Who'd have thunk it?

That after 4 games in:

 

Dawson Knox would have 4 TDs - the same as all Bills WRs total!

The Bills RBs would have 4 rushing TDs - half of last years total RB Rushing TDs for the season!

That the longest play from scrimmage is Devin Singletary's 46 yard run.  Not a Josh Allen pass!

That Bills Safeties would have 4 INTs >2 LB INTs>1 CB INT

I think it's great. More balance. Can win multiple ways.

Dawson Knox ha been on a really good streak extending from last season, actually. His past 13 or 14 games have been pretty solid.

 

I held my breath and tolerated the dropsies because he made the tough catches. He doesn’t have bad hands. The drops seemed a matter of concentration before looking to make the BIG play.  I’ve loved his upside all along, and I think he can be a top TE in this league. 

 

Balance is a very good thing, and I love seeing us run the ball the way we have. I think we are #5 in the NFL in rush yards/game. The people who saw no need for a run game when it was easy to pass in the preseason should appreciate the way we were able to run in the rain and driving winds we’ve seen. An effective passing game is great, but there is nothing like being able to run when they know it’s coming to close out a game, and the defense just has no answer. That can suck the soul out of your opponent.

I'm getting excited knowing Knox just might be getting started.  He's still only 24.  

It would be unbelievable if he could truly make a jump to that next level and STAY THERE CONSISTENTLY! 

 

So far, so good!

The offense has been a surprise in style so far, but probably shouldn't have been.  They have evolved in every year Daboll has been here.  Keeping in mind that he is a New England coaching tree product, it makes perfect sense.  If you think about New England's strongest teams during Brady's run, they could, and they did attack teams how ever they wanted, based on the opposition's personnel and the situation.  They often changed stripes mid game, going from passing circles around a team to running the ball down their throats (with a cast of very effective and unspectacular running backs) at the snap of a finger.  

 

I think that Daboll is intent on rebuilding that perfect beast here.  And I think that we may be in for a treat as his creation is starting to simmer into something special.  When you pair that with the defense that Frazier and McD have put together, you have to feel good about the direction this team is headed.  This is an extremely difficult team to beat.  Sunday should be fun to see.

I would love to see a couple of soul-crushing drives against KC Sunday night…the 12-13 play variety using short passes and runs to demoralize the D and quiet the crowd.  Quick-strike TDs are all well and good, but not when you’re just giving the ball right back to the Showman and his cast of athletic freaks.

Sure sounds a lot like the game planning clinic the Giants put on in Super Bowl XXV.

I couldn’t agree more. The first drive of the final preseason game showed exactly what the Bills passing offense should look like. Quick passes in rapid succession all the way down the field….touchdown. Now, if they can keep Daboll from getting bored up there just keep calling those plays until the Chiefs prove they can stop it. I’m guessing they can’t.

I've always tried to be patient with the guy.  Even productive college TE's traditionally struggle to make a major impact in year 1.  Knox barely touched the ball in college so I've been hoping it was more of a year 3 impact on a slower development curve.  The guy's starting to make people notice him, which will only help the other pass catchers in the offense.

Yeah impressed with Knox. Guess that's probably why Hollister was let go lol. I remember I questioned how much/what impact the ping pong ball experience would help him improve. Apparently it has made a significant difference so far. Happy it is working out in his favor.

Gilliams flexibility helps with the Hollister loss.  Gilliam plays teams, fullback, and TE.  Seems to be a gamer too.

Kelce was 25 before he hit the starting lineup.  Interesting, that against the Eagles, he only had 4 catches for 23 yards.  Hmmm
