    Keon still has an uphill battle he’s not quick, fast, or even that big. Good game but let’s not crown this guy just yet. Last year was not a good rookie year, even by rookie standards. Not exactly trying to get hyped over the next Gabe Davis

    That's patently false.

    Even with missing 4 games due to injury, he was 8th in rookie WR receiving yards, tied for 8th with two others in TDs. 

    And he measured 6'3" and 213 lb at the combine.

    I like Colin, but when has this actually been a problem for the Bills offense. They are consistently a top scoring team. And Jimbo Cook is atleast an A… if Keon and Kincaid start showing up like this every game, look out, suddenly this team is “loaded with weapons”…

     

    Point is, to Cowherd, and the guys who got shredded by Beane on WGR after the draft complaining about WR. When you look at the offense, the production, game in, game out, scoreboard, and their takeaway is this team needs more offense?

     

    Seriously? Josh doesn’t need anything offense. The difference between Josh and the success enjoyed by Mahomes and Hurts has NOTHING to do with skill players. It’s 110% on the other side of the ball. Josh has never enjoyed the type of elite playoff defense that those two get to fall back on to bail them out from time to time.

     

    The Bills gave up 100 points in two weeks last year, opened up this season giving up a 40 burger, and they are 2-1 in those games. Offense isn’t an issue, at all.

    I mostly agree with you but for 3 quarters yesterday the Bills offense did not look good enough. Jerry Ostroski says that Brady was far too conservative for much of the game.

    I think over the next handful of games the offense will find a more consistent rhythm. And hopefully when some injured and suspended D players come back the D will be a lot better too. We'll see...

    I do believe this team has more of a ceiling than any of our recent iterations. 
     

    I’ll acknowledge that.  
     

    I just don’t know if i see anyone like Coleman, Kincaid, Sanders, Walker etc becoming a bucket getter by year end.  
     

    The hope is probably that all those high ceiling guys add to the laundry list of A- and B+ guys around JA. 
     

    Maybe Oliver/Bosa can give us that. 
     

    I think that's the case. No game breaker in the skill positions (Coleman is not that) but a lot guys who can contribute and have some big games here and there.

    When I rewatched highlights I saw a lot of good things from Bosa. If they can keep him on a pitch count I think he will be a big factor this year. Oliver looked great. When we get Hairson and Hoecht on D I think that unit can be dominant at times.

    I literally just watched the Cowherd vid seconds before coming here and noted the LeBron comment. 

    Josh doesn't have an A+ skill guy on O, but he's got a lot of B and maybe one or two B+ guys.

    Let's see with better play calling and a healthy D how the team is after about 5 or 6 games. If Josh still needs to carry the team to victory, then Cowherd's point might be fair. But I suspect that team will be stronger and more balanced then.

    Dawson Knox Appreciation

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Perhaps @ganesh is being modest but I feel a PDF is not necessary (some won't download it) and we can post the full PDF contents here (it's not overly long). Thanks for the write up and supporting a real team player.

    Dawson Knox: Buffalo’s Tight End of Grit and Glory

     

    From Walk-On to Bills Mainstay

    Dawson Knox’s story has never been about the easy path. A quarterback in high school who battled injuries, he walked on at Ole Miss with little fanfare and few catches to his name. Scouts saw raw athleticism more than polish. But what stood out was his drive—the quiet, relentless work ethic that transformed him from a forgotten prospect into an NFL draft pick.

     

    When the Buffalo Bills selected him in the third round of the 2019 draft, it wasn’t just about measurables. It was about potential. About a player who embodied resilience, toughness, and the kind of determination that fit the DNA of Buffalo itself.

     

    Plays That Feel Like Buffalo

    Knox’s game isn’t glamorous. It’s gritty. He’s as proud of a key block as he is of a touchdown. He’ll fight through defenders for three extra yards that won’t make the highlight reel but might win a drive.

     

    One play that encapsulates him came in January 2022, during the Bills’ wild-card playoff against the Patriots. On Buffalo’s opening drive, Josh Allen rolled right and fired a pass Knox’s way. The ball seemed destined to sail out of reach—until Knox twisted his body mid-air, extended to the limit, and somehow reeled it in for the touchdown.

     

    It was Buffalo’s first score in a game that would become one of the franchise’s most dominant playoff performances. And it was pure Dawson Knox: impossible catch, relentless focus, refusing to give up on a play that looked dead. By the night’s end, Knox had found the end zone twice—and came within a single yard of a third touchdown. It wasn’t just production, it was persistence, the kind of never-say-die performance that set the tone for the entire team.

     

    “I trust Dawson. When the game’s on the line, I know he’s going to fight for that ball.” – Josh Allen

     

    In 2021, Knox broke Buffalo’s single-season touchdown record for tight ends. But even in that career year, his identity wasn’t the scoreboard—it was the sacrifice. The willingness to take a hit over the middle. The unselfish joy in celebrating a teammate’s score. Every play feels like Buffalo itself: hard, cold, unrelenting, built on pride—and defined by a\ never-say-never belief that no moment is too big.

     

    A Bill for Life

    Knox’s connection with the city runs deeper than stats. He’s embraced its winters, its work ethic, and its identity as an underdog that refuses to quit. Head coach Sean McDermott puts it plainly: “Dawson is the guy who’ll do whatever it takes—block, catch, fight through pain. That’s Buffalo football.” – Sean McDermott

     

    That’s why many in Buffalo believe Dawson Knox is more than just a player. He’s a symbol. The kind of athlete who doesn’t just wear the jersey but lives what it represents.

     

    The Legacy in Motion

    For Knox, football is more than a game. It’s family, faith, and city all bound together in blue and red. His plays remind fans of Buffalo’s own story—fighting for every inch, never backing down, finding pride in perseverance. Dawson Knox isn’t just a tight end. He’s Buffalo’s tight end. And if the city has its way, he’ll be a Bill for life.

    Joe Marino’s All 22 from Bucs preseason game

    yea.. right off the bat.. I disagree with Joe BIG TIME...  Walker got double teamed... another words.. he took on 2 players. there are going to be times where many DT 330+ pounds will get taken out. 

     

    Fact that he needed to be double teamed on a play like this is great... cause it shows he is doing his Job as 1 tech..  

     

    1 Tech DT is not all about big plays.. its about demanding double team. 

     

    I will argue also on a defensive design like that.. letting your 1 Tech DT getting taken out is what you want cause it makes it easier for your S. and LB to do their job. 

     

    Fact is.. he took 2 individuals out of the play making it easier for the S/LB to get in there job  

     

     

    I will also add that, that TB guard did a great job pushing on that shoulder. That is what turned Walker around.

     

     

    This is why I prefer Cover 1 all 22 over this guy.

     

    Walker did take on a double team but was pushed back a few yards. Not ideal.

    Did you watch the whole video or just the first play breakdown? I watched the whole thing and while Joe called out Walker on that first play breakdown he called out Walker on four other plays where he praised him. So plenty of love from Marino for Walker. He called him "dominating" and said he had "very good technique" and a "good feel for where the ball was."

    A player can have a good game but not be perfect. Marino can like Walker's play but not love every single play.

    I'm a fan of Marino and like his analysis a lot. I think you may have jumped to a rushed conclusion here about what Joe thinks about Walker.
