Chandler#81 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hines may not knock your eyes out with stats, but this one should; he averages 5.5 yrds per play, wether running or receiving. 5.5/Play! I’ll take that EVERY day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 whoa. 41 page thread. I won't read it all so perdon if my thoughts are already mentioned. He has special teams skills and looks in pads fast on those runbacks. I like that! Bills mafia will certainly love him if he produces TD's. "Duncan Hines" be dunkin' on our competition 🙂 Welcome to Buffalo! Zack Moss best of luck in Indy. Not rooting against him in any case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I think some people are over complicating this. The question is - Do we have a better team than we did before the trade? Yes. We now have a better punt returner. A RB that is more useful and productive than Moss. A more explosive and speedy RB room. A player that allows more scheme versatility. More weapons for Josh to throw to. Basically all for a 6th rounder. Yes his next years cap is high but the Bills don’t have to pick it back up and since we are clearly in the Super Bowl hunt this year, it’s a reasonable trade off. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1onemangang7 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Well, now you have what you wanted from Cook so that helps. Move cook to practice squad and bring over Duke Johnson for short yardage and clock eating. Need a change up still besides qb. Three backs cut from the same mold. At least nothing lost if they sub Hines in and out for Simgletary. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in any event, no way you are getting Cook through to the practice squad. In order to do that you have to cut him first and subject him to waivers. He would get claimed. Singletary, Hines and Cook is fine. 1 minute ago, Beast said: Move Cook to the practice squad? And how long do you think before a team would poach him off that, Governor?

MAJBobby Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 12 hours ago, No_Matter_What said: Well apparently Chiefs also do, otherwise Hill would be still on the team. Also, if the cap is not "real", why exactly wasn't Poyer extended already? I do know that cap can be manipulated to a certain extent but it is still more than real in terms of limiting teams to do whatever they want. Ok I will play. Chiefs. Cap is “real” so they paid how many WRs this year in Cap hits to replace the cap hit of Hill? and a single move cleared their cap up. When you have your QB and all that space in the Bank of your QB (just cash it) during Allen’s window Cap will not hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This will have a bigger impact than people think. Bills wanted to add this type of weapon out of the backfield and not have to rely on a rookie to provide it. And we've added some much needed speed to be even more of a nightmare to defend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJauronClap Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hines is a great pass catching back, also can split out wide and a returner to trade a 6th and Zack moss seems like a great deal for the bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 3 hours ago, GunnerBill said: The constant benching of TJ Yeldon is about the only thing they have got right at running back. He really sucked. That is a wild over reaction. We were struggling in the run game and Singeltary was really struggling in pass pro early in his career. He would come in in spot duty and be "proficient" then we wouldn't see him ever again. I am not claiming he was a super star, or even great. But people aren't still making TJ Yeldon jokes about the RB position years later because a terrible football player didn't dress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the move of adding Hines (gave up nothing and actually got them to take Moss from us) and think he is a receiving threat and has home run capability. So why did the Colts let him go for nothing? I believe they made the move with an eye towards the salary cap for next season. They had just resigned Hines to a pretty sizable contract for a back up RB with the intent to get him more involved. Reports were he had even spent a lot of time with the WR group in camp as well. Since then they have seen Deon Jackson step up and play well in the game Taylor missed at RB. Michael Pittman came back healthy and looks like a pretty legit #1 WR and Alec Pierce has been one heck of a weapon for them. It's a chance for them to get younger and cheaper at the skill positions in what may well amount to a lost season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
