Bills looking to move down: rapoport


Recommended Posts

 

Or send both out on pass routes. Either one or both will get mis-matched and TT will have a short quick pass he can throw safely. This is what Pats have been trying to do to the league but due to crimes or injuries they have not be able to execute (thankfully).

No, this is what you'll end up seeing:

 

TV announcer: Tyrod Taylor in the shotgun. Bills going 4 wide with Watkins, Chris Godwin (just a hypothetical), Clay and Howard. There's the snap. Taylor under pressure right off the bat and down he goes! Kony Ealey just flew past Jordan Mills for the sack on Tyrod Taylor. It wasn't even close.

The Pats have Tom Brady and an offensive line that can pass block. You take Howard, you're either asking him to help Jordan Mills with his pass blocking, while Clay is lined up as a receiver, or you're asking Clay to help Jordan Mills pass block while Howard is lined up as a receiver. In each case, you're either wasting the talent of a TE with a $9 million cap hit or you're wasting the talent of a TE you took 10th overall.

In the past when he was in his prime. Wood would slide over right or left because either lg, rg, or rt has been a sieve for years.

At least cogs and Glenn can now hold it down on the left side. Howard would be a real stud if they take him, he pans out, they use him correctly, and somehow re sign him to his second contract. Something the Bills bo longer can apparently pull off.

 

He could if he comes as advertised. Be a beast for years. When is the last time the Bills even had a competent and complete TE?

itd be a pretty hefty tag to go that far and its possible you might still see someone like foster.

Lol he is not saying they are gonna trade with each other. He was just stating we are a team that is likely to trade down and Falcons are a team likely to trade up. No were there does it say with each other

So I take you're going to line Howard up on the left side next to Cordy and Incognito, while Clay is over on the right side helping Mills pass-block?

Why are you so stuck on the idea that the team can't run a pass play without having a TE lined up next to Mills? They did it all year long last year.

Clay is useless.

 

Not sure if you saw 2016, but he lead the team in receptions.

Yet, no one else has tried this, I wanted the Bills to do this since we saw the damage inflicted by that scheme twice a year.

Clay led the team in receptions because Watkins and Woods were injured most of the time.

Sure they have...Washington did a fair amount of it last year with Davis and Reed, as did San Diego with Henry and Gates.

Can their offensive lines pass block without one of them having to help the right tackle? Also, those teams have Kirk Cousins and Phil Rivers as their QB,

That causation is a myth; he had only 7 fewer receptions in 3 fewer games in 2015 when both guys were healthy...and what does that have to do with you being stuck on the idea that the team can't run 2 TEs in pass routes on the same play?

Even more importantly, he had 15 receptions on 17 targets along with 3 TDs in his final two games with Taylor last season. And on one of those non-catches, it was blatant interference by Miami against him in the end zone that wasn't called.

Yes, they did it quite often in 2016, and Taylor had the longest time-to-throw of any QB (starter or backup) in the entire NFL.

Wait a minute dave, are you telling me that targets are the greatest predictor of statistical production for a pass-catcher?

You mean 552 yards? Come on man.

end of the season matters more with regard to predictions re next season. He was fully integrated into the offense in the last part of the season. He and Taylor were clicking.

LOL
