Augie Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Smoke will be just fine. What I’m equally excited about is Singletary and Moss, since it will be tough to load the box with the pass catching threats we now have. Let’s play some football!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'm still trying to figure out why the OP ever became concerned that the #1 WR from the Bills last year, who had a career year going against teams' #1 CB and getting doubled, will have a problem against teams' #2 CB? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Diggs will be WR 1 and will often draw double coverage. Can our WR 2 (presumably Brown but feel free to discuss whomever you think will be WR 2) consistently beat one on one coverage? If not, can play design accomplish this, for example by stick or other route combinations. Best year of his career as a #1 last year (where he constantlybeat everyone), and was arguably our team MVP... andddd his job just got easier. Absolutely yes he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 We have 3 guys that can get wide open all on their own and a rocket armed QB who can get the ball there before the coverage arrives. It’s going to be lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown was un-Coverable at times with Nothing On the other side of Him. so please Leave Brown 1V1 with the Second Beat CB on a team and watch what happens. the Question is and Will remain until he Does. Can Josh Allen take that Next Step to become a top end QB? Edited May 1, 2020 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read it and think that the OP thinks Brown can't. I think he just meant it as conversation. But yeah, I think the answer is pretty obvious. The real question is how many targets will Brown get now? His production likely will drop if Diggs is getting the targets that he got last year. Or, we might have two 1,000 yard receivers, which would be crazy. Have we ever had that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, we might have two 1,000 yard receivers, which would be crazy. Have we ever had that? There's not much conversation there. Obviously if he can beat most teams' #1 CB, like he did last year on his way to a career year, he can beat their 2nd best CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This made me think. Maybe we are playing Micah Hyde out of position. I would slide him to edge rusher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh yeah...he was beating it last year being covered by the other teams #1 CB why wouldn't he be able to against the other teams #2 CB? This question doesn't even make any sense.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 If you have a solid #1 and #2 hours then Yes it could happen Diggs, Brown, Beasley is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Brown performed like a low end WR1 last season. If he stays healthy I think he can easily be a high end WR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The real question is still, how much will Josh Allen improve? In particular, can he rediscover his range of deep passes? Buffalo has ample deep speed now, and receivers who can get open all over the field. I think Josh became afraid of being intercepted on deep balls some last year, and also got sloppy on his footwork. I know he's been working with his QB whisperer, Jordan Palmer and supposedly will have that licked. Beane provided Allen with all the weapons he should need, and if Allen can take a big step forward, the Bills offense should be scary good.

machine gun kelly Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 We have a great trio of WR’s, and Davis may turn out to be something special. I keep thinking of the Brandon Marshall interview where he said Davis who is 2nd all time in yards from UCF, when Marshall was 3rd overall. He was full of praise stating he was great at disguising his routes and thus can make an impact. Now granted he would be a 4th WR so not like he’ll be there on the field a lot, but UCF has developed into a very strong program here in FL. Most people know FL is one of the top 3 states in the country for youth football, hence why so many are put in Division 1 teams across the country. FSU, FL, and Miami doesn’t get them all, and over the last decade USF, and UCF have grown in their programs and entice some nice talent to stay in FL. This is going to be a great crew of WR’s. The real question is will Allen take the third year step and effectively manage to hit these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I’d like to clarify something here: Smoke very rarely faced double coverage by my study last year. The 11 personnel group that Buffalo adopted as their base midseason really limited the ability to both double a WR and spy the QB...which would you have chosen? Easy answer IMO. Smoke quite often, however, faced other teams’ best cover man, and that will likely change. So perhaps the more pertinent question is “will Smoke be able to feast on CB2s, and will Beasley put slot corners through the meat grinder?”...to which I say: yup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
