He adds an element to the offense that none of our other receivers do, and with Roberts leaving I’d think he could be of use returning punts. With lil Dirty now returning punts full time does he also return kickoffs or do we look at a guy like Wade?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he wants to do both, but it’s a different skill set. Unsure if he’s ever been a KR. Maybe someone knows. It’s actually uncommon to do both like Andre roberts. mckenzie did say that our new punter Matt Haack is in Miami where they both live and they are getting together to practice PR Edited March 25, 2021 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 With our offense, I got no problem letting the ball go out of the endzone and starting at the 25 on every kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone knows. It’s actually uncommon to do both like Andre roberts. McKenzie has returned kickoffs - a few his rookie year for Denver, a few in 2019, 12 his first year with Buffalo. His average return was 19.8 yds in 2018, one of the reasons the Bills signed Andre Roberts in 2019. 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: mckenzie did say that our new punter Matt Haack is in Miami where they both live and they are getting together to practice PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Isaiah McKenzie loves him some Buffalo... "For me, money didn't matter... If we were getting paid in candy, I would stay here... for the rest of my life." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really shows how much things have changed with Bills franchise and reflects even more the respect between staff and players on to the top with owners. I know we lost out on Watt and whatnot, but I have to believe if cap situation was better they possibly could have signed one or maybe 2 big time impact players.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 When I look at the list of Bills FA on March 17th plus those who were released, he only name left that I hope still signs here is Dean Marlowe. The rest have either been replaced or the person gone was nothing that can't easily be replaced based on 2020 level of play. i.e. Josh Norman types. That is pretty impressive on Beane's part!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 15 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I have no doubt that McKenzie loves Buffalo and his teammates and coaches. But I think the main reason he took the deal here is because he trying to get a more lucrative contract next year. This is the easiest path because he has a specific role and knows the offense and the playbook already. This is the place he’s most likely to put up numbers. He did account for 8 TDs last year in a limited role. Whether here or somewhere else in 2022, this is an ideal place for him to develop especially if he can lock down the PR job. This. In his media availability, he said he told his agent "if the money is about equal, I want to go back to Buffalo". In the Rico Report, he said he felt like he knows the system and the coaches and this is his best chance to put a good year on film and get a contract next year. He may have had a slightly higher offer somewhere else, or even turned down a contract that was larger and longer on paper but had little guaranteed and came to about the same money in his pocket this year - but it wasn't all for the great love of the Buffalo Family, there was a business aspect of "bet on yourself, do your best, and win a good contract next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, I'm not sure he's all that marketable. Good multi-purpose guy with good speed, but no one is signing him to rejuvenate their passing game. I understand. I don’t think he sucks, but he isn’t “ special” that teams will go out and pay for. If you already have young drafted players or plan to draft Then you want to give thrm first priority. I see McKenzie can do returns . I’m unsure if he can be a gunner on punts. I look at Bills WRs as... diggs, Davis, sanders, Beasley— these regular WRs Mckenzie Hodgins, Kumerow others if McKenzie is viewed as a PR/KR Then he has a better shot of being on the team in a ST role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
