Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 He is Yeldon's immediate replacement but will battle for Singletary's touches. It was obvious by mid-season that Moss was the #1 back. They probably like his physicality. I'm fine with this group at RB. I had Harris in my draft plans but now I want a NT, an edge, a CB, a true center and a TE. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moss and Breida both had less than 100 receiving yards for the whole 2020 season. I mean maybe they weren't really given the opportunity, but the stats aren't very impressive.

BillsFan619 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 6 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: I don’t think many people will agree but he’s Yeldons replacement imo. Still gonna be Moss, Singletary and Taiwan active on gamedays. He will need an injury to get a chance, and he’ll have to do well to stay in the rotation after. It’s a great signing though Since we need his speed, what makes you think he’s only Yeldon’s replacement? Yeldon was barely active and we need Breida’s speed out there.

billsbackto81 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 He's fast and runs hard which is probably the reason his injury history is what it is. But when healthy he's the homerun hitter we need. He should be excellent in rotation with Moss. I think Singletary may be done for. Shame cause I like the kid and he's shown flashes but has faltered in key situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Harris in my draft plans but now I want a NT, an edge, a CB, a true center and a TE. I'd still take Harris or Williams if there potentially at 30. Or, most likely, a team that really wants one of those guys would be willing to trade with us. I think we still need upgrades at OG, DT, and DE and TE. I'd go in that order in the draft because they seem to have the most instant impact. I'd even swap 1st and trade 2nd and 5th for ability to grab Pitts.

Aside from a very talented DE (who admittedly may need seasoning) there's nothing on D right now they need in the 1st round. Drafts aren't for this year when you're this low in the 1st round and I wish people would stop looking at rookies as the solution to team needs. You can now shade more toward BPA than need. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really puzzling he never got playing time. I didn't trust him to not fumble the ball.........but he should have gotten more chances. Breida on the other hand is a guy who can legitimately hit 22mph in the open field..........which puts him up there with anyone aside from Mostert. RB's are still a at least a half dozen for a dime........but good pickup by Beane. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did keep three guys on the roster but whats his face was inactive almost every game... Well, Moss is still the closest thing we have to a power back. I'd also say he had a slightly better season than Singletary. I would guess this bodes the worst for Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I was confused at how little playing time he got in Miami. I expected him to be their lead back. Let's hope we use him more in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) 25 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Is he just a Yeldon replacement? Or legit competition for Singletary and Moss? Hopefully the latter. We need speed on the field. Think one of the issues is roster slots on game day. If McKenzie is going to be the return guy, that potentially frees up an extra roster spot that they could keep three RB's active on Sundays. Similar this new TE they signed, sounds like he provides everything Gilliam, Smith, and Kroft gave the Bills, so that also could free up one more slot on Sundays. 7 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Ill still never understand the hate for Yeldon.... wasn't great but he was probably the best receiver out of the backfield on the roster and had some speed. Really puzzling he never got playing time. Again was about roster slots on Sundays, wasn't an easy way to may three slots for RB's available without McD feeling they were short changing another position.

Breida is a camp body the way I see it and he'll compete. It would be very hard for them to pass up somebody like that at 30. He could be replacing Singletary for all we know.

Thing is, those highlights are from the actual NFL, not from college, where his sort of speed could look ridiculous.

Yeldon was barely active and we need Breida’s speed out there. Why didn’t Miami need his speed? He couldn’t crack their roster and was a healthy inactive most of the season despite them having barely no talent at running back and they were hurting for playmakers to catch the ball. Speed is great, but not if you can’t be effective. Breida is tricky because everyone in San Fran looks like an all pro. I am a little sketchy of a guy who couldn’t beat out Myles Gaskin, Ahmed whatever his name was, Patrick Laird.. Not a good look if you’re sitting behind those guys. He has upside of course and his speed is elite, but he’s got his work cut out for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Know this is a popular move, but it doesn't move the needle much for me. Decent player who adds speed to the roster, but I also can see him as a guy who is deactivated on game days. Good level two free agent who could add to the team but its a crowded room especially with Jones on the roster for special teams. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked Yeldons catching abilities for what good it did us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
