UB2SF Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Didn't see this posted elsewhere -- mods, feel free to merge. Great film study by Baldinger on Singletary's performance against the Texans. Bills Future Looks Bright with Singletary at Running Back | Baldy's Breakdowns 1 1
Da webster guy Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 That one play where he appeared dead in the water with two tacklers around him in the flat and he got away has made its way around the internet quite well. 4 1
Dablitzkrieg Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 This kid is so special and is is downright criminal that he was not used MORE in the game 18 1
Seasons1992 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Dan Patrick (famous ESPN guy reminder) is deeply in love with Motor. Talked about him a lot over the past 6 weeks.
Dopey Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Because I trust Beane, I was torn when the pick was made. In between " WTH" and "I trust Beane". I trust Beane. 1 1

I think the coaches are going to be caught in a constant no-win situation with him. We lose a great play maker when he is not on the field but when in pass pro he is going to get Josh killed. I don't know that all the coaching in the world is going to enable a guy who is 5'-7" to take on a blitzing backer at 6'-2", 245. Physics. Edited January 9, 2020 by Mickey 2
BillsVet Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Beane mentioned that Singletary's setback with the hammy was unfortunate. Have to wonder if he ever fully healed and if not, they limited his touches for a reason other than Daboll forgot him. And I could understand that reason given the OC's penchant for the aerial game.
John from Riverside Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 This is the thing with Devin YES he is a stud But I also understand why they dont work horse him......the guy is not very big. I would really like to see them pair Devin up with a huge beastly breakaway speed back this next season......not to steal his carries just to keep him fresh. I think Devin is special what a awesome 3rd round pick 8

I think they went to Gore out of fear. They took the conservative approach, believing they can trust the vet more with ball security. I also think that's why they went conservative at points with the lead during the season, fear of Allen turning it over-- more so that a hardened conservative philosophy.

If you count up all the near misses Allen had in terms of turnovers it is scary, he easily could have had three fumbles and 3 picks, one a pick 6. Allen had almost twice as many fumbles this year as the entire New Orleans Saint team had in total turnovers

He has all offseason to work on that and not needing to learn a new playbook and terminology he'll have the time. I have no doubt he'll do just that. Edited January 9, 2020 by LOVEMESOMEBILLS
Rc2catch Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Singletary is a shifty guy and gets the job done. I don’t think he’s capable of being a workhorse kinda back though. 25-30 touches a game might have him out of the league in 2-3 years the way we use him. I didn’t think he was capable of those really tough yards he’s getting and I’m 110% impressed with his rookie season. He has a really bright future so hopefully we get someone to compliment his game and can have a solid duo 3
ticketssince61 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Has great moves and power, but lacks breakaway speed - so never will be an elite RB

Not saying Singletary can be that type of back but that you don't need elite speed to be a dynamic back. 1

Same as Henry and better than Chubb, Elliott, Carson & MacCaffrey. 3 3

I don’t think it’s wise for any running back to get more than 400 touches in a season. They burn out too fast that way. 25 touches a game isn’t bad if used in the passing game. We don’t use him much in the pass game. 25 runs is 400 carries in a season. Guys are never quite the same with those kinds of workloads in today’s nfl
