If Singletary is gonna be sharing time as well I don't see enough carries to go around... Edited July 6, 2019 by DefenseWins
H2o Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Yeah, I can't see the offense being that run heavy to be honest and we have 4 backs that are all gonna get touches in various ways.
Seasons1992 Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 I guarantee he will. Been saying it for a couple months now.
Patrick Duffy Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Would be great for him if he does. Hopefully the new additions to Oline can help make it happen. Hope all the RBs put up some decent numbers this season.
Buddy Hix Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Anything is possible, would have a good shot if Beane trades Shady during camp.
Dr.Sack Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 I bet Gore moves past Emmitt Smith in rushing yards in the next 4 seasons.

Someone is not going to get touches from week to week. Could be any of the 4. You're not gonna pull a particular back when the guy playing is slicing up a defense. I do feel Shady and Gore will get the Lions share with TJ and Motor sprinkled on 3rd downs. In case of injury it's good to be this deep.

NoSaint Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 4 hours ago, Limeaid said: He needs 137 yards to make it in #3 in rushing. If the Bills give him the ball when teams are in prevent defense mode he will get it easily. The lowest yards per carry for him has been 3.7 so he would need around 38 carries unless they plan on making him the goal line back. I think he will make it to #3 and if it is close the Bills will try to make it during a home game. He could even make it to #2 if Bills decide to use Shady as receiving back in 2 back set as NE does. Rank Player Att Years Tm 1 Emmitt Smith+ 4,409 (-1027) 1990-2004 2TM 2 Walter Payton+ 3,838 (-456) 1975-1987 chi 3 Curtis Martin+ 3,518 (-136) 1995-2005 2TM 4 Jerome Bettis+ 3,479 (-97) 1993-2005 2TM 5 Frank Gore 3,382 2005-2018 3TM 6 LaDainian Tomlinson+ 3,174 2001-2011 2TM You have attempts, not yards, highlighted. Didnt ring odd to see all time leaders around 3,500?

Doc Brown Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) He's close. He needs 522 yards to pass Barry Sanders. Just shows you how good Barry was retiring at 30. I don't think he gets there as there's too many mouths to feed. Edited July 7, 2019 by Doc Brown

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Gore’s carry is so weird. He always used to get hurt and now he never misses a game and has played super long. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of player much, less a rb, becoming more durable with age.

That was when Franco was going to pass his yardage. As Franco was by some considered a chicken out there, frequently running out of bounds to avoid a hit and faking injury, the topic of Brown returning arose.
