John from Riverside Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, NoSaint said: shocked? No. Unhappy? No. Surprised? Yes. I think they will want a little experience in the room based on what we’ve seen of their culture building. I doubt we end up with singletary, 2 rookies, and a rugby player in the building week 1 even if it’s our most talented option. I would be suprised.....with Moss we now have a back that covers every area - Motor (elusive) - Moss (banger) - Yeldon (pass catcher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The Athletic live tracker: 86. Buffalo Bills: Zack Moss, RB, Utah The Bills found value at the running back position in the third round last year with Devin Singletary and they do it again here with Moss. The contact balance is what makes the Utah product dangerous because he attacks defenders and bounces off contact, breaking tackle after tackle. The medicals are a little bit of a worry here, but his talent was top-50 worthy. From the beat writer: The Buffalo Bills had been sniffing around running backs in the draft process, including a meeting with their third-round pick, and landed a coveted option in Utah’s Zack Moss. The Bills feel quite strongly about the current starter and second-year player Devin Singletary as a featured back, though they wanted to give him a complementary back with a contrasting style. They tried it last year with Frank Gore as the downhill runner, and past mid-October, Gore’s play dipped by a great deal. In Moss, the Bills are getting that downhill style that can give them another option out of the backfield, and he can potentially fill in as a three-down back in the event of an injury to Singletary. Their offensive coordinator likes to have running backs who do different things, so this pick makes sense through the lens of all their philosophies. —Matt Fairburn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words he runs a little stiff. They can work on that. That 4.66 is a bit misleading he was hurt at the combine and tried to run anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s about 0.3 sec slower than MJD, about the same speed as Gronk, and less than .1 slower than Mario Williams. It is not a deal breaker obviously. But it is a valid concern heading into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant these guys are going to play and contribute. I think neither guy is a "polish his game and he might see some playing time" like a lot of 3rd round picks. Epenesa is going to pass rush and moss will carry the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
