Singletary Update??

Hot off the cold press 

 

 

Bills are waiting to find out if Singletary will be able to be in the lineup for their Week Three game against the Bengals. Singletary injured his hamstring in the second half of Sunday’s victory over the Giants and head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that the team considers him day-to-day while “gathering information” about how seriously he’s injured.

“Still don’t know definitively at this point what’s going on there,” McDermott said, via the Buffalo News.

 

IF  if he can’t go, T.J. Yeldon may have a bigger role on offense

I believe this week's offensive game plan will including a heavier rushing attack, and I think Singeltary will be a go all week. But I still expect the majority of carries go to Gore, and I think Yeldon will get about five carries. I believe the Bills are bringing Singeltary along slowly to keep him fresh and the limit the amount NFL film the Pats* have on him before next week's game. Now, if the Bills' O comes out and lays an egg through the first-half, they'd take the reins off him. I see Singletary really has only been used when needed so far.

Nothing good can happen rushing a hamstring injury. I expect Singletary to be shut down against the Bengals and go with Yeldon and Gore. We need Motor 100% for the Patriots.

Gore was credited with 46 fumbles in 14 years (I did not count this year) with 95 TDs.  It did not list how many of his own fumbles he recovered which happens for RBs occasionally with ball popping out and then RB grabbing it as he went down.

46 fumbles on approx 3900 carries/receptions up to this year.  1.1% fumble rate for Gore over career.  Lower rate than Emmit Smith's 61 fumbles on 5000 possessions.

The team hosted the annual Bills’ Rookie Flag Football clinic yesterday, where kids from local NFL sponsored flag football leagues do various drills with the Bills’ rookie players.  Singletary was out on the field with the kids.  He didn’t appear to have any issues walking and running around, and even jumped a couple of times to catch an errant pass.  I would think if the injury was serious, the team would not have allowed him to participate.

Good news. His injury might just have been cramp if so.

 

I remember the first time I got cramp in my hamstring. It was horrendous. Getting out of the car after a playing a soccer game, bang! It felt like something was in the back of my leg trying to get out through my hammy. Like the scene in Alien where the beast leaves John Hurt's chest. 

 

I used to get cramp in the calfs a lot but the feeling was nothing compared to the pain of hammy cramp.

That is FANTASTIC to hear.  Way to provide some real honest-to-goodness inside info!

With the way the 49ers ran all over Cinci last week, with no elite back, I'm comfortable playing this week with Gore and Yeldon. Give the kid a week off to ensure he'll be available for the New England game.

but if he is healthy enough to play, he should

MCDermott tried to play it cautious saying Singletary is day to day and not pracricing today. But then he had a big smile on his face, when somebody brought up that singletary participated in a charity event and was walking around comfortably. Im not sure if it was a nervous smile, that he might not be able to keep it quiet much longer that Singletary is fine.

What do you know the last 4 teams did not?  Released for a washed up Paul Perkins who has not played since 2017. 

 

just looking at the first 3 games with the rams where he went for over 100 yards each time. not saying he should be the main guy but he could be a nice stop gap. And the lions have no idea how to get a rb it seems

let's pick up cj anderson 

Who do you drop from the 53?  That is the harder part.

Thinking if he plays at all he isnt getting much work.

 

My guess is that its Gore and Yeldon show this week.

Agreed.  Singletary will be inactive and the load will be shared between Gore, Yeldon and our FB not to forget Allen's run game,

He felt his hamstring go in such a way that while still on the field started hopping around and grabbing the back of his leg.

 

He isn't playing this week, and it's probably best to plan for a month absence to let it fully heal.  This isn't our first hamstring rodeo, friends.

This is my big worry with any of these guys.  With the talent level on this team, when they get cut, we will probably never see them again.

If it was a month they’d be adding someone. He wouldn’t be stretching. He MAY be out this week but that’s it.

The team gains more benefit by Singletary practicing, not "throwing the Bengals off by not knowing who to practice for themselves" and that sort of garbage.  

 

These guys seem to think they are working to crack--and defend--the enigma code and the freedom of the world is at stake.  LOL.   

 

If he is healthy, get him on the practice field.
