Patrick Duffy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I just think he offers more than Foster at this point but anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foster was a feel good story last year, he obviously has a ton of speed... but he doesnt fight for contested balls and has depth judgement issues. Duke can make contested grabs, has that edge to him, provides us with a big body for once and also is a fantastic blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McClappy Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) McK and Duke need to be 3A and 3B WR's. Sweeney needs to be on the field as well period. Edited December 29, 2019 by Real McNasty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I don't know how much better we are with them. I don't know who sits. But I do know I'd feel a heck of a lot better having Duke and Yeldon as options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie doesn’t bring very much to the table in fact nothing that Brown doesn’t already give us. In the end saying Duke would only get one catch a game is pretty ridiculous... He just caught a pass that was 6” off the turf, the kind nobody currently on our roster makes, and are always labeled un catchable Josh Allen passes. Meatloaf. Yum!

DuckyBoys Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Duke and Yeldon should be active RBs absorb a lot of punishment and we have been lucky with Gore and Singeltary. I'd play Sweeney as well, Krofft has not shown much of anything. Duke is a no brainer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Duke had a good game. Kudos. He was essentially "showcased" and played well. I'm quite sure the love will get out of control, but credit where it's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a decent game, but his mistakes will reinforce what this staff already seems to think about him imo. I could be wrong, because at least he’s useful unlike McKenzie. I’m just not convinced the coaching staff feels the same. Edited December 29, 2019 by SirAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Stop the nonesense. We have had one all season. But choose not to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolfootball1963 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) This is what most of us have been saying all year. Duke Williams is a dam bull in a china shop with talent and big hands he is beast mode at the wideout position This guy is a serious weapon. He needs to play.

In sports (or any area of life), you’re given more chances when you have a decent rep. This coaching staff doesn’t seem too high on Williams. I think he did enough to be active next week, but I’m just saying I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke had more production in today's game than Foster has had all game Our depth chart at wr and rb cant be filled with special teams guys Honestly I dont know how we can afford to trot out both McKenzie, Roberts and Foster as out WR3 Bills have been super fortunate to not lose Beasley or Brown for any time. Same at rb If either Gore or Singeltary get dinged were giving playoff carries to Sinorise Perry? C'mon McDermott find the room and carry Yeldon on the active We do need 4 safeties do we? While were at it Sweeney offers more than Kroft does Think we can survive without a 7 year player who averages 1.2 receptions per game 8 minutes ago, oldschoolfootball1963 said: This is what most of us have been saying all year.

Livinginthepast Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Duke had the kind of game that we all knew he could have if given the chance. He had some nice grabs, a couple of drops (one was bad) and a couple of lousy throws that he couldn't get to He made a real contribution. I don't think anyone who is a Duke fan was ever arguing that he would be anything but a #3 receiver on this team. The decision to make him inactive was plain stupid. He can make a difference and gives Josh another option that the other receivers don't. He deserves to play next week but of course logic hasn't really been a strongpoint so far for these coaches and Duke so I will not hold my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The thing that sells me is that it's not like we have to put Beasley or Brown on the bench to get Duke in the game. I can't disagree with anyone who says he should be playing because at this point there is no one I'd rather have on the field with Brown and Beasley than him. Foster for whatever reason has disappeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost surreal to see a Bills back catching the ball naturally out of the backfield and immediately turning upfield. The only thing Gore offers right now is a guy who won't fumble late in a game we're trying to salt away. Is that really worth a roster spot in the playoffs when we're almost certainly going to need to score far more points than we have to win? I say no. I'll gladly get into that type of position and take my chances on DS securing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Duke was open so much he deserves to play. Sweeny looks better than Kroft but IDK about his blocking, which matters a lot for a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
