Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Just heard on Sunday Night Football that they said the Bills called about McCoy? This is the first time I've heard this and have heard it was the other way around. Still not in favor of this trade as a shifty back can be found much cheaper (we should have went after Sproles). Of course the way Rex is coaching we would be whining about how bad Alonzo would be playing.

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 If we had a QB that could throw a swing pass McCoy would have another 50-75 yards receiving a game.

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 McCoy is a special weapon in the receiving game. Most NFL backs cannot do what McCoy can do in space and in the screen game.

Kiko: Games missed in NFL career due to injuries: 21 of 39 Shady: Games missed in NFL career due to injuries: 8 of 103 Sure, Shady gets banged up. And he suffered a catastrophic leg injury in high school. That was nine years ago. Kiko has suffered three of those in the past five years. I think Shady has another three years in him. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see that being the case for Kiko. You bet I make that trade, despite the fact that the wife and I have matching Kiko jerseys. Edited October 26, 2015 by Felonious Monk
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Wit this crap offensive line no running back can prosper and with a deer in headlights QB throwing at people's feet what do ya expect from anyone

I'd rather have McCoy than Sproles and Kiko on IR at this point. Before you say 'who knew Kiko would get hurt?, I'm just doing this revisionist thing like you are.

I wouldn't say "knew," but I had a high degree of suspicion that he would. That he got hurt that soon was more surprising. And let me clarify my comments on Sproles. As a complementary RB, he's fine. But he's not a featured RB and you still need a workhorse. He is what Spiller is/likely will become.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 3.9YPC, 60.8 YPG, 1TD and doesn't have a run longer than 20 yards. Yeah Whaley!!! That is a productive 25 million going to a RB.

Referring to McCoy as simply a "shifty back" that can be found for much cheaper is really ignoring the reality of what McCoy has accomplished in the NFL.

For what he is doing in Buffalo can be done cheaper and perhaps even better!!
PO16FFS Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 McCoy finally seems healthy and the explosiveness he has is sick. Im a huge Fred Jackson fan, but Fred has nothing on McCoy. Yesterday on Sunday Night Football I saw Kiko on the sidelines with no equipment! Actually he let me see him with no equipment.

He's been injured and you know that. Lets see how it plays out. Percy/Watkins/Clay/McCoy have all underperformed for various reasons: injuries to them, or injuries to their QB, and/or injuries to the OL.
