Buffalo Ballin Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) We're going to stick with our current RB core. There will be no trades. We need those picks for OL and Defense. We don't have enough money to chase RB Saquon Barkley during the Summer because we have to sign WR Gabe Davis. I bring up Saquon Barkley because Josh Allen likes him. I'm intrigued about CB James Bradberry though, but we don't have enough money to sign him either.

Please take a listen to locked on Bills, Friday’s episode (I think) will help you sleep better. Monday morning I’m calling SF, I want 6’ 212 pound Jeff Wilson Jr, through 6 games he has 400 yards rushing and just lost his starting spot to CMC. I think a 4th should do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathon Taylor and Nick Chubb are the absolute best in the business and are career 5.1 and 5.4 yard per carry RB's. When teams face Taylor and Chubb they are specifically trying to stop them. When teams face Singletary they concede his yards. This passing game combined with a top tier RB would be unstoppable. But I don't even need a top tier RB. I would accept a RB that occasionally rushes into the endzone. I see 30+ yard rushing TDs several times a week. The way that defenses play us those kinds of opportunities should be available. Singletary takes what the defensive scheme and run blocking gives him and has enough contact balance to fall forward for an extra couple of yards. But he doesn't create explosive plays and TDs. Throw whatever efficiency stats at me that you want, I'm not satisfied with his 0 rushing TDs through 6 games. I'm not satisfied that we only have 20+ yard rushing plays from our RBs when the opposing defense makes a big mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this like a Fred Jackson thing? Every year there is someone they are trying to replace him with? I don't think the obsession is replacing Singletary. At least for me, the idea of adding CMC was never about not playing Singletary. It's about having more than just 1 RB we rely on. Singletary isn't going to be on the field every down. And while he's not a bad RB, he doesn't strike fear in anyone. And God forbid he get hurt, we're nowhere. James Cook needs more time to acclimate to the game than I was expecting. And Zack Moss is not good. Singletary plus another Singletary level RB or better would help immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose in the playoffs because the wind is gusting 50 mph in January and we can’t pass the ball, we are going to be kicking ourselves for not bolstering this position. A couple of options that might be worth exploring: Antonio Gibson David Montgomery James Robinson I think each could be available for a mid-round pick, and imo it would be totally worth it. They're a dime a dozen you can get a good one anywhere i mean Moss is a awesome RB it literally takes little to no talent as long as you have a good O line hell i could play running back of them just ask the experts here that's pretty much what they tell me . I mean minus the part about me being a RB of the Bills that was a BS statement but i've been told it's all about the O line little to d with the back .

It will be more problematic in the playoffs. When Singletary touches the ball I hardly ever feel like he's going to break one. So I guess that puts me in the lack of explosiveness. With that said, Singletary isn't bad. He has a great rapport with Allen. Nothing wrong with taking what the defense gives you. The KC game was a good example of that. I'd be happy with that kind of running production every game. Remember, the Bills are a passing team with quick explosive big plays. 1st in the league I believe in big plays TDs. It's pretty hard to be so explosive in the running game and passing game both. I don't know one team that can claim that. Maybe we fans are asking for a little too much?

Cook makes a few mistakes but by and large you can clearly see that our o line is just terrible at run blocking. Adding a running back isnt going to do crap. Our running backs are fine. They are just as good as any non elite back around the league that does well behind a line that can block. Some of you guys really need to open your eye balls.

This oline often struggles with openIng up holes especially in short yard and goal line situations. The Bills strength is passing the ball. Like I said earlier, show me a team that is elite both passing and running. It's just a rare combination. I think the Bills don't need to be a great running team. Just serviceable and respectful to keep defenses honest. Refer to the KC team. Singletary ran well. Sure much of it was due to the defensive scheme. Nevertheless, it was a positive running performance by the Bills. I don't think the running game will be the strength of this offense for a long time. This is Allen's team and that big arm and timely runs are becoming commonplace. Boy are we getting applied! Fast forward to the playoffs. This is where a more effective run game becomes more critical. Teams are better and it becomes more difficult for Allen. The Bills need to be a little more balanced and keep defenses honest. However, Allen can absolutely carry this team and the pass game is elite and explosive. In summary, I think the Singletary is pretty good. I don't think we need an upgrade there. Moss is just not good. Cook is the wild card sort of speak. Hope he can develop and be a weapon come playoff time. This far, he has disappointed. Wondering if some point Duke Johnson gets a shot.

No name back across the league do well because their line allows them to do well, not because they are better than Singletary or Cook. Moss I hope never sees the field again. He just isnt that good. Although even he could do ok if the line blocked better. He isnt a break even one tackle guy really. Cook I think will be good but its too early to say with so little work. I would add that this line is pretty good at pass blocking but it has its moments of utter whiffs as well. They need to be better on those whiffs.

It’s like you didn’t read my post at all. You make a valid and important point. It’s happened once so it could happen again. Motor is adequate, above average , but look at backs or teams who can covert short yardage or in the red zone. We could use a hall or walker type back who can get yardage o. Their own ( like Josh ) , and motor has proven he is not strong against heavy boxes. It’s our only obvious weakness and if we have hoe field in Jan / feb , it’s reasonable to expect passing might be a challenge. Plus , if we do have a lead , milking the clock is hard to do passing the ball. I don’t think it’s the line play , watching other games some teams have backs with a knack for shir yardage gains against stacked boxes or they have that gear to take it to the house. Maybe Cook can be the guy. I hope so , but your point is valid and on the edge of a SB run , zi hope we have done all we can do and our run game isn’t our Achilles heel.
