Success Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 This is actually amazing. When he was healthy, this guy was SO good. Honestly, considering what we have to work with - this has been an excellent FA period. We have a running game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna be getting paid a million more than Singletary is getting with the Texans. They've already reworked his contract. They wouldn't do that if they weren't planning to keep him.

(Face palm) Also Harris carrying the rock up the middle while Singletary getting designed draws and outside runs vs light boxes. It's not even comparable what these guys bring to the table. Harris is such a better football player and has actual NFL size and physical traits. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoys the ***** out of me…. Will be less annoying if they can make 1B opposite Diggs a priority. But if Beane added lot of D players in FA , you would complain that this is a continued trend of only prioritizing D players. I too want them to shore up the OL but you have to give credit that at least the FA acquisitions are O heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 1 minute ago, RocCityRoller said: Given how little RBs are asked to run between the tackles here, I think he is fine. It's not like Bill Belichick to mess with the injury report based on matchups...... I think that's why he's here. I think McD has a lot of Neanderthal in him. He wants to be able to win a game here or there by running it down the throat of the opposition. This signing might allow him to accomplish that. Beane is having himself a day. I really, really like the Sherfield move. A ST contributor who also is an offensive contributor. And a guy who could be a handful when we played him last year. I wanted a Lazard type to spell Davis. Looks like they may have found a smaller but similarly tough version on the cheap. Now with Harris maybe we've found the grinder at RB that Zack Moss never could be. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think by just making up numbers, people will believe you?? 😂😂 I don’t think they are the same. I think Singletary is slightly better. He’s more durable and a better receiver. Singletary doesn’t run like Harris. You are an excellent poster here, not taking a shot at you, I think you know the tape doesn’t lie. How Harris ran in NE is different than how Singletary ran in Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well go down that way after the CB, RB, LB sequence last year. I'd imagine he's pretty stoic about that. Medicinae materia est!

Fan in Chicago Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 33 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said: It will be and it should be. Harris is a different RB than Singletary and better at what he does than Singletary is at what he does. With Cook and Hines, we needed a bruiser. And one that has proved he can do it. This is an upgrade, not a bad tradeoff. Fair points so I am cautiously optimistic. I did like Motor for maximizing his production with inferior blocking. I wish him well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and don't forget, Harris was doing that with a worn out Cam Newton and a rookie/2nd year Mac Jones at QB. He did not have the advantage of having Josh Allen (and Stefon Diggs) drawing defenders off to defend the pass to the same degree. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 48 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Why is he better? They have the same YPC. Motor has been way more durable while playing in a less run-friendly offense. Motor is also a superior reciever. Again, Harris is a decent back. He raises the floor. I think Harris is a more consistent chain mover. YPC might be the same, but my memories of Singletary are me getting excited after an early 20+ yard run and then a long string of relative ineffectiveness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterStrategist Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 14 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Interior DL is a need. We’d be upset with a DT? DT, OT, OG are good picks. Big guys. Certainly could use help in the trenches and Ed/Daquan might be gone after this season. Front office has done what they typically do heading into draft, give themselves options to pick BPA. MLB is such a critical piece to our defense, looks to be the direction for round 1 or 2. I've been in the camp of improving OL and WR room, but DL is equally an issue (Boogie, Epenesa, Settle - all not reliable). We have Groot, Ed (who most want gone bc of his salary), & Daquan healthy now. Von is no guarantee to be the same impactful player this yr. DL has been our downfall in the past 3 playoff losses, lack of pressure/struggle to stop the run. Sad, given what Beane has invested, but it likely needs more talent infused at both DT and DE. Could see Epenesa traded during camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that Harris is better (I do think it is close though). I do think Harris is a better fit next to Cook (who I expect to be the primary back). I’m fine with the signing. I would have preferred a mid-round pick or someone that doesn’t count in the comp formula. With that being said, Harris will be fine and improve the Bills in short yardage. Cook’s development is the best hope for the running game to make the leap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I’ll give this signing my blessing if: 1. He stays healthy 2. He doesn’t cost a lot 3. He doesn’t lose them a comp pick 4.

Sorry my sarcasm was not clear, I love this pick up and Sherfield. Neither were FA studs, but both are true NFL players that can improve the team. Sherfield. Best blocking WR we have had since Woods, and can play outside if needed, also plays ST. Replaces Kumerow and Mckenzie in one shot. Harty = McKenzie/ Stevenson/ Jones 2 for 1 all offseason. I love it. McGovern is an improvement at OG. (Just hope he plays RG) We agree 100%. Solid Week 2 signings. Both improve the team IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
