ColoradoBills Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 9 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: Bean said a while ago that Allen needs to take/make more intermediate passes to get those 5 yard gains that make it 3rd and manageable. This, along with Beasley, are pickups that enable him to do that. We now have 2 speedy receiving options (Foster/Brown) and two intermediate route options (Beasley/Yeldon, and perhaps a TE). I like it. I see as: Brown/Foster deep threats with comeback balls when JA extends plays. Beasley/Zay/TE for intermediate balls. Shady/Yeldon/Gore for screens/swings and short middle passes. It's not bad as I see it and can't wait to see what the draft brings into this equation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 1 hour ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Good catch but it’s like NE shouldn’t be compared to other teams in some respects. Also, IMO, Those Yeldon type guys are more important to Brady because of how he attacks a defense. Im nervous that Daboll is trying to build NE’s offense (dink and dunk) when it doesn’t really fit Allen. I think one of the strengths in NE is that while white is the primary pass catcher - they prefer do-all backs. White became more of a bell cow in 2018, but in 2017 he was right in the mix with lewis and burkhead. All can block and catch so it lets you kind of play a hot hand, helps with injuries, and you have more fresh legs on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This is a good signing. If Shady gets hurt during the season and misses any games (what's the chances of THAT happening, amirite?), then Yeldon will step right in to the starter role. Beane knows what he's doing. Do not question The Process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signing.Good philosophy. Only downfall is, I wish we had a Shady, 3rd down Gore, and pass catching back in one body. I'm sure it'll get figured out tho?

Mat68 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Having a guy in the the backfield who can block or catch is a big get for the growth of Allen. Yeldon imo could be a poor man's Bell in a sense. Move him around the formation and get him the ball underneath vs LB. Daboll is trying to add some easy throws for Allen underneath. Beasly for the slot, running the routes Welker, Edelman and Amendola ran. Yeldon in a James White type role makes sense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Reading some of the posts in this thread you'd think he signed a Le'veon Bell contract.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yeldon is young enough that he has a chance to revive a career that's been heading in the wrong direction. If the Bills can give him decent blocking, he has the skill set to do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
