BuffAlone Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 @MikeGarafolo I wonder why with all the talent and speed at TE in the draft...surely that money could be used for Woods?

BillsFan17 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would rather Bennett or just draft one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sounds like we want to go to a two TE set like the Pats. This makes me think we are not drafting a WR real high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud420 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 With no QB that can throw over middle. Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Cook and Bennett are definitely more receiver type players than Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsBytheBay Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Cook and Bennett are definitely more receiver type players than ClayI think Cook and Bennett have had more thrown to them. When given the opportunity Clay has shown ball skills, and elusiveness in the open field. But he runs blocks as well. If we don't no playoffs. No matter what, its a PASSING LEAGUE!If we had a defense like Denver's, our #10 scoring offense may have won a super bowl. I'm not saying it would have or not, but It kills me when we stick to cliches as fact of matter. The thing that most of these Super Bowl contending teams have in common is defense. The better of them have offense as well, or at a minimum a QB. But I think was actually shown in the last 10 or 15 years is defense wins championships. I'm not saying the offense was good the last two years, but our defense was absolutely horrible. Edited March 9, 2017 by JaxBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Cook was injured a bit last year, no? He never seemed to meet expectations, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If we plan on having 2 TE's (that we don't throw to) then I hope their plan is to get some shorter OL guys so Tyrod can see over the middle. How about those lifts they have for shoes? Otherwise this makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When given the opportunity Clay has shown ball skills, and elusiveness in the open field. But he runs blocks as well. Cook is faster and 6'5 Bennett is 6'6 I have no issue with Clay's versatility, but he is a much smaller than those other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) All of the focus is on getting Dennison his offensive pieces so far. Once they get a TE and WR, then they better start working on their defensive holes--WLB, CB, and S. Edited March 9, 2017 by TPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Having two receiving TE's would be ideal in a bootleg offense, as we can run two TE sets and have the option to run a bootleg either way with a TE releasing Edited March 9, 2017 by Bray Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanOverChin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This would be a very nice move by the Bills. Cook is one of the more versatile TEs in the league. Definitely a good receiver. We haven't had TWO very good, proven, veteran TEs on the roster at the same time in a long time. Pairing Cook up with Clay would make the Bills much less predictable. I happen to think that the two TE offense is one of the more difficult sets to stop because the defense is forced to contend with TEs who block in the running game and also sneak out into the passing game. This is one of the reasons why the Patriots' offense is so effective. The Pats now have Gronk and D. Allen at TE BTW. I don't think that it necessarily means that the Bills won't seek to draft a WR. Since they have some real holes defense at LB, S, and CB I see them trying to trade down in R1 so that they can acquire extra picks in order to adequately fill those holes. That is unless they are infatuated with QB D. Watson and the Clemson star QB s available at #10 overall. In that case, they may feel the need to forego their plan to trade down and select Watson instead, who some think is the next Dak Prescott.
