Punching Bag Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Good for him. He is a FA and will give him a chance to get a job in free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He did look good. It is obvious he can catch the ball like a receiver. I was trying to watch how he did at picking up pressure and I did not see any mistakes, he handled what he was supposed to. And he looks more than adequate as a runner. I know many have said it, but I can't figure out why he did not get more playing time this season. He will be playing for someone next year. He will never be a star, but I see him as a very productive 3rd down back--especially on a pass-happy team. Know any teams like that? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that makes a heap of sense for the Bills--get rid of what may be their best receiver at running back, and a good runner too, simply because Dabol, again, made a significant personnel mistake by almost never using what could be a high quality weapon. He had almost 500 yards receiving yards in his last year at Jacksonville, and very big for a running back, looks almost like tight end out there. He is 27 years old. I cannot imagine why the Bills would get rid of someone like this. And then watch what he could do on another team next year? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're already cap-strapped before we try to re-sign Milano, Daryl Williams and Feliciano, not to even mention Andre Roberts. I like Yeldon too, but it's not an easy or obvious decision.

Rc2catch Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He was paid nicely to basically practice here for two years. We kinda wasted two years of his prime. He probably has been packed and ready to leave for weeks. I’m sure he’ll be excited to test free agency and maybe find a better spot for playing time. Or maybe a coach who likes him 😂😂 I was excited when we signed him. Baffled we couldn’t play him over Gore. After drafting Moss felt kinda bad for him knowing he’d never play this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 For all the Moss is a beast, Yeldon is listed at a higher weight then the other two. He is a perfect third back, and McKenzie is the younger version of Lorax as Swiss knife. What I mean is he is a WR, returner when needed, CB like in game 17 2019, and with end arounds like a RB. Yeldon is a RB almost like a short yardage WR. I believe it was a mistake not to use him more. But, I’m not McD amd trust him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon looked good because our 1 and 2 looked bad. I still can’t believe singletary declined so much between year 1 when he looked like a breakout star with one question mark being durability to a JAG. His drop in the AFCCG will never be forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon has the longest neck of any RB in the league. That could come in handy in short yardage situations. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He also looked great when he ran straight into one of his teammates backs as he was blocking a db, that could’ve sprung him for an additional 10+ yards...if he would’ve just ran a yard to right or the left.....instead of into his teammates back. makes no sense other than he doesn’t have cutting ability to make the move. He played well. He was our best back sunday but not because he’s that good, but because Motor isn’t that good. He needed to have himself a game....and he failed and should now be gone. Sorry Lil man. I was a fan, but your time getting touches on this team should be up. Keep him in Yeldons spot as 3rd string. I doubt Yeldon comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried that our backs that played all year avg'd less than 4 ypc and can't catch a ball.. than a guy that was inactive all year and had >50 yards in the AFCCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like early 4th qtr Allen had to rush the missed TD throw to diggs because of pressure on yeldons side. Then almost got sacked the next play where he ran for big yardage. Might've been more but didnt check. He also got Allen sacked last week in his 1st or 2nd play in baltimore game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon will always be a mystery to me. Two years on the 53. Spot reserve duty only... my only guess is he can’t figure out pass pro maybe? As a pass catcher and runner he’s Looked better than Devin this season in limited action.

Don Otreply Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I have been frustrated with some of the personnel choices on both sides of the ball on occasion, it’s as if the association with certain players is more important than performance in some instances, frustrating for us fans for sure. The Yeldon usage is a case in point. Go Bills!!! Edited January 26, 2021 by Don Otreply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) When a RB who spent the entire season on the practice team outperforms your starting RB...you might need a new starter. Singletary should be the one buried on the practice team. Edited January 26, 2021 by Azucho98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 What was the purpose of signing him. Yes for depth. Should have been used properly. Along with Kroft as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I have been saying for most of the year that he is the best running back on the team. Now that isn't saying much as singletary is underwhelming and Moss has been "Ok" this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He was the best back but that’s not saying much. Only somewhat negative thing about this team is the rb situation. After spending 2 3rds on them in back to back years, we should have more production out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He did and they should have road him a bit more . Before the game i read where the Raiders beat them by the Chiefs not covering well in the short middle of the field and it didn't look as if they were attacking that very much but we can all second guess it now . They will watch the tape and learn from it can't wait o see what Beane brings in next year you know it will be good !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreboding Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon was easily better then Singletary out there. He rarely gets tackled for a 1 yard gain, which seems to be Singletary's go to play. No idea why he wasn't used this year. So much bigger than our tiny little fellas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon is a mystery for sure. Never understood why Jax didn't give him more of an opportunity after his first year either. He looks pretty good when given an opportunity. There must be something there (personally???) that is turning off the coaches. Moss was starting to show some things down the stretch before his injury and had basically eclipsed Singletary. He may surprise us next year with a season under his belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags24 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeldon was better than Singletary and Moss, in his limited action. So I'm not surprised he played well in the KC game. TJ also ran really well in the Tennessee game when Singletary struggled badly. I was disappointed when he didn't get a shot at starting RB from that TN showing. My guess is that they wanted Singletary in there more for his blocking, which was consistently good during the reg season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
