GRHater69 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think when his head is into it Knox is a much better blocker than Kroft and if they really want to start building their running game this mover makes sense. For the record I think Kroft has better hands in the passing game and Knox is to inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to them not being on the team next year. We have a lot of fat to cut this off-season.

For the record I think Kroft has better hands in the passing game and Knox is to inconsistent. Neither of them are amazing blockers but as far as I can tell, Kroft usually knows what he’s supposed to do and makes a strong effort. Knox is hit or miss - he can lock a guy up or he can whiff completely like a matador waving a cape in front of a bull. Again, as far as I can tell. 29 minutes ago, klos63 said: likely not signing Kroft again, need to see what we have at TE now so to make off season moves. I doubt they are motivated by anything but starting the players they believe will give them the best chance to win THIS game. “Seeing what you have” is for after you’ve put it away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Knox has the higher ceiling. He can do things athletically that Kroft can't. Kroft is more reliable, however. Given Knox's youth, he may become more consistent, whereas Kroft isn't going to get any better. Let's hope that TONIGHT is the night Knox becomes more reliable. And Lee, of course, is in as the "extra tackle" to help in the run game. He also is good for 1 target in short yardage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Knox can NOT play. He is marginal as a receiver, and he seems to be lost in the running/blocking scheme. Lost. Like so lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you guys also calling for A.J.Klein's head three weeks ago and calling Josh a bust in his rookie season? Sometimes you have to have patience with players. I'm glad that our coaching staff has more patience than some of our fans. Knox did have a nice TD last week. No question, he has not lived up to our expectations for him this year, but I wouldn't write him off yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to let him develop but not at the cost of games, and unlikr Klein, we DO have a better option in Kroft. he is so bad in PP. He looks lost. L O S T lost.

vincec Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Not that Murphy is great or anything, but he has certainly contributed more at DE than Darryl Johnson. Maybe Johnson is active just for ST and the Bills are going to rotate 3 DEs. 5 DTs again though. Strange mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
