LeGOATski Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Knox is kind of a blow. Hopefully Kroft can step up and stay healthy. Moss is meh. Does that mean Yeldon plays? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Neither is an insurmountable loss. Moss hasnt done much, might see Yeldon catch a few passes. Just means we get to feed Devin. At least Knox wont be out there to drop passes or fumble. Just now, LeGOATski said: Knox is kind of a blow. Hopefully Kroft can step up and stay healthy. Moss is meh. Does that mean Yeldon plays?

GunnerBill Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Moss has underwhelmed so far, but did have that nice TD catch week 1. As a runner I haven't been impressed. Knox is a loss from a bit of a match up perspective..... but hopefully the Bills can get through this week without him. If I had to give up Moss and Knox to get Milano and Edmunds back I would. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I love Knox and have really high hopes for him this year. While it’s still VERY early in the year, so far he’s been a bit of a disappointment. There’s still a lot of time for him to pick it up, and I hope he does. He could be pretty special. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Knox is super important to how our offense is run. He fills a nice H-Back roll. Kroft CANNOT fill that roll. Its not about pass catching. Its about how Knox lines up all over, and can block from numerous spots on the filed--Kroft just cannot do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know many are down on Knox, I see him as rather valuable and believe this could have been a big game for him. Sucks he’s out. If Yeldon hits the field, I will be interested to see how Daboll works him into the game plan as he’s wicked dangerous catching out of the backfield (hearkening back to his Bama days).

T master Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Not sure Moss will be missed a lot i think McD & company want him in to get as many reps as possible for them to see what he's got but i hope Knox can make it back soon i think he will be a bigger part of Dabols plan on offense . Weldon is more than capable to fill in & may even be better than Moss seeing as he knows the offense & while sitting on the bench is more than likely chomping at the bit to get out & make some plays in this higher powered offense this year . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) that means Milano and Edmunds are in or game time decisions at the very least...Dodson playing some or more is not a concern based on the Fins game this is Moss second injury (toe) his first was a neck injury during training camp where he missed several days...way too early to categorize as injury prone, but...he did miss significant time in college due to injury and his run-to-and-thru-contact style does concern me Edited September 25, 2020 by First Round Bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Both Knox and Moss play positions that can take advantage of the Rams biggest weakness in D, their LBers. It’s a pretty terrible unit on paper. Can’t say I know much about them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's a reason for that? #2 TE differ in their blocking vs pass catching abilities His blocking may very well improve, but most rookies seem to have a learning curve around the speed and power of the NFL game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fair question. Gilliam played H back in college (albeit at a small school) so he has experience. Unproven at the NFL level? Sure. Incapable at the NFL level? Dunno yet. Let’s give him a chance first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather scour the PS of other teams or us a big WR as a TE before Croom. I’m guessing that not one team signs this guy to their PS. 6 minutes ago, ytownblofan said: *Patiently waiting for someone to ask "Does this mean Wade gets carries, we need to call him up and see what he can do" or something to that effect* I would actually rather see Wade then Yeldon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to give up Moss and Knox to get Milano and Edmunds back I would. Moss averaged 4.6 YPC against Dolphins. Not sure why people are saying he’s under whelmed, he’s barely had a chance to get going or find a rhythm. End of day, there is only one football. Josh leads the NFL in passing yards, hard to also have a second string RB also make a big statistical impact too. I think Moss has looked good in his limited touches.
