He's such a curious player.  Bad on the stat sheet but no one gets 2 yards better.

He channeled shades of Lynch on our GW drive. He was punishing defenders and picking up chunks

I don't recall many people hating the pickup. He's certainly not in his prime but he serves a very useful role  of being in a tough inside runner tough situations. He's the type of rugged player you want on your roster because he is a no frills player who understands his role but more importantly fulfills his role.

Never understood why that signing was SO unpopular.  Ivory has a lot of miles on him, but he showed he still has some left today.  His runs were important and his physicality helped equal the tone that the D set.

I admit I thought we overpaid on the signing. I actually liked the signing as I thought the team could have either paid less for him or found a big back like that for less. Either way he has proven to be a good complement to Shady.

Thank you.  No one hated the pickup.  Some said we overpaid, which is a fair comment.

He was a 30 year old running back coming off of 2 seasons where he looked shot, add in a long injury history and people were confused as to why the Bills paid 3 million for him. Clearly he still has some gas in the tank left. But I was among those that didn't get the price the team paid for him.

When your passing game is rudimentary at best and your offense centers around the running game this complimentary back is not overpaid. I'm not sure if he got a bonus because if not then it is structured as a one year deal. This was a good pickup from what he adds to our basic offense. And considering that it was also a reasonable value addition.
