BillsFan4 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: I mean would he even be able to play Saturday? That’s what I was wondering. Some on Twitter saying he’d be eligible to play quicker because he was on a team up until 4 days ago and is current on covid testing, but I have no idea if that’s true or not. I did just read this: https://www.nfl.com/news/jared-veldheer-to-play-for-two-different-teams-in-same-postseason-after-signing- ‘Jared Veldheer to play for two teams in same postseason after signing with Packers’ He was on the colts practice squad and played on Saturday. Now apparently he’s set to play for the packers this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Warcodered said: I mean would he even be able to play Saturday? No. He might be eligible but unlikely to have mastered enough of our playbook. Look at it this way. The Bills thought the correct # of RBs to have on the active roster was 4, counting Taiwan Jones, plus 1 on the PS. So now we've lost Moss, they're trying to backfill with the best player available. 17 minutes ago, MJS said: Well he isn't on the 53... ? Yeldon? He is. But he did just have covid-19, maybe he is having some wind issues or something like Myles Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTruster Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 10 hours ago, Process said: McBeane is going to do whatever it takes to make sure TJ Yeldon never sees the field as a buffalo bill. Well, he IS a liability in pass protection, and had something of a fumbling history with other teams. He is basically a soft kind of player. Haven't seen Freeman, but if he is good, he was a monster in his prime. Who knows? Leave it to McBeanes. They have absolutely proven they know what they are doing personnel-wise.

YoloinOhio Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I suspect this is adding RB depth for future playoff games should the bills win on Saturday, not a guy who would actually be ready to play on Saturday. 9 hours ago, MJS said: Well he isn't on the 53...

I have no idea, this is usually where you keep a big grinder type RB or small pass catching RB. This is where developmental RB's are usually put but Yeldon is not that either. I don't know why the ***** he is where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he possible be related to somebody on the coaching or scouting staff? I worked a ton of different jobs when I was younger, you would always see that one guy who doesn't do ***** all day and you would ask someone how the hell does that guy even have a job here. I would say 4 out of 8 times you would hear the answer be "that is the owners son". This is what the Yeldon situation feels like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 This is not about not playing Yeldon this week. This is about making sure that they replace Moss and get the guy through the COVID protocols in the event they beat Baltimore and advance. If they don't add a running back this week and lose another guy on Saturday, they'll be in trouble. Beane is doing exactly what needs to be done. Too bad the JESTS haven't released Frank Gore...lol.

T master Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 That's great but what exactly is the obsession with these small backs ? He is 5'8" 209 . Dang just call up Beast mode then he could end it where he started just come full circle . Or call Pat Dimarco back up he knows the offense and he's a bigger dude to Singletary shows that if given more than a couple of runs per quarter and when allowed to get in a rhythm he can get it done . I do not like the RB by comity thing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Obviously this staff think we are going to the SB and need more depth. Whatever with Freeman, I hope he can produce if called upon. I truly love the optimism by this FO and coaching staff though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 All this tells me is we will probably put Moss on IR and sign Williams to the 53. So Williams will be Moss replacement and Freeman will be Williams replacement 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a minutia to the game that you don’t necessarily want a young back figuring out in the playoffs. Where to line up, where to be when the QB needs an emergency outlet, what blitzer is his, when to cover the ball when you sense someone coming from behind. Williams has the value of knowing the playbook better, but freeman offers better knowledge base in general. He’s also likely just insurance as Stills is. Anybody know if he has to go through the 5 day window, if he’s coming right from another team? Edited January 12, 2021 by whatdrought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
