Bills trade for Nyheim Hines

[Virgil]

Can he pass protect?

[LabattBlue]

Somewhere upthread someone was raving about his speed.  Stats say otherwise...

 

300 career carries with a long of 34

235 career receptions with a long of 36

$5M per is an insane price to pay for Hines when you just drafted Cook

 

Can't even afford him next season....

Hopefully this is another Hughes like trade for us from the Colts 👀

 What does that have to do with his results when running and catching the ball? Nothing.

 

 

It has everything to do with his opportunity. Zack Moss averaged 5.2 yards per carry this season, does that reflect what Zack Moss brings to the table?

Having fun on trade deadline day.

Being Cost Controlled for the next 3 years I think Bills have just decided Hines and Cook will be their RBs in 2023.

I don't get it, the biggest areas of need are IOL and S, and they go out and get a 3rd down back despite having used a 2nd round pick in April on a 3rd down back.  

 

Color me confused.

They traded a day 3 for a RB insurance policy/ lightning fast pass catching rb.  
 

Not one IOL was traded…..none were available.  If Poyer isn’t out long, we don’t need a S.  If he’s out awhile, I would’ve liked a S too

[DrDawkinstein]

The last time we traded player/player with Colts was Sheppard/Hughes. Previously, Bell/Biscuit. Hoping this follows the trend...

So he is going to be an every down back when the Colts have Jonathan Taylor?

Maybe if Taylor gets hurt again. Or maybe he will get a chance at his next stop. He wasnt doing anything here but I don't think it's because he's not good. Again watch the tape on both guys and see which one looks like a RB and which guy looks like a backup

 But offers less than both Singletary and Cook in rushing & receiving. I don't get it unless he's the #3 RB.

 

 

He's much better than Singletary as a receiver (the jury's still out on Cook, who hasn't had enough touches to evaluate).    Hines can also play the slot in a pinch.     As a runner, he looks about the same as Motor, with less yards after contact ability (he's a water bug).   

 

Would have liked to add a bigger back for short yardage situations, but I guess that's Josh's role.

I wish Moss all the best. He was meh for us. But I think this trade will Really work out well for him. He will do a lot better in the Colts style running attack (more gap and duo). 
 

if you are a fantasy player, I would recommend picking him up.

Meh is kind.

Watch the games.  He can line up outside.

Meh. Smells like desperation after all the other moves today. "We did a move too!"

Was it a 5th and Zack moss?

 

I do think he adds to ST in a returner role. Maybe replaces ancient Taiwan Jones as a ST gunner/ace.

Can be effective in spot duty as a RB.

 

Very expensive next year, probably more then Singletary would be. Not sure that is an upgrade.

 

Go Bills!

Hes a faster JD McKissic and we offered him a multi-year deal before it fell apart. 
 

Id expect us to try to restructure his deal and enter next year with Hines/Cook as the 1/2. 

That is a ton of speed/pass catch ability in the backfield. 
 

We can find a bruiser mid-late rounds of the draft to be a short yardage guy we hoped Moss would be.

Hines may get more touches than Singeltary.  We don't have Jonathan Taylor.

 

 Yes all 2 yards a carry at a time. Whew!! I bet he's tired. He doesn't run better or receive better. But now let's put him as #1 RB

No guarantees Singletary is here next year. So now they have a solid backup RB who is versatile and can play. Come playoff time can't leave anything to chance especially with a rookie in Cook.

Why do these guys love RBs so much? 😅

You wanted a playmaker on offense.  You have one…..at the expense of Moss and a 5th or 6th rd pick……obj is next
