    I would bring Gabe back on a prove it contract easy. The blocking helps and in a WR3 type role I think he would excel 

    As a WR 4, that’s when he was at his best here, and even then, with his constant injuries, and miserable catch percentage, and getting intercepted with to much regularity…, ( because he wasn’t on the same page as his QB way to often) gotta “pass” on this,

    I’m leaving out the RBs, but here are the TEs and WRs that matter listed alphabetically:

     

    Coleman

    Kincaid

    Knox

    Moore

    Palmer

    Samuel

    Shakir

     

    I’m honestly interested in what people think. I’d put Shakir first, but not by a wide margin. 2-7 could go in almost any order IMO. 

    Shakir / Coleman / Kincaid 

    Samuel / Palmer / Moore 

    Knox 

     

    kinda like this, wtf do I know lol,

    Do we think Mack was more clutch in 2024 vs the Chiefs than Gabe in 2021?

     

    I feel like having 200 yards and 4 TDs against your rivals, including the go ahead TD with 13 seconds is pretty clutch.

    we and every Bills fan know that Gabe peaked that day as a WR, his down side is far more impressive, annually injured, 50% catch rate, regularly intercepted, rarely on the same page as his QB during his last couple seasons in buffalo, the offensive scheme has changed noticeably since he wasn’t re-signed by the team, look to the future Roscoe, the past isn’t going to help us, and neither is Gabe Davis,

    If it's a vet minimum training camp/pre-season deal to compete at WR with the idea that he can take the Mack Hollins role then I really don't see why the Bills wouldn't kick the tires so to speak? BUT is he a willing and capable ST player? Hollins was an ST ace and a very good blocker with some limited "pop" as a WR. Gabe is roughly as good a blocker and a better WR but if Gabe can't at least be a capable ST player (doesn't need to be an "ace" just a contributor) then it is hard to see him being able to make the roster just as a WR 4/5 when there's a crowded field there. 

    Frankly, Mack Hollins was way better in that Mack Hollins role than Gabe, Hollins has better hands, and was more clutch to boot in our system, Gabe is worn out, constantly injured and is “incomplete”  in something around 50% of his targets with both the teams he played for, why on gods green earth would we want to sign this guy, nuthin but luv for an ex Bills player, but…,

    I think the Bills are looking at some changes schematically and it began last year. It started with selecting Soloman in the draft, a much smaller quicker pass rusher than what they typically go for. Then there is the fact that the Bills began playing more man coverage throughout the year. And now drafting a CB with off the charts speed that can play man. Also, drafting another 3 tech DT when everyone thought it would be a 1 tech. The Bills still like their scheme, but it seems they are gradually mixing things up and we are going to see more of that this year.

     

    There is a lot of conversation about how other defenses have adapted to stop a Josh Allen led offense. With the way Buffalo's defense performed last year, perhaps it has become clear that offenses have found ways to combat a Bill's defense. I'm just speculating, but I have a hunch the new additions aren't just replacements for a specific defensive scheme. It seems to be about scheme diversity. These additions allow the Bills to mix up not only types of coverage but also defensive line rotations with guys that have different skill-sets. The potential is there for the Dline to wreak some havoc by mixing up the scheme and the type of player on that line. Not sure how they intend to do it. It does look like they can be more flexible now though. To me Landon Jackson is just another piece that allows for a diverse rotation.

    I agree with your points, opponents have indeed been figuring out out defense, as an example, our third and fourth down inability to get off the field, imo, a schematic change on defense has been needed for some time now, I so hope with the coaching additions, along with player acquisitions that our defense will be put in a position to succeed, which has not been the case over the last couple of seasons, jmo.
