I like Murphy, but don't really understand the sentiment, unless it's for special teams. Gore and Singletary are quite efficient backs. Yeldon is (when the other two are healthy) mostly a receiving back. Can Murphy replace Yeldon as a quality receiving back? I don't recall that being his strength.

I get that, but you have to think about the RB room. Who has what skills. Murphy on the team helps ST for sures. Probably doesn't even play in the backfield unless Gore or Singletary are injured. I'm not saying I'm completely against it. But if I'm going to make a tweak to this roster, RB isn't high on the the list of things that need to be improved, IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injuries don't concern me that much. Nothing is looking serious at that point. Good timing for the bye week. Marshall was signed on 9/3 ------see below---takes time to learn the system---they might bring him up soon. September 09/25 Signed WR Jordan Veasy to the practice squad. 09/24 Signed DT Kyle Peko to the active roster & placed DT Harrison Phillips on IR. Signed LB Nate Hall to the practice squad and released LB Curtis Akins. 09/18 Singed LB Curtis Akins to the practice squad and released WR Tyron Johnson. 09/12 Signed TE Nate Becker to the practice squad and released LB Nate Hall. LB Tyrel Dodson was suspended without pay for six games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. 09/05 Signed DT Vincent Taylor to the practice squad and released TE Nate Becker 09/03 Signed RB Byron Marshall to the practice squad. 09/02 Signed QB Davis Webb, WR Tyron Johnson, and LB Nate Hall to the practice squad. 09/01 Signed S Kurt Coleman and placed TE Jason Croom on IR.

On that second 4th down, where Josh was stonewalled, I thought they should have either done what they did the previous 4th down and rushed to the line and skipped the huddle OR kick the FG. I figured they were going to fake it the 2nd time. Once again, I was wrong. But with this D I guess he can take a few chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 1 hour ago, PolishPrince said: Why? Yeldon has done fine outside of the one fumble. Yeldon has actually started and played in the league. Murphy is a 27 year old bouncing around on practice squads, he doesnt block. The only positive Murphy has on yeldon is that he can return punts. My thoughts exactly. He was good in the pass game today and had a couple of nice carries. What we need is the game breaker and I'm hoping Singletary can get on the field and provide that. More use of McKenzie, Roberts and even Knox with those jet sweeps would be nice too and I love the bootleg Josh had on third down to end it. A little bit of those designed QB runs and some deep threats would help. I'd love to see Foster take a step up like last year and stretch the field. We've really missed this so far this year.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 If Singletary can't play or gets hurt again we need something more at RB. Gore is good for some short yardage and grinding out some minutes at the end of the game but shouldn't be the starting RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are off for week 6, I would really like this offense to fix the rushing attack. I think Allen could benefit from a better running game and Gore alone can't handle the load. When SIngletary is healthy it's all good but since then we get a little too much uni dimensional. When I see Gore gaining 5 yards on 1st down and go to the sideline for 2nd down, it drives me nuts. Do you tweak or do nothing? Hey, maybe we could bring up the British bloke on the practice squad, he look good in preseason. ? Wait for it . . . .

I think the bills need to simply tell Bojo to just kick the ball into the endzone and dare the other team to travel 50 yards for a FG attempt or 80 for TD. he has issues with corner kicks and is below average kicker but good punters are not always easy to find.

skibum Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I think the roster is pretty solid at the moment. Today's game was a good example of that -There were multiple injuries, but it made no difference because they have good players up and down the depth chart, and good coaching. The Defense is pretty much as good as any fan could hope for, from top to bottom. WR still seems a little weak, but I think they can let it ride as long as Allen continues to improve his throwing game. That's pretty much what it comes down to now. They need to score more points, and that's more on Allen than anyone else on the current roster . Edited October 7, 2019 by skibum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 1. Trade for an OT - Ford is not ready for RT, Nsekhe isn't even any good. 2. Get Kroft, Singletary, and Foster healthy. I really don't think they need to add or release any offense skill players. Zay has no value in trades so it makes no sense to cut him unless they add an OT or Edge rusher. 3. Trade for Von Miller - the defense is great but they are not getting edge pressure. Edge pressure will lead to more turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It’s fun to be in a position where it actually makes sense to consider making a trade before the deadline. We can at least daydream about potential trade There could potentially be some good players available if some of these rumors are true. I wouldn’t want the Bills giving up any prime assets (like a 1st or 2nd) for someone that they only view as a 1/2 season rental. Id be fine with it for a longer term fit though.

I understand that he is potentially an all world player, but considering his injury history and age (though some age differently) 1 1st rounder would be all that I would consider. If he has several good years left and the Bills are confident he can last...Its their call. It is not up to me...I don't feel anyone will give up that huge of a bounty. Looks like the Skins keep him.

SCBills Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I think our potential involvement in going after Diggs will have a lot to do with what the staff thinks of/expects from a healthy Robert Foster. We could be seriously dangerous with another weapon opposite Brown, with Beasley and Duke, especially with Singletary back.
