    Are people really saying any of that? Weird.

     

    I mean, number 2 makes some sense. Allen clearly work, but it's fair to question how hard. I hadn't heard it compared to Diggs. I'm sure Diggs works hard on his body, as I think it's clear Allen does. Beyond that I don't think receivers have anywhere near as much work beyond keeping in shape as hard-working QBs do. A guy like Peyton Manning or Brady has insane work habits even in the offseason. I hadn't heard that about Diggs.

     

    I'd seen the podcast. And while it's not the greatest thing Allen said, it's one sentence, immediately after a horrible game, and we don't know what Diggs said. To me, I don't hold that against him one bit.

    The CBS Sports national host on WGR this am said Diggs was a top 5 wide receiver. So yes, they are really saying that...

    CURTIS SAMUEL A BILL

    You can look at this two different ways:

     

    Positive.  
    Samuel knows the Brady offense and had his best season with Joe as his OC.  He also brings a dimension of speed and explosiveness has been lacking.  Brady has also shown that he can utilize the talent better than Dorsey could as evidenced by James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Ty Johnson, and Dalton Kincaid who all came on after he took over.

     

    Negative.

    Samuel runs 70% of his snaps out of slot.  The Bills have Shakir who established himself as an upcoming slot receiver.  Is Samuel going to take snaps away from a promising player?  Also at this point in his career Diggs seemed to trending into more of a slot receiver.  

     

    You can argue that while Buffalo gets a player with more speed, they now have 3 WR’s best suited for slot WR and not a true outside WR unless you include Hollis.

     

    Either way it’s a signal that Buffalo is doubling down on what Brady wants to do on offense.  They tried the same under Ken Dorsey and he never found a way to really get the most out of players like OJ Howard, James Cook, or Nyheim Hines.  Hopefully that changes 

    I believe Joe Marino reported yesterday that Samuel runs 49% out of the slot, the remainder out wide or in the backfield.

    Steelers @ Bills. Monday, January 15th at 4:30pm.

    And this is a game not having Dodson could be big loss.  With a torn labrum, he can probably play but he will be limited vs when he is healthy, not sure we want that.  Hopefully Spector and/or Williams can step up.

    I am getting low offers from people who have tickets in the lower bowl........there will be a lot of Steelers fans there.  It will be ironic given what happened last week.

    I'll take Spector over Dodson if the Steelers are going run first.
