  1. Great play Kelce. Time to retire.
  2. That connection is going to be a problem.
  3. Actually should have been a catch. Not showing good hands today.
  4. There was a thing called a trebuchet. You could strap Bass into one of those and he'd just be a spot on the horizon in a nanosecond.
  5. Run D totally sucks. Everybody knew they were going to run the ball.
  6. And that's where 80% of games are won or lost.
  7. 34/17 Bills of course. We are at least twice as good.
  8. Reminds me of the Jets getting rid of Darnold.
  9. I think they are one and the same.
  10. The game has really slowed down for Aaron. I thought that was a good thing. Guess not.
  11. Im heading over to Gang Green for some laughs.
  12. I think Aaron is ready for the wax museum.
  13. Whats Woody gonna do? Maybe he can wring his own neck. Would be a good move.
  14. If by #1 we mean Allen's go to guy I wouldn't be completely surprised if that was in Keon's future. For a number of years Julian Edelman, a slot receiver, was Brady's go to guy and saw a ton of balls. Before Edelman it was Wes Welker, another slot. If by #1 we mean the outside receiver to the weak side of the line opposite an eligible tight end or either receiver at the end of the line in multiple receiver sets (say 2x2 or 3x1) that's a different assertion. Keon is not a dedicated #1 outside X receiver imo, meaning he is not going to take the significant majority of his snaps outside. Actually not many of today's best receivers do eg Davante Adams. Neither is Keon one of those "slot only" guys obviously. He is going to wind up lining up both outside and inside on or off the line depending upon the purpose underlying the play call. The exact percentage breakdown has yet to be determined and will be influenced by a number of factors some of which are unknown and unknowable at this time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wound up a roughly 50/50 proposition. For those who think the slot belongs to Shakir, his snaps too will be divided in some proportion. He can play some on the boundary.There are two types of slot receiver generally. Some are fast and quick, some are big and strong. We know what group Keon falls in. And there is nothing preventing the Bills from using two slots, like the championship Cardinals often did. Boldin lined up inside and in so doing he benefitted from having more room to operate in the middle of the field. The payoff, in part, was that he managed to be one of the games best YAC receivers, even though he was slow. Coleman reminded me of Boldin a lot when he took off for big yardage after the catch.
  15. I don’t think he is a # 1 receiver if what we mean by that is a dedicated X (not to say he couldn’t line up on the boundary at times). Pickens lines up outside about 75% of the time but he ran a 4.47. Not sure it matters Keon not being a true X (except to the extent that it means we still need to find one long term). He could still serve as the go to guy. Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin both worked out of the slot and both are in the HOF.
  16. He has a lot to learn and he needs to get better. But for me what I feel I've seen at this level of play is the unequivocal confirmation that in terms of physical ability the potential is there for sure. He appears to have successfully negotiated the big gap between college ball and the pros, which is what you rarely know for sure when you draft but absolutely need to see. And he's done it quickly. Add to that his good attitude and what I suspect is above average maturity (for a 20 year old) and intelligence and the ceiling is high for him as an impactful player.
