Get him the ball in space and let him do the rest. 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I thought the knock on Breida was that he couldn't run up the gut I saw clips of him running effectively up the gut. I think they'll have to do it so as not to make him one-dimensional by always running outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one respects moss or Singletary on passing cuz they are terribly slow. Let's see what brieda does with a few dump offs, that part of our offense can't get worse with brieda. And if he is terrible, who cares its 1 game, cut him move on. Why is there so much rampant exaggeration here. It's not necessary, and it distorts. They're not "terribly slow," they just aren't. Moss and Singletary will never be mistaken for breakaway threats, but they have plenty enough speed to be effective in the NFL, in both running and passing. Most of the problems with our dumpoff passes is that Josh doesn't like doing that and so throws few of them. When he does use them, they've been effective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Maybe not, Moss cleared protocols so that means the Bills will start funneling touches to him again, and give him all Red Zone work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I will give you. He has also had a multitude of lower body injuries since then. Also, because of his perceived "speed" everyone wants to throw him the ball. This is a guy with less than 30 receptions combined on the last 3 years. He has a single season high of 27 catches. This isn't a receiving back. He looked pretty fast today, a lot faster than Singletary. Not saying a better back, just faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he needs to earn his way into a starting position. That fumble today was preventable by him, and luckily it had no real negative impact in this game. But he did have a spark that we have been missing in the running game. He just seems to be able to make people miss more than Moss and Singletary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Bills coaching staff reads TSW! Or maybe they watch the film and see the same things we do. - get Breida involved! As in 2 TDs involved!! (We'll excuse the garbage time fumble) - use a FB/heavy set every now and then! (that was my particular piece of advice). I saw Gilliam out there more than in any prior game, even in an old-fashioned I formation that actually worked. - get Diggs the damn ball! As in "get the ball near him and he will make good things happen" as we saw today. - mix it up, play Allen under center and pass from that formation every now and then! And the play action helped the line against the pass rush, particularly as the game went on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I was wrong, and am very happy about it. I didn't necessarily think old Breida was bad, I just didn't think there was any guarantee he was still elusive after nearly a couple of years on the bench. Well, he looked very shifty and quick, on that TD run especially. Hope he's not totally in the dog house and we see some more of him.

HappyDays Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The debate is over, Breida needs to be active every week. He scored 2 TDs from within the red zone tonight, and red zone offense has been our weak link all year long. Neither of those TDs would have been scored by Singletary or Moss. They wouldn't have gotten open in time on the TD pass. They wouldn't have accelerated to the end zone that quickly on the TD run. Take those 2 TDs off the board and consider how much we've struggled in the red zone this year, who knows how those drives finish? Breida creates explosive plays in the red zone. Zero reason he should ever be inactive again. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the I formation .... with a fullback leading the way (although Gilliam didn't really need to block anyone; more like the old term "running interference"). What are these new inventions like "I formations"? Old school can be new school too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
