He has essentially been benched since Williams came back and has less than 5 cares since early December. They need him - on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Gore age 36 had a better than Shady at age 31. McCoy was a shifty back who when he lost that cutting ability fell off a cliff as he was unable or unwilling to take the one cut and a plow forward style runs. Looking at abnormal long term success for backs in the NFL it appears the backs that are higher mass & utilize a one cut style last longer and are more desirable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know his skills slipped. I hope he gets a ring because he deserves it being on our team through the bad years. I will pretzel logic this to mean each of us holding a fan card through the drought deserves an individual ring as well. I can get behind this!

Maybe there are better guys on the team, but you wonder if it is the “right” thing to do to activate a 12-year vet possible HOFer in his only SB appearance. in this offense too, he has been effective when given the ball this year. Wouldn’t shock me that if you give him 3-4 touches, he busts off a 20-yarder. if KC truly believes that that 53rd guy on the roster is critical for their success, then fine. But if not, seems like they ought to get McCoy out there for his final hurrah. as bad as Gore looked, i guarantee he would have been active if the Bills were playing tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 6 hours ago, Da webster guy said: Never saw the upside of limiting a roster to less than 60. This is a perfect example of why. If KC gets a nice lead and wants to bring in a popular vet like Shady for a few touches they should be able to. 53 isn't enough. It would also help to develop young players, sometimes a blowout happens or guys get hurt and if there were deeper rosters it would benefit everyone. Is McCoy popular in KC?

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 7 hours ago, Chicken Boo said: I think it's a mistake. Shady is one of the best pass blocking RBs I've ever seen and if Damien Williams gets hurt... McCoy didn't have many carries this season but made good use the ones he did get. 4.6ypc I think Reid knows what he's doing there. McCoy was running well earlier in the season, and racking up the YPC - 8.1, 2.1, 6.8, 5.1, 5.5, 5.3. But in his most recent 6 games it was 4.4, 3.0, 4.1, 2.0, 3.6, 2.7 At a guess, he's either dinged up and working through something, or just worn out. It was said he was sick for the AFC Championship, but he was a healthy scratch the previous week. We'll see - it's just a report at this point.

Activate a nobody backup interior d-lineman who everyone knows won’t play, over a possible HOF RB who can actually get you some good touches? Everyone knows the DL won’t play.....yeah not really. Might not show up on your fantasy team stats but that is it what wins NFL games. It is not some kind of lifetime achievement entitlement to be active. You do every single thing to win the SB when you are in it and leave emotions out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest thing with Gore vs Shady is who they wanted around Singletary in his rookie year. It was all about Devin’s development once Devin showed them what he could do in camp. They gave shady a chance to show he could be the #1 RB in camp and Singletary beat him out. After that, it was between him and gore as devin’s mentor.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 If Shady is inactive it's a dumb move by Reid. He is a great player and will have a great play or two. 4.6 YPC this year. His game logs look like a real up and down season. 8.1 YPC in one game and 2.1 in a few others. He will make more plays than a backup DL. 10 minutes ago, atlbillsfan1975 said: Great points. i also think Gore was a better choice as a vet mentor for Singletary. Based on what?

I know someone taught you "when you hear hoofbeats, don't think of zebras" I know it. The horse clopping along is that McCoy averaged 5.5 ypc in the first 6 games he played in this season, but only 3.3 ypc in the most recent 6 games he played this season. The most straightforward explanation is that Reid feels the game plan calls for activating 2 and not 3 RBs, and Shady is no longer considered the best 2 RBs on the KC team. Why come up with some hypothetical "attitude" speculation? McCoy carried 10x in that week 16 game last year. The benching at the start didn't last long - slap on a wrist for being late to the bus or some such. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
