He is not as fast as Shady.....but he gets to his top speed very quickly which means he has excellent burst. What I see are a lot more productive shorter runs.....wont break games open with one run but when you look back at the box score he will be a monster

gomper Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 I took him in the 11th round of our FF draft. A few people rolled their eyes. We'll see who gets the last laugh.
Rocket94 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Welcome Devin Singletary. Time to turn the page and let the process take its course.

There are different types of #1 RB's. He's much more of a Barry Sanders shifty type than a Jim Brown power type. Actually, he is nearly identical to Barry Sanders in every way except one: speed. Barry Sanders ran a sub-4.4 40-yd dash in his prime. Devin Singletary clocked in at 4.66, which is atrocious.
GunnerBill Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I am still nervous about Singletary's capacity to be a true 3 down NFL back. I guess we are about to find out. 10 hours ago, NJKBillsfan said: Is Singletary really a #1 back? Undersized, lacks power, and slow as *****. IDK. I don't know either and I watched a lot of tape on him pre-draft. I saw him as a change of pace guy and certainly initially as a 3rd down back. He pass protects pretty well for a guy coming out, I was never worried about his ability as a receiver despite FAU not using him that way and he has some elusiveness. I mainly worry about him on early downs when teams are keying in on the run.

Zeke Elliots first year, JG sat Zeke every third series for a number of reasons. I like this approach

Thanks for never ending enthusiasm !! RB1 = the player who leads the team in carries. Not who lines up the first play of the game. Do you think a 36 year old or a rookie will lead the team in carries? 1

DCbillsfan Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Between the 20's there's going to be a lot of Singletary. Inside the 20's and short yardage is where we'll see more of a mix of Singletary and Gore
oldmanfan Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I’m still surprised by Shady, but I wonder if part of it is wanting more north-south runners to avoid putting Allen in 2nd or 3rd and long situations. Shady can break stuff off but also when he dances can lose yards. 1

The rookie is only going to get better and McCoy is only going to get worse. Singletary is a starting NFL RB right now. He is that talented and everyone saw it. 1
