4BillsintheBurgh Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Running the ball is one part of being a running back. This coaching staff seems to be willing to let folks compete so if he can get the rest of the game down he might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmur66 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Harkens as in " is similar to" I think IMO Singletary and Moss are too much alike. Williams looked like a breath of fresh air and he looked very good. The coaches know about his blocking ability and ball security. If he has that down he may just get a shot. One of the coaches on the sideline was having a cow telling everybody "I told you so......" Edited January 4, 2021 by bmur66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Just another PS stash on a very deep team. I assume Yeldon will be gone unless more exposing photos become available so Williams will compete next year. Moss has been coming on strong lately so don’t think that pick was a miss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBobs Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 A little bit reminiscent of Willie Parker running wild against the Bills in the season closer in 2004 -- perhaps a preview of things to come. That said, not down on Singletary or Moss at all -- if he has any special teams ability it wouldn't be a surprise at all to see him on the 53 next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Williams is more like a very poor man's version of Karlos Williams. Straight ahead runner only.......no wiggle to his game........not very athletic.........opposite of an Austin Eckler who can beat you with the run or the pass. I mentioned in another thread that some fans were giddy about the future of Darick Holmes and Tim Tindale after the 1995 Dolphins playoff blowout.........you can't put much stock into what happens during broken football time. If so then Dean Marlowe would be getting a 5 year $50M+ contract this offseason. Edited January 4, 2021 by BADOLBILZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I went back and watched his highlights from his college days. He's a downhill runner with some shiftiness. Sort of a Moss clone, but maybe a tad bit quicker. Not sure why he didn't see more touches in college, but good players get buried for all sorts of reasons. He's definitely someone to watch heading into camp this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I think it is actually “hearkens back”— like you need the “back” In there. also, I think the mass confusion has been caused by the combination of an antiquated word like “hearkens” (misspelled), right next to colloquial abbreviations, like “W.” and “fredEX.” But other than that, I love A Dubs. Reminds Me of the young preseason star, Lionel Gates. Edited January 4, 2021 by Miyagi-Do Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Moss averages 4.3 YPC and Singletary 4.4 YPC. What are you talking about? Let's all take a deep breath and repeat after me: "The Bills only run the ball when needed." How quickly we forget how they ran over 7 minutes off the clock on Pittsburgh to end the game and how they went on a long drive against Denver late in the 4th by running the ball as well. When they want to run the ball, they can do it and do it effectively. When the game is still in the balance, they mostly just don't want to. And can you blame them?? Why would you want 4 or 5 yards when Allen can get you 15 or 20? It would be idiotic for them to do otherwise. Moss and Singletary do a good enough job at that and they might be 2 of the best backs in the NFL in pass pro, which is what they are REALLY used for most of the time. You fail to understand what the offense is trying to accomplish. We don't give a crap if a guy can come in and run for 4.6 YPC but has no ability to pass protect...he is useless in this offense. The Bills want to put the ball in Allen's hands most of the game. Looks like a pretty smart decision so far.

He was very impressive. I'd need to see him playing against guys who weren't already in the process of being humiliated though. Moss has looked better and better as the season's progressed. This just isn't an offense that will ever ask a single RB to run the ball more than 200 times in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
