I wouldn’t hate it.  I don’t know if we can make the moves necessary to get the defense up to respectability with the all injuries. So why not just ram rod it down teams throats.  The Henry, Cook and Allen backfield would make teams have to respect the run which would definitely open up the deep stuff that teams have been playing to stop recently.  
 

 

Team RamRod!!

At what cost? If the Chiefs gave up a 1st Rounder for Hopkins would you want Beane to give up a 1st and a 4th?

Nobody is giving a first for Hopkins. It will be a late rounder, but the Titans will let him make the choice of where to go. If you were him, what team would you pick. In KC, you get Taylor Swift, ribs, Mahomes, Reid and a SB ring. In Buffalo, you get a b-list actress, snow and “no-film” Josh.

There is an article in today's Daily News about the Giants trading Saquon, but Beane really should call Schoen and see if either Lawrence or Williams are available. That would be a good move for the Bills and combined Oliver will help shore up the D-Line.

I agree that someone to fill in for DaQuon Jones is a big need right now.  He was playing so well, that he will be difficult to replace.

If the Giants lose on Sunday and fall to 2-6 then Beane has to call them and see if a deal can be worked out. I am sure he is looking at all options, but he does have history with Schoen working together in Buffalo.

I know it’s super unpopular but I can’t even imagine how great it’d look to see a T playing TE, a FB and Henry coming downhill with Josh Allen as the QB. Just like yo and run it for 5 yards whenever we feel like it.

[Ramza86]

That would be their big move? What a joke.

 

Henry is a shell of himself. Have you seen him run? Hes only worth a damn with a clear lane. He doesnt move piles anymore.

[Bobby Hooks]

I don’t love it. But we have to do something.

Saquon is the RB the Bills really should be targeting. He has the ability to do the things Cook can plus pass protect😎

He'd be hurt on his third play.

Im not proposing anything here...just sharing info.  

 

Interesting day over here...A buddy called me earlier today who has also been a source of some info in the past (for example he was the one who leaked the Rams vs Bills season opener last year to me a month early) and he just he heard some chatter potentially linking Bills and Henry today.  

 

I just got home right now from being out and about for a little bit running errands and I got a text from a bookmaker buddy of mine about how the Bills are now the betting favorites in Vegas to land Henry at 2/1 odds.  My immediate comment to him was to ask him if that is just because Beane freed up some cap space.  He said it's possible, but more likely Vegas at least heard or caught wind of something suggesting at least interest rather than just make that move over a small cap move.  

 

So take it with a grain of salt...but just found it interesting that in the same day Beane freed up cap space Vegas made the Bills the betting favorites to land him.  Did a quick google search to pull up the odds and found this link right away.

If only Von would get on board it would be a lock.

Who in the Bills brain trust would want to completely transition the offense from a pass first to a ball control/ground and pound offense? In mid-season no less?  Can't imagine anyone would.  

[BigBadBills]

not sure who this guy is or how credible he is. He does have 6k followers.

This guy broke Jonnu Smith to the Pats with the correct numbers. That’s about it. This seems like a shot in the dark.

Can't draft a 2nd Rd RB if you trade it away.

 

 

[LABILLBACKER]

Please no. Are they immediately panicking because of Harris?  We've got 4 starting defensive players hurt or IR.  We need a 1T, LB,  CB or WR2 in that order.  We don't have a run blocking OL good enough to justify this.

No thank you! Please fill the holes on defense

[WotAGuy]

Trading for an old RB? When your franchise QB needs WR weapons?
 

Either Josh is having a mental breakdown or Beane is.

There is also a rumor that some of this stuff is made up as an alternative to Viagra 

[Dubie54]

We need a lot more help elsewhere but wouldn't put it past Beane to go after a big name like Henry with questionable longevity issues just like he did with Von.
