JohnBonhamRocks Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Undisputedly the second best Leonard F. on our team. But really, are there other better age 28 Super Bowl Champion RBs with a career 4.0 YPC available that people wanted over him? If nothing else, I am interested to see how we can integrate a RB who had 73 catches last season into our offense. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got no one with serious nastiness on offense since crazy man... Richie Incongito. I don't care if he weighs 300lbs and has just 10 plays on the field all game. Just be nasty. He can prance around the field in a tutu, so long as he nets 5 ypc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing he wanted way more $ in the summer and no one was willing to do it. hopefully he used the time to “become the best version of himself” reportedly is in great shape. the Bills are literally always in need of players who bring a physical edge on the field. There is hardly anyone on the roster who does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I really thought the Fournette thing was click bait i would think a CB or LB would have been priority seeing as the running game has been a bit better than last season & that they really haven't used them a lot out side of Cook .

RunTheBall Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 This is a zero risk move to fill a void at RB. I love it. Guy has a nasty streak, has a lot of playoff experience, can block and catch. What’s not to like? That he’s going to take some reps from Murray at some point? Signing a guy to the practice squad does not prevent us from making a move at DT/LB/CB/WR if there is a move to be made. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-signing-rb-leonard-fournette Quote Fournette has previously stated how important it is to play for a Super Bowl contender. “Winning is everything,” Fournette said in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times. “That’s all. And in my last three years here, that’s all we’ve done. But since my guy (Brady) left — that’s why I came — so my time here was up.” Fournette began last season as the RB1 in Tampa Bay's offense, as it was once again Super Bowl-or-bust for Tom Brady and Co. But the Bucs managed to finish with the league's worst rushing offense by a mile, averaging the fewest rushing yards per game (76.9), scoring the fewest rushing touchdowns (five) and fewest average yards per carry (3.4). He was supposed to be starter for Bucs last year but only started 9 games being replaced by Rachaad White who is starter for Bucs this year. Could his effort be part of reason no Superbowl last year? Hope he is activated for 3 games not on put on 53 immediately. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 It makes sense to me. It's not just the fact that Damien Harris is hurt. It's the fact that he tends to get hurt. I was looking at the running back combine results and was impressed that Fournette ran a 4.51 at 240 lbs. I think he played lighter than that in recent years and might be a bit faster. There are a number of running backs from that draft class who are still productive in the league. Why not Fournette? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD716 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I like Cook but this is a passing league and he struggles with pass blocking. Fournette at 240lbs will struggle less 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 This guy can be a real difference maker for us in power running, pass protection and pass catching out of the backfield. I think you make him active right away, he should have fresh legs. Also he’s younger than I thought he was. Big upgrade from Murray and if you don’t trust Cook in pass protection then this guy can help a lot. I really like this move I hope we use him. I hope he plays against the Bengals. That’s a team that pushed us around physically…this dude is physical. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
