It's mathematically, scientifically, and pretty much physically impossible. I had just added the signing to the one we already had for Freeman’s visit Edited January 13 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's the best option. Yeldon is useless in the run game we need a guy who can get the tough yards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand the love for inserting a player in his second NFL appearance into a high pressure playoff game that will be won and lost by who makes the most mistakes. You make a good point, but for some reason, the coaching staff likes to keep Yeldon on the shelf. I am really interested in seeing what Singletary can do with the majority of rush attempts. 12 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: 1 of only 2 reasons I can think of. 1.) He sold the tip to someone else 2.) Nap. -which seems impossible, given his ‘Open al Night’ status.. Yolo was distraught over his beloved Buckeyes. He was off his game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where are people coming up with this lol? In Yeldon's short career with the bills, he averages 4.9 yards per attempt and 10.4 yards per recption. 6.8 yards per touch. Can we kill this 'Yeldon sucks' nonsense now please? No offense to you Penfield, I think you probably are just going by what you read here. 27 rushes, 127 yards. 14 receptions, 146 yards receiving. 2 fumbles (obviously not great), and 1 TD.

He seems to be really bad at running through contact, and it seems like a stiff breeze will knock him down. I would be curious to see his “yards after contact” stats, but not sure he has had enough carries for anyone to keep those. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's crazy. I agree. The sample size isn’t enough. For everyone— “pro” or “anti” Yeldon— no one knows for sure what he can bring to the table if given extended playing time. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken Boo 1,117 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Going to be funny when Yeldon goes out there and outperforms what we've seen from both Singletary and Moss this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BornAgainBillsFan 205 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The Freeman signing has all the markings of improving next year's running game. Introduce him to a positive, winning culture, hopefully making him hungry to be a part of it (while the Bills steam roll to the Super Bowl!). Get him into our state of the art facilities, to get him healthy and in shape. In other words, get his mind and body right by August, and Devonta is on his way to being Comeback Player of the Year in 2021. I'd be stunned if they tried playing him in the next few weeks.

Optimistic I like it. Freeman looks shot to me. Slow and broken. Hopefully you are right and I am wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
