Bills!Win! Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Christian Okoye. Okoye would run them over and wear them down so when Allen runs he can jump over the defense every play 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Thurman Thomas. He's a former Bill and one of the greatest dual threat RBs in NFL history. He could pass block extremely well too. End the thread. FTFY. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Thurman He's so underrated. I was too young to see him play but the games and highlights I seen are incredible. He was the catalyst for that great offense And majority of the games I've seen were in the playoffs , he came up big in big games Edited May 7, 2023 by JerseyBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 now- Bijan. I’m thinking this kid is going to be special, and I want the RB with the lowest mileage on the tires combined with elite skill set. past- Barry. All time RB1. Dude just ran different, never seen another like him. Plus the numbers he put up, considering everybody knew he was the Lions offense, just ridiculous.

ColoradoBills Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I'd like to see former Bills with Josh. AFL-Cookie Gilchrist NFL-Thurman Thomas All you younger Bills fans missed out watching Cookie play football. It was something to behold. Talk about intensity, they were meant to play with each other.

PrimeTime101 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Jerome Bettis, Rarely got caught behind the los. Dude was a beast. Players always bounced off him and unusual speed for his size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 2 hours ago, Bobby Hooks said: This isn’t just the Homer part of me, I think Thurman would be excellent in this offense. Faulk too, I think he’s even said once if he was a Bill during that time they would’ve won a Super Bowl. Though maybe I’m misremembering, I do definitely remember him saying he would’ve loved to play in that offense. Thurman Thomas was Marshall Faulk before Faulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFL-Cookie Gilchrist NFL-Thurman Thomas All you younger Bills fans missed out watching Cookie play football. It was something to behold. Talk about intensity, they were meant to play with each other. Cookie was one tough dude. I've heard 60s Bills players tell different versions of this story... The Bills were playing the Pats. Early in the game, Cookie finds a hole. A 2nd level defender moves forward to make the tackle. Cookie could have tried to slip to the right or left and then broken the arm tackle. But Cookie loved contact. He lowers his head and destroys the Pats tackler in a horrific collision. They had to take the poor schmuck off the field on a stretcher. Cookie then goes over to the Pats sideline and shouts something like, 'Which one of your muthafutzers is next?' (The actual quote might have been R rated). According to Cookie's teammates, the Pats lost heart after that and the Bills cruised to victory. Can you imagine Diggs and Cookie on the same offense? Diggs would love it. Cookie's violent physicality would be an inspiration for the entire team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 3 hours ago, Freddie's Dead said: FTFY. Faulk and Tomlinson were just as good and a step faster. Thurman had better vision and set up his blocks perhaps better than any RB in history. My favorite Bill until Allen wins the SB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a powerful downhill runner like Earl, but Lenny would be super productive in our offense - if Dorsey used him right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom, who's still a big fan, talked my dad into going to meet them at the airport in a snowstorm. It was crazy! My 2 older brothers and I still talk about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest Bills RB I remember is Mini Max Andersen. Didn't Larry Felser used to say that Cookie - in his prime - was as good as Jim Brown? You're a lucky man to have seen him play.
