KB is plenty fast enough to get open long. As is Zay Jones. He got open long a few times last year.
I think it's a myth that you have to have Bob Hayes or Renaldo Neimiah types to go long. I've seen bombs caught by guys that you needed a calendar to time.
If you send guys long and actually throw it to them some, the safeties will respect it. they'll have to. Nobody wants to get beat long. Could have heavy impacts on the pocket book come contract time. And you'll look like a fool on Sports Center. Nobody wants that.
Josh Allen's first pass as a Bills was a bomb.
The "we don't have WRs that can get open long" sounds like an excuse before the season even starts.
That's what we said before the Chargers game.
Nick Foles had 117 yards and a pick. They had 113 yards rushing to Atlanta's 74. Maybe run and stop the run still works after all.
i think the line will be better in the regular season. Don't think they'll be near as bad and should be able to provide some protection. Whoever is back there won't be able to hold onto the football too long or it will be Sack City. If they both do their job we should be ok IMHO.
KB could for sure because even if he's not open, he's open.
Besides, you don't needBob Hayes out there to throw a few bombs. I've seen them caught by slow guys. DBs will always respect the long ball. Getting beat deep looks real bad.
I have never seen him throw a bomb in 1 full regular season game approx and 7 pre sesson games. So I assume he can't until I see him throw one.
And yes, the OLIne could hold long enough. they did for Josh to throw a few. doesn't take long for the QB to drop back and then throw it way down field to a guy that at the time is about 15 yards down field. Even Hotrod could do that.
I joined the USMC in 1976 months after the guy got killed in a pugill stick fight. I never got slapped or punched. I did have the Drill Instructor put his hAnd up around my Adams apple choking me a little for a few seconds once. Never saw anyone get punched (not saying it didn't happen to you).
