sunshynman Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 LOL. Look at all the trash calling him slow! I'd bet all the Bitcoin that he would beat anyone on this board by 20 on the 40 dash!

He wasn't the starter by the end of last year before Moss broke his ankle. After the fumble in San Fran (which went against Josh officially but was on Devin) Moss had the lions share of the workload until he got hurt.

BADOLBILZ Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Mango said: Don't get me wrong, some of the issue most definitely comes from the OL. I just think it is much less than 80%. I agree, the line is much better suited for pass pro. If you're OL is built to be the best at OL, a slow, hesitating, non-physical back, is going to have a very tough time no matter how many people he can make miss in a phone booth. Again.......4.8 yards per carry on over 300 carries. It's not a 1990's RB room........the talent isn't at that position anymore.......but of the group he is the most traditionally "talented" of their RB's. Instincts, balance, elusiveness. He was not an ideal fit for their preferred run scheme last season but still was an above average producer on the ground. His offseason work seems to have been geared to becoming better within this scheme, one-cut and go, more like Breida/Moss/Williams. The run blocking is the much bigger issue. By the end of the season both Singletary and Moss were so accustomed to being met by an unblocked defender at the LOS that they were starting to anticipate the hit and how to avoid it and that hesitation started costing them yardage. Their trust in the OL was justifiably very low. 3 1 1

I'm stunned that so many think that was a game changing play. Did it suck? Sure. Would that have changed the end result? Hell no. Actually scrap that, I'm not stunned because its just what we do here but thank god the organization isn't the same way anymore. How many years did we suffer through front office morons thinking that investing draft capital in the RB position was a good way to go? 1
TheBrownBear Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Lol. He doesn't look that big guys. This is generally what moderately fit guys look like immediately after or near the end of a weight workout. It's called a pump. 2
TheFunPolice Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Someone (I forget who the guest was, so I apologize) on WGR during One Bills Live before the draft was saying that Singletary had been working on his explosiveness and speed in the offseason, and he had gone from wanting the Bills to draft a RB to 100% on board with Singletary based on the results of his offseason work. I found that interesting... They were talking about whether you could really improve speed, and I guess (based on the conversation) that guys CAN add a little bit of speed in terms of top-end but really add explosiveness, which is more important 90% of the time.

Singletary did pretty well in what limited opportunity he had. Was the best RB on the roster all year but people always find something to complain about. Just look at this thread.

Now he simultaneously sucks but yet is also valuable enough to trade for draft capital. Weird! 1

The General Managers on TBD typically think that various players suck and can be traded for 2nd round picks. At the same time, we believe we can acquire talented players off other rosters for a 5th or 6th rounder. 1 3

Regardless of what we all think about him I think that the takeaway from what we've heard about his offseason is that he's working his tail off and trying to get better. Whether it translates on the field is yet to be seen but I would hope that we can all appreciate his commitment! 2 2
