Boatdrinks Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 A TE has been inactive all year. So has a WR. Just being consistent. Besides, you’re not going to have a QB inactive. Allen can use some reps early, as he’s often a little too hyped up. Knox can practice catching all week on a Juggs machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Just because he is "active" does not necessarily mean he will play -- I think now, given the inactives, Allen may not play at all. It's time for Barkley to shine - let him beat up the Jets again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox needs more practice catching than Allen does throwing. Well we only have 2 QBs so Allen has to atleast dress. And Knox could have a nagging injury we dont know about and could be resting due to that. 1 minute ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: 3 WRs dressing is concerning. If someone gets hurt we are screwed.

BillsFanSD Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I don't see what's to be gained by having Allen play with backups at all the skill positions. I get that he has to dress, but there's no point in playing him unless absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Allen will probably be in with the starting line while Nseke gets reps then switch him out as they start to filter in the 2nd string lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a good chance Williams does look pretty good today as likely he's had more time practicing with Barkley all year sl better chance they are on the same page. And Yeldon , well someone is going to touch the ball so even if he were to get stopped for no gain half of his touches, he could still have 60 to 70 yards on the other half.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 54 minutes ago, Big C said: There's a chance they want him to throw some live balls to Duke and Foster. Maybe one series? But maybe not. Risking him would be dumb. I've been thinking about this, and I'm guessing if Allen plays, Beane wants to see a lot of Kroft. Does he stay on his routes, or does he get shoved off? How does he release? Does he adjust on Josh's throws? Does he go up or dive for them? McDermott made a comment of wanting to find out if guys "are who we think they are". Looking at the roster, I'm thinking it's reasonable to believe Kroft is on that list. Kroft was supposed to be the starting TE, the reliable blocker and outlet pass catcher. Duke and Foster are paid peanuts. Kroft was given a 3 year, $18M contract. He's paid like a mid-range starting TE (#16 I think). If you add his signing bonus to this year's salary, he basically made $4.2M this year for 10 targets: $0.420M per target or $63,636,000 per yard. That's a lot of clamshells per step. Kroft has been a bit of an un-sung hero in the blocking game, and he caught a key TD, but that's just not enough. Kroft is due a $1.25M roster bonus in addition to a $4.4M (not guaranteed) salary for next year. The Bills can move on for $1.6M. Yeah, it's a risk if they play him all game and he gets a long-term injury and we have to eat his salary all next season, but on Offense, I bet a key unanswered question for Beane is "This guy is healthy now. Given the opportunity, can he produce, or is TE back near the top of my off season shopping list?" Expect Kroft to be worked until he pukes. Or pulls up injured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
