buffaloboyinATL Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I know Knox has become the whimsical whipping boy of the off season, but with his athletic abilities, his development could provide us with the best TE that we have had in years. I am kind of glad he has been thrown into first team reps, so that he can begin developing a rapport with Allen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see what the big deal is.....he reached out and secured a ball that was not thrown to him perfectly which is exactly what a TE should do.

My best biking story was I did an 18 mile booze and bar hop bike ride just over 2 weeks after having knee surgery when I was supposed to not even ride a bike. Doctor was not happy with me...but hey, just told him it didnt really hurt...and he said "Of course not, you were drunk"...lol. I think I was more buzzed than drunk while on the bike itself, haha, but none the less it was a good day.

I think the plan was to hope he learned from Kroft and was ready to be the lead dog his sophomore year. That process may now be accelerated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 He might have the highest upside of any TE in Bills history. That’s not saying much and is sad at the same time. Hopefully this kid can set the bar for Bills tight ends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are saying "rocked" equals "head shot" then I am going to disagree with you....... a. In a real game he probably doesnt do this b.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It’s still not real football. OTA practices are performed in helmets and shorts, but don’t tell that to the coaches and teammates observing quarterback Josh Allen on the field in May. “I’m just enamored with Josh and the strides that he’s taken and seeing him become a pro and the passes and the throws he’s making. It’s next level,” said DE Eddie Yarbrough. “I’m truly excited to see his second season because it’s… grab your popcorn.” On the field the growth of Allen’s game is obvious. He has a firm grasp of the offensive system. He’s decisive with where he is going with the ball and his ball location is demonstrably improved from his rookie year. “I've been impressed with his methodical work ethic and approach,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “It seems like he understands the work that he has to do and we have to do this offseason to get us to where we're trying to get to as a football team. And then offensively as well. He's done a great job.” 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As funny as it looks, all players should be made to wear the padded helmet. Not only is it beneficial to the head, players wouldn't be taken hard plastic shots to other parts of the body also. The QB smacking his hand on one of the linemen's helmet would also bring less risk. Such a simple addition that doesn't seem to get any love.

Of course, we are getting way ahead of ourselves. We just have to hope that if that offer ever does come for him, it is one of those "good problem to have" situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
