How many roster spots do you think we have for any rookies past the 4th round? Trade all of those picks and get to like 15-20 and get a CB2! This is comical. Hall is definitely better than CEH. In just about every way, shape, form. but the funny thing is, the year they had CEH healthy and actually contributing, they won a SB.

Breece didn't have those luxuries the duration of his time in Ames and still produced. CEH was doing well before his injury at KC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure they won the SuperBowl in 2019 with a UDFA - Williams as their leading rusher. They tried to upgrade that in the 2020 draft with CEH and although he lead the team in rushing - they lost. The next year he again missed time and they didn’t make the Super Bowl. They have taken steps back each year after drafting him. I think the wrench is in your argument. The best the Chiefs have played is with a UDFA as their primary back.

Well, you kinda made me look foolish but at the same time proved a point. In the Super Bowl the Chiefs won, they had Williams who rushed for over a hundred yards. A TD, a 6.1 yard average. Caught 4 passes for another 29 yards and another TD. All whine Mahomes only threw for a very low total (for him) of 286 yards. so your point about CEH is true. However it emphasizes the importance of a good RB that can be counted on in your offense. when they lost to the Buccs, CEH was limited to 64 yards. So the fact must be there that having a 100 yard RB is incredibly important to winning a SB. In that argument, Singletary will never get us there because he had like 2 his entire career.

stinky finger Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 1 hour ago, SoMAn said: Not sure if it's been brought up here, but other than being a talented back who can run and catch, is Hall a culture fit for the Buffalo Bills? I get the impression from the way the Bills have operated under Beane that building team chemistry and having the right personalities is just as important as raw talent. I don't know anything about Hall. Have never seen/heard an interview or anything to give me a sense of who he is as a person. When I think historically notorious offenses I think of 'triplets'. Smith, Aikman, Irvin. Thomas, Kelly, Reed. Rice, Montana, Craig. Bradshaw, Harris, Swan etc. I see Singletary as more of what Kenny Davis was to Thurman. A serviceable and dependable backup who can spell the feature guy. Could Hall become the third triplet to round out the offense? It’s a different era. Though a good thought. I’m not sure that “trio” is required today. That 3rd piece is more likely to be another high end WR or stud TE. (and I’d replace swan with stallworth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually nope - I think you are wrong again. First the rushing was done by a UDFA - a guy you can pick up anywhere - so no sense wasting a high pick. Second the game was very even and low scoring early and the Chiefs did run the ball a bunch with limited success to the tune of falling behind 20 - 10. Then guess what - they went almost exclusively to a passing attack and scored 3 4th quarter TDs - when the 49ers knew they were going to pass. The run game of KC did nothing to help them win and actually put them into a huge hole as Mahomes struggled to get into any rhythm. Once they got away from trying to run the ball. And focused on nearly 100% passing - they had 2 great drives to put themselves on top. The last TD was a nearly 40 yard run by the UDFA Williams as SF crowded the line to keep them out of FG range after a turn over on downs. Prior to that he had 60 yards rushing and 29 yards receiving with a rushing average of 4 YPC. I really don’t think that does much to prove your point about RB. He was less helpful and had a lower YPC and yards per reception than Singletary. If anything it proves we should wait because if Williams was good enough for KC to win - Singletary is significantly better and more than good enough to win.

RAS+2 years of elite college production+ 40 times are all matches. Only so many rushers hit that trifecta. There are other metrics I used, and they all point to at least 3 years of 1,000 yards or more in the NFL if he remains healthy. It’s a 80%+ probability. At 25 that’s a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen the line play in each of the last 3 years with Singletary as well. He doesn’t have it. He’s not any better than average. He’s exactly the kind of player you get at the position when you draft one in round 3 every year. At some point we need to stop spinning the wheels and just get a good one. oh, and they aren’t drafting an OL in the first round anyway because they have done too much this off-season to justify it. They are going into the season with what we have at OL regardless how many people think we’re taking one. Unless someone slides way down the boards and we pick them up in mid/late rounds that shouldn’t be there anyway. 38 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said: Actually nope - I think you are wrong again.

So what your saying is the RB had the ability to score from just about anywhere in the field and ripped off a 40 yard TD to make it 2 for him that day and you say he had nothing to do with winning the game? got it.

Paul Costa Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Bryce Hall’s highlights are upper echelon. But the micro shows an average RB between the tackles.

Realist Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 If RB is such an easy position to fill, why are we even having this discussion. Singletary is nothing more than a good running back, I wouldn't even say very good. Why have we not been able to get better production out of the position. DS has had trouble winning the position from Moss, we need more talent at the position. I would not be disappointed if we took Hall. It will either be a CB or Hall, more and more pundits believe it will be Hall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
