I’m not a Duke “hater”. But I don’t know where the notion arises that Duke is this separation superstar either. Duke has the body build to physically be a factor in one on one coverage. Davis is only effective when he is wide opened. During congestion, he shrinks. Nothing about separation, more about a guy that can be a factor to get a man off Diggs.

Duke had 1 target against MIA and 2 targets (1 reception) against the Eagles last year. There's a reason he was benched. I don't care what his body type is, when Duke was given snaps in 2 games last season where we could have used him he wasn't a factor. After a week 17 performance where he caught 50% of his targets, Duke caught 4 of 10 targets against the Texans. He underwhelmed. How one projects from that he'd "be a factor to get a man off Diggs" I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say whatever you want about underwhelming, but him getting 10 targets is what this team needs from an outside WR. Davis is on the outside, and doesn't even get a look, so it takes away half of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that Davis is not an outside WR. When he has to fill in for Brown, he hurts the team more than helps. At least Duke is a presence out there on the outside and can free up Diggs more. Davis can't get opened on outside and then drops it when he does. Teams don't even have to worry about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was thrown to 10 times in the playoff game....4 catches. He had the second most snaps of the WR that game. If he was truly good, he would be on the field more. Instead, we've made aggressive moves at WR position even though we have Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take the 10 targets to Davis, at least it would require the defense to respect that Allen will go there. The problem is, Davis doesn't get separation and Allen doesn't trust him to win one on ones so he avoids him and forces it to Diggs who is being blanketed by 2 to 3 defenders.

My cousins best friends aunts dog told me that every team in the NFL has tried to poach Duke from our practice squad but he refuses to sign with them. They even offer him starting positions, yet he continues to profess his love for Bills mafia. He’s so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 10 targets to Davis? You don't think Davis gets separation but Duke does or something? "Forces it Diggs"? So if there are 3 defenders on Diggs, then someone is WIDE OPEN somewhere. So if it's not Davis then there's just no one else LOL? 8 minutes ago, Back2Buff said: Was this supposed to be funny? Not really sure what you are even trying to say.
