Bills Running Game 2nd to Last Says Scouts Inc.

A recent ranking of running games by Scouts Inc. is not too kind to what the Bills look like they will run out in 2007.  The team for sure has their issues at the position, and the ranking tells as much about the team. Below is their thoughts on the Bills running attack heading into 2007:

31. Buffalo Bills

The Bills made one of the most curious moves of the offseason when they dealt RB Willis McGahee to the Baltimore Ravens. McGahee was expected to be a big part of the Bills’ run game in 2007, but the Bills knew they would have a hard time keeping McGahee after 2007, so they traded him. While it might be a good move for the future of the organization, it obviously doesn’t help their running back situation this season. J.P. Losman is starting to develop into a No. 1 quarterback and to continue on that path, he is going to need to be backed up with a solid run game. The Bills addressed that need by drafting RB Marshawn Lynch from Cal in the first round. With only veteran Anthony Thomas as quality depth, Lynch essentially will be handed the starting running back job. He will not have to be a superstar as a rookie, but he will need to do enough to keep the defense honest and open up the passing game for Losman.
