Gameplan tonight was to get the ball out quick to neutralize AD. Easier said than done, obviously. But that's why Knox was quiet, IMO. Lots of hitches and other quick stuff. Knox hasn't really been that guy used in that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and if they waited until this off season it would have been 350,000+ per reception because they were bringing him back and the TE market is going up during and after this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I didn’t understand the contract because Knox has never been a heavily involved focal point of the receiving game, yet he was paid like it. I’m sure they paid him on the potential to be a focal point, or a TE who could take over games, but I would’ve had to see it first, even if it would’ve raised his contract by a few dollars. Thought it was bad then and I still think it’s bad now and no, my thoughts have nothing to do with the loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It's too early to say this was a bad move but I'm always leery of big extensions after a guy has one good season just like JA17 who at least proved he wasn't fluke and one year wonder. Hopefully Knox steps things up in the coming weeks or it will definitely be a questionable move by Beane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals will get more and more inflated, that’s a guarantee. He’s a quality young player at a position that’s starting to get paid, they didn’t make the same mistake they did with Diggs and let the market re-set. They could have likely extended Diggs in the off-season for 20% less, then all hell broke loose with Adams and Hill, now the mediocre FAs are getting 18M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Knox felt like an additional receiving option under Daboll. Under Dorsey he appears to be being used as a blocker more. I haven’t looked at the numbers to see if that is the case; just feels like he’s being thrown to less this year so far compared to the past.

It's a fair point. Unreal how sensitive people are to it. The fact people feel the need to attack the poster for facts says more about the people responding than the original statement. I'm willing to give Dawson a pass due to the death of his brother being a major distraction that you can't expect someone to push aside. I've got a longer leash for him before i get on him, but you better believe the first 3 weeks couldn't be any worse. At his contract value he will need to produce, it's not a fan favorite type contract, it's a big producer contract. $15 MM cap hit in the final 3 years good lord that structure is whack.

metbill Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I am sure he will have a breakout game soon. I do worry he has been lost in the shuffle as we are basically in the meat of our schedule and he has not been a big part. Statistically he is the 24th rated TE in the league. Of course my hopes are real selfish, I also have him on my fantasy team! I would guess with the nagging injury issues and the death of his brother, he is in a bit of a fog and trying to get re-centered. Whatever the case is, I really want to see him get back to being productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Are you guys this hypersensitive to every stat to complain because we lost the Fins? Cmon guys. our players were dropping like flies last weekend. Just do a gut check. We’ll see what happens and Dorsey’s finding his way. He’s much better than an outside OC who’s never worked with Josh. It will work itself out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I am kind of surprised he’s not being used more I was envisioning a two titan set system this year so that we might be able to run the ball a little better while still having pass catchers on the field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd1 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 It is hard to remember but the Bills have many players (already) that are playing with INJURIES. Perhaps it is due to this that there is an intentional effort to NOT involve "hobbled" players the majority of game plays. Knox is on injury report for "Back/hip" injury. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury-report/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I think part of it is also that our OLine is a weakness, and he's being called on to block more as well. But they need to incorporate him into the passing game in the coming weeks. He's too big of a mismatch to just let him become an inline blocker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Three weeks in and he doesn't seem like a big part of the receiving offense. I thought I'd see more moving him around the formation, and trying to truly develop a #1 Tight End. Instead, it's been shallow routes and blocking.
