Harris will get more carries than expected JMO.

Excellent pickup.

Welcome. He ran well against the Bills.

Hoping he can be what Moss wasn't.

Re: RB Damien Harris a Bill

The problem is with our scheme we seem to telegraph our plays. This result is us not running the play the player is in for and just makes everyone mad when they don't use that player and then we fail on a 30 yard pass. Then the next time that player is in he gets the ball and nothing. We lack creativity at a higher level because we are not creative. The Bills don't set themselves up this way to outsmart the other team. You can't bring a specialty player in 4 times a game and expect him to be successful. He has to play more snaps to confuse the defense. I can see it already. Here we go again. Applies to all offensive positions. You need a static offensive lineup to fool the defense. You can't bring in specialty player B 3 times a game and expect results.

The Bills often run different plays from the same set. I think Dorsey just didn't have a feel for it like Daboll had developed over years of calling plays.

That's why I was surprised last year when, as a Super Bowl favorite, they just promoted a guy who had never called an NFL offense. I thought the reasoning that Josh was comfy, was pretty soft. It was a pretty big gamble and we all saw the offense get figured out as the season went.

And we still don't have a short yardage, between the tackles runner outside of Josh. That's not a good way to protect your franchise QB.

Re: RB Damien Harris a Bill

Harris joins a running back room that also houses second-year back James Cook and return man Nyheim Hines. On a one-year deal, Harris has a chance to join a contender and provide the Bills with the short-yardage running back they've been missing.

That is exactly what Harris is. The guy had 15 TD's in 2021. Those are carries where the QB basically says to the D at the LOS "WE'RE GIVING IT TO HARRIS OFF TACKLE" and he still scores.

That's cute but he wasn't that for NE, so I'm not sure where this writer gets that. That's why they got Stevenson. Harris is more like Hines.

He's an outside runner.

And his injury history tells us he doesn't have the durability up the gut.

100% what he is and always has been.

Hell no.

Cook and Hines are speed backs.

From Fox Sports: https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/damien-harris-player

Heading to Buffalo
“The Bills and Harris agreed to terms on a one-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact After losing Devin Singletary to the Texans earlier Monday, the Bills were in need of reinforcements at running back. Harris is the first to join holdovers James Cook and Nyheim Hines. Considering that Cook and Hines ring in at 190 and 196 pounds, respectively, the 5-foot-11, 213-pound Harris becomes the top candidate for early down and short-yardage work with his new squad.”

Re: RB Damien Harris a Bill

Well, I hope so, but when I was watching NE, he didn't get used that way.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
