Mckenzie isnt great, but he runs those jet sweeps which are pretty effective. I'd like to see yeldon active. He seems to be open on the screens (at least this past week) and those can kill a defense. McKenzie has 16 first downs on 35 offensive touches this year. He absolutely plays an important role on this offense. 1

That guy can single handedly lose you a playoff game with his propensity to fumble. He fumbles every 40-50 touches, defenses know it, and he is due. Gore is solid. Go with the solid guy. Go play playoff football on the road and work to get out of there with a win. Do not open it up and turn it over 2-3 times in the process. Sure fire way to lose a road playoff game. Yeldon has a total of six (6) fumbles for his entire career in the NFL. Ya need to rethink your notions on this.
LeGOATski Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 The best thing about Knox and Duke is they just manhandle DBs. That can really psyche out a secondary and I think it's great for the passing game. It pays dividends late in the game. I really hope Duke is part of the offense for the playoffs. 1
ArtVandalay Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 When switching from playoff caliber to championship caliber McDermott obviously knew this meant moving to a heavy dose of TJ Yeldon and Tommy Sweeney. 1

Both guys have to be active and used. It's do or die and these 2 offer offensive plays we've rarely used this year.
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 13 hours ago, I am the egg man said: Gore: 45 fumbles on 4016 touches = a fumble every 89 touches. How Yeldon is deemed a proven fumbler over Gore escapes me. Yeldon averages 5 yds per touch, Gore 4.7. Yeldon could help too. Recency bias. Fans see preseason only. I've been guilty of it also
DuckyBoys Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I'm not going to hold my breath were talking about the same coach that went into the year starting Nathan Peterman. Rasslers are stubborn dont ya know
zow2 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 One thing is for sure, if they score 17 or fewer vs Houston the Bills will lose. I agree they need points... probably at least 24 to win this one.
folz Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I agree that I'd like to see Duke dress over Foster. I'll take a little hit on special teams for more potency on offense. Knox and Kroft will get the majority of any TE targets, so playing Sweeney probably doesn't help much. Smith hasn't had a penalty in a while and is a very good blocker. So... I wouldn't mind seeing Yeldon get more touches, but if you don't dress Gore, who is your short yardage, power back. I'm not saying that Gore has consistently succeeded in that role, but can Yeldon be that guy? I'm not sure. And most of what Yeldon does, Singletary can do. So, as long as Singletary stays healthy, there wouldn't be that many touches for Yeldon.

Exactly, for a guy who catches 40-50 balls a year @ 9yds a pop, we have drastically underused him in the passing game where we could use it most. These types of plays move the chains and open up some one on one coverage on deeper routes. 1

RiotAct Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I agree, put Duke Williams out there and go for the jugular!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 They’re not going to change things up. The key is going to be executing better and getting into a better rhythm for both players and coaches. I’m hoping we can convert on a a few big plays, and just be in better third down to go situations.
JaCrispy Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I agree but unfortunately going for the jugular is not the McD way...frankly, I don’t think he knows how... 1

Or, more accurately, Yeldon fumbles once every 111 touch compared to Gore's once per 89 touches.
