ghostwriter Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Will Buffalo rush for more yards in 2024 than we did in 2023? Or less? 2023: 512 attempts 4.3ypc 2,212 yards 22 TDS Edited July 11 by ghostwriter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) More, if we project out what we saw from Brady during the second half of last season. Though I hope Josh doesn't have to run as much. Edited July 11 by NickelCity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP51 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) I hope that we do... the only way I see us not based on what I saw from Brady last year is if we have a rough go of it and have to play from behind more than we typically do, then we clearly could be under.

frostbitmic Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The one way to keep Josh from scoring too quickly is to have the team run more. Complimentary football boys and girls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This poll is extremely lopsided! 21-2? Wow.. I don’t think it’s as simple as fans think.. What if Cook misses time due to injuries? That right there could handicap our rushing attack. I suppose Ray Davis could step in need be but he’s still just a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Def more . Brady highly values the run game as he should and we finally have a run game with Josh 14 minutes ago, ghostwriter said: This poll is extremely lopsided! 21-2? Wow..

MJS Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) The rushing yards were pretty consistent with the previous three seasons. I think the Bills were forced to turn to the run game more because of the lack of effectiveness of most of their receivers, including Diggs, Davis, Harty, and Sherfield. They basically only had Kincaid and Shakir to throw to. So, I voted for under, not because I think there will be a big dip, but because I think the Bills will have a more effective passing game this year and the rushing will remain close to the same.

Let's Go Buffalo Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I picked more.....I think we have solid backfield again, and just getting better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think injuries are always a wild card for sure all things being consistent I think that the increased focus on the run game has one logical result so my thought is the way to eliminate the logical result of an increased focus on the run is if situationally we have to abandon it based on our need to catch up. That being said yes we sustain injuries to Cook Davis Johnson etc that clearly will have a negative effect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook with another year of experience, the young fresh legs of Ray Davis, and a full year of Ty Johnson at RB3 is far superior to an injured Damian Harris and a Latavious Murray with not much tread left on the tires 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhh. You're not allowed to say on this board that Diggs and Davis were ineffective and that the Bills will have a better receiving core this year.

Jimmy Harris 69 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I see the running game staying strong and growing with the use of Ray Davis. That is not meant to slight Ty Johnson who had a nice campaign last year in limited use. Allen rushed for 240 (approx.)fewer yards than the previous two seasons last year. If there were a Cook back injury, I could see a vet coming in for insurance, and Allen’s use trending up. I believe the rushing yards will increase over 2023 but not due to failure of the passing game. The line will once again be an area of strength. Preservation of Allen’s health is pivotal to getting to the championship. I have faith in our receiver group. The will be very effective, and surprise those who consider the loss off Steff a huge problem. I do not. Joe Brady will become the newest shiny penny in BFLO.

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I think it will be an increase because of McGovern taking over for Morse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayjent Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 The WRs they have are better blockers than last year which should allow for more explosive plays in the run game. The backs are all good receivers (with the exception of Cook’s drops) so a team can’t just line up to stop the run with poor coverage LBs without being exposed. I think the Bills will take advantage of the defenses they face so if they end up under it will most likely be because teams are getting torched with bad personnel against our backs in the passing game. We’ll see how they look in camp but I think this is going to be a physical offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Over. The league this year will feel like a throwback to the 90s with all the rushing plays. Bills and other teams will run it a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
