Leonard Fournette to be activated tonight

[BillsfaninSB]

Ground and pound tonight?  Keep Allen upright and the defense off the field as much as possible?

[CEN-CAL17]

Let’s go! Another wrinkle for other teams to figure out! He’s just as good out of the backfield as Jimbo!

Truthfully, I hope not. Chargers have one of the worst pass defenses in the nfl. If anything, I hope Allen throws for 400 yards

If you can catch Playoff Lenny, you can catch greased lightning.

I could be wrong. But isn’t Leonard Fournette pretty slow. Does he really provide much of an advantage over latavius?

 

I want power. Need a yard? Get two.

But I'd be fine with running it with a big lead

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I’d rather keep Johnson in and take Murray out. Go let Murray sit out a few weeks because to me…he’s the 4th best guy of the group. I have been very impressed with Johnson and to me the other guys are clearly steps better than Murray. Let the old guy have some rest for those legs.

I know this RB well, 2nd best on the team. Buffalo is incredibly lucky to have this kind of depth.

He is easily a 1000 RB if he was the featured back

This would be my guess. Makes sense. Let Ty rest up and get Lenny a bit of game time 

I agree.  I think they want to give Ty a week off and see what they have with Lenny.   If he shows out there’s a chance he could a regular roster spot

This late in the year, I think the Bills will rotate which depth rb is inactive in order to keep the rotation fresh. Murray, Johnson, and Fournette will be crucial pieces if we continue to run the football 40+ times per game.

Bingo. 
 

EXACTLY what is going on.  Preserve tread on tires.

IIRC Johnson has a shoulder injury

The defense will be expecting him to go fast, so by going slow, they will be extremely confused. We'll have them exactly where we want them.

change of pace.... I hate when people say that

Possible. I think Johnson's shoulder has a major influence in Fournette being active, though. Even if Lenny plays well I don't see the need for him to be on the roster if Cook, Murray and Johnson are healthy. Those 3 have all earned their play time IMO.

Murray is just as slow and struggles to catch passes. Should have been done weeks ago.

Ty Johnson probably out then?

That would be my guess…but on the other four ethe  thread…Cook was the issue….

Yeah he definitely did get banged up. I was actually surprised he went back in last week

lol….. most feature backs are 1000 backs if they play 17 games. 

 

You haven’t seen this RB play in a year.  We don’t know what he is.  The entire NfL thought he was a washed up bum

No, he's not slow. He may have lost a step from College, but Cook ran a 4.42 pre-Draft and Fournette ran a 4.51. 

 

For a RB of his size, that's actually fast.
