now i'm just confused.  

 

I think they see him as a critical piece of our special teams. Can’t have too many of THOSE guys!

Seems like a lock for 600 yards and 5 TDs when you look at his stats.  Good catch rate, 10 fumbles across 1700 touches, and is a big strong dude.  

 

I'd assume this is competition for Harris?  Or they may carry 4 and just have 3 active depending on game type and injuries.

I feel like this is just part of some Beane smokescreen to make it seem like we're still interested in adding a rb and might draft Bijan Robinson.

 

He keeps saying that Edmunds' replacement is on the roster and we haven't signed anyone new at LB, so that screams that we'll take a linebacker in the 1st or 2nd.

I mean, we do need someone for that Matt Breida/TJ Yeldon break glass in case of emergency role.

 

McDermott has only ever dressed 3 RB's on Game Day, 1 of which was a Special Teamer. James Cook, Damien Harris, and Nyheim Hines will all dress (and Hines will provide more on offense than Taiwan Jones and Senorise Perry offered).

 

So we do need a 4th guy on the roster who won't dress unless there's an injury. That said, I expected and prefer a 5th or 6th Rounder instead. Someone you could strike Gold on.

My 1st reaction was definitely "huh?"

 

But, as much as I think Harris can be a short yardage back, that's not necessarily his specialty.  To have someone for the goal-line and 3rd & 1 (and 4th & 1) would round out that unit well.  

 

The Bills are determined to build a real running game. I can't really object to that.  Cincy was more physical than the Bills were - there are a few aspects to that, but getting a more physical & reliable run game makes things a lot more equal on that front.
