Fan in San Diego Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Why can't we seem to get a stud TE like Kelce or the Gronk. Gronk was from south Buffalo and we missed this guy somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 1 minute ago, ColoradoBills said: So did Sean make it sound serious? Really didn't dive too much into it. List off the injuries and said his foot was stepped on and would be monitoring it. Didn't say if it was the same foot from the past or if it was serious but sounded more like a "we'll see if it's an issue" as opposed to serious concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPoy88 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Don’t the Bears have way too many tight ends on their roster still? Maybe they cut a few already. If not, they are definitely going to have to shake a few loose by cutdown day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 38 minutes ago, eball said: I think you're reading A LOT into camp reports if you took this away from them. I believe it's pretty clear the focus of this camp has been to develop chemistry with all of the new WRs. Knox has received good reports on his blocking, and I've only heard mention of one drop (that I recall). I've seen a few reports mention drops he's had during camp, it seems like a recurring issue. He might just be one of those players who never figures out his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

716er Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Too bad this guy can’t stay healthy. He’s not a star TE by any means, but If he could ever play a full season I think he’d put up 400 yards and 4 or 5 TDs consistently.

Or maybe he was bleeding and they sewed him up and he'll be back tomorrow. Let's maybe wait and see a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 1 hour ago, Back2Buff said: Beane played the Kroft contract incredibly bad. The contract when it was signed was horrible. He had a chance to get out after last season with like a million and half dead cap, and instead restructured to bring the dead cap up to 5 million this year in order to have no dead cap next year. Everyone knew this guy has no business being on this roster this year and now he has to be. I just never understood why teams pay pro personal so much money in front office when they could just put a poll on a fan website and get better results. ? If they did we would have had John Skelton as 20 year probowl starting QB! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t been great, but he did make a key contribution Big Whoop! Bills were making it regardless. Time to cut bait with this guy. Front office has shown a ton of faith with this guy and he's repaid them with absolutely nothing. It's that misplaced faith that has made the Bills FO pause on a reliable TE acquisition.
