Singletary Appreciation Thread

[Hapless Bills Fan]

Watching Cover1's piece on the Miami-Bills game

 

The point of the clip was a 3rd down dual crossing route which Beasley was not able to haul in and convert

  I noticed this:

 

That's Devin Singletary there, knocking a 6'1" 230 lb LB ass-over-teakettle to form the "Y" in "YMCA" then land harmlessly, like a discarded burger wrapper, at Josh Allen's feet as he makes his throw.

 

Since I was one who called Motor out for his poor blocking skills in 2019, I feel it behooves me to show some appreciation for this almost FredEx-worthy RB block on a LB.

Worthy of its own “caption this” thread! Great find OP, and kudos to Singletary!

To genuflect whilst playing NFL football enhances the degree of difficulty and generally earns more points from the Russian judges. 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: @Gugny made me do it! He is a true inspiration!

Mongo blocking from his knees. Oh my.

[quinnearlysghost88]

Cover1 had a clip from the game where Mitch Morse shoved a rusher into another linemen and then at the last second engaged a linebacker running a stunt up the middle. It was perfection.

Does this still count as a cut block if I’m staring at his shoulder pads? 🧐

[Dablitzkrieg]

Mongo really sucks.  Cut him 🤔

I am not going as far as cut him yet, but bench him for sure. He is bad out there. I have never thought he was great but he has gone from slightly below average but servicable starter to flat out liability this year.

Blocking as a RB has little to do with size or even strength 

 

It's all about technique and commitment... If you fully commit to your technique and don't back down from the oncoming rusher you will usually win the battle

[boater]

Is it him, or is it Daboll's playcalling? Or the offensive line? He has produced nothing. Zilch. Nada. Moss isn't better. Maybe our RB just suck.

Was anybody more impressive than Thurman? And he was no giant. It was a thing of beauty!

Only on TBD does a "Motor Appreciation Thread" get turned into a "Bash Mongo" thread.

 

I will tell you that if you watch the full clip, though he does get shoved off balance, Mongo still manages to delay his guy and send him deep into the backfield - where he gets a bead on Josh only after the ball is on its way.  (I do not promise that holding wasn't involved, but he's sufficiently subtle about it)

The great thing about Thurm is he could do so many things well, especially as part of the passing game, hence his league leading stats year over year in combined yards from scrimmage…

He was truly ahead of his time. He could do SO MANY things, which allowed that offense to click.

 

Different times, different guys, different schemes………but the Bills are fun to watch again, and it reminds me of those good times! Winning is always great, but being FUN to watch while you do it is even better.

Moss/Singletary don’t have the speed to get to the outside and we don’t have the interior OL to run up the middle/off guard. 

[Scott7975]

The backs might have been the best blockers on the field this week.

Actually Moss is a substantially better pass receiver and it's not close.
