John from Riverside Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Disappointed in Tommy Sweeney I really thought that if he got the opportunity he would end up being a good player for us on a safety valve for Josh Allen I also thought that he would be a better blocker what are you showing to be I knew that Dawson Knox was better and had evolved into a better player but I thought Sweeney was an unfounded gem Disappointed there Edited November 8, 2021 by John from Riverside 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Buffalo always roots for the underdog Unfortunately, he's slow , not a great blocker and not a threat after the catch He seems like a nice guy but a borderline TE3 in the NFL 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Huff Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Josh had no time to pass the ball. I’m disappointed in the entire offensive line. Maybe if they could have blocked some bodies Sweeney would have had a few more targets Edit: And also, he was a 7th round draft pick for a reason Edited November 8, 2021 by Brennan Huff Meh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryland-bills-fan Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Maybe they should think about taking an offensive tackle and putting an extra blocker on the line, in order to give some pazaz to the running game? Bates? Douglas? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 And why did you have this belief in the 7th round draft pick? Did he ever show you anything to make you believe that he would be a good player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I mean he is a former 7th round pick. There was no reason to expect him to be more than what he is.... which is a marginal NFL payer. They are definitely missing Knox because he is part of their counter to the 2 deep shell. But there are bigger problems than who is playing tight end too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 One way to help a struggling OL is with TE play. Im not disappointed in Sweeney because he’s just not good. I’m more disappointed we didn’t make a move for Ertz. We couldn’t foresee Knox getting hurt, but we could foresee the OL continue to have struggles and potential injuries. Would've given us the option of legit 12 personnel and, without a doubt, we win that Jax game if Allen has competent TE play in Ertz. That’s already one game lost that I absolutely feel we would’ve won with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....since you asked someone else...I'll answer As a rookie in 2019, he played in 6 games while both Kroft and Knox were hurt, and showed flashes in a couple of his early games. In the final game vs. the Jets, he was basically much of the Bills passing offense 5 receptions for 76 yds. He looked good. This off-season, the Bills chose to keep Sweeney on the roster above Jake Hollister, who has actually played in the league 5 years and when given a chance on offense, looked competent, at least at the "replacement level" So since the Bills chose to keep Sweeney above Hollister, the natural conclusion is that they saw Sweeney as a better player. 43 minutes ago, SCBills said: One way to help a struggling OL is with TE play.

He's not the "complete package" as a blocking TE, thus not "legit 12 personnel" 1 hour ago, RunJoshRun said: What happened to Reggie Gilliam as a TE and FB? Good question.
