billsgpr88 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Colt Lyerla.. Give him a chance, maybe his fellow duck Kiko can steer him straight. Red flags aside, Colt is a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 No one in the NFL is touching him. There maybe more to his situation than what we know. For the record. I don't think the Bills are looking for the TE position to be a real factor in the passing game this year. With the glut of WRs, the TE role will be a safety valve and emphasis on run blocking.

YoloinOhio Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The Bills brought in a forward from the Canisius basketball team for a work out for TE. There was a thread on it, but I can't find it. He also had never played organized football, but had a interest in playing TE and was training to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Apologies--slight exaggeration, but 47 catches for 560 and 3 TDs as a rookie in 2010 is pretty darn good. Let's see if Ebron, ASJ or Amaro match that this year. Those numbers are similar to Chandler's best year. Moeaki was out 2011 and had a slip in production in 2012 before getting hurt again in 2013. My memory may be influenced by his pretty good game against us in 2010 (3 for 45) including some nice catches, which I caught firsthand live. He was the hyped "Next" TE but he never really made it there. He never lived up to the hype BUT he is still relatively young and will have every opportunity to show and prove in camp. To break down the "lack" of a TE is pretty easy. They all went super early. At this point in time I would not trade Kuoandjio for Ebron or Amaro so the bills made the right pick. Then when the Third came around Ebron, Amaro, Austin S-J, Niklas, and Fiedorowicz were all gone. And there was a pretty significant drop off to Rogers/Gilmore/Lynch; at that point so why bother drafting one. The Potential of Moeaki is greater than or equal to Rogers. Interestingly enough Tampa Bay got my Boner-Ville combo of Mike Evans/Austin Seferian-Jenkins. That will be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I hope Brandon Kaufman 6'5" now 245 lbs can play like Browns TE Jordan Cameron same height and weight. 80 catches, 917 yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I think, the Bills are actually sufficient at TE. It is not a position of emphasis in their offense, and the front office seems to feel satisfied with what they have, which is: Chandler is above average Moeaki was an "up and comer" if he gets back to where he was, that's a huge bonus Smith just blocks Gragg seems to have all kinds of talent, needs to start using it And I do think Kaufman will be the wild card Edited May 13, 2014 by CSBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Kaufman to TE??? That could be a nice move! If I'm not mistaken, hasn't he been listed as a WR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 When the Buffalo Bills drafted Sammy Watkins my personal desire to upgrade the TE position dropped considerably. and my desire to protect the QB from an Oline perspective doubled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Two things: If one of us is reading about it because ESPN wrote about it, then it's something our scouting department is aware of. How many more skilled players can our offense accommodate? Between Spiller, Jackson, Brown, Dixon, Summers, Watkins, Woods, Williams, Goodwin, Chandler and Moleaki, we're already three or four footballs short. Where exactly do the TE piners demand he fit into the offense?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Gragg will emerge this year. I think the Bills brass are hoping Gragg or Moeki (sp) will emerge. They know what they have in Chandler. He lead the team in catches last year. So he is pretty good, not great but good none the less. The Bills have plenty of weapons. it's on the coaching staff to draw up plays for these guys. It's really on EJ to make it happen. They have put alot on EJ . They have lots of faith in him at OBD. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltoonaPaBillsFan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We don't need no stinking TE ... I really wish we would get one as we haven't had one since Metzelars. Chandler is ok but no game changer and maybe Kaufman pan out but how many times have we heard a good TE is a QB's best friend especially a young one. For some reason the FO doesn't value the position God forbid we would actually utilize the position.on a regular basis for once? Chandler or whomever?

The Big Cat Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 God forbid we would actually utilize the position.on a regular basis for once? Chandler or whomever? Yeah, I wonder what a Bills offense would look like if our TE led the team in catches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
