Jones and Matthews have plenty speed. The difference is you will not see as many go routes this year. West coast offenses is more horizontal in attack than vertical. Sure niether are as dynamic as Watkins but either can beat single coverage.

This simply is an unsuccessful team trades away one of the few players the national media knows so it is a bad move. The Pats did the same thing to the best 2 players on there defense last year simply for picks not players. Ej Gaines is very similar to Darby. Both had good rookie years then fell off. Most unbias opinions think Gaines will be a better fit in our scheme more so than Darby. Matthews has been productive every year. I like his size. Imo the players brought in are probably 85% the caliber of the caliber being sent out. Overall i dont think it effect the team in the standings. Throw in the 2nd and 3rd and its a win in my book.

The combination of Matthews, Jones, and Boldin is better than any combo Buffalo had on the field last year. Very simple with our run game find the single coverage and get them the ball.
