I get what you are saying, and as I said in my post, I like Knox and I think if he was starting he would be a top 15 TE elsewhere. When I say "expendable" I am strictly talking about his role on the team - because like it or not, the role has been diminished to a role that can be filled by TE's who are not as good as of an all around player he is because his role is substantially more about blocking than being a weapon. That opens up the door for a lot more players who can fill that role and for a lot cheaper. I don't "want" to move on from Knox, but salary for a TE in his existing type of role is a fraction of what he makes now. Would he be willing to be paid like a TE3 to stay? I mean Hawes is already starting to out snap him because Hawes is an even better blocker than Knox is right now, and honestly might already be one of the best blocking TE's in the game right now, and only going to get better. Ultimately, Knox's future here will be up to him and what he can stomach to get paid on a significantly reduced contract. End of the day though, a formation with Kincaid and Knox isn't much different than a formation with Kincaid and Hawes in it right now. As much as I, and many people, would like to keep Knox - the "need" for him is not what it was prior to drafting Hawes and his future here is going to be a numbers game on what the FO is willing to pay for him to remain in a role that now has further diminished after already getting diminished since drafting Kincaid.

Not saying give up on them I think Ty has looked better in his limited opportunities. So if we see Ray continue to avg under 3 yards per carry, at what point do you give Gore a try?

Bills defense shows up and out! Bills - 35 Putzriots - 10

Why is this a problem? Should we let a human being suffer and die? This also doesn’t follow from your claim that government is bad.

Neither Davis nor Johnson have really gotten many opportunities to even play this year. That’s a good thing with Cook being so dominant early in the year

Well, I think I said just that in my post, your first sentence.. But, have patience.... Because if this run defense does not improve, soon and dramatically, (and Tre White ever covers a fast wideout again), what you say in your last sentence may be coming soon too. We have seen the beginnings of that in the high completion percentage of QBs. Because if the Bills can't stop the run with their lineman, they will need to change their pass defense too.

I want that to be true but it’s certainly not showing up in the stats. He has one tackle for all the playing time he’s had thus far. Jordan Phillips, who was just called up and played in one game, has the same amount. Walker on the other hand has made a noticeable difference and impact with similar playing time.

Efficiency and government should never be in the same sentence.

He and Ty Johnson have definitely not looked as good so far, but I think that is primarily due to a lack of snaps and in preseason there really weren't many holes. I do think that he and Ty look more hesitant, I wouldn't give up on them yet.

Wow what a nightmare! These people. They’re only going to get dumber. There is nowhere left for them to go. Idiocracy actually turned out to be a cautionary tale about the Democrat party and their voters.

Coaches need players. The Tenn offense was built around "pick your poison". Run over you with Derrick Henry; if you sell out to stop Henry, throw over the top to AJ Brown. Replacing AJ Brown with Bobby Trees absolutely lopped off one of their main branches (see what I did there?) and losing their starting QB 6 games in to 2023 sealed the deal. Vrabel absolutely got screwed on personnel by his GM and we have to mind that.

I’d be all about this if he still has it Or the packers who draft a couple every year…

Agree. Outside of Lamar, the Bills franchise has always struggles against rushing QB's and good to great Tight ends. Its like it is in the DNA of the franchise. Go back to Blake Bortles in the Jags playoff game...arghh he passed for 87 yards and rushed for 88!

Can’t really fault the defense against Baltimore in the playoffs tbh…I think they rescued the offense both times. The other ones are fair though

So Ray Davis said he dropped about 15 lbs and wanted to be more elusive. However, that is not what brought him to the big leagues and so far this year we are seeing a much less productive Ray Davis. In the preseason he looked awful and so far this year he has looked awful. So I am curious as to if the staff will use a call up soon on Frank Gore Jr, put him in Davis role, make Davis inactive and see if that is an upgrade. We have 3 call ups, so at one point would you say, ok let's see what Gore can do for us this year? After all, Gore ran behind the same backups that Davis did in preseason and looked much better. Goes stats in 2025 11 carries, 29 yards, 2.6 yards per attempt. We will need someone to spell Cook... So if you had a say, would you give Gore a call up and make Ray inactive to see if this helps. And if so, how long a leash are you giving Davis before you do this? https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/4429501/ray-davis We can't expect Cook or any running back to have almost 400 touches....

I think the Bills broke them week one

Did he contract AIDS? Was this our staff giving him the Epenesa make over? If not, did he inform the team? Its bizarre. Limited plays, but he looks slower, which doesn't make sense for dropping weight. Wtf happened here??? Buffalo blow isn't even any good, and i don't think hes that type of dude either

It's not the coach... It's the young secondary, specifically the safeties. Less coverage disguise + soft defense = more break, especially on third down. That said, they can and will get better over time. The goal is to win for now and to peak at the end of the season.

But he didn't win a "HIMMY" award yet, so he sucks

I still say, "Let 'em walk" Don't give in and then let the other players think they can 'hold us hostage too' Easily replaceable Dime a dozen Be crazy to play a running back who cannot pass block Davis will do just fine, just as well We should not be running this much anyway, need a passing game to finally fix this awful offense... Trade him for a 3rd round draft pick. Or a 4th if that is all we can get. NEVER pay a running back, ever... Etcetera One day when I have some time I will go back to a Cook thread or so and have some real fun..

Efficient government benefits everyone. Not this let's fire everyone then hire most of them back cause we dont know how to do anything BS.

Hey westy, do you want a shovel with a longer handle? I’m thinking you’re gonna need it…,
