WotAGuy Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Tay played for Onondaga Central High School and went to UCF for college. He wanted to sign with the Bills last year but Duke Johnson happened. He’s trying to establish some things in the Syracuse community and Buffalo would be a good fit to return to his home area before retirement. He also got along with Russell Wilson, so he’s a good team-first guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Junction Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 18 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: You may be right, but he's got more tread left than the typical 33 year old, being a backup type guy most of his career. I saw Murray a few times last year with the Broncos. He looked fresh. Definitely has more tread than average. Could be a boon down the stretch if Harris goes down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he played with Shockey, Winslow II, Gore, Portis, McGahee, Roscoe Parish, and Andre Johnson. I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of those type of players added to the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Believe it or not, Latavius Murray ran a 4.38 40 at his pro day. He had some wheels for a big guy. The odds are he's lost some of that speed over his career, but he's got some wheels and some power. He has 5600 career yards so there's every reason to believe he could do more than Taiwan Jones was ever asked to do on offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. My guess is they just need a veteran replacement for Duke Johnson to ride the practice squad until there's an injury. We've been pretty lucky with the lack of RB injuries now that I think of it. We'll find out if Murray is willing to accept that role at this stage in his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 8 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I mean, we do need someone for that Matt Breida/TJ Yeldon break glass in case of emergency role. McDermott has only ever dressed 3 RB's on Game Day, 1 of which was a Special Teamer. James Cook, Damien Harris, and Nyheim Hines will all dress (and Hines will provide more on offense than Taiwan Jones and Senorise Perry offered). So we do need a 4th guy on the roster who won't dress unless there's an injury. That said, I expected and prefer a 5th or 6th Rounder instead. Someone you could strike Gold on. They bring 90 to camp. Signing him would be signing a productive, physical, veteran player. They could still draft a guy in the mid-later rounds. Beane and McDermott are all about competition.

starrymessenger Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Like many others, I've always liked LM and as recently as last year he showed that he could still play.

GustheDog33 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Murray attended Onondaga High School and was Gatorade Football Player of the Year in NY in 2007.

Simon Says Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 15 hours ago, Allen2Diggs said: I feel like this is just part of some Beane smokescreen to make it seem like we're still interested in adding a rb and might draft Bijan Robinson. He keeps saying that Edmunds' replacement is on the roster and we haven't signed anyone new at LB, so that screams that we'll take a linebacker in the 1st or 2nd. Please share a link confirming Beane actually said " Edmunds replacement is on the roster ". I DID read that Dodson,Bernard and Spector, maybe even Matakevich, would COMPETE for the job. But that doesnt mean Beane won't sign or draft a LB. Ridiculous to think he would limit his draft options by believing that. Perhaps a smoke screen to fool the gullible?

Big Turk Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 16 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: What is it with this new RB obsession? Why can't McBeane get so unhealthilly interested in OLinemen? Perhaps so they don't need to waste a draft pick on one? Vet minimum contract for him would likely qualify at a lower cap hit under the NFL's salary cap agreement as a vested vet. Didn't Beane sign like 5 or 6 OL UFA's last year? Did you simply forget about that or were you missing last offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Defense Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I didn't realize how well he played last year, as a 32 year old running back--in 12 games rushing for 703 yards!, with 6 touchdowns, 4.4 yards per carry, and 26 receptions too. Those are very good stats for any back, let alone one in his early 30s. And throw in the fact that he was behind center with one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL, Russel Wilson, and it is more impressive. This is the kind of inexpensive veteran I want on this team. Edited April 13, 2023 by Mister Defense 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Murray was solid last year. Enough that he was one of my back-up fantasy RBs… like Mister Defense said… on the Broncos!

brianthomas Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Imagine 4 NFL quality rb's on this team, only to not run the ball this year. Sign me up! If Murray wants to come here for veteran minimum than come join the party i guess. But he's not going to give us much of anything we dont already have. For a team that doesnt even run much, getting Murray wont move that needle at all. Would it hurt? No not really. Could it help? Sure. Remains to be seen if we can run the ball at all... or if we'll even try.

Short Yardage. Pass Block. Goal line. Then mix & match so the defense is kept off balance Edited April 13, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
