mjt328 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Honest question... Why in the world would James Cook want to play with his brother? He's lived in Dalvin's shadow his entire college career. Now he gets into the pros, has a chance at starting for an NFL team himself, and in only his 2nd season is immediately put back onto the bench. I can't see the appeal. This isn't like the Diggs brothers, who obviously play different positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew21PA Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I was on board for a running back but - we can even throw a screen to them or even a play call for a wheel route …I admit when I was wrong about going after a RB I guess load up on 4 wides and a tight end and throw it 40-50 times is how we are designed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, that seems like the kind of splash trade that Beane would make. This would be a great energy boost for Diggs, as well as a certain young RB on our roster with the same last name. My gut says it could happen, and if it did, I would be thrilled. (depending on what it cost from a trade perspective) most contracts have built in restructure language that does not need player or agent approval to enact. Just notification to all parties sent by team. Edited March 15, 2023 by cba fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not a running team. We have zero need for a high paid RB1, RD2 RB2 and well paid RB3. It’s overkill. We just need a big back for short yardage/goal line/change of pace to pair with Cook and Hines. And why would you when you also have a top 5 QB. Tenn and Indy run a lot because they can't pass well. Even the Giants this past year which helped make Jones look better at QB. We're the opposite, our QB can make a RB look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Multiple perceived 2 down backs available. With Cook and Hines give me a guy that lives in between the tackles. Damian Harris, Deonta Forman, Dernest Johnson seem to be less expensive options. I think Sanders and Hunt will want to much up front. Delvin is owed alot of money and is always hurt it seems.

Warriorspikes51 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Dalvin could be cut tomorrow. He’s owed a 2 million bonus Friday and his cap hit is 14 mil. They’d save almost half by cutting him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, that seems like the kind of splash trade that Beane would make. Yes, we could. No, it's wildly unlikely. "For some reason ..." and then no reason is given. I'll give you a hint. The reason is that you like the idea. What you have there is a case of confirmation bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me, sir, the 1980s are on the line for you. They're asking you to come back home. That's a slight exaggeration, of course. It's really the early oughties you have to go back to. But you only have to look at recent Super Bowl teams to know that you simply don't need a guy like this anymore. There might be areas where a change of philosophy would do us good. Going back to the era of the work horse back is not one of those areas. There really is zero reason to think this is part of our problem. Zero. This has been said a million times here, but since 2008 there have been three SB-winning teams with 1000 yard backs. That's three out of fifteen. None in the last six years. Sorry, man, but the game has changed. Live in the past if you must, but people will notice that you're not really up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is working well so far. It's always awkward when someone tries sarcasm and gets it pointed out that what they said was actually correct. And that's what happened here. Could have been better, of course, but yes, it's working out well. And yes, this team will live and die with Allen as it should. They should put together a solid run game, but they don't need to spend a bunch of money on a bellcow. that's not how the league works anymore, with few exceptions who haven't won SBs lately.

Glaring need at this point, and MLB’s tend to go early in the draft. I'm kind of torn with who to get at the round 1 pick for the Bills this year I'm hoping that Beane goes with 1 of 2 players the guy out of Arkansas Drew Sanders Or the RB Robison would be nice seeing as LB is a big need & the Bills running game since the first year McD showed up has been less than stellar . I know RB in the first round isn't a popular pick but when you see what a really good RB can do for the team like Breece Hall did for the Jets or Barkley does for the Giants it makes a huge difference despite what the "Experts" say & fans think . Sure a midland running game you can get a RB most any where to do a average job but to have a guy back there that you know can deliver in those need to have moments is a great asset . As they say it only takes 1 or 2 plays to change the out come of a game & Pacheco came through with those couple of plays to help KC last season . If we had a guy like that for Josh & Dorcey to lean on once in a while i think this offense would be even better because those kind of backs even with out great O line play can make big plays happen because of their special talents . I can't wait to see what Beane has in store for the draft !! Go Bills !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
