Obviously needs to stay healthy, but it looked to me like he was developing in 2018 Nope , i have had some hope. He was improving a bit as a Pas Catcher. They were lining him up outside and running WR routes imo. But losing him for a season seemed it should be the end of his run with the Bills. Very little hope for him to make the roster. But i do have some he had his head in the playbook and studying film with Allen maybe even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBs and safeties likely know where he is if they are coming downhill. so much vitriol for Smith. Yes , all those unforgivable penalties are very hard to tolerate, and that is reason enough to move on from him. But he certainly does block with attitude. Opposite of Croom really. who is the next best run blocker at TE ? Probably Knox ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would hardly think they are All Set at TE in their minds. Why ? Croom cannot block With 5 TEs in camp already and on the lookout for more I could easily see it.

Not sure about Smiths contract. But thought they paid him well initially ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 There'll be more TEs on the horizon if Knox doesn't break out this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 You know that (a) it’s the offseason and (b) the Bills are a decent team when people are “up in arms” over a 1-yr cheap-as-stojan signing of a depth TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the ABILITY to challenge the seam with his athleticism and also split out wide. We'll see if he can put it together, he's far from a lock to make the team. Wow, you must have a very keen eye or access to All-22, because he has 387 career snaps, and 35 targets in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On May 5, 2017, he was signed by the Buffalo Bills. On August 20, he was cut. One day later, he was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, but was removed four days later and was cut once more. On November 1, he was added to the practice squad. On January 8, 2018, he was signed back to the team" so...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a good amount of Croom in the lead up to, and into, the 2018 season. My point was simply that I see potential in Croom's skill set. But carry on.

Anyway, he's a rarely used, often injured bench warmer on a team with scant talent at WR. Edited March 15, 2020 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look at some of his highlights. With josh actually being able to throw down the seam and into soft spots in the zone croom may be decent. Hes kind if clay like from an athletic standpoint...which isnt saying much but he could be better depth than Kroft. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/jason-croom-catches-for-a-26-yard-gain Edited March 15, 2020 by Hebert19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
