BuffaloRebound Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Of all the depth signings, this guy actually helped us win games last year. Welcome back Ty. 2 Quote
dave mcbride Posted March 14 Posted March 14 26 minutes ago, Logic said: I don't think you can get much better at RB3 than what Johnson gave the Bills last season. Aside from playing special teams, he also ran the ball with burst and power and caught it well out of the backfield. He's probably also making vet minimum or close to it. Good signing. Agreed. He certainly passed the eyeball test last season and is a classic case of why RBs are regarded as a dime a dozen. 1 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Just now, 78thealltimegreat said: Solid move there’s a couple teams you could make the case TY could be RB1. Now RB room is set even if they contract a guy which they probably will anyway. lol name 1 he's on his 3rd team in 5 seasons and has never had 275 yards rushing. In Detroit, he couldn't beat out Bo Scarborough for the RB@. In NYJ, he couldn't beat out Tevin Coleman or Zonovan Knight---and those were bad rushing Offenses, the bar was low. 1 Quote

NeverOutNick Posted March 14 Posted March 14 49 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: This is HUGE!!! Cook and Ty are a perfect 1/2. Maybe get a cheap vet or late draft pick to round out the room. Agreed. If Corum falls to the mid rounds he’d be the perfect compliment to these 2 1 Quote
Charles Romes Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I can’t believe he only had 132 yards in 2023. Felt more like 332. 1 Quote
Saxum Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Bills need a bigger back like Ravens use. Maybe they can get one for PS to get ready. 1 Quote
Captain Hindsight Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I like Ty, but he should have heavy competition for his role. He had 200 yards last year Quote
Beast Posted March 14 Posted March 14 A big fan of this. Ty Johnson runs like he’s pissed off at the ground. 1 Quote
Process Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Nice. I'd draft a guy in round 5-6 and call it a day. Don't spend money on RBs. Quote
Logic Posted March 14 Posted March 14 26 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: It really wasn't much: 132 yards rushing and 88 receiving. Wouldn't it have been better to spread those touches (3-4 per game for Johnson) amongst Murray and Cook? Bills drafted Singletary and Moss and ultimately let them go because they didn't want to pay them second contract money down the road for what they were getting (the Bills got Hines for Moss--oof). They replaced these two, ultimately, with Murray and Johnson--the former an ancient journeyman, the latter a career journeyman scrub. No. Cook needs a breather at times. He's not the biggest guy in the world. When those breathers were needed, Johnson showed more as a runner and receiver from midseason onward than Murray did. You give the touches to the guy that earns them. Johnson earned them. Johnson posted 4.4 yards per carry. Cook 4.7. Murray 3.8. That means that after Cook, the next most productive guy when toting the rock was Ty Johnson. So why give those carries to Murray? I want and expect the Bills to draft or sign an RB2. But when your RB3 can run it for 4.4 yards a pop, catch the ball, and provide a change of pace for your RB1 when needed while ALSO playing special teams -- that's a useful player. That's why I'm glad they re-signed Johnson. 1 1 Quote
MrEpsYtown Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I like Ty. He has some great traits. He is big, thick, and very fast. Quote
muppy Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) it is refreshing to read a move that has nearly no controversy attached. Overall POSITIVE move. Good for him! and hopefully we fans too moving forward. Edited March 14 by muppy 2 Quote
