His production trailed off with Flacco. The fans, local radio, all talked about him fizzling. Nothing to do with Jackson. And I’m on my phone. Is that a key pad? Funchess is an outside WR and John Brown is a slot WR, the way i see a WR is as good as his QB, did John brown fizzle or Flacco? My guess is Flacco since he was a healthy bench for a rookie QB imo.

blacklabel Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 11 minutes ago, Tatonka68 said: Brown says Allen > Jackson. Wants to get the ball. He probably also figured Daboll > Roman. Everyone knows Roman can design run plays like nobody's business but one of his shortcomings is his passing attack. He employs very elementary routes and concepts that aren't very difficult to defend. I can't think of one team Roman has coached that's had a WR go for 1000 yards in a season. He runs the ball, runs it again and then runs it some more. Usually ranks dead last in passing attempts wherever he goes. Brown recognized this and also sees that they have a QB who Roman will more than likely design run plays for. He sees Buffalo utilizing a downfield passing attack led by Captain Laserbeam and says, yeah I should've signed here last year, better late than never. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more pointing out that it wasn’t because of Jackson that his numbers fell off I agree, the team was heading south before Flacco got hurt.

Da webster guy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 20 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: THIS IS a fantastic signing. Him and Foster are going to go nuts. Yup. He's a lot like Goodwin but hopefully a little more durable. Has had his share of injuries but also knocked out a 1000 yard season with Zona. The guy can play for sure, I picked him up in fantasy last year and watched him for a few games. Isn't just a go route guy, had a great hitch thing going with Flacco. If you're playing a cover 2 defense and you put him and foster opposite watch the seams open down the middle. CB's can't run with either one of these dudes. Even though he's little, to me he's very impressive at contested catches, which Goody never was. He'll love Josh's ball , Flacco throws a rocket when he needs to.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah I don't love this one. But I understand the process and the idea that all of this speed on the field kills. I think this is an overpay for a guy who is similar in skill and age to Deonte Thompson. He's been more productive, but I don't love this one. But with Josh Allen's skillset, as many have said, it makes a lot of sense. I want to wait on guarantees and such before I judge it fully. The fact that he turned us down last year annoys me a bit.

I actually believe that Foster and Jones have more upside than the 2 guys we just spent a boat load of money for. Allen would really benefit from a #1 who opens get open and helps the 2nd and 3rd WR run free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Foster and Brown on the outside running deep routes, opening up the underneath area for Zay Jones and Cole Beasley out of the slot. Add a big-bodied tight end to the mix and this offense is in business. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 This should stop any discussion of Buffalo drafting Marquis Brown. At this point they have enough speed, and more than enough small receivers. I wouldn't rule out drafting a receiver, but I expect it would be a big guy, just not early. I think DK Metcalf is probably out of the picture, unless Beane also signs good offensive and defensive tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 With these receiver signings I feel pretty confident we're going d-line at #9. Oliver will be the pick if he's still there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Important to note that his 750 yards last season is misleading. He was playing with Lamar Jackson for half the year, who they didn’t let pass the ball much. When he did pass the ball, he wasn’t very effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
