Inconsistency catching the football. Did you see anything different with him during practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he caught the easy drops and didn’t catch the equal amount he has no business catching, people would have little problem with him at all. 4 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the Knox pick and I've been a patient fan, hoping he'll finally turn the corner. But his drop rate really has been horrible. His catch percentage is 55.3% for his young career. Compare that to an elite TE like Travis Kelce - whose career catching percentage is 71.2% - and that's a significant gap. I have high hopes for Knox this year. I'm excited about his potential and finally think he reaches that potential this season. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 5 TD's week 12 and beyond last year (including 2 in the playoffs) and hauled in 10 of 13 playoff targets. I think he's coming on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Obviously the competition within the o-line is between Ford and Ike which I think says a lot about how they feel about Ford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the bears game where he dropped a ball that hit him right in the chest. I was shocked…. A preseason game is a preseason game. If I wanted to talk about a preseason game I would’ve asked about preseason game. That’s why I asked if you saw anything during practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot wrap my head around the criticism this guy has gotten since joining the team. It's never made sense to me. 1 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an actual preseason game setting, which is more accurate depiction of what you’ll get in the regular season, he looked like the same Knox to me. I was just curious… wasn’t sure if you saw anything else at another point in time. 4 targets in the preseason isn’t really enough for me to conclude anything, that’s why I was asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind Scott. He was in the bathroom when they handed out the Tapioca pudding today so he missed out. He's a little grumpy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox is the starter, OK. But what has Sweeney shown to keep him and not Hollister? This sort of feels like not bringing in a quality vet to challenge your young QB so that you can show faith in him. Except you don't put two QB's on the field at the same time. I have had a suspicion that Hollister didn't lose his job to Sweeney, he lost it to Kumerow. If they want two receiving TE's on the field, I suspect the staff thinks Kumerow can fill that role. They are the same height, Hollister has 30 lbs, but Kumerow is quicker. I suspect Kumerow is a better ST player as well. They view Kumerow as a better big bodied receiving threat and provides more utility at ST. 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he makes crucial plays and stops the critical drops and missed blocks, he's on probation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 You just know the coaches don't have trust in Knox with the amount of heaping praise here for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Why we hang on to Webb Davis and dont sign Hollister to the PS is beyond me. Lets just be honest about it and hire Webb as a Coach, assistant to Ken Dorsey. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember one TC report that the Bills were using Kumerow in a very different way that couldn’t be divulged lest the reporter receive a Chris Brown-like suspension. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
