I guess you can’t discount his experience, but I’d rather roll with the younger guy in Williams. But I know there’s no guarantee Freeman ever sees the active roster. Insurance policy with the expectation that we are going deeper in the playoffs. We don't want to be short of RBs right before the Superbowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 This doesn't mean they're playing him. What happens if another RB goes down? You gotta have someone on the roster so you don't have to wait on covid protocols. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Jones is listed as a back, but is special teams not offense. As said above. Elevate Williams, Freeman fills that PS slot. Im curious to see who get gets activated. I assume Yeldon gets some play. For how Baltimore plays I think Yeldon could actually have an impact. They are pretty good at Cb. Yeldon on a lb could be a matchup to take advatange of. Whether its vs Zone or man. Is it Saturday yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ! DiMarco cannot do anything. He had a grand total of 6 carries in 3 years for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) The handling of yeldon is really really odd. If they don't want him playing under any circumstance, why is he on the team? At this point I'm rooting for him to get released after this year so he can go somewhere we he actually has a chance to play. Or who knows, maybe he's happy coasting and collecting a paycheck. We haven't heard anything about him requesting to be released. Edited January 12, 2021 by Process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this has anything to do with not wanting to play yeldon Think it has a lot more to do with having capable depth in place learning the play book and system Imagine singletary going down and the bills still winning Saturday - afc Championship game with yeldon and Williams or yeldon williams and Freeman? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, we don't know that they won't use Williams or Yeldon. However, if they choose to go with Freeman, then I trust the coaching staff to do what gives the team the best chance to be successful.

Depth and experience. Freeman was on Atlanta for superbowl run and played well both receiving and running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Seems to be basically an easy way to try him out as a replacement for Yeldon,whilst giving yourself cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too small of a sample size to know whether he’s the best option . It’s not to say he won’t play but that’s all we have seen from him whereas the coaches have a lot more info. I suspect it will be whoever practices most effectively this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is basically what Tasker and Brownie said. I think it has to depend on the game plan as well. If we are planning the screen game, maybe Yeldin...if we want to pop and need a guy for short yardage, id go williams. I honestly did not evaluate Williams blocking.... I dont think Freeman will be ready. Id probably lean williams, because Singletary and Taiwan can do the other stuff. Your right about the sample size...but i cant get over what I saw, call it a hunch. Edited January 13, 2021 by RichRiderBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think it will be Yeldon for his pass catching and blitz pick-up experience. I don’t think Williams has enough experience for them to trust him to pick up a stunting blitzer while Josh waits for routes to develop I can easily see them using Yeldon to chip then slip into the flat or for the screen game which will be instrumental in slowing down the Ravens blitz/rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I just saw that the Steelers waived Tremaine Edmumds' brother, Trey, who is a RB. I wonder if we will add him to the practice squad just to have him around for his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
