German_Force » Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is coming off the

worst season of his professional career. If the team chooses to separate with McCoy Harrison Phillips Jerseys 2019 , could they seek an in-house replacement? Injuries and scheme choices allowed the team to try out a few options in the 2018 season. Unfortunately, none of those options look like the answer in the future. Here’s who could be leading the running back corps in 2019, if the Bills move on from McCoy.Chris Ivory2018 stats: 115 carries, 385 yards (3.3 YPC), 1 TD, 13 receptions, 205 yardsIvory replaced Mike Tolbert as the bruising complement for McCoy’s shifty running style heading into the 2018 season. Buffalo signed him to a two-year, $5.5 million deal that would carry $750K of dead cap if he were cut in 2019, versus a $2.9M cap hit if he stayed with the team.In a way, Ivory managed to match the role he was signed for. He outplayed Tolbert, was the primary backup running back, and had a game or two where he sparked the offense when McCoy was struggling. Still, 3.3 yards per carry on 115 rushes is not going to cut it in the NFL. Ivory will be 31 years old in 2019, with 1300 career touches White Taron Johnson Jerseys , and his career trajectory is pointed down at this stage.Marcus Murphy2018 stats: 52 carries, 250 yards (4.8 YPC), 11 receptions, 26 yardsMurphy signed a contract with the Bills near the end of the 2017 season. Pressed into action at the season finale, he impressed with seven carries for 41 yards. Murphy was signed for three years, and he rolled into training camp in 2018 near the back of the pack with Travaris Cadet returning from injury and Ivory signed to a deal.Murphy held his own in training camp, and he made the opening day active roster. Murphy’s fresh legs were welcome at times during the season, but he struggled in pass protection and the Bills were more reluctant to dial his number as the year wore on. He finished as the team’s fourth-leading rusher. Murphy will be 28 years old in 2019, entering his fifth NFL season.Keith Ford2018 stats: 21 carries, 79 yards (3.8 YPC), 3 receptions, 21 yardsFord joined the Bills as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 NFL Draft. He started his college career at Oklahoma, but lost his starting job, was suspended Taron Johnson Jerseys 2019 , and transferred to Texas A&M. Ford fit into a rotation for the Aggies, rushing for 1217 yards and 18 touchdowns in two years.Ford signed with the Bills and played with the team in training camp. He ended up on the practice squad, from which he was promoted in mid-December during the aforementioned injuries.He had a decent, if unexciting debut season in NFL. Ford led the team with 33 yards on seven carries in his first game, a loss to the New England Patriots. He avoided major mistakes in 2018, but his longest play from scrimmage was 11 yards. Ford will turn 25 before beginning his second season in the league.Taiwan Jones2018 stats: 5 tacklesBuffalo’s special-teams captain is a free agent this year. The running back didn’t receive any offensive touches before he hit injured reserve with a neck injury.Next read2018 Analysis: Has LeSean McCoy lost a step?What are the salary cap ramifications of cutting Shady?In-house replacement options for McCoyFree agent running back options aplentyIf Bills want young than McCoy, 2019 NFL Draft full of prospectsState of the Bills Roster: running back How’s THAT for a halftime adjustment?While the rest of the Buffalo Bills jogged into the locker room at halftime of their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, cornerback Vontae Davis jogged in, then just kept on going.He quit at halftime — a jaw-dropping decision that left his teammates and coaches shaking their heads.“Pulled himself out of the game. He communicated to us that he was done,” coach Sean McDermott said after the Bills fell 31-20.Later, Davis posted on Twitter that he was, in fact, calling it a career.“This isn’t how I pictured retiring from the NFL,” he wrote. “But today on the field White Tre’Davious White Jersey , reality hit me and hard. I shouldn’t be out there anymore.”And so, he left.In case you missed it, here were other hot topics after the second Sunday of the NFL season:80 TOUCHDOWNS: Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs is on pace to throw 80 touchdown passes this season.Last season’s first-round draft pick threw six TDs against Pittsburgh to bring his total to 10 this year — surpassing Charley Johnson, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning for the most over the first two weeks of an NFL season.“You never expect to have 10 touchdowns at this point in the season,” Mahomes said. “But I knew with this offense, and the weapons that we have, and the scheme coach (Andy) Reid has drawn up, that we had a chance to be really, really good, and the possibilities are endless.”Kansas City won 42-37 for its first victory at Pittsburgh in 32 years.HARDLY RECOGNIZABLE: Yes, football fans, that is 14-year veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick tearing through opposing defenses.And yes, that was Fitzpatrick wearing gold chains , a half-zipped jacket and a pair of Aviator sunglasses after his latest triumph.After his second straight 400-yard Tre’Davious White Jersey 2019 , four-touchdown game and Tampa Bay’s second straight surprising win, Fitzpatrick rummaged through receiver DeSean Jackson’s locker to outfit himself for his postgame interview.Asked if any of what he was wearing was his, the thickly bearded Fitzpatrick responded: “The chest hair is mine.”Filling in for the suspended Jameis Winston, Fitzpatrick insists he’s not letting all the success go to his head.“I think we just have to stay humble,” he said, as one of the receiver’s pendants sparkled on his chest. “We’ve got to make sure we know how to handle success and all those things. We can’t change who we are.”Really. Don’t let the gold chains fool you.KICKERS WANTED: Last week, Zane Gonzalez’s inability to convert a field goal from a makeable range turned a potential win into a tie. This week, he missed four kicks and the Browns lost.Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the second half, including one of each over the final 76 seconds, all of which played into a 21-18 loss to New Orleans. The last miss was a game-tying attempt from 52 yards that sailed well right of the goal post.“It snowballed,” Gonzalez said. “I was pulling them, and the last one I pushed it because I was overcompensating. I get paid to make those kicks, and I have to make them.”Last week, Gonzalez had a 43-year field goal blocked as time expired in overtime and the Browns settled for a tie with Pittsburgh.This week White Zay Jones Jerseys , another NFL tie came courtesy of similar kicking problems. Minnesota’s Daniel Carlson missed a pair of field goals in overtime, including one from 35 yards as time expired, in a 29-29 deadlock with Green Bay.Also, Oakland’s Mike Nugent missed an extra point in the second quarter in what turned out to be a 20-19 loss to Denver.FINE COMING: Damontae Kazee of the Falcons got ejected for a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, as Newton was sliding in the open field.A fight ensued, and after the game, the Panthers remained understandably livid.“It was a malicious hit, intended to hurt” Newton, receiver Jarius Wright said.Newton: “This game isn’t fit for cheap shots like that, but at the end of the day you can’t blame him. He’s playing as hard as he can. I’m playing as hard as I can.”Kazee can expect to hear from the NFL soon. His preseason hit to Jaguars receiver Marquise Lee’s knees knocked Lee out for the season, but did not result in a penalty or fine.
