DBilz2500 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Even dating back to last year Yeldon always seems to run pretty well and is a great pass catcher. I’m not just going by tonight’s inflated garbage time stats but anybody thinking he should get more touches? Just a thought. Flame away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The answer is yes. He has been the only back with any burst 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe, but it wouldn't have been a difference maker tonight, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yeldon did a good job of plowing ahead for ~3 yards. Singletary had a number of runs where he had multiple guys on him in the backfield. Dunno if that's on Singletary or the O-Line (but i'm leaning towards the oline) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yes. He’s also the best back at picking up pass rushers and we can flex him out as a WR. Make Singletary earn his playing time back. No clue what Moss is... can’t get on the field. Probably should’ve been drafted by the Jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Yep. Singletary hasn’t been good IMO. I know he hasn’t had a lot of holes to run through. But outside the rams game he has been unimpressive Edited October 14, 2020 by BillsFan130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I love Singletary - but he's really only good in space. He's better catching the ball out of the backfield, or running on the edges. He should never run up the middle again. When is Moss back? Still want to see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I don’t know if Yeldon should get more touches, but there’s gotta be something out there better At RB than what we got. Defenses give no respect to our running game. Even when OL opens big holes, Singletary is not getting more than 5-6 yards right now. They need a hungry RB who’s gonna run with some violence.

In a league where really good running backs can be found on the street corner, it is inexcusable for a team that has used premium picks on the position in the last two drafts to have such a thoroughly mediocre (probably too kind a word) running attack.

Bookie Man Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yes I was saying this last year while Gore was averaging like 1.5 ypg. But everyone hated Yeldon bc he fumbled like twice in 20 carries. The dude is big and has a burst and is a good receiver. He needs more touches.

He has been the only back with any burst Singletary looked like garbage tonight and he has lately. Zero burst or speed. I understand our OL sucks at run blocking. You could even argue they're the worst in the NFL. But I had so much hope for Devin & Zack and now it's time to give Yeldon his chance. This is stupid. If we don't establish some small running game, this team is in trouble. Defensively I don't recognize anything anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not just going by tonight’s inflated garbage time stats but anybody thinking he should get more touches? Just a thought. Flame away Singletary has no burst or speed and times don't lie, his forty time was above 4.6 and he is not very big, relies on making people miss more than anything else. I said it last season that the guy is too slow for the NFL. Not by accident and Sean took him out, i saw plenty of plays where he tried to dance rather then just steam ahead and get yards. 10 minutes ago, BuffaloRebound said: Agreed.

Could never understand Singletary pick, slow 40 time and small.

We don’t have single running back that you would want to give the ball to on 3rd and 1. Other teams have two or three and they did use a bunch of high draft picks to find them.

Charles Romes Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Yeldon had the best game of any Bill tonight.

McDermott and Beane always talk about completion and earning it... Yeldon has done so. Those short yardage runs were beautiful, especially for a team who’s only short yardage backs were an injured rookie and a QB.

Nelius Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yes, because you have to, but this isn't a good thing. I'm not a Yeldon fan. He may prove me wrong and be a veteran safety valve but that's about all you get. RB is a weakness right now. Other problem is that this is an issue throughout the NFL right now with all of the injuries so there really isn't anybody dynamic that's waiting for a job. Was Marcus Murphy faster than an aging Yeldon? In a weird year likes this it might help to call on some old friends. We need somebody that can break a play.
