Motorin' Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I noticed Rambo split out wide on several occasion against the Browns. His stats show he has the 3rd most receiving production after Brown and Beasley, with Singletary next behind him. Should the Bills be utilizing Knox as the #3 or #4 wr on clear passing downs?

RyanC883 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'd like to see him get the ball more in intermediate routes. Although with his style of play, having him on a CB could be good. He gets the ball, trucks the CB and gains another 5-20 yards after the catch. Esp. in the red-zone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Before last week his catch ratio was 50%, glad to see it went up. The team needs something to change to keep them in it the last part of the season, who knows maybe Knox turns it on and becomes a big weapon? Not sure why they refuse to play Duke Williams. Would be nice to have a couple reliable big bodied wide outs in there. Edited November 14, 2019 by thenorthremembers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I would love to see him pushed really hard as a dominant piece of the offense. I hope they are doing catching drills with him 24/7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Catch percentage: you gotta get open to have one thrown your way! Or you gotta be big enough to make those contested catches so that your QB gives you the chance. Daboll obviously sees something in Knox, and so do most of us. The drops will likely diminish. Kroft is becoming irrelevant. I think we got a keeper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'd put him 4th on the team after Brown, Beasley and Duke. Why they're giving Foster active duty over Duke is weird to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 He was so under utilized at Ole Miss that there is no way he could be even close to a finished ball catcher as a rookie. He has done well so far, imo, and will do more. If the offense makes a late season surge, he'll be part of the reason. He showed well against the Browns. Two balls he did not come up with were part on Josh and part on his not having his big body in quite the right position. He is learning fast and will be a tough matchup going forward. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his profile and look at the 2018 compared to 2019, it sure seems they have scald him back and put him in that Gimmick Box.

I didn’t keep track. I think my bigger issue is that Daboll seems to be getting predictable with his deceptions. They need to start incorporating other players into the jet sweep like they did with Knox once. Make the D worry about the jet sweep anytime a player goes in motion by giving one to Beasley, Brown, Knox, etc. Heck, lineup Yeldin in the slot and run it. All of this could benefit the screen game as well while freezing defenders for actual routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
