EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Idk about ya’ll but I was excited about the additional of Nyheim Hines. It seems they’ve slowly, and finally started to work him into the game plan. He was heavily involved early, and then McKenzie started to take over those snaps. It seemed like every sweep, handoff, or target was sniffed out, or went no where. I wonder if there was some sort of formation tell, or they keyed into him based on personnel or usage, but it just flat out stunk. I’m not a huge McKenzie guy, but age again had a solid game. Im kind of over this trade. Let him return kicks and get touches here and there, and revisit this in the off-season. Singletary is my guy. Let’s let him and Cook take it the rest of the way. 6 3 25 1 6 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) What experiment? He is a big upgrade in he return game and if needed can probably do some thing in offense. His presence is felt and he has been great. People had unrealistic expectations is the only issue I see.

Bills!Win! Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just wait until we play a good defense in the divisional round at high mark stadium. We will be throwing him screens left and right. He is our secret weapon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Too lazy to get into it but he was important tonight. Created mismatches on D, for 1. And had good vision to move out and take pressure off others running routes 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I don't think that he's comfortable with the offense yet, which means the coaches aren't comfortable with him in the offense. He didn't do himself a lot of favors tonight in the regard but at least they're getting comfortable enough with him enough to try 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 IDK he’s going for a record # of negative yards with this team so I say let’s let this thing play out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although his returns today were pretty lame compared to previous. Still feels potentially more successful than the Jamison Crowder experiment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just now, Simon said: I don't think that he's comfortable with the offense yet, which means the coaches aren't comfortable with him in the offense. He didn't do himself a lot of favors tonight in the regard. I mean this guy has never been an elite player. Decent pass catcher and injury fill-in like McKissic, Perine, etc. He is actually a very good returner and we have seen that so far. NE also plays good teams year in and year out so today doesn’t count. We traded a 6th and an incredibly unproductive RB for him, what did we think we were getting? He will have a role and make some plays but we are still figuring out what we can do with him. We have barely practiced with him. Instead, why don’t we focus on how much better Cook has been and how we now have the luxury of a Hines as RB3. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Don't really mind how he comes along in the offense so long as he continues to be a monster in the return game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Nope. Be over it. I’ve never felt more secure about our punt returns since Roberts left. He’s worth his salary for that. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a better passcatcher than Motor but unless he has a gaping hole even front of him, he cant get into the second level. Hines is probably even a better ballcatcher than Cook and if he can run into the 4 and 6 hole he might be a better option than the rookie right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) We didn’t need him. It was a nice depth addition but Cook started getting rolling. That trade could’ve been about next year also with Singletary a UFA. If singletary or Cook get dinged up we’ll be very happy we have Hines.

JGMcD2 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I’m over it too. Mostly because we have a large group of fans on this message board that keep behaving as if we acquired Barry Sanders in his prime and are misusing him.

Freddie's Dead Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The sweep from the 8 was stillborn from the snap. Very poor play design leaves the Cheats best defensive player, Judon, unblocked, for an easy 3 yard TFL. Dorsey didn't do Hines any favors. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The one time he caught the ball on the sort of play everyone thought he'd be doing he did exactly what he was brought here to and got some quick yards. Those sweeps they were ready for and never had a shot. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
