  1. Yeah Thurman Thomas literally changed the way running backs were used. His dual threat ability helped pave the way for the likes of Marshall Faulk or even LT. Thurman was the best all purpose back in his era. There's no way you can compare what we've seen from Marcus Murphy to him, no matter how much I like the way Murphy runs. Lets see if this guy can actually make the final roster first before we put him in the same sentence as Thurman Thomas.
  2. Other than him spelling his name wrong Its Reich everyone... Frank Reich
  3. The playoff drought is over, but the drought for not winning a playoff game continues....and lets not even talk about the drought for a SuperBowl Championship... Hopefully that one ends soon!
  4. He was always there to make the tackle, even though it was 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. I liked Preston, seemed like a high character kinda guy & i believe we asked way too much of him. But the only way this Defense would miss Preston now would be for him to be the backup. Our LB corps is faster & T.Edmunds's potential vs Preston is well, heck its not even fair to compare the 2. Skies the limit for Edmunds. Preston? Well he's in Ohio. Best of luck!
  5. Considering all we've seen of Allen thus far is him playing with our 3rd stringers, I think it's too early to say he has accuracy issues. Every QB does to some extent, Allen included, but how many of those inaccurate throws were due to pressure from missed blocking assignments or from a WR slowing down on a route? Allen flat out made some throws I haven't seen completed before, such as that scramble & throw off his back foot to Khari Lee, or that bullet in the endzone to Ray Ray. Before we make judgements on his abilities, lets see more of what he can do with our #1 receivers & OL. But yes, proper coaching on a QB's release, footwork, presnap & post snap reads can all make a positive difference.
  6. from the reports out of camp, Ford has been doing pretty good. But practice is one thing & actual game conditions is another. The line in the 2nd half didn't play up to the level of the 1's & 2's, so maybe that effected Ford's play. If anything, if he doesn't make the team which at this point it looks like a long shot, maybe they sign him to the practice squad. Still too early to tell though where all the chips are gonna lie. These next preseason games are gonna be interesting thats for sure
  7. lol anything would be an upgrade to Tolbert, heck we could argue that you would be. I understand the signing, it makes sense, but for the money, for his age, for what he brings on the field, i think u can get equal production from a younger back at a fraction of the cost. Marcus Murphy showed that last night.
  8. Yeah for sure, no way Ivory gets cut with that contract. I pretty much think we roll with those 3 u mentioned.
  9. If i was questioning the signing from when he was 1st signed then that would be a no
  10. What are the odd's of finding a franchise QB in the 1st place? Not very good. I think with each QB you need to evaluate them individually. Some QB's can improve & some don't
  11. I personally don't see what Ivory brings that Murphy doesnt already do better. Its gonna take some pretty good play from Ivory for me to change my mind on that signing.
  12. NO... we don't need another thread. We've had way too many threads about Tyrod over the years. He's been talked about to death. No more threads on Tyrod... PLEASE!
  13. yeah I don't think you ever draft a RB that high. Theres just too many other options available, better save that draft capital for another position of need.
  14. its a beautiful thing isn't it? And another throw over the middle. We've had more throws over the middle downfield in this game than in all of last year with Tyrod lol
  15. I think as a coach you'd like to get some chemistry going for your starters. Set them up for success & then evaluate what you have down the depth chart
  16. It helps having a QB who gets the ball out on time as well. 1, 2, 3 & boom its out. No more school lot football this year. While it may have been exciting to watch at times, you just can't run a modern day NFL offense with any consistency without sound fundamental football.
  17. idk if i ever heard someone make that comparison before. EJ might have looked ok in preseason, but he never looked like Tom Brady lol
  18. I tried sending you a private message to help you with your problem but it says you don't accept any messages. If you'd like the means then feel free to message me. GO BILLS!
