I think it's time to activate Fournette

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

Let's give the Chiefs something they haven't seen before to react to.  Eat up some clock, keep their O off the field, impose our will.  All that stuff.

[billsfanmiamioh]

Was actually thinking the same thing the other day. Cant hurt. 

[Einstein]

Would love to add that physicality.

[RiotAct]

I was banging this drum for the first couple weeks he was with the Bills… but Cook, Murray and Johnson have been performing quite well.

[KDIGGZ]

I don't know, I like seeing Murray running full speed into the line for 1 yard

[BBFL]

Playoff Lenny only…

 

 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I’m wondering if he’s just Diggs emotional support animal.

Or maybe Lawson's

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Y’all know Lenny is basically washed up, right? 

[Low Positive]

We're not seeing him in practice.

If he was good enough to play he would have been active by now. They are not going to activate him unless there is an injury. Murray has been the good in pass protection and occasionally has a good run.

Disagree.  Besides needing to learn the offense and get into game shape, we changed OC’s since he joined the team as well.   After seeing the Packers pound the ball w Dillon last weekend, I would not be surprised to see Fournette get called up this weekend over Ty Johnson.

[boyst]

Ty Johnson has been playing very well.

[dorquemada]

I assumed that he wasn't picking up the offense, given that you had to have 17 PhDs in theoretical mathematics and a 4 digit IQ to understand Dr Dorsey's schemes

I'd be fine with that. Johnson has been running hard though. He's been fine. RB is about the 10th most important issue this team is facing. 

[Conlan58]

I'm in favor of this. I had to make a move in fantasy and opted to drop Murray and kept Playoff Lenny.

[Coach Tuesday]

I am sure the Chiefs are terrified at the thought of having to defend Fournette’s 2.9 YPC.

[Pirate Angel]

He's on the practice squad until there's an injury, just like duke johnson. Ty Johnson has been pretty impressive and if moved to the practice squad he would be signed by someone else.

[Scott7975]

I don't know what everyone is so concerned with getting him on the field for.  The guy is barely going to move the needle from the run game/pass game we already have.

[boater]

I Googled. He's probably earning $20,600 per week on the practice squad.

 

Good work if you can find it.

This.. Ty Johnson is also faster than him as well. I think Lenny will stay on the PS with the emergence of Ty Johnson

It's the OJ Anderson factor.  Lenny gets you 3 yards weather you need 5 or 1

[BuffaloBillies]

He's a nice insurance policy if any one of the current RBs go down.

I'd probably keep him stashed, for fresh depth vs making one of the current RBs inactive.

[Logic]

Ty Johnson has looked strong, consistently running through arm tackles and picking up extra yards. He also seems to have some juice to him, and can catch the ball well. Combined with his special teams ability (which Fournette lacks), I don't see him being replaced by Fournette any time soon.

The performance of Ty Johnson, in my mind, has made it so that unless there is an injury at running back, we won't be seeing Fournette suit up, and rightly so.

This. Lenny needs to sit. Ty needs a lot more touches.

What are you this guy?

 

 

I think after all that ganga, you may think you have pointy ears.

 

You know I luv ya Bruce.

[zow2]

The Guy won a Super Bowl and he's a badass.  We need some of that on the field at KC.  I say it's time to press the button and activate!

Yeah if you sit anyone it's can't be Ty that'd be ridiculous with how he's playing, so who do you sit especially knowing you already have to sit someone with Knox likely being back this week.

Yes. He actually deserves more touches. Big, powerful, and fast. Go with Cook and Johnson for a game and see what happens.

[NewEra]

Ty johnson >>>> fat Lenny.

Latavious Murray >>>> fat Lenny

 

[John from Riverside]

Probably here just for injury insurance

This is where I am at too.  I’m still for activating him, but I’d hate for it to be at the expense of Johnson as he has been a nice surprise since Brady took over.  Hell I didn’t even know he was a Bill until I saw him take a snap against the Jets.

 

Bring him in but I think we need all 3 of Murray, Cook, and Johnson active too as he is still learning the offense.  I’d rather see him get used in a way where if it’s working we can keep it up, but if he’s got some rust we can pepper him in rather than have to depend on him.

[C.Biscuit97]

He’s really not that good. Pretty sure he was in his early 30s in college. He’s had maybe one good season in the nfl. And taking away touches from cook is a bad thing.

 

his name is way bigger than his game. Plus he cried about being cold when it was 50 degrees to make Buffalo look bad!

For real, that dude runs like he's angry at the ground. Dunno why it took a while for him to get some snaps. I blame Dorsey.

[Freddie's Dead]

Yes.

[RobbRiddick]

Get Vaughn up...

[MJS]

Fournette is not that good. I'd rather see Ty Johnson get opportunities.

[Dillenger4]

We need wayyyy more Ty Johnson. He is exactly what Freddie was. remember Fred was on the PS and every year, in pre-season, the dude looked like a stud/ "Play him" we all yelled. But nope, back to PS. Until one year they played him. He looked great. Played him again, he looked great. Until one day, he was the starting stud for our beloved Bills. That is what is happening with Ty. Let Joe cook and get Ty involved more. GO BILLS!

He's just a poor man's Murray, and we already have Murray. a 3rd string RB won't be the difference maker for us.
