If we are investing in a RB like Hall high, it better mean Josh can reduce some of the red zone rushing beating he has taken. But watching him play, I am not surprised of the stats Marino posted.

Magox Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 After watching all those additional highlights, I think it’s clear to say that Bryce is a home run runner who can take it to the house, has phenomenal vision, great balance, awesome 1v1 moves, has a nose for the end zone, is an effortless runner and has great hands. He definitely would be a clear upgrade over what we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the never running back crowd. I would argue a running back at 25 is not the same as a running at 5. Trading down to 33 and now the pick makes sense? If the Bills think he is an impact player why not? In a draft lacking impact player, finding one regardless of position makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect analogies. I’ll be excited if Hall is the pick. Watching great RBs is a treat for my eyes. Prior to the 2007 draft, I watched Peterson and Lynch highlights any free chance I had. I was way worse than @IronMaidenBillsand @Solomon Grundy. I wanted to trade up for Peterson in the worst way, as I thought Peterson was the best rb I had ever seen. I still feel that way. Peterson, at his best, was better than anyone. Jmo. Lynch was a treat as well. The way he worked his inside out juke was out of control. The contact he made on almost every would be tackler was satisfying. Then watching Fred Jackson highlights became my favorite past time. The way he maximized every run was a work of art. Nothing more exciting to me in football than a Rb making a few guys miss then taking it to the house. Which is why I prefer Walker to hall. Hall is pretty good at making the first guy miss. Walker is excellent at making everyone miss. He’s always thinking two moves ahead. His hips are much looser than Halls are which allows him more lateral movement when he puts his foot in the ground. I’d rather watch Walker than Hall. But I feel Hall will be a great back if selected to the right team. Ps- Breece hall is no Adrian Peterson. Different realms of greatness.

I understand what you are saying -- and if a really good CB that fits the scheme is still on the board when they pick at 25, then I suspect that is the direction they would go.

I wouldn’t even mind trading for an elite RB. I’m just tired of watching teams play 2 high safeties all the time with no teams afraid of Singletary. Singletary is a good RB (good ypa), but teams still aren’t afraid of him. Teams are afraid of Henry, teams are afraid of Taylor, etc. When you have teams playing 8 in the box most of the game, that shows you where their fear lies. I want to punish teams from keeping the house back on Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
