dpberr Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 When's the last time the Bills had a *great* tight end? The list of TEs going through Buffalo since Pete has been as long as the QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Anybody else feel as though he is our biggest disappointment on offense? Seems like we do not utilize him for the talent that he had and when we try to he drops balls and always seemed nicked up. For all the money he makes seems like O'leary gets more out of his talents.To answer your question...I believe he can still work out. But, yes, I getthe feeling it may not happen due too many different issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I know the Pegula's could save them selves & the team a lot of money by paying players what they are worth & just in the fact of Taylor, Gilmore, & Clay they would save enough to get a real QB . Then maybe Clay, Watkins (when healthy) & others will be able to get more targets & maybe n Clays case catch those targets when thrown to !!

DasNootz Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Clay does everything we ask him to do. He blocks well and runs good routes. Tyrod cant seem to find him, and that's either a Tyrod issue or a scheme issue. Either way, he's wasted talent on this roster, which boggles my mind because he's honestly one of only offensive weapons at this point with injuries.

BmarvB Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) He's not being used right. His role is primarily that of an extra blocker for the running game who can go out and catch passes. For what he's being paid, he's supposed to be a targeted receiver who can also block but in reality this offense was built for running and he's going to be providing more run support than receptions (drops don't help, neither does TT not attacking down the middle.). It's not going to be a high powered scoring machine. That's not the coaching philosophy. Edited October 31, 2016 by BmarvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I thought Clay's game improved when SW went out. Got more targets. Sammy's crying was actually bringing Clay's game down. Yesterday.............eh everyone was terrible so I wouldn't go too far with that. Lets see the next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Wired for Sound: Charles Clay (2:36) In this edition of Wired for Sound, we mic'd up TE Charles Clay in the Bills' game against the New England Patriots. No TDs this year to me is unbelievable Tyrod is a factor in that stat halfway into 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 No TDs this year to me is unbelievable He had some chances, but slowed down and fell near the endzone. He is like allergic to the goal line or something. Clay looks better the more we get him involved. He needs to have like 10 targets; no point wasting them on Felton or Tate.

jms62 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 He's no Gronk, despite our wishes. GronK?!?!? If he was Jack Doyle it'd be a huge upgrade another guy we paid that didn't pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Clay has had 1 really good NFL season in what is now his 6th season (and he has played in 13 or more games every season). I agree that Clay is a bit underutilized. We paid for his 2013 season and it seems like we never intended to utilize him in that manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkwoodus13 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I always thought Simms was better than Clay...Was hoping Miami matched that stupid contract, so Simms would have been free. Tyrod barely throw in the middle of the field, clay has been nicked up from the beginning.... seems timing between him and Tyrod is off. grossly overpaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Why the heck did it take until yesterday for the Bills to finally give Clay a more prominent role in the passing game? Started using McCoy and Felton a bit differently to help create mismatches. Why did it take this long to do things like this? Also saw TT throw a seam pass to O'leary in this one. It was broken up, but hey - he threw one right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Why the heck did it take until yesterday for the Bills to finally give Clay a more prominent role in the passing game? Watch the all 22 nothing changed with Clays routes just the QB took all this time and likely job on line to finally target him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jms62 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Why the heck did it take until yesterday for the Bills to finally give Clay a more prominent role in the passing game? Lets not miss the fact that the Browns were rated Dead Last vs Tight Ends.

starrymessenger Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Clay is one of the most complete, well-rounded TE's you'll find anywhere in the NFL and the Bills are lucky to have him. He's been an absolutely huge factor in the success the Bills have had in their running game over the last couple years, both strategically and tactically. His contract makes him somewhere around the 7th-10th highest paid TE in the league; considering how rare 3-down TE's have become and how well he plays every facet of the position, he is worth every penny of it. You put this guy in an offense that can work the seams or let him play with a QB that can hit him on time and with accurate ball placement and people would be voting him into the Pro Bowl every year. Spoken for truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
