he wasn't even a starter in college lol.  he is a pass catching RB, he will never be a starter

He will take Singletarys job by end of season. And will be able to house it from anywhere on the field something Singletary cannot do.

No we won’t lol.  We will still throw a lot.

We will be among the lead leaders in passing, pass attempts and scoring even if we run the ball more next year.  You just can’t help to be overdramatic.  

 

What a nice way to say that.

Pick might be fine, but he really shouldn’t talk to his new boss tonight 

 

Presumably Beane called him. Do you reckon Dalvin impersonated him? 🤣

That's not going to happen.  But they intend to be effective when they do

He believes we extended Allen to be a ball control offense.

He's a monster at catching passes out of the backfield my guy

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Great to get another running back who can catch it out of the backfield and make plays that way as well, giving Allen another weapon. By the way....Stevie Johnson looked like he could still play. Go Bills!

dude looked high as shiz. i love him already.

Haha I was gonna say either the dude just woke up or uh, toked up. 
 

When they first cut to him and his family it kinda seemed like homeboy was yelling at someone, everyone got real quiet for a minute. Then the next time they went back to him he was putting the hat on with everyone cheering. 
 

Seems like a solid pick. Beane deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point. It’ll be interesting to see how they work him into the offense and split time with Singletary. I wonder if they try to move Moss, I like him too he’s just never really got going with them.

You didn’t see the live cam of his entourage?

 

Nope, still have a worker here I’m trying to prompt and usher out. But I do trust the Bills FO. As always, time will tell.

I don't see how this pick helps us. I guess we're just going to run left all year. Maybe we have a big trade coming to upgrade the right side of our OL. Beane just has the worst luck in round 2. Well, I guess we have a good depth RB. He'll be an ok 3rd down back, but I hope he won't be taking carries away from Singletary or this will be a wasted pick. I was hoping for someone that could upgrade a starting position in round 2. Oh well.

I encourage you to think about how many snaps they want RB1 and RB2 to play. I expect they want very similar touches for the two and that’s why they force feed moss the first 3/4 of the year. With that perspective we have upgraded RB2 which is effectively half a starter with this perspective.

They need a runner. Another Singletary..yawn

not sure what that has to do with it.  if Knox was just a blocking TE and someone said he's going to come in and catch a bunch of TD's i would say no he's just a blocking TE.  Cook is just a receiving change of pace RB, he's not a starter

So Duke Johnson was one of those fake signings? Like TJ Yeldon when we drafted Singletary. 
 

 

No I think Duke was insurance in case they didnt get a RB in the draft that can pass catch and will still make the team.   I think this says more about Moss and his future

[buffaloboyinATL]

HELL YES.  He was way under rated in my opinion.

Cook ran a 4.42, Singletary ran a 4.66.

The kid looked high or drunk, and the baby momma was screaming for everyone out or back up before they cut away 😬 

Thats how Alvin Kamera be looking and it works for him lol..

[MAJBobby]

Wanted an elite Athlete weapon in one of these two rounds. Got that elite athlete weapon. 
 

now OL would work in 3rd. Or even another elite athlete weapon will work. 
 

maybe even another DB would be fine as long as he has speed. 
 

those 6ths will go along way in shoring the IOL depth.

That's the RB I wanted. Would have preferred him with our 3rd but I won't complain. Best pass catching back in the draft.

 

When Walker went 41, the idea of Cook lasting until 89, which was a very iffy proposition to begin with, went way out the window. Moving down twice to pick up picks to allow us to move around on Day 3 and grabbing him just shy of Round 3 was so smart. I love everything about the pick.
