The Bills Blog Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Think about this: Gore started the first game, Shady started the second game, and McDermott says we'll get an extended look at both of them tonight and then the other backs will fill in from there. This sounds a lot like a winner-take-all RB competition, kind of like the QB competition was run last year by McDermott in preseason. Is it becoming likely that the loser of this battle will be cut, leaving only one as the veteran RB? Maybe the Bills kept them both imagining that one might get hurt and the problem would solve itself. But now with both healthy, one will have to go the hard way. Call me crazy, but I have a feeling both of these guys aren't on the roster after cut-down day.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 no but I bet they'll work real good together..
zow2 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I think McCoy gets showcased tonight. They will use him in all facets early, and then hopefully he’s successful and the Bills get a trade partner tomorrow for his services
GoBills808 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Not exactly. I do think Gore is more likely than McCoy to be on the roster come week one though.
aceman_16 Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 They have VERY different running styles and bring different talents to the O....so no.

I don't think he will be too pleased that they move the guy he signed on to play with before the season starts. McCoy is not going anywhere........
thenorthremembers Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Yes. They arent keeping both of them. Id be willing to bet it.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Well McCoy hasn't been doing anything so far in the game to make them not consider cutting/trading him. May actually come down to how Yeldon plays. Go with Gore, Yeldon and the rookie.
