Bronxbomber21 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Does anyone else think Duke needs to be on the active roster this Sunday. I'm thinking the Broncos are going to double John Brown with Chris Harris and one of the safetys and if this happens where going to need more then McKenzie & Roberts on the outside. I would love to see Foster go off but im not gonna put my money on it. Im still lost on why Roberts is getting more playing time at WR then Foster and why Duke is on the bench. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broncos don't need to double team Brown because of Harris. At this point I don't care who starts...Duke or Bobby, as long as Isaiah, Beasley and Brown are in there, I'm happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 With the standard 11 package they ran in hurry up with 3 WRs it was McKenzie and Beasley as the other 2 WRs. Watch how much trouble the TE for MN caused when Vikes went hurry up. Kroft or Knox could go off. And it was Harris that got beat deep by Diggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhit34 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Duke Williams continues to be the 6th best WR on the team behind Brown, Beasley, McKenzie, Roberts and Foster. And only 5 are active on game day. Duke starting to look like he will join the ranks of Da'rick Rodgers, Brandon Reilly, Naaman Roosevelt, Dezmin Lewis, Kolby Listenbee and many others of fan-obsessed, marginal to sub-standard NFL WR talent to spend time with the Bills. I think it all dates back to Don Beebe, who had a decent NFL career but was way overvalued by Bills fans. He had 164 receptions for the Bills in 6 years, never had more than 40 and capped out ta 554 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'd rather Duke be active than foster. I know foster is a special teamer, but I don't even think that's paid off all that much.

Augie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 As a fringe WR/active roster guy, does Duke do EVERYTHING in his power to become a valuable ST player?

mjt328 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 You basically have John Brown as our #1 target, Cole Beasley as our #2, and a bunch of guys who are limited in skills. Andre Roberts is a pretty good return guy, but is below average on everything else required from a WR. Isaiah McKenzie is quick and runs nice gadget plays, but doesn't have great hands and his fumble issues make him risky as a returner. Robert Foster is a proven deep threat, but doesn't really do anything else well and still often struggles make plays on the ball. Duke Williams is big and has good hands, but he's also really slow and struggles to get open. When you have a group like this, the coaching staff is forced to activate/deactivate players based on gameplan. Roberts gets called up regularly, because we must have a KR/PR each week. McKenzie is getting preference over Foster, because we are having more success with jet-sweeps than deep passes. That has left Williams as the odd-man out, because his skill-set can be duplicated by one of the tight ends. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of room to have every receiver active on game day and, IMO, it’s something that the team needs. The more versatile our offense, the better. Williams brings a couple ingredients otherwise lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
