WNY Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Bills need to go all in and sign Saquon Barkley and draft OL help. I know it will require a lot of cap space and maneuvering, but could be done. Hopefully he will not require an extremely long term contract and will believe that he could win a SB here in Buffalo. Eisen believes this is what we should do and I agree. https://youtu.be/2yu0eu-jQW0 3 4 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I like Eisen, don't hate the idea, but not sure it's as simple as this. Definitely need an upgrade @ WR2, & we don't have a lot of $ to get Barkley, upgrade OLine, new WR2, keep Edmunds, etc... We'll see what Beane can do.

dorquemada Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 are we still running a "bombs away!" offensive scheme? Will Borkley get more than 8 carries a game? Will Beane revisit his stubborn refusal to invest in the OL? If you answer yes to any of those questions than the answer is no, why bother? Chances are Beane drafts another can't miss prospect at DL. Probably undersized and high motor, if I had to guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They need receivers and Oline desperately. Drafting or even signing a dynamic rb ain’t worth it unless his name his Josh Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Signing running backs on their second contracts is not smart. There will be cheaper options available but trusting Beane to pick a #1 RB has proven to be futile at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is 1st down/2nd down between the tackles grinder. Short yardage relief to Josh too. If they do not go for one of the 2 premium RB's in the draft, this is a very viable and budget friendly option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Nope. BTW I was thinking earlier of what the Giants did when they drafted Barkley. They invested a lot of money in their OL, drafted him, and figured Eli would do the job with this extra help. It didn't work, at all. Yet it really made sense. Plans don't always work out. Though we ALL know with a better OLine, Josh would kill defenses, and Davis would suddenly look like a #2 receiver, while Knox' numbers would go way up. Yet the Giants show even if you throw money at the OLine, there are no guarantees. I do like to odds though! It's sure is worth the try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 How is it possible that people came away from that game the other day and arrived at the conclusion that we need a running back? Seriously? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 No thanks. We dont call enough run plays, and the runs we do call are poorly designed and timed. Not worth the money to sign a big name RB and not use him. Frankly, between Allen, Cook, and being able to re-sign Singletary super cheap, we have all the RBs we need. Throw in Hines too. And we dont use any of them as we should as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook is capable of being our feature back in this style of offense if we can finally get some good blocking rather than having running plays blown up in the backfield. And if Dorsey would adjust to a quick or 2 step passing game because of the pressure they were using it may help a bit too with the amount of pressure they were using to get to Josh he can't sit back & hold the ball like he did there just wasn't that kind of time & you can't expect the O line to hold that long . So if adjustments in the passing game were made i think it would have helped to some degree but yes i do agree we need to get some better O linemen . 2 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: No thanks.

Not saying we won’t, but you can’t pay a guy $20m per year that doesn’t sack QB’s or create turnovers. Edmunds is the embodiment of The Frazier/Mcdermott defense. He’s a good player but the guys you pay big money to gotta be game changers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
