But he was going to start right off the bus. I recall that comment IMO they expected him to start and play the season. IMO that was silly considering what was seemingly known by other head Coaches. Not a fan of Adolphus Washington either. Both heavy Rex influenced picks IMO. What about Ragland ? I am sure Whaley was doing his Coaches bidding went it came to draft weekend. We can only hope both Adolphus and more so Lawson, Shaq , show up big in training camp.

Good points across the board Bill . BTW Kudos on what turned out to be a hearty thread ✔️

good movie sounds cryptic I like it

HA HA

I had the same issue with the site, but i recall all of that info as i was following Watkins for awhile.

i can see this happening. but watch out for Patriots and their devious ways !

yes. he has been called upon to show why he deserved to be such a highly rated draft pick. not just by Buffalo either. Beane and Co have done a fair job on giving him notice. Washington should feel the same pressure from this Organization. that being said. he should be part of a decent rotation on the early downs . Lets hope he fixes that post snap lag thing. is he counting Mississippi's or what is that all about ? He was bottle as a rook, fed by Rex. deserves free counseling and another chance. especially at this price point. make or break year ?

so what T E should grind his bones into the turf. Stand him up and hold him while T White comes barreling down and cleaves his head clean off , helmet and all. I can see it and Gronkowski's surprised look rolling over to Bellicheats feet. Then he can go after Brady. YEP ! In character i see ! Good advice just the same !!

it IS good fune my friend for sure. I like your attitude We have some. More importantly i sure hope we have someone who can actually catch the ball on a fly or go route. One on one coverage will happen : ) and our fast guy can stay healthy. Should we talk about Glass Goodwind or Jump Catch whatever his name was Nix found for the Bills. Catch and or YAC and i will be delighted regardless of 40 times. agree about dependent position there is another argument about sack stat between Hughes and Lawson last year. Team game. WRs need to put the ball away and move the markers. just do that and leave the rest to play calling. Try to feel better about the Off Biscuit , please ? I feel you , but tis the off season and hope should be plentiful about now ! no question. I recall most of us yelling all season 'Get him some damned space to run with it " He is the king of YAC in College. using the plays you just mentioned

Most did NOT love it. Some even loathed the pick. we hoped it was a great move.

Don't agree on this point. He was and inconsistent route runner. Never a timing WR was he. Not as bad as Stevie bad along those same lines. He made plays after the ball was in the air. damned good one too. This offense and young QBs likely need consistent play and depenadable route running more than a playmaker to develop their craft. I could be wrong with the last sentence because a playmaker could make a QB look better than he is. to me that is not honest development. that was chucking the ball and trusting your pass Catcher. Just like Tyrod was doing after Watkins " get me the ball " moment. He did and he did as well.

painfully and admittedly my perception as well.

and i think that was Buffalo's issue with giving him the option. let us not forget this was a business decision. He was a high risk to fulfill his next contract if with the Bills. Smart move. Robert W. was going to get paid as well. Business decision. I bet they honestly liked his work ethic and passion. who plays a whole season at WR with a groin !! business decisions are no reason to talk poorly about why Sammy was not kept. Wish both those guys well !

KB fills a niche need very very well. and i consider him an asset. Just do not ask too much of him. last year he was put in a very tough spot indeed. Hope that has all been made good for this coming season. Beane identified him as a great red zone threat. again i go back to Bills wanting to have Receivers who can , as a group check all the boxes. Back to Sammy Watkins. Maybe immature but hell of a natural talent. Was always my opinion his ankle injuries were sorely mismanaged for whatever reason . I have some conspiracy theories about Marrone as well and his bizarre relations with Whaley and Brandon and EJ Manuel. But after leaving he has not shown what he honestly was capable of early in his career. Can he ever return to Clemson form? and man he made some Amazing catches for Bills. wish it had gone differently. But that ship has sailed for Watkins and Buffalo i expect. a darned shame it was

well Bills may not have one j/k yes , that' what i said : )

so he finally cut his hair.

Kinda cool they gave him 99. wonder if that is some motivational move : )

I did notice and perhaps others did too ? He drew double coverages even when gimpy. He was used as a decent decoy when injured til that well ran dry. he was a viable threat for a couple years. But no i don't feel he accomplished nearly enough. Being available ( fully ) hurt him in more ways than one

Streater is healthy so far I read an article today with Beane quotes about wide receivers. on bleacher report I think. He seems to be about creating mismatches by bringing multiple skills sets who also can play xyz etc to some degree. I gathered he likes to WR by Committee for now at least.. just get open and move the chains. that does work. maybe less exciting

thanks, nice read. love this Kid

one of the best though.

You are sssspeaking of the Sun Lizard?

I was going to put a laugh emote on the one of yours i had to thank. Now i must put up the laugh for the Patriots comment. analytics is a tool to use many ways. The Patriots Dynasty is still a mystery.

Pegulas need to hang on for at least two more years on McBeanes. Everyone should know how young these guys are. Last year was a learning season for McDermott for sure. I have to excuse all of his mistakes, and he made a few : ) I expect he expects and we all expect improvement across the board from Coaching and FO. To have turned what Rex had utterly annihilated in 2 years is rather something. and to make the play offs while foundation building ? Its rather f'n mazing and joyful. The trend seems to be heading it the right direction to me. GO BILLS. and i do not expect playoffs or Allen to become Our Saviour too soon. But I have been pleasantly surprised by these Folks once or twice already. With Talent you can get a better return on risk. Bills are were still reteaching players fundamentals of football. No where near the confidence level that Eagles were able to appreciate. They were primed to go all the way last year. apples oranges in Coaching context. I do agree Philly killed it with aggressive play. it was an awesome game btw !
