That 3.6 YPC is really going to get it done.

 

 

Yeah he needs to be more in the 3.7-3.9 yards per carry range like the great Saquon Barkley in some recent seasons in order for Bills fans to get in a lather about him.

wonder what other teams have interest?

Sounds like the Bills chose a PS Squad player who they think has potential and knows playbook at least somewhat  instead of an accomplished playoff performer, good pass blocking back and good receiving back.

 

I'm disappointed, but oh well 

 

typical McD going with a guy he knows, because football is like rocket science and takes years to figure out.  it's unreal.

Kinda weird he would be reported as coming here for a visit and now it's "nope, this isn't happening at all". Sounds like the ball was dropped on this

Or he rewatched Sunday night’s game.  That’s enough to put anyone off.

That sucks. The guy you are saying no for isn’t a needle mover here.

He got hurt playing on the bad turf in London.

Team "posing" to sign Johnson will be the one that signs Fournette.

What's unreal?  That we wouldn't sign a guy that 31 other NFL teams also haven't signed six weeks into the season?

It says that he's not taking any visits at all a days after saying he's making a visit to a team. That doesn't just happen. Someone had their facts messed up it sounds like

Not weird at all that his agent is publicizing interest from a contender. Agent doing his job. 

It is weird to say he is taking a visit and then a report comes out the very next morning to say no visits are happening at all. It sounds like a mistake in reporting

Without watching us Demolish 3 teams back to back to back? Doubtful. And even if that is the case, why agree to a visit anyway? I don't think he did and someone messed up with their facts as to what was going on

Fournette at One Bills Drive today.....

It just goes to show the extreme amount of credence McDermott puts on players who have been in Camp and/or know the playbook vs. talent out there to be acquired. Look no further than signing Josh Norman and now this.

 

And even though I know this is how he works, even I am surprised by this one. The RB position is probably the easiest position to transition. And the skill and athletic ability between Leonard Fournette and Ty Johnson is a large one.

 

To say we were only interested in Leonard Fournette because we thought we were going to lose Ty Johnson, but now that we're not - we prefer Ty is nuts to me.

There's more money staying at home, and selling

Beans on toast,

Fish and chips, and

Bangers and mash.

Yep, I agree.  It's "unreal" that McD is choosing a guy who knows the playbook because the Bills offense is like rocket science and takes years to figure out.  You're absolutely correct if you're saying that take has very little to do with reality.  

 

I'm curious...  Do you honestly believe that McD has an IQ of 70 and his football IQ is even lower?  

 

[frostbitmic]

Didn't he show up for camp at about 265 a couple years ago ? ... Is he below 300 lbs nowadays ?

Imo, this is more about replacing the red zone threat that Harris was. And less about yards per carry. Plus the Superbowl experience won't hurt.
