Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 From week 1 last year I have been asking for Yeldon. I’m not sure why a team would carry a veteran RB on the roster (for 2 years) if they won’t make him active? It’s pointless. This guy has good vision and burst. He’s one of the best pass catching RBs in Football. Yeldon also has good size and speed. Please give this guy a shot. The guys we have aren’t made to run out of shotgun and 11 personnel.

LabattBlue Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Clearly Beane, McD and Daboll are not on the same page. How else do you explain him being signed for two years, have struggling rookies in front of him on the depth chart, yet he sees little to no playing time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, Singletary and Moss are not doing anything right now behind that offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Free TJ. This stupid & stubborn decision to not play him over struggling Singletary/ Moss is getting ridiculous. Just do it Sean. We won't think less of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Everyone keeps calling him a fumbler but I’m pretty sure that Singletary led the league on fumble pct last year?

I’m not sure there is any valid reason for concern over Yeldon’s fumbling. Yeldon has never had more than 2 fumbles in a season while Singletary recorded 4 fumbles last year. My guess is that this team seems to force their top draft picks onto the field at times without them always earning it. Think about Zay Jones, he was pretty bad but played right away and often. Oliver was playing over Phillips early last year until it was too obvious to ignore that Oliver needed to take a step back and regroup. Look at Cody Ford l, they have forced him into spots across the line at the expense of other veterans who have been productive. AJ is now playing a at end and I have not seen much to warrant any action. And Moss is plugged in right away but has shown little burst. He runs hard but has not been very productive while Yeldon has been productive whenever called upon. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it too. But not only draft picks. McD has favourites who can't produce (Gore, Di Marco, Murphy, bunch of ex-Panthers). Why they don't see Yeldon deserves more time? He made good carries and great long TD catch. I doubt Moss could catch it. They can't recoginze talent. I am still emotional they let go Jordan Philips who was the best our DL last season and gave almost the same money he wanted to Butler and other garbage who cant't worry a QB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daboll always has him right next to Josh in the shotgun and he's starting from a dead stop w these draw play handoffs.

Jerry Jabber Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 So far, Yeldon looks the best running the ball compared to Singletary and Moss, plus he is great at catching the ball. Not sure why he is not being used?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Been pretty disappointed in Moss to this point though I admittedly had high expectations of him. Singletary has been pretty good though IMO. The run blocking has been atrocious. I would tend to agree the OP's reasoning of "Why would you carry a vet RB for two years just to make him inactive the whole time", but I would point to that as the logic for simply moving on rather than activating him to give him more time. Yeldon is not good. Singletary is good IMO. Moss might be in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I can see the point here of starting Yeldon. The larger point is that the position as whole is weak if people are clamoring for Yeldon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) YES! CAN WE PLEASE GIVE YELDON SOME TOUCHES!!! Myself personally, the good hands Yeldon could have made the difference in the KC game IMO. Yeldon needs to be utilized as a 3rd down specialist. The running game needs Yeldons change of running style to keep the oppositions D on its heels in my humble opinion. The Bills must see the potential or he wouldn't be here.

WideNine Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 His style of running is a better fit against the type of 2-deep shell w/spy kind of defenses the Bills have been seeing. Our line has been unable to sustain their run blocks and have lacked leverage and finish the past few games, but there usually is a small gap of daylight early when they first get into a defender. This is where a back that just hits his assigned gap quickly and tries to break through the line, then make guys miss is an asset. I like them both on the field as their styles of running would be complimentary, but agree that having Yeldon in the backfield may make defenses rethink keeping both safeties deep, or they may swap one for an extra backer - that could open up options deep for Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Yeldon has made a few good plays here an there. Hope JF makes it back and maybe we will see a difference in that area. Hope so anyways.

ColoradoBills Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I would of enjoyed seeing more of Yeldon instead of Gore last year and I think he should dress ahead of Moss for the next few games this season.
