Shady will play through any injury...he’s tough. But yep...I agree. I think the Bills need to move next year. Good news - you can find a decent RB very easily

ALLEN1QB Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 McCoy is a total bust only in it for a paycheck no heart no skills just that stupid little stutter step and then run to the sidelines never liked the guy never will
racketmaster Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Bills need to move on from McCoy. They need to add at least 2 backs and 1 needs to be an explosive pass catcher. Look what McKenzie and Foster have done for the wr corps and offense. They gain separation and can make explosive plays and we are talking about an undrafted guy and a player signed off a practice squad. Bills need to make upgrading the rb position a priority. McCoy being on this team next year will impede the progress we can make as an offense. Because of his stature he would require a certain amount of touches whether he deserves it or not. This is an easy decision and a position that can be easily upgraded without having to spend too much draft capital and free agent dollars.

Look, he's on the downside of his career, so he's lost a half-step, and he's playing behind one of (if not THE) worst run-blocking OL units in the game. What are you expecting? 4 1

Shady and that 9 mil cap hit will be gone resulting in 2.5 mil dead cap and 6.5 cap savings. 7 minutes ago, thebandit27 said: I guess you forgot that they guy had 75 yards on 19 carries with a sprained ankle vs. Jax in the playoffs.

Going into this year with that o line, no wrs, a rookie QB, this is pretty much what I expected. Paying McCoy 9 mil, highest of any rb in the league, was completely pointless this year but they probably couldn t have traded that contract if they had wanted to.

They certainly could have traded Shady, but they didn’t get the return they were looking for. my guess is that teams offered a 6th round pick and the Bills probably wanted a 4th

The dude is ancient for a RB, cut him a break. He's hit the wall, but I don't think he's dogging it. 2 1
MrEpsYtown Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I think the run game needs to be revamped more than anything. I thought that we were supposed to return to a more power game under Daboll, none of that has happened. There has been no pulling and power plays. Just a lot of inside and outside zone.

JinxedBill1 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I think Marcus Murphy needs more touches. He hits the hole quicker and has speed to get positive yards most every time he touches the ball. Ivory is a great number 2. Id give Murphy the chance the next 3 games to prove what he can do. We're doing that at all the other positions already Im in the minority who thinks McCoy isn't done he is just running hesitantly. Too much dancing and ducking away from contact. I think once the offensive line gets better, he will as well. Edited December 10, 2018 by JinxedBill1
Luka Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Bryce Love, Bennie Snell Jr. or Lamical Perine would be the backs I'd target in the draft. Maybe even take a flyer on Jordan Scarlett if he slips. Need a 1, 2 punch. McCoy will have to find somewhere else to get his 12k. 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 What possible reason would there be to not instant IR him regardless? Just end the misery
