Bills signing Fournette (for real this time)

[Gavin in Va Beach]

How does this help our porous defense? Seems like Beane is just doing this just to show he's doing something...

This is not going to help anything.

right? 
 

Is this solely a security blanket for potential injuries? 
 

I mean “I’ve heard of him” but talk about a low priority position right now.

Signing a player doesn't mean anything regarding the trade deadline.  There is still an open roster spot and Harris could be out longer than expected.  It's a depth signing that likely needed to be, done a week and a half later than originally reported and for less money for the remainder of the season.

Now let's go get that LB!

[stlbills13]

It's pretty clear that they aren't loving Cook in pass protection and they don't think he's going to hold up in 17+ games in the red zone. They also want someone to take short yardage pressure off Josh. Murray is a good veteran but he looked slowwwww against the Bucs. Fournette probably won't touch the ball more than 4-5 times a game once he is elevated from the PS but if he can be in there on 3rd down and help protect Josh and catch a pass or two, he would be a nice addition. Not really a difference maker but I don't think that was the goal here.

I’m happy with this.  They need a battering ram that has a little more tread on the tires than Murray.

I like this move. Murray has value in pass protection but I don't want to see him touching the ball anymore. It's been painful watching him run it recently.

 

Think he takes Ty Johnson's spot on the practice squad with a few call-ups til Harris gets back.

 

[Dillenger4]

He is great, if not one of the best, at short yardage and goalline situations. We wil love him in tough, close games when he can move the chains with force.

[Big Turk]

Did Ty Johnson get claimed this time?

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

McBeane targeting a washed up has been?

 

[Royale with Cheese]

Dorsey: Hey Beane, this shotgun at the goal line isn’t working.

 

Beane: Why don’t we just sneak it?  That would easily solve the problem.

 

Dorsey: I think we just need a bigger back.  Please?

[wppete]

I like it. Now go get a CB and a LB.

He must be good at running the shotgun draw.

 

But is he good at it on third down from inside the 1 yard line????

[VW82]

Yeah good signing assuming he has anything left in the tank.

Benjamin Allbright reporting that Bills, SF and Cowboys are "in on CB Jaylon Johnson" from Da Bears. I looked further - some twitter saying Bills have made offer of: Elam and 2nd round pick for Johnson.

Hmmmmm.. Beaner up to a good deed?

[DuckyBoys]

He's a good fit  Can pass protect and you can still check down  the ball  or hand him the ball on pass downs  Bet he can still close out games running the ball as well 

[wppete]

Fournette should apologize to Shaq and not upset him. Last guy on the Bills to upset. He’s a freak and probably the toughest guy on the team.

Suh next please!  Although wouldn’t complain about finding some LB reinforcement too.

Yeah, that’s it. I’m sure every GM sits in their office going “I better pretend like I’m working.” and then plays speed dial roulette with an agent. 
 

Don’t pollute the board with stupid *****.
