johnwalter Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Mayock has always been my favorite media scout.

truth on hold Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Mayock has always been my favorite media scout. Nice piece on Sammy: http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Mayocks_Slant_Sammy_Watkins_rookie_report/c9e657c0-dec3-4b6f-96c9-e6951e3a53b5 He highlighted what most are missing: Sammy's powerful upper body and fast arms, he's shaking off press coverage at the line by swatting away the defenders hands like nothing. IMO if bills were paying attention against pats they would have realized that he's a nightmare matchup for revis. Revis can't jam him at the line, and has to respect his speed downfield meaning he'll bite on upfield moves like on the catch mayock showed.

Especially as he gets close to 100% healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I still get chills every time I hear Goodell say "The Cleveland Browns have traded the #4 pick in the NFL Draft to the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are now on the clock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Really good piece. It even seemed like it was done before the Jets game because I don't remember him mentioning any plays from that, which highlighted ability to get deep and that incredible cut and acceleration on the 61 yard TD.

K-9 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Really good piece. It even seemed like it was done before the Jets game because I don't remember him mentioning any plays from that, which highlighted ability to get deep and that incredible cut and acceleration on the 61 yard TD. Second play in the clip. And as good as his hands are and as strong as he is, his feet are what sets him apart. Just fantastic footwork. I can see why my friends told me to just look at his feet when watching his highlights. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't analyze any plays from the Jets game I don't think, you mean at the beginning when they showed a few quick hits? I remember Texans, Revis, and a few against Vikes. I will have to watch it again (i could watch it all day... ha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's ridiculous when you realize he's practically a kid and will only get better. I can't even imagine what he's going to look like when he's been in the league for a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Doug Whaley! So true. I couldn't believe it. Me and my buddies were watching Watkins dominate in the Orange Bowl and saying "That guy is unstoppable. I would love the Bills to get him but there is no way that will happen." I was thrilled with the trade right off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's kinda hard to believe the Browns didn't take Watkins. They would've had him and Gordon in a similar vertical scheme like ours. That's deadly. I'm glad they made the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 This may be the best WR since Jerry Rice. I hope we can afford him in 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 K-9 is right. Sammy's footwork is outstanding. I don't think I've seen a rookie so smooth running routes since Larry Fitz. I don't think we have to worry about a "rookie wall" w/ #14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 @JasonLaCanfora: Bills star rookie WR Sammy Watkins played through broken ribs in Sept. Feeling much better lately; stats have soared: http://t.co/0qOQwh8tUM Somebody ask LaStartARoomah if the Bills are still in danger of moving to Toronto? He highlighted what most are missing: Sammy's powerful upper body and fast arms, he's shaking off press coverage at the line by swatting away the defenders hands like nothing. IMO if bills were paying attention against pats they would have realized that he's a nightmare matchup for revis. Revis can't jam him at the line, and has to respect his speed downfield meaning he'll bite on upfield moves like on the catch mayock showed. This brings up an annoying aspect of Vic Carucci's mid season report card -- he mentioned Revis "made Sammy virtually disappear" in the first game and this was clearly not the case. For whatever reason Orton didn't target him, but he got consistent separation. Kyle won't make that mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This may be the best WR since Jerry Rice. I hope we can afford him in 3 years Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Lets just hope Sammy can be an AJ Green/Dez Bryant type receiver where he has a presence in every game and has to be accounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
