Doc Brown Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 6 hours ago, Virgil said: I don't think it's an over-reaction. Barkley has shown flashes of being a short term capable starter. The theme of my entire post was that Beane is probably looking for guys we can keep for depth that are cheaper options than others. Barkley is cheaper than Keenum. If Barkley proves he can get the job done for a few games is someone (I won't say it) gets injured, then that cap savings could help us. I think it’s an overreaction because Barkley’s so limited when it comes to arm strength and mobility. Keenum at least has average arm strength and a LOT more experience and success as a starter in this league. Also keep in mind that Keenum was playing most of their starters with our backups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 1 hour ago, 947 said: Cook knocked an Indy LB 2-3 yards backwards on one of his runs down around the 10-yd line. I was surprised to see him run that hard, he could be more than a scat back. Youre talking about prolonged abuse on a smaller frame. I didn’t say he couldn’t do it at all, I said how the staff probably envisions using him at this point. Could they change their minds sure, but I don’t believe they drafted him with the belief he would eventually be a bell cow running back. His brother is bigger and always hurt as it is.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 5 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: I don't think they really plan to ever see Cook elevate to a primary ball carrier. I think with his size, the plan is to have him as a guy who at most splits carries with a primary runner but is a regular receiving weapon out of the backfield with the hopes he can be a lot like Kamara and Ingram were for the Saints during their peaks. And people writing off Devin already now is premature. He isn't likely someone who is going to command a huge FA deal at RB, those deals are usually reserved for the top end of the position. Devin is more in line with a good to pretty good RB, but not among the leagues best. And if he wants to stay in Buffalo, its possible he gives them a home town discount still too. Moss certainly could bounce back this year and take over next year (or draft someone too), just saying I wouldn't just assume Devin is a goner no matter what at this point. I agree. But I am saying ideally Cook probably sees the most snaps in 2023 out of all the RB's. Not the most carries but just on the field the most. With half his touches being from targets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get his future chances. The Bills would be fools to vet this situation so quickly and they aren't fools. In the end I have to trust their judgments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 On 8/14/2022 at 7:16 PM, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: Credit to Moss for keeping a good head on his shoulders and coming into camp apparently better than ever after a disappointing sophomore year. He's the anti Karlos Williams. If he really is better than ever though it could complicate things quite a bit for the back field though. With the way the NFL is though you simply can not pay RB's anything more than the vet minimum. So that means bye bye Motor in 2023 and Moss fits into Motors role in 2023 while Cook hopefully becomes the leading back by snap count in 2023. The NFL evidently hasn't gotten your memo since there are currently 31 RB under contract with an AAV north of $2M, 2 more within 10% of that figure. Vet minimum for a player with 5 years experience is $1.065M for 2022. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/running-back/ 13 minutes ago, muppy said: wow I did not know this. It looks strikingly bigger than the usual helmet. I hope it works as intended. It's basically a padded shell that fits over the actual helmet, called a "Guardian Cap". https://nesn.com/2022/07/why-nfl-introduced-new-protective-headgear-during-training-camp/ It's supposed to reduce the impact of collisions by 20% if both players are wearing it. There was an interview last season with one of the Bills players about wearing it, might have been Dawkins? Anyway, whoever it was seemed to feel it made a noticeable difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
