Those kinds of comments…. I would love to have Henry… teams would have to play us different and our Wr would get a lot more 1/1 looks. And it would be nice to pound the ball in those bad weather games. And before someone comments just draft a big running back, guys like king Henry don’t grow on trees, dude is a special talent… I’m ready to win a Super Bowl!!! Getting Henry would definitely help. Henry is a beast and would instantly improve the offense. But mentioning chess vs checkers, adding a big money RB is one of the worst moves a franchise can make for a superbowl. A really great tweet got put out and it showed that the past 13 super bowl champions spent minimal to nothing at RB. Patriots and chiefs are 2 great teams that have spent pennies at RB for their championship runs. I'm all about adding talent to the bills offense and Henry instantly adds talent but according to the past 13 years it's not where great franchises spend precious resources.

Buffalo Super Fan Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The Tennessee Titans are shopping Derrick Henry because he has a lot of wear on him this is like the Buffalo Bills shopping O.J. Simpson at the end of his career with a lot of wear on him to the San Francisco 49ers at least Ralph Wilson got that one right. But he should of traded O.J. Simpson a year earlier to the Los Angeles Rams the Bills would have gotten even more. Ralph Wilson was a fool as a owner when it came to player personnel decisions in my opinion. Go Bills!

Let’s Go Buffalo OJ had a significant knee injury when he was traded to the Niners, essentially as good will to him. Henry while on the backside of his career does not have said injury. Not sure it’s the prudent move for the Bills right now. But two completely different situations health wise. OJ was basically done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pass on him I wouldn't have been so disappointed since they passed on Breece Hall, and before that Ben Roethlisberger Not sure how Bills passed on Big Ben. He was taken 2 picks ahead of Bills in 2004. Bills tried to move up to Jax spot for him but Jax decided to stay put and take a WR who busted. As for Breece Hall, yes the Bills passed on him but so did the Jets 2x in Rd 1 - they got him early in Rd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 If the Bills could pull off the Oliver for Henry deal, and draft a Dawand Jones, or Steve Avila with their first pick (could probably trade back a bit), they arguably would be set on offense, and could use the draft to replace Oliver and Edmunds, and add secondary help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Adding a truly elite RB like Henry would give a whole new dynamic to this offense. If we want to win a super bowl I think it has to involve the game being less dependent on Allen, and a more balanced scheme that featured an incredibly strong running game with a QB like Allen could be what's needed to put us over the top. Said differently, put Allen on the Titans 3 years ago and I think they win the Super Bowl easily. However, that all assumes we'd change the offense to utilize Henry, and this staff has given me no indication that they'll build scheme around talent. They're old school, "this is my scheme" guys, so to that end I think either Ekeler or Robinson would be the better fit if they wanted to target a #1. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a fact that doesn't fit the narrative. We need a bk that puts fear into opposing defenses. Another narrative I hate is having a great back somehow takes away from Allen and the passing game. The Bills have averaged 67 offensive plays per game over the last 2yrs adding a top notch back that only will increase to at least 70plays . That would give Allen at least 35/40 passes a game which is more then enough and there’s still 25/30 other plays to run the ball. It’s a win win for the Bills to add a legit threat in the running game. 4 minutes ago, ddaryl said: We need to get a RB in here to play without a contract Damn spell check, lol.

And Saffold was not the same player for us that he had been previously in his career. I actually seen Henry on multiple occasions rip threw defenses with 4 offensive lineman missing from the starting lineup on top of that he’s facing 8/9 man boxes . Playing for the Bills he will go off we would be unstoppable and probably punt less then once per game for a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
