Helpmenow Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Do they have the right offensive linemen as well for the run game? 65, 60 not sure there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbomb Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Teams don’t even account for it and still stop it for 2 yards every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWK Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Singletary is a RB3. We need a serious upgrade at RB so we can actually have a diverse offense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they don't throw flags in the playoffs except for on that horrible flop at the end of the packers game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only saying its worth keeping him around on the cheap to see if the tank can get refilled as an option. Even as RB#3 he may be able to contribute more than Devin. Competition is healthy and let the best RB's win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so low because combine demonstrate they have no burst and speed . And now we see it in games Tell Alvin Kamara that. You can add James Connor, Kenyan Drake, Kareem Hunt (and David Johnson pre-injury) into that conversation too. I'd take any one of them. We just didn't hit on our 3rd rounders. Maybe Moss will develop. Devin definitely regressed. It's not that it can't happen, it just didn't happen for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetkings01 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Check my post history....every thread where people say we need a dynamic TE I always say we need a homerun threat at the RB spot. In this offense a dynamic TE doesn't do much for us since we're so WR heavy. An explosive RB would help this offense out so much, we have no homerun threat coming out of the backfield. We can stay pass happy, but we need a RB that can take those screen passes 40-50 yards to the house, take a perfectly blocked run play 50 yards to the house.......we have none of that with Singletary and Moss. Me personally I'd rather keep Moss and compliment him with a homerun threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaal Charles, Curtis Martin, Frank gore. there are gems to be found in every round for every position. I agree, the thought that we can’t find a very good rb in rd 3 is a terrible take. we may have not hit on one yet, but if there’s a rb talent there that we like in the future, I expect us to take him. that said, we need an upgrade at RB. Preferably adding one with speed to pair with Moss. Motor as the Yeldon/inactive rb makes sense to me..... or cut him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake ran a fast 40, but play speed he doesn't seem fast. I'm not sure its all on the backs, or their speed. There just isn't any juice to the running game. We play like 80 percent of the game from shotgun for pass protection, and then when we go from under center we run the ball on like 75% of the snaps - not really very deceptive there. Also, the team isn't very good at run blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a new feature back next season with some speed We need to stop drafting 5-7 slow rbs. Singletary is useless. Moss is decent but not great. We need more speed at RB and someone needs to teach our OL how to run block. This is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 11 hours ago, I am the egg man said: NFL playoff games show team weaknesses. The Bills were exposed. It's fair to suggest we were outclassed on both sides of the ball. KC was able to handle us the way we handled the LA Chargers earlier in the year. The gap between teams is still pretty big IMO. But it's nice to know the team that did us in is maybe the best team in football and probably about to be a Super Bowl winning Dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Here’s the thing, I don’t want us running more. I just want us to run better when we do. Moss and Singletary are slow and have little big play ability. We have an MVP caliber QB who led one of the best offenses in the league to 13 wins. The last thing I want to do is take the ball out of his hands to run the ball more. We are a passing offense now. If you’re telling me we need to draft a RB high then I’m not thrilled with the idea. I’d rather draft lineman high and look for a speedy back in the mid to late rounds. One of the big issues we have is we don’t have anyone that can pressure the QB consistently. Hughes and Addison are becoming fossils and Epenesa doesn’t look like he has that kind of burst to be a consistent disrupter. We desperately need someone who can create pressure and we need another playmaker on offense, preferably a pass catcher Edited January 25, 2021 by Bangarang 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm surprised that Singletary regressed so much. He had some nice moves and made plays his rookie season. We absolutely MUST get a good running game next season. Our offense is too 1 dimensional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Beane totally understands that the Bills are inadequate at RB, that's why when the Jets released Bell he tried to sign him but lost out to KC (where he was injured & out yesterday). While there are other positions of need, the Bills need to spend their #1 pick (30th) on a RB, just like KC did last year with pick 32. After the game I declared Singletary is the Terry Miller of the 21st century-best season as a rookie & then fades away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drop to me was the end of his time with the Bills, he is not good enough as a runner to be dropping wide open passes. Had open field in front of him and if he made those plays that KC was conceding it would have opened up single coverage on WR'S downfield. They basically gave us that because they were not concerned of any of our RB'S breaking a big play. So if we want to beat KC, you beat them at their own game and start adding speed at skilled positions like RB & TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iverwig Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 While we do need a stronger running game that’s not the reason they lost yesterday. The Chiefs did whatever they wanted on offense and the Bills offense is no on par with theirs with or without a running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrtonHearsaWho Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I really don't get how so few commenters put so much of the blame on the backs and so little on the offensive line/scheme. I get that it's frustrating watching Motor consistently getting stuffed at the line of scrimmage but is that really because he's slow, lacks burst & isn't a home run hitter? Motor and Moss were both at the bottom of the league in yards before contact but Motor was near the top in yards after contact and Moss was middle of the pack. Maybe a bit more speed means they could hit the hole faster but I really think the issue is that the holes weren't there in the first place either because the line simply doesn't run block well or the scheme doesn't create holes. I do think that getting a back is a good idea but I think drafting one in the first or second round would be a mistake especially if it means trading up to get one. 17 minutes ago, Bangarang said: Here’s the thing, I don’t want us running more.

Forget RB in round one but if somehow Kyle Pitts manages to slip to the middle of the first round or even to the 20s, you absolutely have to consider trading up to get him. I believe that he could end up being the same type of generational talent that Kelce is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Our O-line is a bad run blocking unit, there are never any holes. Add in slow and small RBs who are not dynamic in any way and this is the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
