billykaykay Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Keeping woefully ill equipped coordinators because they are yes men is "doing a solid job"? Hackett did a commendable job with what he was given. Two(2) undrafted QBs & an injured rookie QB. Give the guy a break, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 I liked SJ for the most part as a player, and was surprised at the trade because I could easily see how he could be a nice complement with his unusual route running skills with the demonstrated great hands and superior YAC performance in college of Watkins. Yet, upon further thought. I was quite pleased with the seeming well-developed chemistry between Robert Woods and EJ. Perhaps we might move forward with multi-year 1000 yd producer, bain of top flight CBs like Revis SJ as our #1 and growingly reliable Woods as our #2. However, the braintrust had a vision. They knew they needed three WRs to be outstanding in the NFL. Also, though SJ was a proven productive player, he like the rest of the world is not perfect. He was a reasonable #1 but not a 1200 yd drop dead #1. Further he did have a history of doing well but had a number of high profile fails as well. His style is that he is virtually impossible to shut down. However, his style is that it is hard for a DB to predict will do and thus to cover him. However, his herky jerky style makes it hard for not only a Revis to cover him but also hard for EJ (or any other QB) to develop a chemistry with him. The Bills braintrust chose another vision. They felt Watkins had the hands, breakaway speed, and also the discipline to practice different releases and get separation. They felt Watkins could easily make EJ's job simpler by getting quick separation but also unlike SJ who needed a little time to get his separation with unpredictable route running but Watkins is unpredictable in which route he is going to run for the DB (the fly patterns and curls look the same until the DB chooses to sit on the curl (but he and the QB have predetermined the run the fly or the DB turns tail to run the fly but EJ/Watkins have predetermined to run a curl. Not only did the Bills plan call for the developing reliable Woods as our #2, but they also decided to go after #1 round physical talent Williams to come back to his hometown of Buffalo with the hope he would deal with the fact he had shown a round 8 character in his first two failed stops. By trading SJ for a pick which ended up being Bryce Brown the braintrust has a plan that looks credible and well executed. I like SJ but I love the potential the O has particularly the potential it has to be productive with EJ being merely adequate because it is too earl in his career to expect reasonably he will carry the team on his tslented but young shoulders. really good post!
