Apparently you have little to no confidence in players like John Brown & Cole Beasley, who may not be perfect, but have been very good players for us. Nuthin but luv, you say? That's what you call luv? As a “big bodied receiver, yes he is the only one, that fits the description, re focus man, , as to nuthin but luv, I was directing that toward you, follow along... you are nothing if not persistent my friend, i’m off to dinner, be back mañana, Go Bills!!!

While Duke may not be a deep threat, I do think he can make some of those contested catches on the sideline 10 yards downfield, and also in the red zone Yep. 51 minutes ago, Hebert19 said: Honestly. The guy had super limited snaps and his last play was a huge one when he got hurt. Not sure about the separation thing. Think he banged someone's wife. Well he must not have done it correctly then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I know this is the CFL and rules are different as well as talent level, but most of these passes are deep passes. I refuse to believe he can't be a deep threat. Also watch the catch at 2:12, that is exactly what he can do compared to our other smaller recievers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a reach to call him dependable and shown success in the NFL. He has barely played. At this point he is barely NFL talent yet on these board he is a dependable, proven, #1 WR that can help win games for you. Huh? What is with your exaggerations? No one called him a #1 receiver. Most people are simply saying he provides the offense something they lack. A big target that can and has made contested catch. Its called having some versatility instead of having just a bunch of small speed guys. 1 hour ago, ngbills said: Yes people have said he is a #1 in essence by saying he is the guy you throw the ball to on the last play of the game. He has played in 3 games. Not sure what the definition of dependable is? I would think it at least is someone you suit up every week. And in the games he had one decent game and in the other tow despite receiving over 50% of the snaps in each caught 1 ball. Calling him dependable makes it sound like he came out and had at least average games, not 1 catch. Those are substantiated facts. Say hi to Duke for me... Foster has 10 games. In 7 games he has zero catches. In 3 games he has 1 catch each. McKenzie and Foster are essentially the same player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the separation thing. Think he banged someone's wife. He may very well have tasted the fruit of another ?, the thing I like about him is he only appears to need about a body width to make a catch when he is tightly covered. On his TD catch he has his defender beat in four step off the line of scrimmage, and makes an easy catch on a well thrown ball. Baldy does a film breakdown on that play, he makes it plain how he beats his coverage for the score, check it out. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many on this thread are saying if Duke is in the game we win and he catches the ball thrown to Brown etc. One guy said he just throws his arms in the air and its a TD. Catches everything his way. How he will to NE and stick it to us. None of that is reality. He had a decent game and otherwise has not been good enough. Yes, this team could use a big WR. Does not mean it has to be Duke as there are plenty that are simply better than him. Edited December 13, 2019 by ngbills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the NFL Games Duke was doing well in , the announcer , whom i do not recall, was speaking about how he squeezed the ball when catching. Showed replays and making that point how Duke catches the ball. Very hard for defenseman to break his grip once in his hands. it was truly fun to watch. and very true. For all his faults? he gets and puts the ball away like few others and he blocks pretty badazz Love the Duke Hope he gets some game time this year Go Bills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
