Since1981 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Henry would be deadly with this offense. For all the people that say Buffalo weather is an advantage--it is when you have a guy like Henry back there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years he has been a shell of his former self, but he is still an excellent short yardage back. Zeke is someone I wouldn’t mind for the right price, but I also wouldn’t be expecting prime Zeke. You do realize he sucks right(?

We don’t have to agree He isn’t a true number 1 anymore, but he hasn’t sucked at short yardage the last couple of years. The last game against the niners in the playoffs didn’t go well, but that niners d line/defense is one of the best. I’m basing my opinion on fantasy (yeah I know), but he has been consistent at punching the ball into the end zone when in close, or making the tough short yardage situations. That’s really all we need from a back. We already have speed and pass catching in Cook/Hines. I’m not saying I WANT Zeke. I just wouldn’t be opposed either (for the right and cheap price). We need a power back one way or another and the power back doesn’t need to be a rb1. One of the most common labels by fans for a non rb1 back would be along the lines of, “he sucks, or he’s trash”. Out of curiosity, which power back(s) would you like the Bills to go after? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Bring me Zeke on the cheap. We just need someone for when we get inside the 5 yard line and stall. And Zeke is still a powerhouse that knows how to find the endzone in short yardage. Regardless of his best days being behind him, he was still tied for THIRD most TDs from a RB last year. While on a passing offense. He had 12, which is exactly Josh (7) and Singletary (5) combined.

We are building an athletic, pass blocking OL. These dudes are not going to be knocking people back. Someone like Zeke, who is strong and knows how to knife/angle for that yard, makes a lot of sense. He’d also be a perfect compliment for Cook as a RB duo. Good in pass pro as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means he had 776 yards in his first 171 carries! Amazing production I actually thought you were being sarcastic, then I looked up his stats and you were being serious. He fell off a cliff hard this year. The plus side is he wouldn’t be RB1, just RB1a and definitely won’t get 271 Carrie’s next year. I still think Damien Harris or Darrel Williams is the direction we will go. Harris KILLED us and Williams played for KC.

Pollard didnt do much better over that same window, but we know he's a feature back. Sounds like a team issue that was going through some challenges. Which we know they were. Throwing out a single vague stat that the whole team plays into doesnt tell us much. Look at the whole body of work and when he was most effective. Short yardage and/or goal line situations. Where have the Bills struggled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Jamal Williams or Leonard Fournette, but FA RB's aren't likely to view Buffalo as a preferred destination until we give our OL a face lift, so to speak.
