It only seems that way because we don't watch every play. Every player looks good in highlights.

Now that pierce is hurt and he is the #1, he's playing well. And Moss was tearing ***** up until Taylor came back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Do we really have to do this every time a former player does something a tiny bit good? Yeah Miss is so good that he’s the backup in Indy and Singletary has had 1 good game after averaging like 3 ypc the first 10 games. While we are at it, let’s bring up Hodgins, or should we not because it doesn’t fit the narrative any more since he’s doing nothing this year? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many RBs don't flourish in RBBC. They need touches. Opportunity. They need to be in the flow of the game. Singletary was struggling until Pierce went out. Now he's being productive. It's not a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both good RB’s. Motor had a great run here. But you have one football and JA and Diggs. Cook brings speed neither offered. But the Bills are not a physical OL and it’s pass first here. So good for them! I am really happy for both of them. Josh was quoted as saying Motor was his favorite player because he worked so hard and was a great teammate.

Real McClappy Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 When you feed them 20+ carries both look like the real deal. Prob in Buffalo was utilization or stats could have been similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Probably not enough sample size, but Kromer has had more time to implement his blocking schemes and we picked up Torrence so there were some changes made by the Bills to improve the run game. They also have moved away from trying to use so much outside zone (stretch) running plays that was less of a fit for the kind of runners we had and we did not execute those well with our O-line. We now use a lot more power/gap and inside zone runs that we tend to execute better. Of course there are philosophy changes from coach to coach when it comes to how much, when, and how you run the ball. It always baffled me the amount of draft capital Beane and McD put into finding a good RB and how the running game was usually not a feature that the Daboll offense leaned into. It was mainly just something to keep defenses more honest and to prevent them from pinning their ears back and rushing Allen, or just going light boxes and strictly playing the pass. Cook was on fire last game after the benching till Dorsey found a way to forget about him. OCs, have to have a feel for what is working and keep going to that well till a defense stops it - then figure out what they gave up to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Moss looks better. Moss is a one cut back much better suited for Indy's offense. Singletary is just getting more carries now he's starting in Houston he did well when he was here when we gave him the ball. Not sure what people are complaining about Cooks is pretty good also. Problem here for years has been committing to the running game, not the backs carrying the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 It's an all of the above situation. Both Singletary and Moss were playing in an offense where everything was geared towards the passing game, and the O line was usually somewhere between terrible and mediocre. I have no idea how good the O lines in Indy or Texas are, but since Indy has been leaning on Jonathan Taylor for production, I'll assume that at least Indy's line has been developed to block for the run. I'm glad for both of them as players and as men. They're both in a situation where they have a better chance to thrive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Defense Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Yup, and it took Houston a little too long to realize what they have in Singletarry--their starter, a workhorse, one of the best running backs in the league at protecting the quarterback, a team player, never complaining, and someone who gets better and better the more you feed him the ball And he is always available. Now, watch to see if Houston is smart enough to let Motor run and run, providing Houston with a missing element of the offense, just like he did so well with the Bills in the middle of the 2021 season. The Bills became the best rushing team in the league during that stretch, propelling the entire offense, and Josh Allen, to their best play ever, championship caliber. If Dorsey was not as incompetent as he is, he would have ridden Motor last year and not let him go this year.

Like Devin and glad he’s playing well, like you said; guy never complained. True team first guy. Either way, like most RBs. You get enough opportunities in a game you will wind up producing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dorsey was not as incompetent as he is, he would have ridden Motor last year and not let him go this year. The only reason the Bills didn't keep Singletary (and why they drafted Cook a year ahead of Singletary's departure) is that Singletary's rookie contract was expiring, and the Bills don't want to pay the going rate for top-notch veterans. Like most other teams, the Bills use rookie contracts for RBs to balance the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Defense Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Just now, Herc11 said: Well they are both backups and both have played well when put in the #1 roll. Yes, it tells me that Houston made a poor decision in making Pierce their starting RB, and waiting so long to finally use Motor, make him their starter. He will remain there, I think, and add that other needed dimension for Houston to become a true contender. I think he will make $3.5 million this year. How much do Harty and Sherfield make? Not their fault they are not used, and not used well, but how much production for how much money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more players leave Buffalo and show their skill The Bills never had a good run blocking offensive line for 90% of the time he was here. 2019 and 2020 the Bills offensive line were very solid at pass blocking but average at best in run blocking. 2021 the Bills offensive line was a mess until the last few weeks of the regular season and playoffs (they didn’t get rolling until they kicked D.Williams inside and plugged in Brown and Bates). That 6ish game stretch was probably the only stretch of good run blocking play by the offensive line. Then in 2022 the offensive line was horrendous. Had Singletary been the consistent lead back and had better run blocking he easily would have been a 1100 yard or better back if healthy.

Singletary wouldn’t be playing in Buffalo anyway. He was a free agent and no matter how well he had played here he was gone. Moss rushed 1 time for 2 yards last week-am I supposed to be impressed by that? He had a couple of good games, but in half of their games his ypc has been under 4. I’ll say it again, complete Isaiah Hodgins syndrome-have a decent game or 2 and somehow that means Buffalo clearly screwed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
