The guy was excited to come to Buffalo and then blew out both of his feet! This has nothing to do with motivation and everything to do with getting healthy and finally having a chance to contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Kroft played really well... well enough to take the starting spot from Knox?... who knows, but I would like to see Kroft out there in the red zone packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Gotta be honest. I was a bit embarrassed when they did post game interviews and were speaking with Kroft. I did not recognize who he was. I had no idea what this kid looked like. He hasn't really stood out in any way outside of the injury report since signing here. Good for him though, he played well.

Noah Fant isn’t doing bad either for Denver. Adding a playmaker at TE next year would be a huge bonus. Knox has a lot of work to do to get to a solid reliable TE. But yet Knox stats were better last year than TJ's With the WR core the Bills have, how many targets is the TE even going to see? Knox or Kroft are both still strong enough that they can't just be ignored by the defense. If I'm the GM next year I'd be drafting CB's, O line, and LB way before another TE.

I have changed my opinion of him a bit since last week or so For the better of course. system defines the TEs i think sometimes. I think we have have been pre-conditioned that are TE Corps sucks- but that area has improved drastically- elite, no- on the upswing, yes 😊 4 minutes ago, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: But yet Knox stats were better last year than TJ's With the WR core the Bills have, how many targets is the TE even going to see?

Spread the ball around. Look at KC - just rack up yards/points as a collective whole.

TJ didn’t play a full season due to injury. I agree on CB and LB but would go DL over OL at this point and I would certainly consider taking a playmaking TE if one is available.

Bob in STL Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) I like rotating both Kroft and Knox. I don’t care who starts either. Its very early to talk draft but LB, CB and DL are more important than TE right now. Edited October 1, 2020 by Bob in STL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Dont be suprised if Knox comes back and lights it up.....just saying The guy is not a chump.....and he does give you WOW plays......he needs to be more consistant. Still learning the position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 19 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: Give Knox more time. He can be a star. Lots on this board wanted Kroft cut. I was happy with Kroft as #2. He is overpaid as a #2 TE but his deal will not hamper them this year. I think it would be quite the match-up nightmare with them on the field at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a higher ceiling, while Kroft is more “traditional” it seems. He just has to stay healthy. Knox will get his chances going forward. I am just happy to have multiple competent options. How many years/decades did we go without a really competent TE??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 All kidding aside Donuts, I thought Kroft did a nice job and more depth in talent is great. Knox has to stop thinking what he’s doing after the catch and just catch the darn ball. Worry about that after you secure the ball in the breadbasket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 20 hours ago, Process said: Neither is an exciting option but they will do for now. We have plenty of weapons. We definitely need to upgrade the position next off-season. Lot of good options in the draft, I am all for taking one early and finally having a playmaker at the position. After that week all i can think is we need a real investment in the big nickel player. And we'll probably need another corner. TEs in the draft never do much in year 1 it seems.
