If you think the Bills backfield is ancient, I would think dumping a 30 year old RB, and probably drafting a potential RB of the future, would make you happy.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I think it's funny we actually got older at RB. Honestly though, Gore still can play. We can get a RB any year we want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in the 3rd and one in the 5th. Gore turns 36 in May. There's no way he has a 4.6 y/a like last year. No matter how improved our oline is.

I know it sounds out there but look at John Miller's contract with the Bengals. You never know. He’s gotten surprising value a few times. Ivory? Well, there are limits.....

Nearly a full yard below the 4.2 league average per carry. How far below league average is the threshold for being a good stopgap at RB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, Ivory was fine. Made a couple of really big plays in the passing game as an outlet for Josh. Find me a RB who would have run well behind that line last year. I think Jim Brown himself would have averaged around 3.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of 1 great or memorable play. he didn’t really do much of anything. In a few years I don’t think I’ll even remember he played for the Bills. Wish him the best but his time in Buffalo was almost non existent. Really? I can think of several...2 of them were very long receptions on Allen scrambles...like 50 or 60 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow Gore has defied the odds- I wouldnt be surprised at all if he ran into the brick wall this season. depend on our blocking. Last year. plenty of brick walls to run into ! I expect better play this year Ivory Good solid runner, excellent effort and made some nice plays for Bills. Thought they might wait a bit longer but , as mentioned and as Bills have done under Beane. getting him his best chance to get picked up asap is a decent move from FO. wish him well ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine trying to tackle him, would've been like trying to talk a boulder rolling down a mountain at full speed. Meh. 27 of his 115 carries were stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage. Another 29 were for 1-2 yards. So about 50% of his carries went backwards or barely forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both probably go to camp with a drafted rookie from the mid rounds and I would think maybe even an UDFA. Gore and Shady will take very few reps in TC. I think it's good move on Beane's part to let Ivory go now so he can try to get on another roster for the summer. He was toast the day Beane signed Gore.
