Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I still don’t get why he wasn’t utilized at all against KC, especially with the WR corps being banged up. He has proven to be effective when stepping in for Beasley and most importantly brings that much needed element of speed and open field elusiveness. I’m not saying he would’ve tipped the scales in Buffalo’s favor but I think having him be actively involved in the game plan would’ve made more sense than trotting out injured players who couldn’t get any separation. Especially with the pressure Josh was under, McKenzie RAC ability and the short passing game could’ve really helped open things up for the offense.

Sanders is the only lineup change. That, of course, is not completely true. Some rookie will break into the starting lineup, and some yet-to-be-signed free agent will play, too. Maybe even a trade will happen. Still, it's going to be largely the same team. Amazing the faith they have in the D-line and the linebackers. Hopefully Ford is an upgrade at Guard on the OL and we'll actually have Mongo for the whole year. Plus I think Hollister is a pretty sneaky under-the-radar signing that will have a pretty significant impact... especially given the chemistry he and Allen already have carrying over from Wyoming. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Good for him and the Bills. Wonder if he is the new returner by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the top 5 receivers were healthy. He had leg issues and it was said he was having issues cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I just saw Rondale Moore run a 4.29. I really like Mckenzie but Moore is the real deal. I'm drafting Moore if he's there in round 2, which isn't likely. Edited March 23, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will suck just as bad they did last year. You are really on to them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore is a risk with his injury history but the Bills need to take some risks on game changing talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears the rest of the league doesn’t value him which surprises me I thought for sure he’d get a better offer than that. Maybe he did and just wanted to stay but I 100% expected he’d get a multi year deal somewhere like Baltimore or Chicago. I don’t know anyone that could be upset getting him back at this price though.

I thought he would get an offer around 2 years for $5m... I would be surprised if he would have turned it down but guess we won’t know one way or the other... Great deal for the Bills ... hope he can continue to contribute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes a couple to the house this year he’ll be looking at a much bigger deal next year. Glad he’s back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Smoke was never the same following his injury, Beas and Davis were both severely hampered and Diggs was banged up but I don’t recall seeing or hearing anything about McKittrick. You are probably right, especially on the 19th game of the season, I’m sure nobody is at 100% by then. He had to be better off than Beas and Davis tho who were both actually listed on the injury report.

Well, the forum mods merged threads and gave it their own title without the hyphen, so they can handle it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he doesn't seem like a 1st round player for this regime. I'll be surprised if we don't draft an edge rusher or CB. Personally I would rather draft an explosive offensive player because I think those players will be off the board by time we pick in round 2.

It's a fair question since he's never been the main return man for a full season And I don't know if they want him to be the main return man for a full season, this year But it means Daboll keeps his "gadget guy" and also that we go into the draft with someone who can return punts on the roster, who is NOT named "Micah Hyde" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some doubts that he will be the main return man this season, given his ball security issues. I could see them trying some other guys out to fill that role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beyond fumbles, he has a track record of a lot of muffs and bad decisions, as best as I recall. In the one game when he returned kicks for us this past year, he almost fumbled the punt that he ended up returning for a TD, and badly misplayed another one that almost resulted in the ball hitting him and a turnover. That had to give the coaches a bit of heart burn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
