26CornerBlitz Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Here's the ball - RUN! Yep that's all that's involved. No blitz pickup, no understanding the offense, terminology, etc. Just run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax - just having a little fun. Though of all positions, the easiest to get acclimated to, no?

Wayne Arnold Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 McCoy has missed 5 games in the last 2 seasons and should arguably have missed more McCoy is also 29 I'm not all "oh woe is me, we dumped Jon Williams" because I don't know how good he is, but if we're dumping young, cheap players who are talented enough to start for other teams, it's a problem. Every team needs backups, depth, and rising talent. So now we're pretending that Jonathan Williams is the Broncos starting running back? I love this forum.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) So now we're pretending that Jonathan Williams is the Broncos starting running back? I love this forum. Lack of reading comprehension increases forum love. Alert the media Who have they dumped that is talented anough to start for other teams? The Broncos didn't even add JWill to the roster, much less make him the starter. Don't know yet. We'll find out during the season. Williams is possible.

Doc Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 They can allow him time to become acclimated to their system before using a roster spot. He can learn that on the active roster. He could easily have taken the roster spot of De'Angelo Henderson, a former 6th rounder who didn't look so hot during pre-season. As for the move, I'd have kept JWill. He's cheap and young. But whether he turns out to be anything is pure speculation at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Don't know yet. We'll find out during the season. Williams is possible. True, the Broncos first four running backs could get hurt, which could result in Jonathan Williams actually starting a game or two in December. Then you can resume your crying. Oh wait, you never stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 53 pages on a running back with less than 100 CAREER yards and one career TD. I wonder if Pats* fans even know who their 3rd string running back is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Since he's now considered a veteran (right?), could they be stashing him on the PS until the start of the season so his salary isn't guaranteed? After the start of the season, they can then place him on the active roster without monetary risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Bills are trying to do the same with backups, but have a lead horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
