Yea, hopefully Moss gets on the Singletary off-season routine and comes in looking ready to go. Hopefully this will allow Beane to take a smaller quick back in the later rounds.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I like it. he will have a role on offense here. Still doesn't have that break away speed, but I guess he is a cheaper McKissic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 That will work. Good out of backfield. And also good at blitz pickup. This will work. so now just need one CB and a WR and head to draft. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 As a backup running back I think he is fine. Has tools to be a pass catching back. Unable to carve a role on 3 different teams makes me skeptical. I think its on par with Yeldon and Brieda. Fills a hole and thats about it. Will battle with a rookie for the spot imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely had a role in Cleveland. They just had Hunt and Chubb to play instead…and he certainly was not playing over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Seems more like a camp body, won't be surprised if we draft a RB again this year somewhere in rounds 4-7. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 A value signing. This is how Beane operates. Fill holes as best as he's able in free agency. That frees up the team to take playmakers in the draft when he has the opportunity. The Bills are up against the cap, so I don't expect any big salary signings from here on out. They still have holes, primarily a complement to Tre White at CB. If Beane can sign someone who can at least compete for a starting job, he will, but it's got to be at a value price. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milanos Milano Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Meh, a receiving back who can’t run anymore. Which means if he’s in on 3rd down, teams basically know what we are doing.

Logic Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I know Duke Johnson doesn't have the same "panache" as JD McKissic, but... As I pointed out in the charts above, he has higher career yards per reception and yards per target and more career production than McKissic, and they are the same age. I'm not here to tell you that Johnson is some great signing or that he is a roster lock. He's probably a vet minimum signing. I'm just trying to say that the difference in excitement levels on this board between McKissic and Johnson is a little bit funny, and points to recency bias. They're the same guy 🤷♂️ 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s literally everything Breece Hall can do. Our RB talent evaluation sucks. You're just on a one-man crusade this year for Breece Hall. Anything the Bills do that negatively impacts their chances of drafting him -- and let's be honest, with holes at CB, WR, and OL, all of which are more important positions than RB, it's not likely that they draft him ANYWAY -- causes you to jump into the thread and make dramatic pronouncements like "if they don't want to win a Super Bowl, it's their prerogative". One of the more dedicated, relentless, humorous draft campaigns I've seen on this forum over the years. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will always be one dimensional until we get that guy. Otherwise we are just going to get Allen hurt at some point. Just now, JGMcD2 said: Because drafting a RB in RD1 is a waste of a pick and we won’t be in position to take him in RD2. I bet the Steelers don’t consider Najee Harris a wasted pick. Or many of the other top RBs to go high end over the years. If we had a Jonathan Taylor type of RB, we are unstoppable. It’s the missing key.
