However, after multiple threads regarding such a possibility were started and subsequently locked in the off-season, I believe that angering a moderator is now referred to as 'getting their Ertz'. * 😇 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 4 minutes ago, SCBills said: Oh, agreed - I'm definitely talking about 2021. Now that Knox has developed into that guy, he's simply benefitting from what Kelce (Hill) has. For me, Kelce is his comp. They have similar playing styles, albeit Kelce with much more experience and nuance in his route running from that experience. Kelce, ultra-athletic 6'5 260. Knox, ultra-athletic 6'4 255. I think we agree more than we disagree, but just a little point that it's more than nuance to the route running. Knox was simply not very physical in his release or his route running. It was pretty easy to neutralize him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistofFate Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I've been a Knox fan since he ran over 3 Bengals in route to a Bills win.

Kelce knows how to leverage his body on smaller defenders to create separation of certain routes, and that's something Knox will learn.

billsfan89 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Never thought Knox couldn’t develop Into a starting caliber TE. But he has completely taken over Gabe Davis and even Beasley at this point as the teams third receiving option which I never thought would happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 2 hours ago, Don Otreply said: back handed compliment, taking advantage of one’s circumstances is what good players do. It’s what E Sanders has been doing for five straight games, Go Bills!!! If you think it’s a backhanded compliment, so be it. I like knox. I’ve always liked Knox. I’ve always compared him to Josh Allen playing TE. Through 5 games in 2020 he’s living up to his massive potential Sanders is an impeccable route runner with great hands, feel and speed. That’s what he’s been doing for almost 10 years. Yes, he is reaping the benefits of playing with 17 and 14 as well. We are also reaping the benefits of having him in our offense. Just like Knox.

WideNine Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Nothing to apologize for. Most fans saw the potential, but needed Knox to become more consistent catching the ball and to stop putting the ball on the turf or popping it up with a tip drill. Knox has done just that and I cannot think of any fans that would be upset by this growth in his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 No apologies from me. I've been on the Knox bandwagon since his rookie year.

Freddie's Dead Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I was a huge Knox fan, got tired of seeing the untimely drops.

HappyDays Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 1) I wanted Ertz as bad as anyone on here. 2) I predicted Hollister would beat Knox out. 3) I said during the offseason I saw no sign of progress from Knox and that his upside was only hypothetical. I was wrong a million times over. He has been sensational. Not only is he catching the ball and blocking better, he is making himself available to Allen which to me was the biggest piece missing from this offense last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Him becoming the 3 recieving option opens everything up. The drop in coverage defense gets carved up by Knox and Beasley. Bracket Beasley now Knox is up the seam for 15. Carry Knox up the seam Beasley is open at the sticks. Knox with confidence may become a monster.

NewEra Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) what he has worked so hard on becoming (and seems to have become) is exactly what we needed last year. teams want to take away Diggs and Knox? Go ahead, we can trust our complimentary players to make the play. Knox, Singletary and Moss all look better this season. the Rbs each had a drop vs KC, but ran hard and Josh wasn't afraid to give them the ball when the other options weren't open. I really wanted to an another TE threat to the rotation and run some 2 TE sets to switch things up and keep the defenses honest and help our run game. While they didn't add a TE they decided that Gilliam could be that guy to switch things up. He played 22 snaps last night and is filling that extra blocker role just fine. It's been really fun to watch this offense (and the kids that play in it) progress. Our coaching staff is making our players better. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the players individual work ethic (and that's part of why we drafted/acquired them), but players around the league are going to notice. That will lead to the bargain free agent signings and maybe some home town discounts. Which I was told doesn't exist *cough* Matt Milano. POyer and Hyde signing extensions making less than 10M a year while Eddie jackson get 14M, Landon Collins gets 16M, Adams gets 17.5, Justin Simmons 15.5. Mathieu getting almost 19 this year. I realize some of those guys might be a little better than ours, but I believe they gave us a discount to stay together and win the whole dam thing with 17. The hometown discounts have already begun. Hopefully Knox will give us a discount. If he continues to play like this (he looks DAM GOOD) he's going to top the 12.5 Jonnu and henry got and could get the 14M andrews got. Not every contract will be at a discounted rate, but I'm confidant that we'll be able to sign some good value FA's in the coming years.

Really excited to see what he does the rest of the year. it’s something infecting a certain subset of (new) Bills fans - take any decent, kinda clever idea and beat it to death. Look I didn’t think the “apology form” thing was that clever when they did it for Allen. But some media members and other Allen “haters” got into it for a few days and everyone had a chuckle. So let’s now rehash the idea over and over and make it the lamest **** on earth. honestly, if the post starts with “saw this idea on Reddit” it should be insta-deleted.
