Beast Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Who cares how long they last? Ride that horse and do not give him a second contract. Tough league to be a running back in. Especially one like Henry.
SoCal Deek Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 The Bills better get a running game in the next six months or they’re going nowhere. You cannot be one dimensional in the NFL for very long. The defenses are too good, and will figure you out before the coin toss. 1
papazoid Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I'm confused....this graph shows yac/att , "yards after contact per rushing attempt" (henry ranks 5th) singletary is ranked 3rd & moss 15th....???? (thats good) wouldn't that then be an indictment on the bills Oline ?? (thats bad) https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/rushing_advanced.htm Edited February 1, 2021 by papazoid

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 While I take all passing Numbers now with a huge grain of salt because of the rules, what Henry is doing is simply amazing. Imagine if we went 4 wide and had a monster like that to go with Allen in the backfield? How would stop that offense? it’s so weird that with all the terrible Bills teams we have had, they always found rbs and now it’s one of the weakest positions on the team.
Charles Romes Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 With all that he gets totally shut down in the playoffs. One and done.

Thats currently what Titans do. And they get beat every year by the ravens and kc in the playoffs

By one of them, sure. And so did we. I think that shows it's better to have a top five QB with a sufficient running game than have a top 3 RB and pretty good passing game. But imagine a top five QB and a good (not even great) running game. You might just have the Chiefs.

He needs a full head of steam and to get to the second level in order to be truly dangerous. I don’t think he create enough for himself. At least when I’ve watched him play, I’ve been underwhelmed by his ability in the backfield to turn something into nothing. He’s truly fun to watch in the open field, but he doesn’t get there without help. You can probably make an argument like that related to just about any RB. That’s why I just don’t find significant value in a RB that can’t be flexed out wide and provide in a variety of ways. Give me a McCaffrey, Kamara, Gibson, Hines or Ekeler type RB all day that can create in different scenarios without the consistent dependence on their offensive line. I would never touch a RB in the first two rounds, and I’d be hard pressed to grab one in RD3 unless they can do multiple things. Oddly enough the dual purpose skill set seems to be undervalued across the league, but those types of RBs are the most valuable in a modern offense. Good point, but yeah, I think you can say that about any running back. I remember when Lynch played for the Bills, there was a stat showing that in his final two seasons he was hit in the backfield or at the LOS at a higher rate than any RB in the league. His ypc suffered and Bills fans thought he wasn't that good, but obviously he was.

I don’t think he was as bad as he was in Buffalo, but he wasn’t as good as he was in Seattle. I’d still rather have a guy who can create for himself and isn’t dependent on their offensive line. Creating for yourself doesn’t require you to run either, pass catching helps. I think a back like Lynch and Henry is really useful, but I wouldn’t build my offense around them or place emphasis on them.
