Opportunity with limited competition on a run heavy team. He has looked good this year on all of his touches. There was a play week one or two where he vultured a TD from McCoy and I was celebrating thinking McCoy just scored, reason I thought it was McCoy was because he looked really good on the carry making people miss and going though the last defender for the TD
No personal insults this time? Surprising.
A couple pages back someone asked, if McCoy misses time, who is the player to own. I said, Gillislee is a JAG but he's the one to own in the short term, but long term Jonathan Williams is the play. Everyone decided to take issue with me calling him a JAG bc I guess there's nothing else to talk about while we wait for updates on McCoy's hamstring
It is truly a pointless debate.
Clearly DJ, Zeke, Bell and DeMarco are the top studs. So you have Glee has a top 5 start? Am I missing someone?
I agree Miami has a pretty inept front office, but it still says something when a team in need of RBs cuts a guy they drafted after just one year. But that's just one part. The reason I called him a JAG was from the sum of these parts:
Murphy's law says this is exactly what will happen. Like Foster/Ajayi last week.
That was to be expected and I don't think it provides much insight his week 7 or 8 likelihood of playing.
That's not really true. He has performed admirably, and consistently, in the role of backup with limited touches. But the one time he was called on to carry the load he went 24 carries for 28 yards with 0 TDs and 0 receptions.
Could be, but Waldman was all over Spencer Ware long before his breakout. There has been zero dynasty buzz about Gillislee the past 3 years that I can recall.
Unfortunately I'm facing the Glee owner. Who has Matt Jones on the BYE and just lost Hyde for the week.
I'm a Buffalo homer, and own Williams in a deep Dynasty league. I think he'll get a couple more carries but I think Reggie gets the carries to spell Gillislee. He has a couple fumbles already this year and likely wouldn't be as involved just yet.
He's probably fumbled his way into the dog house for now, but wouldn't be surprised to see him get a decent share of carries if the game is out of hand in either direction.
Okay. But in the same game Karlos Williams ran for 24 yards on 6 carries and it's the same defense that LeSean McCoy put up 112 yards on 19 carries in week 10.
It was only 1 game, and the other 4 games he played in before that he did very well. He's looked solid again this year when called upon.
I completely understand that. The point I stated earlier is that he has been very consistent when playing in a backup role with limited touches but in the only opportunity he had to be a bellcow he floundered. Doesn't mean much in the grand scheme and I don't think it really has a bearing on this week's game but it's at least worth noting before people expect him to have some kind of monster game on the road.
Good points, all.
I don't have him. I'm a Bills homer. I don't expect any monstrous games from this offense ever. Let alone against a division rival on the road. But, he passes the eye test. When given opportunities he has looked very good. He's not somebody that gets a lot of credit. Karlos made the waves and Gilislee continues to fly under the radar it seems. But other than that 1 game, he's done a good job. Perhaps it could have been a scheme thing or what not. I don't remember the game details although I do remember we had a lot of guys out and should have lost but didn't.
I also remember last year where he was dinged up and missed some time. I'd rather him not play for 1 week and be 100% than play on an injury that he could aggravate to make it more serious. He's not much use to anybody while he's playing hobbled.
I don't think Buffalo will able to throw the ball with Tyrod's limitations and lack of WR options. Maybe Clay gets open. I think Gillislee will hit 15 carries, Miami will load up the box however and I believe Mario gets more snaps this week for his run support.
Yeah I'd like to see that that means she just thinks he misses the first 3 games and then the bye week which is very possible. I think he misses this week and if they win, they won't rush him back next week. I think the Seattle game is where you could think he'll be back in which they may be cautious and wait until after the bye.
GTFO! I hope that's not true. Rex was optimistic he's going to play, then an hour later he's possibly out 4 weeks? For a mild to moderate hamstring... That doesn't seem right. The Bills have screwed up some injury reporting recently, but c'mon.
Maybe he has ultra sensitive pain detection and it saves him from more serious injury.
Just reporting what I heard. Not sure what to think when it comes to hamstrings. I hope whatever the timeline is the let him fully heal. On Reddit someone linked a tweet where the OC said he won't play McCoy until he is 100% which I'm fine with. Hope everyone grabbed freegilley
It could make sense to keep him off the field until after their wk10 bye, so he would miss only three games, not four, but get about a month of rest. Owners probably were not super excited to start him vs NE and SEA anyway. MIA coulda been huge tho, but I don't think anybody expects him to play for that game effectively.
With knee's or ankle's yes he does do that often, he had a hammy issue with the Bills last year, they rushed him back, they wanted him for the opener, he played hurt throughout the year. They'll be smart this year. He should probably sit as they are 4-2 and after the BYE week, AFC conference games galore.
No I understand you were posting what you heard. He did have a lingering hamstring issue last year. And he wasn't effective when he was playing hobbled. So I understand why they wouldn't want to trot him out there if he's not close to 100%. I would agree with that. He didn't do so hot when he was playing dinged up. I would expect Gilislee this week and for the team to make a move to bring in another RB. Reggie Bush should never touch the ball.
This was about an hour prior to the ESPN report of someone close to McCoy. Rex hasn't been giving much regarding injuries. He was hopeful for Sammy Watkins for a few weeks as well. He's been honest about Lawson and a couple others.
Rex Ryan was hopeful of a lot of things. Really, one can hope for just about anything. I don't think anyone buys a lotto ticket hoping to lose. That doesn't mean its likely to happen.
