Give me TJ. We don’t need a back to run the ball. We need a back to block and catch the ball.  I don’t want Daboll to have grandiose ideas that we are a running team

Both. There are guys we don’t need that dress every week

For some reason, he thought Allen was a RB today....that’s got to stop 🛑.

The major negative about Yeldon is he tends to fumble the ball a lot.

 

There might be a little recency bias with him given his Titans game fumble with us driving.

 

Seven fumbles on 677 touches in his NFL career isn't terrible.  It was a major problem for him coming out of college though.

The funny thing is it was a pre-season game where he fumbled twice that landed him in McDermott's dog house. I really can't believe he is still on the team since he rarely sees the field.

 

One thing McDermott can't stand is a fumbler. Ask Moss about that during the SF game.

I think we'll see Wiliams brought up as insurance against Singletary/Yeldon going down for a COVID reason the night before or the day of the game.  Yeldon was that guy (for Singletary/Moss before), but with Moss out there's no such safety net.  So we see Williams elevated and then inactive on Saturday. 

 

*And by "elevated" I mean that Williams will be one of the two PS players added to make "55" this week. 

 

I vaguely recall a fumble that was launched into the air against NE in the home game last year.  That was more or less the end of Yeldon's shot to be a primary ballcarrier here. 

 

Maybe Stills or Dane Jackson as the other?

I really liked a lot of what Jackson has done this year.

I want Williams based on what he did against the Dolphins. (Though I recognize that was late in a game when the Fins were already beaten down.) But McDermott will likely go with the guy better at blitz pickups. Probably Yeldon.

That's why I'd like to see Williams added. Remember the Steelers game, when Moss and the Bills ran over seven minutes off the clock in the fourth quarter? I can see Williams doing that to Baltimore, just as he did against Miami. Maybe worth a spot in the lineup only for that possibility.

I'm gonna go with potentially Darron Lee.  Stills seems less likely to me, unless something is wrong with Brown/McKenzie and they want someone with speed to run jet sweep/pop pass here and there.  Speed at LB seems much more important to me in this case if we approach Jackson like we did last year.  I can see us sitting Andre White, dressing Dodson in his place (ST takes a back seat here), and going either with Lee or maybe even Antonio Williams (less likely) in place of Gilliam (ST is really taking a back seat in that event).  

 

Bates probably could fill the TE3 role, especially if they're planning on running 4 wide much of the game.  I suppose if the gameplay is really receiver heavy we might see Stills just so an injury to a WR doesn't knock us out of the game.  But I kind of wonder if we're going to see Lee as a counter to Jackson.

I only remember one since he’s been here (last year vs pats) what are the others? He barely plays. Did he fumble this year? 

 

The Pats fumble, IIRC, was pretty bad.  He kind of got flipped and the ball launched from his arm.  I doubt McD trusts him.

I think I erased that entire game from memory. so he’s lost one fumble in 2 years in limited touches. I wouldnt categorize that as he fumbles “a lot”.

 

Well prior to the Bills it wasn't a lot.  He's fumbled more per touch since joining the Bills.

Yeldon is a very good receiver out of the backfield and at 6 foot plus can also run patterns after going in motion out wide.    He can also hold up in pass protection and be a safety valve for Josh.  Curious what he will be able to do.

 

Still see Singletary getting 12-15 carries and Yeldon about 6-9 carries.  Don't see Josh getting too many carries by design versus the ravens.

Interesting take. I like your logic here.

He's the best receiver we have out of the backfield. He gets out quick and his movement is fluid. Motor seems stiff and slow in his swing routes for whatever reason. 

 

I think TJ could end up having a huge game.

Yeldon early and Williams late.  I dont think Baltimore is going to go against what they are.  They will play man and blitz.  Buffalo will do what they did vs Seatle, Miami both games, Ne in December.  Yeldon is alot early.  4 wide and spread yeldon gets play.  Late 2nd quarter second half Williams salts the game.  Cold and losing. Williams takes the soul and want late.

Yeldon was 3/3 in short yardage v the a titans. 3 of our best short yardage runs all year. 

Most of us still have that fumble thing hanging over his head.
Motor aint no saint in that Dept btw
