Something I've been DYING to see from our starting RBs. Every year you see Rookie RBs come in and dominate. It's been a bit of a disappointment that ours have not had that success. Against a humiliated, demoralized team that had already given up. These coaches see the players every day in practice. If they believed he was better than the other two you best believe he would be playing. Our gameplan isn't going to be to hand the ball off to anyone, it's to put the ball in JA17's hands as much as possible. Edited January 8, 2021 by Big Turk

He isn't fast, he doesn't really break tackles. He is descent in space I will give him that. True that he is averaging 4.4, but I do think that is a bit flawed since he doesn't get many 3rd and short carries (which would bring down his YPC), and he only has a total of 156 attempts on the year. Google where Devon ranks in YPC historically for the Bills,

But his decisiveness popped a bit and it was refreshing to see. The coach's reaction to his first run and the team's reaction to his TDs tells me that he has some fans on the team. *shrug* but I'm a fan reading imagined tea leaves and will trust the coach's decision concerning this situation. Maybe he's another Wade (can he be called up for the post season??!! /sarc) But man it was nice watching AW run.

If he gets 20 touches a game, and a lot of 3rd and short touches, does he get 4.4 YPC this year? Not even close IMO

Jauronimo Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Have we even seen Williams in pass protection? For that reason alone I wouldn't risk it. Moss and Singletary have both been great in protection all year. This is a pass first team. First priority for any RB seeing the field is pick up the blitz on passing downs. If they happen to gain a few yards, bonus. Edited January 8, 2021 by Jauronimo 1 2

Does he get a second shot this week against the colts? We have had some struggles running the ball this year at times and he seemed to really get downhill with some speed. I know there are other players who could get activated ahead of him like Stills etc...Just a thought.. Go Bills!!! Two words: Rob Johnson

Not even close IMO Not a stats guy per say, but both of our RBs are doing their jobs in the RB by tandem scheme that the coaches want, they are both likely average in what they do, and that is just fine for our pass first offense, no need to talk down about our guys, jmo, Go Bills!!!

Fair enough, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one sir. I don’t think criticizing a player is wrong of me though. We are fans, that’s the beauty of it as we all are allowed our opinions. I really hope he succeeds, I just think he is underperforming IMO.

We aren't that team anymore that goes run, run, pass.

Ya Digg? Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I’m having major flashbacks to the whole Doug Flutie/Rob Johnson debacle

Bills RB's average 4.5 YPC, slightly above average. The Bills are mostly disinterested in running, they want to throw. 1
ALLEN1QB Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I don’t think so but I hear he has an appointment to get sized for a ring.

Could be that you are correct, players have ups and downs, Moss fumbled and cost a TD, and was benched, it’s not optimal, but we got past it, look at Lee Smith, he gets a ton of flack, yet he scores TDs and helps with O line blocking, is he a special football athlete? No he is not, but we would be worse off without him, folk tend to be far to, “he’s good or he’s bad”, when in fact it’s mostly in the middle. Go Bills!!!

You’re correct that they want to throw, but There’s going to be a time in this playoffs if the bills are going to make a deep run where they will need to run the ball effectively.

Go watch the last 7 minutes and 11 seconds of the Pittsburgh game where we literally ran the clock out on them.
HOUSE Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) The Dolphins were still using the starters when Antonio Williams crushed them. I see no way McDemott will sit the guy. Keep in mind Antionio Williams is an excellent Special teams player. Was Captain at NC He probably won't play much but if Buffalo is safely ahead ??? .. Edited January 8, 2021 by HOUSE 1
