John from Riverside Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I just love how we aggressively addressed this position......THREE wide receivers with 2 of them being drafted in a WR rich draft. Diggs was my guyu......wanted him on the bills for a while...he makes everything easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Diggs, Brown, Beasley, and Knox will all have over 700 yards receiving this year while one go over 1000. Add another 300 for Singletary. Daboll is going to spread the ball around. 3 hours ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: I want a 2! If brown is the third best WR it means this offense can do anything Brown is a 1a. He is better than any #2 in the league. Beasley is a role player perfect #3. The only issue will be who is the #2 when they are in a 2 WR red zone or running down and distance. Will they go with Duke Williams or the rookie for their size? Os just play it straight with Diggs and Brown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Os just play it straight with Diggs and Brown? Part of it will depend on matchups and the teams we faced. When we played Baltimore our receivers were getting mugged and the officials decided to just let them play, so we were physically outmatched. For teams like that they might play the bigger WR's (plus Diggs because he should never leave the field, IMO). Edited May 19, 2020 by MJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability to separate is limited in the route tree to the deeper /longer stuff and contested catch red zone ability haven’t been displayed. I like him, but wait till folks see Diggs up close.

No_Matter_What Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 10 hours ago, MJS said: I think Brown will have less production. Maybe not by much. Who knows? I imagine it turning out something like this for the top 3 WR's: Diggs- 1,200 yards, 9 TD's Brown- 900 yards, 7 TD's Beasley- 700 yards, 6 TD's I agree with this. It is hard to imagine that Diggs gets over 1k (which I believe) and at the same time Brown increases his production. I also expect Knox and RBs to produce more, and Allen won't throw 6.000 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putin Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 14 hours ago, NoHuddleKelly12 said: Why can't Brown seamlessly assume the role Thielen played in forcing opposing D's to also shade coverage elsewhere besides Diggs? Similar opportunities should abound in our offense, imho. I read it here first, that Brown is every rich man's #2, our poor man's #1 last year. I think Brown will be our Peerless Price this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having to watch Benjamin, Zay, Holmes, Foster, Thompson, Matthews etc. over the two previous seasons made Brown look pretty good last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Miner Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The number of snaps played by Bills WR last year that are not just below average, but not NFL caliber WRs is astonishing. They now have 3 legit high quality NFL receivers on the team and an ever improving QB entering his third year. Expect big things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he doesn't, he is still a better receiver than John Brown. Look I have been king of the Diggs is better than Theilen party for 3 years. I am absolutely certain his production will be down without Diggs opposite him. But having Brown as better than him is bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
