Scarlett Feva Breakdown

Missed this kid doing my own internet sleuthing on college prospects but when we drafted him thought his clips showed a nice combination of speed and power to compliment CMac. Glad to see him show it in his debut.

Really think him and Goodwin can be good late round contributors on this, and even future rosters. Even more than Miller imo.

So here's my issue, the team was looking for a CMC clone and drafted a power RB.  Was he a reach based on what was left?  Scarlett has the power to move a pile, but if you look closely, he's very tight-hipped.  He may have made some second and third string Bills look average, but can he do that against a starting defense?  Instead of getting a CMC clone, we got a CAP clone.  Holyfield is in that same mold too.  The only RB that's even close to a CMC-type is Bonnofon and he's raw...a college QB and WR if memory serves me correctly.

That play on 2nd and 18 was grown man football. Preseason or not that is good field vision.

So let me get this straight.  You take offseason coach speak as gospel truth?

Nope, not in the least, but considering the offense flows through CMC, you would think getting someone in that same mold would make sense if the big "I" were to occur.  That's my biggest problem with this team, they put all their eggs into certain positional baskets and when the starter gets hurt, things turn to utter crap.

My question to you: based on one preseason game against backups, if CMC tears his ACL against the Rams, you are all-in on the Scarlett hype train?  Heck, just last week Holyfield was the second coming of Berry Sanders.  

You all here get too up or too down on players based on preseason.  Greir's now the next Ryan Leaf and Scarlett is headed to the HOF.

Nope.  Go search my posts.  Have never been on the Holyfield train.  And have been intrigued by Scarlett since we drafted him.

I like his running style.  And Holyfield isnt in the ballpark of  Scarlett. 

My apologies for my original post being a little rough.  But I have watched a ton of tape of Scarlett.  Is he the next Kamara?  No.  But he could be an adequate replacement if CMC went down.  It would have to be a Scarlett and Bonnafon combo.  But that’s the case with most elite RB’s.  You just aren’t going to replace them with one guy.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
