Does Dorsey have those plays in the playbook?

This. 

 

McKenzie isn't a bad player. 

 

McKenzie is a bad starting slot wide receiver in a pass heavy offense. 

 

No reason why he can't help us, now, as WR4 and in the gadget role.  

Should play 5-10 snaps. Guy who is in motion a lot. Occasionally gets an end around or the quick out on a pick route. Maybe sprinkle in a cross or screen. You just want the D to have to at least account for him in that capacity. Much more valuable doing that than being your starting slot.

Agree.  I just do not think Dorsey has that creativity in him is all.

I don't want to overstate the value of this.

 

I do not see this as a long term remarriage. I legit think that the Bills will try something else to fill the role this off-season. I stand by the decision to cut him. He wasn't worth the cap hit and he was clearly unhappy about something because he wanted a trade. 

 

This is one of those situations where a marriage falls apart and each side starts seeing other people only to find out the grass isn't as green on the other side. 

 

The Bills don't have a way to consistently keep drives going when teams move to bracket coverage on Diggs. Beasley has learned what the rest of the league values him at.

 

And I feel dirty saying this, but I think this helps our Super Bowl chances more than rolling the dice on OBJ at this point. 

 

 

 

 

 


Can you take your dirty feelings to PPP ? 
 

He’s just a wide receiver.   It’s not that deep.

He's not a bad slot receiver. He's in a bad scheme to his strengths. There aren't many teams that could use him. You'd need a good TE to help put someone else in the slot to draw your coverage from a LB in the seam. The Ravens would be a good fit. 

 

Or you'd need a RB that makes the other team avoid nickel and dime all of the time to use a 11 package where both are respected but they can run. The Browns are an example. McKenzie would be good there . 


If you’re a slot wr who’s a bad fit for most offenses, it seems that questions how good you are.  
 

If you need to go to a specific scheme to be a good slot, that probably is because you’re a gadget player.

I've never seen a player more ridiculed for standing up for his personal beliefs.  I just don't understand.  Don't agree with his views on things?  Who the heck cares!  People should be able to live their lives not having random people yelling at them because they feel a different way about something.  Makes no sense and it's just stupid.

 

As for the move itself, we'll see what happens.  The guy definitely doesn't have the same juice he had a couple years ago. But the fact is, he may not need to in order to help this team.  If it's 3rd or 4th and 2 and he catches the ball and falls down for 2 or 3 yards and moves the chains, that is an upgrade to someone open 15 yards down the field that drops the ball more often than they catch it.  Sure, it won't look pretty, but even 1-2 new sets of downs during a game could make a huge impact on the results of a game.  There's literally no harm in trying this out.  Worst case is that it doesn't work out and the guy can't play.  No different than the current guys on this team dropping passes in important situations.  Best case is that he comes in in certain situations and either makes a play himself or draws enough attention to make it easier on someone else to make a play.  Sounds like we will find out soon enough.

That’s not the issue.  He left not because of his beliefs, but because he couldn’t keep them in check at and relative to his place of employment.  Them’s the breaks, as they say.  
 

So long as he’s a team player and can contribute a bit, I’m glad he’s back.  He’s one of us, irrespective of what he does or not believe relative to the now-academic issue in question.

Agreed. Outside of Diggs (I know he wasn’t drafted high), our offense is devoid of 1st/2nd round talent. 

Just Diggs (in trade) and Allen.  

 

2018 - 1st on QB, 1st on LBer 3rd-5th on Defense

2019 1st on DT 2-3rd on offense

2020 1st on DE then offense

2021 1st and 2nd on DE (so we used 2 first and a 2nd and STILL had to give a 100M to a DE)

2022 - 1st on CB

 

I wish the offense has those type assets on it.

Well they have tried... Hopefully we get it right next year. 

 

WR:

Davis - 4th round

Hodgins - 6th round

Stevenson - 6th round

Shakir - 5th round

Free agents and trades: Brown, Beasley, Crowder, Sanders, Benjamin, McK

 

RB:

Singletary - 3rd round

Moss - 3rd round

Cook - 2nd round

Free agents and trades: Hines, Johnson, Breida, Yeldon

4,5,6 rds seems more like wishing/hoping. You try and go get playmakers!! You don't wait for them to drop into your lap. I'm sorry, but offensive linemen aren't playmakers. They're pieces to mold. I wouldn't use an early pick on an offensive lineman ever!!

Geez when you look at this, and add in the O line, it's kind of shocking what little resources we have put around Josh. And still be one of the best offenses says so much about his talent. But wow we really have to focus on O the next few off seasons

Marquise Goodwin is a good example of specific traits of WRs make a difference. The game has more nuance at the position than ever before. 

 

How similar are Cooper Kupp, juju Smith (I don't respect hyphenated names so I don't use them), Tyreek hill, Robert woods, Adam Thielen?  All slot WRs. 

 

Its a very dynamic position to describe because often times teams take their limited route runners to the slot and coach them to the open areas. These WRs seldom succeed on the outside due to many factors.

 

I love football xs and os so if you want it could really break this down. But I hate the names of erhmantrout Perkins offense, or kgun, etc. So I just describe football

If anyone is confused why we added Cole to the PS then check above and read that three times to yourself again.

 

Or…read below:

 

WE LEAD THE NFL IN DROPS.

WE DON'T LEAD THE NFL IN DROPS (Green bay does, with 30)

 

WE RANK 6th IN DROP PERCENTAGE (6.4%)

 

TAKE AWAY McKENZIE'S DROPS AND WE'RE AT THE NFL AVERAGE (5.2%)
