He's caught 75% of the targets thrown to him for 7.8 yards per reception. He's never been given the opportunity to bring his production to scale over the course of an entire season. If you watched him in Jax he’s a complimentary back at best. doesn’t handle Full time duties well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. K Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I wouldn't say no but would signing him make the Bills look desperate? And think of the fan reaction of the Bills signing a RB before addressing the defensive line (not that you can do too much right now anyways) Stay the course boys, we still have 11 games to go and plenty more chances to improve our playoff odds.

Big Turk Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 8 minutes ago, Greg S said: Exactly. I wouldn't give him a contract with term but bring him in for the rest of this year is a no brainer. I think he would buy into McDermott's process especially since the Bills are a winning team. It's a vet minimum deal with the Jets picking up whatever is left of the $6 million he is owed...basically the Jets are going to be paying him to play somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 6 minutes ago, NewEra said: 15 games behind the maybe the worst OL in the league and definitely the worst HC. He is much better than he was able to show with the jets. He’s not what he was with the Steelers, but can he be better than Moss/Yeldon. Absolutely Soon So you're saying the poor run game tis year is on Singletary/Moss and Yeldon, not the run blocking? That's an interesting take.. Again--he was "used" extensively on the Jets last year. Tons of touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I thought the Jets signing Bell for that money was monumentally stupid. The Bills signing for a more reasonable deal to replace yeldon would be alright with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We're not really comparing Le'Veon Bell to TJ Yeldon now are we?

He had a very good game on Sunday w limited snaps. He's proved himself useful in this league. Yeldon has 6 rushing TDs on almost 500 carries in his career. Imagine needing to give him the ball NINETY times to score a TD. The Yeldon love is insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one very nice blitz pickup that I recall. It's not as if Singletary is a good blocker... Yeldon got a good dose of snaps Tuesday. I thought he was decent in PP, and also provided the threat of a wheel route. He did have a big whiff on a LB who had a free run at Josh. Him and Knox I believe were lined up in the backfield. I think it was Yeldon that missed big time and took off into the flat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And think of the fan reaction of the Bills signing a RB before addressing the defensive line (not that you can do too much right now anyways) Stay the course boys, we still have 11 games to go and plenty more chances to improve our playoff odds. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that a key difference in many teams is that 5 or 6 games in, they honestly self-inventory, assess their weaknesses, and look for key acquisitions through FA or trade that can make a difference. I'm on the fence about Bell. He clearly has the potential to be me-first and attitudinal - look at his holdout, look at his "I have flu, so I'm not playing...I'll go bowling instead!" excapade with the Jets. When a team takes a $15M cap hit to dump a player, it's not because he's without flaw. On the other hand: Has the attitude been thumped out of him by chasing the $$ to the Jets and winding up under Adam Gase? It's hard to blame a player for making "career decisions" there, or for liking a few tweets. Tannehill is Exhibit A of the Hellpit that's a Gase-coached team. Most important: Bell's running style required a certain type of blocking for success. Do we have the potential for that style of run blocking? And does Bell, at almost 29, still have "it"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not one to do that 🤣 Our problem is OL. Luckily for us, we have a potentially dominant pass game that can open up the run game based on how teams defend us as the season goes on. I think bell is a better RB than Moss and yeldon. Do you? Good in pass pro, goal line and catching out of the backfield. Upgrading a position and possibly gaining a combo pick for what should be a low price makes sense to me. Get better anywhere we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
