I’m getting to the point with cooki where whenever he gets the ball I get excited whenever I see him get to the second level because I know it’s going to be a good play. The only problem is I’m reserved because of the way he was used in college he has always been that add to back he has never been the guy you take motor for instants motor had a ton of carries in college and was productive cook is not. I honestly hope the cook just proves me wrong on that. 

Actually seeing Cook and Hines in the same backfield will be lot of fun with the speed they have.  Cook/Hines/Diggs/Davis/Knox could be a lethal combination as long as the OL can block.

Singletary is the man.  Doesn’t get the credit he deserves. His vision and all around game is very good and he’s dependable.  Doesn’t get arm tackled either.

we’re up there, but others are equally good if not better

Chubb/hunt

Dalvin/Mattison

Pollard/zeke

mccaffery/Mitchell 

Mixon/perine

Swift/williams

 

Penny/Walker would’ve been up there of Penny wasn’t hurt

 

You can add in Mostert/Wilson Jr., Hubbard/Foreman, Patterson/Allgeier and Robinson/Gibson.

I'm hoping Bijan Robinson falls to us in the upcoming draft. Wonder what Beane will do.

 

Draft a defensive back probably.

The best in Buffalo.., 😁👍

You can add them.  I wouldn’t.

 

wilson propensity for drops/fumbles and boneheaded plays leaves a lot to be desired Imo.  
 

Robinson/Gibson could be worthy of the list, but I’d still rather have our boys. 

 

the other guys-  meh-  I’d take motor and himbo all day.  
 

i’d rather have ekeler and co, Kamara and co, Jonathan Taylor and co, barkley and co, Henry and co, jacobs and co over the groups listed above based on the greatness of the lead back.

He’s not going to-  so don’t stress over it.

Not the best. Definitely looking really good the past few weeks, though. I figured Cook would slowly earn McD/Dorsey's trust, and he's showing he's up to the job.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Our RBs are so odd. They both have high YPC and for Singletary he has done that multiple seasons.

That said, I don't trust either one of them to pick up a 3rd and 1, break a tackle, or run away from anyone.  They both seem to have very good vision though. CJ Spiller had the worst vision of any RB I've ever watched in a Bills uniform but may have been as athletically talented as all but OJ. Cook and Singletary read blocks reasonably well and have that little sudden burst in the hole. Maybe Cook has the speed to break away from guys but we've only seen it on a few runs.

 I can't stand Elliot, but I believe that goes to Elliot & Pollard. A combined 1,817 rushing yards and 20 tds. Add another 463 yards and 3 tds receiving.

 

 

 

 

This and it's not close.

 

This thread is nuts.

James Cook nickname given to him by Josh Allen is jimbo.

 

One of the other thread had it in the thread

 

Yeah, he knows. He was just expressing his distaste for that nickname. I don't like it either.

Fully agree with this list. Cook/Motor/Hines are a really good trio of RB’s. But as a duo Motor and Cook aren’t the best. Doesn’t mean they can’t get the job done and the Bills don’t have a good stable of backs just no need to get crazy.

 

My hope is that Hines and Motor come back on reasonable deals. Hines adds a lot of value as a receiver and returner while Motor is a nice all around back. They would both complement Cook nicely.

[billybrew1]

And, I have no idea of where we could get him, maybe late in the draft?

but it would be a dream to have a back like Josh Jacobs to pair with Cook.

I’m a huge Singletary fan. He does most things well, he could catch a lot better though…. A tough blocker, a great runner, he gets what’s there and then some. He gets first downs when it doesn’t look like he is going to make it….

But to have a true full-size powerback that can also block very well and to pair him up with a guy like Cook….

And then have an OC that runs until the safeties creep up…or at least the D does more to stop the run….

Then hit them with Allen throwing…. Our current receivers might be good enough then….

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

They've played well, but I don't feel Singletary is the perfect complement to Cook as somewhat similar.  Even Hines is somewhat the same.  I'd rather see them get a more power bruising type back, like Moss!! LOL

 

Do think that type of player would be better match with Cook  IMO

[billybrew1]

However…..  Devin and James are certainly a good enough pair of running backs…

[JohninMinn.]

Singletary is the slowest back in NFL history.

We would be doing Josh a huge disservice if we go into next season with the same WRs .  We should get him some new toys

I hope at this point even Beane understands he needs to take OL.

[TheBrownBear]

Not the best, but good enough for sure, especially once you throw Allen in there.  Now let's just commit to using them with more regularity.

"Coming up at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central, Motor and Himbo!" 😂😂
