Victory Formation Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Singletary drag 4-5 defenders on his back for an extra 4 or 5 yards. I think Singletary is a tougher runner than we think. I have no reservations whatsoever about plugging him in on the goal line. I’m not against drafting a power back but I don’t view Singletary as strictly a scat back or finesse back, he’s pretty strong. I think Singletary can get you the tough yards. 2 1
Hardhatharry Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Still need a second RB... Injuries happen all the time and Singletary has shown to get injured. Edited February 20, 2020 by Hardhatharry 1
Buffalo Junction Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I don’t think we need a pure power back. However, a bigger back that runs decisively and can catch would be ideal. 2

RyanC883 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 That's a good point. I think we need a guy that can pickup a goalline yard with ease (think Henry). But Allen can do that, so I'd be fine with another RB who complements Singletary. Whether that's a speedier guy, or another shifty-singletary guy, or a brusier, I'd be fine. 1

njbuff Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Getting a RB in the 3rd/4th round in this draft to back up Singletary is more than fine.
aristocrat Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 we need another rb maybe with more speed than devin has. 2
H2o Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 There are numerous RB's in this draft that we could snag anywhere from rounds 2-5 I believe. I still want AJ Dillon out of the bunch though and he will likely be able to be had on day 3 unless he runs an insane 40 time. He has pretty nimble feet for a big guy, can run people over, throw them off, bounce through pretty much any arm tackle, and has breakaway speed when he hits the open field. He would be a power back, but not just that per say. 3
thebandit27 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 No, we need a speed back. Singletary can get the tough yards when he needs to; we need a guy that’s a threat to score whenever he touches the ball. Paging Javon Leake...

Bleedbuffaloblue Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Think we just need another solid RB to spell Singletary. Would be nice if this RB had somewhat of a different running style than Devin, but main thing he needs to be consistently effective in gaining yards whatever that style is. Just don’t think Yeldon fits that description. This second RB also needs to be able to catch the ball out of the backfield, can’t be one dimensional. 1

Expand Singletary is unique. He’s a one stepper without a top gear. Just untraditional talent that can ball. I think he can be supplemented with a speed back or a power back. It’s really going to come down to what the bills think they want/need from the position.

He also averaged a broken tackle every 7.6 rushing attempts; good for 5th in the league. He’s a banger with some elusiveness and great instincts; we need a home run threat to complement him. 3 2
