I wouldn’t hate it.  I don’t know if we can make the moves necessary to get the defense up to respectability with the all injuries. So why not just ram rod it down teams throats.  The Henry, Cook and Allen backfield would make teams have to respect the run which would definitely open up the deep stuff that teams have been playing to stop recently.  
 

 

Team RamRod!!

At what cost? If the Chiefs gave up a 1st Rounder for Hopkins would you want Beane to give up a 1st and a 4th?

Nobody is giving a first for Hopkins. It will be a late rounder, but the Titans will let him make the choice of where to go. If you were him, what team would you pick. In KC, you get Taylor Swift, ribs, Mahomes, Reid and a SB ring. In Buffalo, you get a b-list actress, snow and “no-film” Josh.

There is an article in today's Daily News about the Giants trading Saquon, but Beane really should call Schoen and see if either Lawrence or Williams are available. That would be a good move for the Bills and combined Oliver will help shore up the D-Line.

I agree that someone to fill in for DaQuon Jones is a big need right now.  He was playing so well, that he will be difficult to replace.

If the Giants lose on Sunday and fall to 2-6 then Beane has to call them and see if a deal can be worked out. I am sure he is looking at all options, but he does have history with Schoen working together in Buffalo.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I know it’s super unpopular but I can’t even imagine how great it’d look to see a T playing TE, a FB and Henry coming downhill with Josh Allen as the QB. Just like yo and run it for 5 yards whenever we feel like it.

[Ramza86]

That would be their big move? What a joke.

 

Henry is a shell of himself. Have you seen him run? Hes only worth a damn with a clear lane. He doesnt move piles anymore.

[Bobby Hooks]

I don’t love it. But we have to do something.

Saquon is the RB the Bills really should be targeting. He has the ability to do the things Cook can plus pass protect😎

He'd be hurt on his third play.

Im not proposing anything here...just sharing info.  

 

Interesting day over here...A buddy called me earlier today who has also been a source of some info in the past (for example he was the one who leaked the Rams vs Bills season opener last year to me a month early) and he just he heard some chatter potentially linking Bills and Henry today.  

 

I just got home right now from being out and about for a little bit running errands and I got a text from a bookmaker buddy of mine about how the Bills are now the betting favorites in Vegas to land Henry at 2/1 odds.  My immediate comment to him was to ask him if that is just because Beane freed up some cap space.  He said it's possible, but more likely Vegas at least heard or caught wind of something suggesting at least interest rather than just make that move over a small cap move.  

 

So take it with a grain of salt...but just found it interesting that in the same day Beane freed up cap space Vegas made the Bills the betting favorites to land him.  Did a quick google search to pull up the odds and found this link right away.  

 

https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-trade-rumors-odds-derrick-henry-tennessee-titans#:~:text=Buffalo is granted a 33.3,(%2B300%2C 25 percent).

 

 

If only Von would get on board it would be a lock.

[starrymessenger]

Who in the Bills brain trust would want to completely transition the offense from a pass first to a ball control/ground and pound offense? In mid-season no less?  Can't imagine anyone would.  

[BigBadBills]

not sure who this guy is or how credible he is. He does have 6k followers.

This guy broke Jonnu Smith to the Pats with the correct numbers. That’s about it. This seems like a shot in the dark.

Can't draft a 2nd Rd RB if you trade it away.

 

 

[LABILLBACKER]

Please no. Are they immediately panicking because of Harris?  We've got 4 starting defensive players hurt or IR.  We need a 1T, LB,  CB or WR2 in that order.  We don't have a run blocking OL good enough to justify this.

No thank you! Please fill the holes on defense

[WotAGuy]

Trading for an old RB? When your franchise QB needs WR weapons?
 

Either Josh is having a mental breakdown or Beane is. 

[HOUSE]

There is also a rumor that some of this stuff is made up as an alternative to Viagra 

[Dubie54]

We need a lot more help elsewhere but wouldn't put it past Beane to go after a big name like Henry with questionable longevity issues just like he did with Von.

Did you hear about the new Viagra eye drops?

 

Makes you look hard.

[Dan Darragh]

I think it could be fun having Henry and Josh Norman in the clubhouse.  Like a class reunion!

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I don’t care what anyone says about how it’s a passing league..I’m sure it won’t happen here but I’d absolutely love having a legit threat at RB

[Bangarang]

Because when I think of our problems I think of RB. 
 

Dorsey probably cant wait to constantly run the draw out of shotgun with Henry

[TheWeatherMan]

Trading for Henry makes zero sense, so I fully expect it to happen. 

[May Day 10]

Henry could change this offense.  Wont have to lean on him heavily.  Him and cook could be a pretty dynamic combo and take pressure off of Allen/Diggs and force the defense to respect the run a lot more.  At first I scoffed at the idea but it might be worth a shot

Edited October 26, 2023 by May Day 10

[Gregg]

Would rather the Bills trade for a DT.

[theAteam]

Instead of changing the 2nd and short runs up the gut let's get a bigger guy to run up the gut.

[WotAGuy]

Is this a rumor or a possible rumor?

 

There’s a difference, ya know.

First day in clubhouse:

 

Henry: Hey Josh, remember when I…..

 

Norman: yeah, yeah….my ass still hurt in’ your highness. 

 

[Brandon]

It wouldn't be my first choice, but like anything else, it depends on the price tag.  If they do,  I hope they stop with the shotgun running plays.

[dpberr]

Watch Ken Dorsey turn the Bills into a 1987-era offense with Henry, running the ball 30 times every game.  

 

"There's just so much running..."  

[Just Jack]

Is it a done deal yet?  Want to know when I get my millions from betting on this. 

[Alphadawg7]

Hmmmm...feel like I read or heard this somewhere before...lol

 

 

[HOUSE]

Yeah and we were 16 point favorites over the Giants

Not gonna happen.  You lose one of the top CB's and 1 techniques in the game along with one of the top 2 LB's...nothing you do will help that. 

 

Max out offense and outscore the B!@#$#@!.

Well,most teams want fast DT's and LB's so why not pound it down their throats for a year?  If running Henry 30xa game wins us a superbowl, so be it

The ribs in Kansas City were the most overrated I've had boom

 

And who gives a f*** about Taylor Swift

[HappyDays]

CJ Golson is a fraud.

 

Just makes stuff up and occasionally gets lucky.

[Big Turk]

Why??  

[Nihilarian]

We all saw what the offense looked like in games #2, #3, and #4 by working the run game more.

 

Raiders, 38 rush attempts with 183 rush yards, 2 rush TDs. FINAL SCORE 38-10

 

Commanders, 33 rush attempts with 168 rush yards, 2 rush TDs. FINAL SCORE 47-3

 

Miami, 29 rush attempts with 142 rush yards, and 2 rush TDs. FINAL SCORE 48-20

 

Now, running the ball didn't kill the Buffalo passing offense in those games and in fact, it looked to help it immensely. 

 

This move would put the Buffalo Bills offense right up there with the 49ers and Eagles. Being able to move the ball in any situation should also help keep the offense ON the field and the Buffalo defense OFF the field.

 

WINTER IS COMING!!!!!
