machine gun kelly Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I seriously doubt there would be anyone. They are too hard to find. That's why we should take a long look at one in the 2nd or 3rd next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've bemoaned our TE situation in the past, too, but Chandler has made improvements to his game each season in my opinion. He's one of the guys this offense can actually hang their hats on, though it'd sure be nice to have a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've bemoaned our TE situation in the past, too, but Chandler has made improvements to his game each season in my opinion. He's one of the guys this offense can actually hang their hats on, though it'd sure be nice to have a superstar. Although the team has certainly been in a worse position with their TE's. I don't see a lot of improvement.. he is what he is and that is a I target. Blocking TE? Nope. I found it telling that he tested the FA waters last winter. He got zero takers, and instead of a pay bump. Signed with the Bills again at a pay cut. That says a lot of what the league thought of him. That said he is by far the teams best TE. I wish he was more of a red zone threat, he has the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That said he is by far the teams best TE. That's sort of like talking about Jim Abbott's "best hand," but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I still like Andre Smith from Dallas. Kid is a beast with good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's sort of like talking about Jim Abbott's "best hand," but I digress. Chandler is OK. Last year he dropped a few big passes, if I recall correctly, but he has usually been reliable. I believe he is a serviceable blocker and just above that in the passing game. The Bills have certainly been in worse shape there. Lee Smith is a solid, if unspectacular, blocker. He actually seems to have good hands, and I don't recall him dropping passes. But he's a slow lumbering guy and when he's in the game the D typically doesn't have to pay all that much attention to him in the passing game. But these guys have been getting dinged-up in preseason, and I'm concerned the Bills will need to use another TE more than they would care to. I'd love to see a guy who can block and pass. Doesn't have to have great speed, but should be comfortable in the passing game and at least a good a blocker as Smith.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The only issue I have with him, seem to recall him him getting a number of holding calls against him at rather critical times. If it were Chandler who's considered an average blocker I'd say OK fine, but for the guy who's on the team for his blocking abilities seemed to get called too often.

He was flagged a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Oh Sweet Jeepers, what a letdown. I opened this thread thinking it was like the start of a JBoyst thread: "A man walks into a bar at happy hour with all the tight ends starting to become available." My bad.
