They were both drafted for being highest % in respective drafts for breaking tackles. Motor averaged over 5 yards carry rookie year. Bills didn’t run much and when they did the blocking wasn’t great. Moss showed some promise. I think they will be more impactful this year and part of that has to be OL improvement. If BB wasn’t satisfied they would have added more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Reminds me of Jason Croom, Ex WR but very raw blocker In today’s NFL, they don’t have to be a great blocker. Coaching when younger thought, that’s stupid, but I’ve come around to it. Kirwan from MTC has stated so many times meaning, splitting the TE out wide, blocking becomes obsolete. They spread out a defense, and his two examples were Shannon Sharp and Tony Gonzales. He has stated more times than I can count those guys not necessarily were bad blockers, but because if their athleticism and pass catching skills would line up outside thus forcing the defense to spread out and were a nightmare for opposing Safeties and LB’s. If this kid can catch like his highlight real and has a little speed to him, I’d love some TE camp bodies to see who can make it. One last thing., MAJ, thanks for trying to consolidate an UDFA file as I’d love to just keep coming back to it, and have one receptacle for these new additions. Very cool.

Beane has shown through his drafting that they feel the stable of RB's they have is good enough. Personally.....I think they are relying more on Moss then Devin this next year.......and dont forget Breida who is the total change up back......Moss is the hammer....Breida is the speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan, I really dont think they "allowed" themselves to be contacted to early....I am quite sure there was a defender that had a say in that. Let me expand on this further......when defenders are on OUR side of the line of scrimmage when a RB receives the ball......this is a BAD thing and generally not going to end well no matter how shifty they are. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much out there to be sure. If the Bills get to training camp and don't like what they have, maybe they can look for some training camp cuts at the end of August.

I'm starting to wonder whether its actually the BILLS who arent trying to sign any 1TDTs. Maybe they even went into the draft resigned to the fact that they werent getting anyone good, so they spent time preparing to go into the season with Star only. If so, then no need to waste a camp spot on a scrub 1TDT. And especially if they are tweaking the D such that they dont need one much. If so, better hope Star is up to it.
