Freak-O Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 This “story” really wasn’t a big deal. He helped some people with their luggage. Wow. It’s almost like I like him less because of this becoming “news”, although not his fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid even wears #28, just like CJ! Please god no. If he’s drafted in any round before the 4th I’ll $#?T a chicken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, run through an airport today with a bag/ briefcase in your hand and you have a A** Whooping and a Tasing coming for good measure 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Speed is nice for a RB. But if you don't have vision, good footwork, the ability to run between and outside the tackle box, reception ability, size, and strength - speed is only going to get you so far. We had speed in the backfield last season in Matt Breida. But the rest of his game was lacking. C.J. Spiller was a burner, but Fred Jackson kept him off the field by providing more in every other aspect. Even with speed lacking, you can see he is good in all of these other aspects. And he was able to crank off long runs without the speed. I'm not saying you take Spiller in Round 1 or 2. But if they choose to look elsewhere than RB in Round 1 or 2 (which is likely) - Isaiah Spiller in Round 3 or 4 isn't anywhere's near deserving of the vitriol this board is putting out.

No he will not be able to crank off long runs. Him being discussed anywhere before the fifth round is ridiculous. He would bring the same thing as Singletary but I doubt he could even do that.Singletary is a good back he could use some lightning to complement his thunder. All these backs look more explosive on tape and ran faster. James Cook 4.42 Tyler Goodson 4.42 Zamir White 4.40 Pierre Strong jr 4.37 Ty Chandler 4.38 There are more backs I just got tired of typing. Spiller really shouldn’t even be discussed for us this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 He will be taking the job offer at the airport in September. Why would he let his real talent not be compensated? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller really shouldn’t even be discussed for us this year. I said he HAS broken off some long runs. Quote According to Pro Football Focus, Spiller broke 56 tackles, averaged 3.56 yards after first contact and created 18 carries of 15 or more yards during the 2021 season. He also didn’t have a drop on 33 targets. Funny thing is, I spent the entire post saying speed isn't the be all end all to RB. You can have all the speed in the world, but if you can't do the other things Spiller can - it doesn't matter. Then you go off on the speed of all the other backs 😄 I see Spiller as a better runner and more technically sound than a lot of those guys you mentioned. Again, I'm not saying Round 1 or 2. But Round 5 at the earliest? That's way too harsh. There's a lot of RB's who are good backs that don't have speed. There's a lot of RB's who have speed that aren't good backs bc they aren't technically sound.

But Round 5 at the earliest? That's way too harsh. He grades out at about a fifth round athlete and running back is already a devalued position. so no, fifth round is not being harsh. A lot of broken tackles that was Singletary coming out of the draft. I like Singletary more than most on this board. But we need a running back they create a mismatch in the passing game and can take a outside run to the house. That’s why we tried to sign J.D McKissic.
