mike1011 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 When has McGahee showed much except the first year other than the Jets? I just don't see the love for the guy. What has he really done other than run 4.0 yards a game. A-Train can do that for a fraction of the cost and no attitude. Keep A-Train, trade McGahee for a 3rd if we are lucky.

daquixers_is_back Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 If he's not 100% the Bills are better off with AT. Even at 100% Willis might not be a better runner than AT. I don't see any difference in terms of productivity between the two. 847348[/snapback] A-TRAIN 82 yards per game, 3.4 AVG MCGAHEE 80 yards per game, 3.8 AVG Other than the slight difference in AVG's, you would be correct.

Keep A-Train, trade McGahee for a 3rd if we are lucky. 847662[/snapback] 2005 Games when McGahee got the ball ATLEAST 22 times: 117 yards (week 1), 140 yards (week 3), 86 yards (week 5), 143 yards (week 6), 136 yards (week 8), 81 yards (week 12), 66 yards (week 15), and 113 yards (week 16). That is an average of 110 yards per game when Willis McGahee received atleast 22 carries. 2006 Games when McGahee got the ball ATLEAST 22 times: 91 yards (week 2), 150 yards (week 3), 78 yards (week 4). That is an average of 106 yards per game when Willis McGahee received atleast 22 carries. In the past 2 seasons, the Buffalo Bills coaching staff has given McGahee games where he has carried the ball: 13 times, 14 times, 16 times (2x), 10 times, 8 times, 9 times.

I don't see any difference in terms of productivity between the two.847348[/snapback] The difference between the two is that Thomas has had the benefit of running behind the newly revamped line and McGahee has not. Give McGahee three or four games behind the rebuilt left side and then start to compare. Otherwise you're just pissing in the wind with your comparisons.

Astrobot Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Because McGahee is a better outside runner, I'd put him in this week. We're not going anywhere between the tackles today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Because McGahee is a better outside runner, I'd put him in this week. We're not going anywhere between the tackles today. 847703[/snapback] Some truth to that. At the very least Willis has shown he's pretty tough. Playing with recently healed ribs after only 3 weeks has to be painful unless he's medicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Pretty impressive. A very Travis Henry-esque move on his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 2005 Games...That is an average of 110 yards per game when Willis McGahee received atleast 22 carries. 2006 Games... That is an average of 106 yards per game when Willis McGahee received atleast 22 carries. Draw your own conclusions. 847670[/snapback] This fails to show a causal relationship. You may look at it either way: giving him the ball over 22X will cause him to have a great game, or more likely... He is getting the ball more because he is having a great game.

Spiderweb Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Pretty impressive. A very Travis Henry-esque move on his part. 847726[/snapback] Speaking of old Travis, playing for the miserable Titans, he's run for over 700 plus and for 4.6 ypc...... Seems pretty decent.........

CFLstyle Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 And people on this board were saying his season was over and he wouldn't be back just a couple of weeks ago. In fact some people said he had played his last down as a Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Bad attitude my ass, the guy wants to play and help his team win. I said he'd be back in a month and he missed 2 and 3/4 games. He must be a pretty tough bastard. I can't wait to see this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
