wilcoam Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Unfort I highly doubt Listenbee makes the team let alone has a breakout season but I''d love to be proved wrong Though on the basis on whom we just signed at WR recently A breakout season amounts to about 25 receptions That would actually be a whole 9 more than the incredible talented Andre Holmes had last season Exciting... jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 TJ outplayed Kolby in college. Not the end-all be-all but I'm comfortably asleep on him until he wakes me up.Ya, but, that's before TJ perfected the jump catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He will replace Goodwin expect nothing more than that production, if he does more than that's all icing on the cake He may also replace him in durability issues? We need slower, bigger wr's who can sustain hits and play every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Listenbee was actually inexplicably in a dream I had last night. I can't remember all the details - but it involved a game and how well he played. Sigh - maybe a sign to take a break from this board and football ya think?

Bray Wyatt Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 He may also replace him in durability issues? We need slower, bigger wr's who can sustain hits and play every week. It is possible, but I don't want to label him mr glass without him atleast stepping on the field. He did run a 4.38 40 or whatever with double sports hernia so he could be tough. I don't know if he was injury prone in college or not, but if he wasn't then we should give him a chance to prove himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Listenbee played a really simple offensive package at TCU . He ran only a few routes.....and got by with his speed against slower defenders. Now, with the pro's, that tactic won't work. He will need to learn moves and a complex offense. I look to him to be practice squad material really while he learns his trade. Same would have happened last year imho. the physical skills are good, but not great. I read on this message board that Listenbee was as fast as Goodwin. I don't think so, his 4.39 will not stay with Goodwin at 4.23 (I think it was ). Still, a low round draft choice healthy again, we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 any production at all from Listenbee is icing on the cake (except we have nothing at WR after Sammy so, is there even really a cake?)...good thing we run the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listenbee was also a track star, I read that he ran a 100m (which is 110 yards) dash in 10.09, that's damn fast and he is 6'1" which would make him a taller Goodwin too Edit: Apparently it was 10.04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Mews50JyQ Edited March 23, 2017 by Bray Wyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'm still not sure why he was out the whole year. He had "hernia" repair bilaterally a year ago. Toward the end of the season, he had a "metal plate" put in his pelvis, per him. The training camp starts many months after his hernia surgery. Why couldn't he play?

Bray Wyatt Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 http://buffalowdown.com/2017/02/03/buffalo-bills-kolby-listenbee-ready/ It was also discovered that Listenbee was dealing with hip instability from a hit he endured while at TCU. “I had a play at TCU where I injured it and my tailbone was hurting, it shot through my tailbone and my pelvis was shifting, getting shot up,” Listenbee said of his hip injury. “Each game kind of like made it worse.” In December, he had hip surgery to repair it and said that he would return in 2017 — healthy.

Bray Wyatt Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 So he waited a whole year to fix his pelvis? Why wait until the end of your rookie season when you are just hanging out doing nothing all season? Well he wasn't eligible to come back until week 7, and by the time he got caught up on the offense and would make any contribution he probably wouldn't been able to play last year anyway, not that big of a deal as it looks like he should be good to go and he likely wont be behind any of the other receivers learning the offense this year as it is new to everyone. I do wish he had a chance to learn some route running techniques from Sanjay Lal but hopefully Watkins can help teach him what he learned in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasovon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I feel like we always have guys like this, Easley, Goodwin being the most recent examples.

Webster Guy Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Im pulling for him, but very few 5th round WR's end up making a big difference in the NFL. Plus I'm not sure the reason for our limited passing game was lack of open receivers anyway. But the kid has the cocky, can-do attitude that receivers need to win against NFL corners. Maybe he will defy the odds. Meanwhile, get me a solid #2 WR in the draft please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

re enlightener Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 i am sorry to report to everyone here some very bad news.... this morning i woke up on the couch and felt something underneath one of the cushions, i looked and to me sad surprise, it was none other than Kolby Listenbee it looked as though he had fallen between the cushions right before i had my 5th scotch and I slept on him all night. Remarkably, right beside him was goodwin, a wr I slept on a few times in the past as well. They were both scrunched up together and looked awful. Ill keep the board posted on their conditions.

White Linen Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 In his highlights video there's a few things that stood out to me. One is given his speed he didn't get that much separation. Second, a lot of his catches were NFL type because he caught a lot of balls with good coverage on him. Thirdly he doesn't seem to catch the ball with his hands and relies on catching with bent arms and using his body. I hope he can contribute but I don't see him as a diamond in the rough.
