I’m assuming that will have *some* impact in how they need to defend us, regardless of what the box score says for KB.

Benjamin isn't a speed guy and any big play to him will take time to develop. The Jets may have provided a blue print for every team we have left to play. Even with Benjamin, this team lacks some serious speed at the WR position. The blueprint has always been there. But other teams don't have the D-Line of the Jets coupled with the lack of energy by the Bills on a Thurs night. The Bills will show up at home and be a different team than what we saw. Just hope it's enough. I think KB will catch 4-5 passes at most for modest yardage, it would be great if one of those was a jump ball TD catch.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 You don't trade picks for a guy unless you think he'll be a difference maker, he should be looked at a a difference maker from here on out imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Mccoy was asked about KB today and he said the first thing he asked him was “can you block”? Edited November 8, 2017 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Benjamin and Thompson outside, Matthews in the slot, Clay at TE, and Shady at RB. Oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Tyrod is excited: http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/11/what_tyrod_taylor_said_about_buffalo_bills_adding_kelvin_benjamin.html "It's definitely big to get him," Taylor said. "He's a talented receiver and a big target for sure. He just has to continue to keep learning the playbook and the things that we're doing here. We have to find ways to give him opportunities to make plays." ” If you look at the plays he's made over his career, he's definitely made a bunch of contested throws," Taylor said. "You just have to give him a chance in those opportunities when he's one-on-one with a DB. More times than likely he's going to have the size advantage. We've talked to try to get on the same page and it's going to to take reps, but just giving him the chance. It's his ball or nobody's ball." Good to see Tyrod acknowledging what he needs to do with a 6’5 receiver on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 This is a very talented receiving corps now (and will be even more so when Zay gets healthy). There are no more excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no more excuses. It is ? It's better in theory at one position. But I bet you mean if KB gets enough respect it will help the other receivers and perhaps the play calling? That might take a while. But I am all for it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Are we talking "difference" or are we talking "production"? I think he definitely will make a difference, even if he doesn't put up numbers. I think him just being on the field opens up the run game for Shady, and gives opportunities to Matthews and Zay. They'll definitely have to respect our pass game a bit more than they might have otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh. haha. I think Sammy is good, but Benjamin will have a different effect. Doesn't mean Sammy isn't good. I DO think that Benjamin is a better fit for what we need as a team than Sammy was.

Call it what you will, but he doesn't throw it to guys unless they're reeeeeal open. Kelvin Benjamin isn't the kind of guy that gets real open. He doesn't get separation, he's just flat out bigger than you. It'll be interesting to see if TT can pull the trigger, even though he's covered, and let him just go up and get it.

It's better in the most important position: #1 WR. That allows the other receivers, who aren't #1 WR's, to move to roles better suited for their talents. KB brings the size, DT brings the speed, JM is the wily veteran in the slot. Then on top of that you have Clay, who is a mismatch for LB's and S's. Then to top it all off, you have Shady who is a dual threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
