OldTimer1960 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Depth Chart: Diggs Davis - really too injured to be effective, but gutting it out McKenzie - concussion, likely out at least 1 game Crowder - out for season broken ankle Kumerow - out, ankle Shakir - likely starting v. Pitt Boy, that is f*cking ugly. Davis should be sitting until healthy, but they NEED a body on the field. Shakir will be fine, I think. Nobody else even has much chance at all of playing this week. Can’t go into a game with only Diggs, Shakir and a seriously hobbled Davis. Who is available? I loved Isaiah Hodgins effort in preseason, but he can’t create separation against preseason fodder. I don’t think he will contribute anything of note in the regular season. None of the other practice squad bunch is likely to help. I guess maybe Tavon Austin could make a play once in a while, but I would not want to count on him much. Do they have $ to sign a vet? Is one available who could be more than just a guy? Is Emmanuel Sanders in shape? Beasley signed elsewhere. TY Hilton? Will Fuller? Things are desperate enough to consider a trade, but really can’t take on significant salary so maybe for a young guy they liked that hasn’t hit it big yet? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, might as well move Cook to the WR depth chart since they don't want to use him at RB. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think this week they go: 1) Diggs 2) Davis 3) Shakir 4) Austin (from PS) 5) Hodgins (from PS) Then they probably mix in more of Cook and DS into the passing game, and maybe go more two TE’s. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I don't think we can assume McKenzie is out. Conclusions come in all levels of severity. I read on this board he's doing his show today which implies it's likely not severe. And hopefully Davis will be better with resting most of the week. Othersise, Hodgkins or Austin it is. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't get a ProBowler but maybe a promising young player. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, and Shakir to be ready to go. We have Hodgins and Austin on the PS. Stevenson also just completed his 4 game IR stint if we want to activate him to fill Crowders spot on the roster. I think we are fine. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billznut Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think this week against a relatively poor Steelers squad will be the week that we go to a more balanced offensive scheme. Expect lots more runs and throws to the RBs and TEs. Doubtful the game plan will be to air it out deep much this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabden Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) We still have Knox and Morris, plus Gilliam and Cook. Bring up Hodgins even if they run him as a decoy. I think the bigger problem is on special teams, as in who will be running back kickoffs (at least once) and punts (many times.) Hyde, Crowder, McKenzie were the punt returners.

whorlnut Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I said this all off-season…I was never impressed by what they did at WR. I love Diggs and Davis. They are REALLY good, but beyond them it’s very suspect. Crowder on a one year deal. McKenzie on a two year deal that they can get out of after one year. Shakir has a shot at being good so the jury is out there. The rest is just guys. We are a pass first team that isn’t very deep at WR talent wise and our oline is patched together too. I’m sorry guys, but we need to add like crazy this off-season to the line and WR corp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
