  1. That was a whiff, but he set his foot and wound up on that whiff, so I still give Josh credit for standing steady. May have hit the junk? Kind of crazy that a guy can just throw a UFC punch at your midsection but I guess he's going for the ball. Allen looks comfy and unphazed, and the Watts are scary dudes. Good ball security any way you slice it.

  2. The disruption is huge. Same goes for Edmunds. He only has 1.5 sacks but imagine that dude getting anywhere near you. I know there was a play last week (that I can't find) where Edmunds crashed in on Duck untouched, and Hodges just tossed it away like "nope". Those plays don't really hit a lot of stat sheets. This defense can be chaos for QBs right now.

     

    And Jerry still has 4.5 sacks so he's contributing. His 10 sack years were on bad teams where he was pretty much the guy, and now he's a piece of the puzzle. You've got Ed Oliver now, Tremaine Edmunds, Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson, and then Jerry Hughes still picking up 5-6 sacks a season? That's scary.

    RBs with at least 100 rushing attempts this year...

    How much of a bust has Alvin Kamara been this year? Yikes

     

    I'm not too worried about Devin, yet. As others have said that Watt play was great, and I assume it's contributing to the rate here. If it continues though who do we turn to? Gore and Yeldon? Yeldon has had some serious fumble issues in the past himself, but I guess it may be worth seeing him a bit more over these next couple of games. This team really needs another RB.

    Realistically you don't have to run a 4.3 to be a burner.. anything in the 4.40s in insanely fast

     

    4.5s are still average NFL WR speed and they still run 15-20 mph at that speed

     

    And the game is changing a bit. 40 times aren't end all be all but unless you are an insanely crafty route runner you better have good speed to seperate.  There aren't alot of guys with Keenan Allen's route running abilities

     

     

    Look I get it and I'll stop so as to not hijack. This isn't about Duke as he runs like a block of wood, but it's just completely false to say that 4.72 in general is too slow when some of the best ever ran in 4.6-4.8 territory.

    right but when you post the exception to the rule and ignore why he was the exception it doesn’t do much in furthering the conversation 

     

    I posted about 8 exceptions actually, and I can keep going. My argument is that there's no real cut-off for an acceptable 40 time, let alone it being 4.72, as history shows,. This is further based off the argument  that jrober just regularly makes stuff up to trash Bills players. 

     

    He flat out said 4.72 is too slow to make it as a WR in the NFL. This is completely false.

    Duke has no speed,  is not at all quick and has about the same vertical leap as Cody Ford.

     

    He has nice body control and very good ball skills and is very physical.   He's basically an undersized and slow receiving tight end.  

     

    You are comparing him to WR's who were smooth and sudden and had a lot of traits Duke does not have beyond just being slower in the 40 than most of them.

     

    I'm not really comparing him to anybody per my original disclaimer. I'm making light of the statement that 4.72 in general is too slow to be a WR, especially when considering that the best to ever do it ran a 4.71.

    Jrober38 did say "typically".

     

    Cris Carter, Chad Johnson, Hines Ward, Brandon Marshall, and Brandon Lloyd for honorable mention? Lots of slow 40 times for a lot of good receivers. If anything, it seems far more rare for the 4.3 burners to turn into anything more than gadget players, let alone a Hall of Famer.

    Drew Haddad, Martin Nance, and Da'Rick Rodgers say hello!

     

    But did any of them lead the CFL in receiving? I know it's meaningless, but it's still pretty cool. Plus only Da'Rick also had an NFL TD, so there's a tiny bit of understandable magic to Duke and I'm on board. But yeah, totally down to pick the next practice squad WR heart throb, it is a thing.

    It’s fair to look at numbers deeper. 
     

     

    Of course, it's also fair to strip things down a bit and focus on what matters - wins, and points. I totally agree, we're just circling each other, but 25 TDs is production. I really don't understand why people discount rushing TDs. If Josh goes 3-27 passing but runs for 180 yards and 3 TDs in a playoff game that we win, we still win.
