I like that he's getting a shot; why not? It's not like the back end of the receiving unit has any standouts. Just don't have any real expectations. TE's have different responsibilities, and we're light on TE's who can receive or who have shown they are capable of Duke has shown. Knox is the only one maybe can do it. We have Croft who is a major unknown and Lee Smith who can't catch much Not sure I see how TE's trump Duke here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about ranting or evidence to support it ? There has been a deficiency at WR, and there still is after the newly added wideouts. The coaches made a move to see if they could get an increase in production at the position. It will be good if they are able to find it by trying a different player. Otherwise the only chance for improvement is the trade market, and the deadline looms a few weeks out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was a second round pick, he had a great college career, he caught seven touchdowns last year, he can block. I wouldn't do it but some may. ...a very fair assessment bud....sure East Carolina competition is perhaps suspect, but the kid did catch 160 balls......if we equate collegiate competition as the sole judgment, how do guys like Jerry Rice (Mississippi Valley State), Don Beebe (Chadron State), Andre Reed (Kutztown State), FredEx (Coe College) etc get acclimated to the NFL level and make it a career?....what plagues this kid?.....OR...is the TBD hatred over the top?...

Before that, slow, drops, lack of seperation and effort on some plays.Given the buildup here, I expected more. But my mind is wide open. I'm rooting for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was fairly unimpressed with him in preseason, regular season is a different animal. Hopefully he steps up. As to who is inactive in the event Duke plays I hope it isn't McKenzie. Because Zay seems to have entered “ Dead weight” territory on my team. Dead weight serves no purpose but to slow my team down...... so there’s that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 That's all well and good that Duke is looking forward to making contact and being physical. He needs to catch, and hold onto the ball during contact; I'd imagine he's not exactly Michael Irvin at this point. IMO, Zay does have some value in the shorter routes; Daboll was inexplicably using him on longer routes, and most likely just outsmarting himself like he tends to do. Hoping for the best with Duke.

BuffAlone Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Honestly, how many people just Rewatched his YouTube highlights? The man can catch. look at last yrs Winnepeg game. All I saw was JA throwing to the right, while running to the left, and Duke catching everything. Great blocker. Over the middle/ red zone demon. Hope he plays up to the talent level increase.

When you have two “ like” things ( receivers) it can be interesting to compare them. Sometimes, you can even make believe and take a little flight of imagination in the process.

TigerJ Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 This gives Josh a little different kind of target. It's not going to make a huge difference. I figure he'll be good for a catch or two per game. If this offense is going to become explosive, it has to come from Josh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 You see someone who's young and talented and you see them screw up because they do not know what they do not know. And it's not that they are bad or are fundamentally flawed as human beings. They just don't know how the world works yet and what might actually be on the line in a particular moment. And what they don't know is that their talent and effort doesn't guarantee them limitless opportunities. So, enter Duke Williams, who has by all accounts done everything he could do in the CFL and this off season to earn another shot at the NFL and I, like many others, can't help but want to see him succeed. We know it will mean more to him and those closest to him than most others because when you think you have squandered your last, best chance, it may seem like another may never come. Hell yeah we think he'll fight for the ball or give maximum effort to make an impactful block or tackle. It's American mythology. The Roy Hobbs story of redemption. If he does anything tomorrow to help them, win or lose, it will not go unnoticed. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
