Mailman Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just thinking, after reading the Diggs OPOW write up...if Beasley is out for the first playoff game, who plays slot? I know Mckenzie is kind of the designated backup but he is better utilized with motions and sweeps, etc. If Smoke is good to go, do we let Diggs play the slot, with Gabe and Smoke outside? Diggs lines up all over normally, so I would imagine he is a mismatch no matter where he plays. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I was thinking the same thing yesterday in terms of who plays the slot. My first thought was Mckenzie. I also thought Diggs as well, but it would be bold to move the most productive receiver in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfield45 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Duke Williams was our best WR in the wild card game last season despite his drop in the endzone I can only imagine how he would play in this offense 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Am I the only person that thinks he will almost certainly be back? He walked off the field under his own power and seemed fine. The "week to week" thing is just McDermott hedging and not giving opponents any more information than they need. I doubt he would miss the opportunity to play unless he's seriously hurt.

Duke is certainly not a candidate to play slot as little or no short area quickness or ability to separate. The pecking order won't likely change IF Beasley can't go. Diggs, Brown, Davis, McKenzie and Roberts would likely be ahead of Duke. Remember he was never made active even in Browns prolonged absence. So if Beasley is down, Brown Davis and Diggs are top 3.

babulator Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 John Brown if he's ready to come off Covid Protocol. We can leave Gabe where he's at and slide JB in the slot if Cole is out. JB is more than capable of handling that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todzilla Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The Duke Williams crowd should not hold their breath. Kumerow played over him. I think McKenzie and Brown fill the roll if Bease can’t go. Brown, Diggs, and Davis is still a very strong top 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they promoted Kumerow to the 53 as he was out of free elevations. Once you do that you have to cut him in order to put him back on the PS. They cut him and the Saints claimed him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I know everyone is taking the Stills talk as a sign that Baase and/or Brown may not be able to go. But remember, the Bills just lost their #1 Practice Squad wr. Until we know otherwise, I think its safe to assume that Stills would be replacing Kumerow.

I believe he has been playing hurt since the Rams game. Guys have incentives in their contracts. 1000 yards is likely one of them. Probably just the fan in me, but I want to see him get that milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 All three of Diggs, Brown and Davis (surprisingly) know all three of the WR positions. If Beasley cannot go, all three of them will have plays out of the slot, as well as McKenzie, and when they go four or five wide, Stills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills waived Kumerow to accommodate Brown back to the 53 man roster. They were hoping he would not be claimed by anyone and then they could add him back to their PS. However, New Orlean claimed him on the waiver wire. He never made it back to the PS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I feel like Beasley will be fine to go for the wildcard game. I suppose we won’t know for sure but I can’t picture him missing that game for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTime101 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Diggs at slot. Diggs if there's only 2 WR on the field will be dedicated then in 3+ WR sets run outside Brown Stills on outside Inside Diggs and rotate rest of WR when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
