The one thing I will say about this signing is that Gore is a major leader in the lockerroom. It's a good guy to have for our young guys and honestly, the guy ran for 722 yards last year on just 156 carries. Almost 5 yds a carry. As long as we part ways with Ivory, I'm ok with this signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
