Agreed - Whoever wins the job in camp will get the job. But my guess is that it will still be RB by committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Prefer neither - I think they should utilize them as needed as part of the game plan for the week. I like both Moss and Singletary and prefer to have Moss going against heavy blitz teams to pick up attackers - want Singletary against teams that play off more - I think even with his struggles he is better than Moss on pass routes. As far as running either is fine - both have strengths and weaknesses depending upon blocking scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I voted Singletary. It's close. I've been rewatching the whole 2020 season and Singletary stands out more. Gonna be a good camp battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don't know who "should" win it, but the RB1 will be a competition that will come down to likely 3 players. Would like to see A.Williams bring the heat in camp and preseason and get himself in the mix of it. But likely be Motor, Moss, or Breida. With that said I don't think there will be much difference between rb1 and rb2, anyways because they will likely be rotating much of the time imo. Anyways, hopefully see all RBs make a difference.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Zack Moss may have more athletic upside, but Singletary is great in pass-protection and that fact will probably give him the majority of the snaps in the regular season. I think we have a really good three-headed monster in the backfield with the addition of Breida. I think DaBoll will make some tweaks to our run scheme to give our offense better balance.

BuffBillsForLife Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Neither of them. But between the two I would go with Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will likely see the majority of snaps this year. Bills moved to a more zone scheme last year before he got hurt and Moss was very effective. Singletary is better suited for a power scheme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I legit think it is a camp battle. As of now I would slightly prefer Moss. Not high on either of them. But Moss had limited oppertunities last year cause the injury, so I would like to see him a few more touches over devin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I feel like Moss/Breida is a legit 1-2 punch, with two guys who present very different running styles. Not the greatest duo in the league by any means, but effective enough to put up numbers in this offense. Singletary… I honestly don’t know what to make of him. Impressive as a rookie and really underwhelming last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costrovs Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Moss by far. Moss IS the better pass blocker. https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-should-zero-rb-faithful-buy-into-zack-moss "The pass protection point turned out to be spot on: Moss graded out as PFF’s sixth-highest-graded pass blocker among 47 qualified backs." https://twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1357886737394065409 PFF, I know... but go back and watch the games, it's not even close. Moss is the better pass catcher too. He's more physical and hits harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did very well pass blocking. Was very reliable with it. Yeah Moss was still fresh and new. Think he will do well also this season with pass protection.

I voted for Moss to punish Singletary for that drop against the Chiefs but the allotment of playing time will be influenced by Daboll's game plan each week. Also, it's sometimes just a matter of riding the hot hand. Regardless, I don't expect either to get above 65% of the RB carries.

artmalibu Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think it will be more of a RB by committee deal this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Of the two Moss. But they have to be running back by committee and use the two of them plus Breida wisely over the course of the year. The question is can they find a way to have all 3 active on gameday? Their general approach last year was Singletary and Moss plus Taiwan Jones as starting gunner and emergency 3rd back.

Nelius Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think you got to give Singletary the lion's share until he fails. The general sense seems to be that he's just not the guy, and that may be so, but he's averaged 4.8 ypc in his career, great pass blocking, is tough as nails, etc. It's very possible that he's pretty good but just hasn't had the chance to really put up gaudy stats consistently yet. He only saw 10-15 touches most games last year, I love Moss's potential, but I think you need to squeeze Devin for all he's got this year. If he's mediocre this season then move on, maybe even pivot more to Moss a handful of games in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once teams got film on his dancing behind the line he has not really been that effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right, although he did see some random decent ypc spikes last year and still finished with 4.4. I mean 4.4 ypc is Ezekiel Elliott for the past 3 years! Jokes aside, Singletary's kind of a weird back, going through his game log is kind of like 1 step forward, 1 or .75 steps back, repeatedly for 2 years now. It's enough to be skeptical, granted, but also enough to just throw him to the wolves in year 3 and see what happens, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Motor showed some beautiful things his rookie year. I'm expecting to see way more of that. When the kid can get through his initial blocks, he's very exciting to watch. Motorin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Since we seem to run by committee, the question I have is who will be the 1-2 punch. Singletary, Moss, Breida? I definitely want to see more from A. Williams. Let them duke it out in camp. I don’t have preconceived notions, as no one lit it up except for a handful of plays out of Williams.

Victory Formation Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 One could argue that RB is the Achilles heel of our offense depending on how you feel about Knox and the TE position. Neither Singletary nor Moss are guys I’d pay big money to. Sure, they’re serviceable, adequate and decent but they’re not elite talents. I do like Singletary’s running style though and Moss runs hard but Buffalo could benefit from upgrading the RB position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I will say moss looked a little leaner entering building yesterday. I like the way he runs and maybe carrying a little less weight will increase his quickness. Think moss is our guy this year. 1 hour ago, Victory Formation said: One could argue that RB is the Achilles heel of our offense depending on how you feel about Knox and the TE position.

With Josh I would never pay big dollars to a RB. 3rd or 4th rounders every 2 years and hope they stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
