RyanC883 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 the problem here is if Singletary gets hurt or worn down toward the end of the year. Once we have a lead, I have no problem getting Cook or Moss in more. Or even Duke Johnson, if he's on the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 A lot of the frustration is a product of our O line. -New scheme -New Coach -Injuries since training camp -Bates moved to right guard -Saffold showing very poorly on the All 22 reports -Either go interior O line in the 23 draft or see if this unit can gel & pick up the pieces.

He’s a good back. If we let him go next year and don’t upgrade what we have, we’ll be worse @ RB. I don’t think cook will ever be more than a really good pass catching back. As rusher…. Meh. Get Moss off my TV too. It’s not all his fault. He’s capable of playing well. He’s just got some bad juju or something. ☮️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but you asked "what else can he say" about Singletary and I'd say raving about him for 45 seconds out of a 6.5 minute post conference says a lot. Pretty sure it was the longest answer out of any of the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurelius Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) I agree Devin is an underrated back. I’d like to see Singletary get more carries and Cook become the clear number 2 back as well with increased load. Cook is clearly in our future but not sure Moss is. Utilizing both Singletary and Cook more in our offense would allow us to play them both in similar down situations and not get gamed as much defensively either. Could literally put out 2-back sets and run motion or have backs move to slot formation because both can catch. Time to flip this script up a bit.

I guess my question is what exactly about him sticks out the most that bothers you?

Can’t really pinpoint why I can’t stand him. Mainly because he was supposed to be a good goal line/short yardage type back. Yet, I’d rather us hand the ball to motor or cook in almost every situation. I backed him all preseason and was hoping that he would make strides like motor did in year 3. After 4 games, all I know is that i hope he gets zero carries each week. Just a hunch of hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the vitriol for cook, but we used a 2nd rd pick on the kid. We aren’t winning the SB in the regular season. I’d rather give him some reps than moss.

I prefer Cook in there so we can see what he has. Hopefully build some confidence. He brings something different to the table and could be a real weapon if he can remember how to catch the ball. i understand why some prefer Moss over cook. He’s probably the better rusher atm. I’m just not going to only judge cook on his first 4 games. I think there’s more and I want to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babulator Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Zach has an uncanny ability to find defenders and bounce off them... usually backwards. We wanted a bowling ball and got a pin ball. Devin reminds me of another great Bills back, not real big, strong or fast, but he's pretty elusive, catches the ball well out of the backfield, sets up his blocks well and picks up the blitz like a champ. I'm a fan. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Moss hater, but how has this been his "most promising season?" Outside of his one big run, he's averaging around 2.5 ypc. And his 7 catches have netted a total of 27 yards. That's the definition of stuck in quicksand, aka late career Frank Gore. I thought he flashed at times as a rookie back in 2020 (I'm one who gave him a pass for last season since he was coming off injury), but he just looks bigger and slower to me now than he was back in college and in 2020. Having said all that, I'm still okay with him receiving reps over Cook based on what we've seen from Cook so far. I at least trust Moss not to make negative plays.

He's downfield picking guys up, he's doing everything right in practice. He's running 50-60 yards, getting in the end zone and coming right back and running another play. “The dude, all he knows is work and that's why his name is ‘Motor’ and he lives up to the name. I can go on and on about what's type of person he is. I freaking love the kid.” Motor is 2nd on the team in receptions. He's a huge part of the team's success on offense..."consistent running game" be damned. We have a running game. It just often starts with a short pass to open things up. It is effective, but I really wish they would stop taking Singletary out as often as they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
