RyanC883 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think Gore is Rb 1 for now. Looked great in 3rd preseason game, great pass protector as well. Singletary and Yeldo. are great complementary parts. I could see almost a Timeshare with Gore and Singletary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonMan Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I doubt Singletary is our #1...or any back for that matter. The Bills’ offense is morphing more in to the Pats offense with a RB by committee apprach, each with their own set of skills/plays. I also don’t think the Shady move was about money. Yes they save $$$ but the Bills already had a lot of CAP space and aren’t likely looking at a trade for a big-money starter from someone else. This is about the Bills liking the mix of Gore-Singletary-Yeldon—Murphy. Muphy’s play in practice and pre-season showed he was more versatile than Shady (PR duty/ST/RB) while he didn’t result in a significant drop off in what Shady can do. If you don’t dump Shady, you don’t get to keep Murphy. Also, Shady is a d*&che and not a team guy the Bills look for in the new culture. Sure, they needed his skills the past couple of years but now he’s not worth the prima-donna headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't play ST like Sproles or Terry Metcalf did. He's pretty much strictly a RB isn't he. So I don't see the versatility. Also they were gamebreakers and I don't see him as that either. Mind you I think it is reasonable to project him as a good, possibly very good back. I think three other posters had it right. He may well routinely pick up 5-8 yards where a lesser back might get 2 or 3. I agree that NYG Morris is maybe a decent comparable, though I think he may be better. And I agree that probably one of the reasons they let McCoy go was to provide simplified focus for Singletary to learn from Gore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to see Shady go as well, but I think this move is solid from a football persecutive for this team and it is hard to fault. I think Gore will be better in the by committee approach and role they have planned for him, and he is a great locker room guy by all accounts. It never made sense to me that they would keep both with a rookie in the wings who needs to get carries. It is always sad to see veteran who has meant so much to the team get cut. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that he latched on with a contender and has a great year (unless he goes to NE ?). What demonstrated to me that he was a leader and a mentor is when he got on Robert Foster for not working hard and acting as if he was entitled. Foster got cut and was brought back. Foster pointed out that it was McCoy who took him aside and kicked his stubborn asss. He took the pointed advice to heart, changed his attitude and then regained a position with the team. 2 hours ago, FLFan said: I hate to see Shady go as well, but I think this move is solid from a football persecutive for this team and it is hard to fault.

You make a good point by pointing out that the Gore addition as much as the Singletary addition doomed his fate with the team. There was an overlapping role that made him expendable.

I like when a guy has a number that most players at their position, don’t have. Then if he’s good, it’s almost like throughout the league that number is associated with your guy. I like 49 for Edmunds too because of that. The 20’s blend in with the RBs. Be a good guy wearing 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
