CuddyDark Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Please cut him and get 2 or 3 young backs in here.

Over the hill? Maybe, it's hard to tell.
Helpmenow Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I think he see what is next and says I’m gonna shut it down.

buffaloboyinATL Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 The national media seems more concerned about this than we do.
ghostwriter Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I hope we move away from having a feature back and simply go RB by committee. I'd rather have the 55th and 56th rated RB signed to 4.5m each than to have a top 10 RB for 10m. Cost less money, more production and if one of your backs go down you just increase the work load on the other one. More carries to play with too. As much as I like LeVeon Bell I'd rather pair TJ Yeldon up with Tevin Coleman for way more production and less money. Grab two #2RBs and just rotate them.
Nihilarian Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Man, I'm so glad the fans have no say in the roster moves. LeSean McCoy is an elite RB that opponents hate to play against. Voted by his own peers as a top 30 player. The guy was injured yesterday. No back is going to run well behind that craptastic line, at least the way they were playing Sunday. Todd Gurley would have a tough time getting yards behind that line. Give a healthy Shady a solid line with decent blocking and its off to the races almost every play. Besides that he is still a big threat as a receiver even though Daboll doesn't utilize him like Dennison did in 2017 when he led the team in receptions.
brianb386 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Since McCoy has been on the team he has basically been our entire offense, until now. I agree the time is right to move on.

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 Since there are only 3 games remaining..whats the point in putting him back out there? Hello, Keith Ford... Edited December 10, 2018 by Pablocruise 1
davspo Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Thank you for a couple of good years Shady. It was fun. We could have lived with a little less drama, but hey, it's been real. 1
LSHMEAB Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 McCoy is a back who's game is predicated on quick cuts, agility. The head is willing but the body is no longer able. He is no longer a plus back, but it has nothing to do with effort or lack thereof. I think it's over for Shady.

McCoy played injured in a playoff game less than a year ago. 1 hour ago, Nihilarian said: Man, I'm so glad the fans have no say in the roster moves.

Get an oline and Shady will be over 1000 yards and 4.4 YPC. Edited December 10, 2018 by Dadonkadonk
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 2 hours ago, PIP said: Thurman Thomas was the man this guy is a chump. Not even in top 10 of Bills backs Thurman had a line that blocked well and a QB that had receivers to throw to. McCoy has neither. This year especially. Losing Wood and Crazy-Incognito made a huge impact to the run lanes. While I haven't been a huge McCoy fan, he has proven to be a good back and has made some great plays in a Bills uniform. His age is now starting to show and it's amplified when there's crap OL ahead of him. Cut him some slack there, slick!
Uncle Joe Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 I think Shady has been a good running back for the Bills. However, this year he has reminded me of Franco Harris' last years in Seattle running out of bounds to save his body. But with the run blocking by this OL it is hard to fault him 100%. And despite The Process someone else will step up and provide some off season drama once he is gone.
HalftimeAdjustment Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 His terrible year is probably more on the OL and coaching than his age, but his age isn't going to improve. Hopefully the other 2 will. I would not put any star back behind this OL.
The_Dude Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Put him on IR and sign some kid off a practice squad.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 3 games back and JA already leads the team in rushing? Yeah, I’d say the previous recent abundance of threads questioning whether or not Shady has hit the RB wall or is well on the way to it, unfortunately will probably age well. A finger can definitely be pointed at the Oline along the way, but the eye test has been pretty consistent on him.
