    Knox is has regressed this year in the pass catching department. 

     

    When compared to other TE's this year

     

    16 in receptions

    18th in targets

    19th in yards 


     

    I'm not sure how that doesn't jive with what I already said.  He's been hindered this year because of poor offensive line play.  Get him more targets and all those numbers will go up. 

     

    I don't think it is Knox level of play that is keeping his targets down.

    The frustration is not just the drops.

     

    It's that other receivers seem to make incredible contested catches against us weekly (Dane Jackson has been regularly abused).

    Meanwhile, our WRs never seem to make the difficult plays and are also blowing way too many of the easy ones.

     

    It's probably because our receivers are practicing against Dane Jackson and then get surprised at the CB play on game day.

    Knox is the only 1 that is not easily replaceable, and I think he is just average.  Could be upgraded, but would be hard, too expensive as he already is paid well above average.  Bad contract

    I don't think it's a bad contract at all, frankly.  You can complain about the lack of production but part of that is a lack of opportunity because they need him to pass block, and part of it is Dorsey's scheme.  Knox is electric with the ball in hands, the Bills just haven't capitalized on it in meaningful ways this season.

    McKenzie should be shown the door

     

    Davis should be regulated to a depth WR

     

    Knox should be replaced with a true #1 TE

    There are two, maybe three "true #1 TE" in the NFL.  You're crazy if you think Knox can be easily replaced.  He's been hindered all season and gets limited opportunities to actually run routes because he has to pass block all the time because the line is garbo. 

  5. Getting new players in the system involved is probably my biggest complaint about McDermott.  It takes him way too long to slot in players and it makes evaluating rookie talent almost impossible.  

     

    Elam has looked decent, but have no idea what the future holds. 

     

    Cook: Currently it feels like he's a wasted pick with the touch count.  He hasn't been used as the pass catching RB we thought he can be at all.  Again, I chalk this up to McD though.  It's the reason guys like Blackshear are getting snatched up while we held onto guys like Zack Moss.

     

    Bernard: I hated the pick at the time, and I still don't like it.  I'm sure he's a high character guy but it's becoming so apparent that the Bills can't let go of Edmunds. 

     

    Shakir: Who knows? Could be good, could be nothing.

     

    Araiza: No comment.

     

    Benford: Best pick considering the value.

     

    Might as well stop talking about the draft after that.

    He's been bad at some aspects of playing slot corner (pass coverage man to man) and good at others (run D, zone)

    You're right to point this out.  He has been very good at run defense and he's definitely better in zone coverage.  

     

    I understand it's asking a lot, but I want to see more from him in that man coverage given the contract he received.

    No need to read them if they bother you so much. 

     

    Don't think it's been a mystery to anyone watching games that Johnson seems to be getting beat/picked on a lot more than usual this year, it's interesting to see why that is.  

     

    Not sure how bringing attention to a Cover1 video has anything to do with me, but that's an interesting, if not refreshing take.

    I've gotten a lot of flak for saying this.  In this week's game thread someone was trying to argue with me that Johnson has been our best secondary player. 

     

    He's been bad and a lot of fans don't want to admit it.

    Perhpas professional athletes have a better immune system, but if i’m sick on Tuesday, i’m still feeling some of the effects (mostly fatigue) on Thursday, even if i’m “better”.

    You don't have teams of doctors pumping you with IVs, oxygen, supplement routines, etc... though.

     

    They can minimize the effects a lot but you're right that it probably still is a bother.

    The quality of 'The Passenger' has plummeted. Domestic Flights, are the new 'Greyhound Bus', and too frequently, a free for all.

    If someone is unresponsive, and a possible danger to the flight, protocols are followed, in dealing with such an individual.

     

    Except they've kept a very premium pricetag.  

     

    Don't get me wrong though, I agree with your premise, most people are awful.

    Your obession with this player is creepy and weird. Especially after all his primadonna antics. He is a cancer. The Bills won't sign him and I will be proven right again. Time for you to move on.

    I have never heard the pot call the kettle black any harder in my life. 

     

    The lack of self awareness is astounding.

    Don’t know what you’ve been watching. TJ has been our most reliable secondary player this year. 

    More so than Poyer? I certainly don't agree with that.  

     

    He might be our most reliable corner, but that's a pretty low bar. He's been getting picked on in coverage quite a bit.

    I mean that really isn't an excuse...plenty of low round guys do well...look at JC Jackson, a UFA...although he got smoked by Diggs routinely and looked terrible in San Diego which makes me believe he might be a system guy.

    Agreed, not really making excuses for the guy, he's been posterized way too many times this season. I was just lamenting that we do need to keep realistic expectations in mind, even though he's being asked to do more.
