Can’t imagine the Bills try a platoon at outside WR…. Stick Harris in the slot and get a good 1B across from Diggs and call it a day at WR.

 

Or get the RB's and TE's involved in the passing game like a competent OC/QB combo would do. No need for a 1B WR. Knock on wood one of those guys doesn't go down. If we build a passing attack to spread the ball around more, we can manage better through any potential injuries that could come up.

McKenzie turns that into a 10 yard completion... or a dropped pass.

you may be right about Mckenzie but we just signed this guy for a lot of money for someone who has a great chance of being hurt.

Actually, I take back what I wrote earlier.

 

This is great.  Dorsey will find a way to get him involved.  

 

That has sort of been Dorsey's M.O. since taking over the reigns last year.  He'll most assuredly keep the Happiness Factory that is our current WR corps humming right a long.

“ we need playmakers”.  “We need speed”. “We need a slot WR”. “Beane neglects offense”. 
 

Bills sign a playmaking slot WR (that can also make contested catches) with blazing speed:  “why’d we pay him so much?”

 

🤦🏻‍♂️

 

Yeah I think most of us saying those things had something else in mind than a guy who had 2 receptions last season and has 4 total TD's in 4 years in the NFL.

 

Our version of "playmaker" is a bit different than this.

Loved this guy in college, had some great moments in 21

 

Go to a lot of Assumption Greyhound games in 2018 did ya.  You must live int he Worcester area.  

 

Dude had 751 yards playing for Assumption in his last season there.  LOL   I'll give it to ya, he did post great games against St. Anselm, Bentley, and American International College.  Not much different the year prior where he posted great games against Findley and Merrimack.  

 

It's the Northeast 10 Conference, that I'd never even heard about.  Not exactly the SEC.  Just sayin'.  I hope he had some great moments.

That is probably the plan.  Needed to fix slot I think they did that here.  I think there is likely another WR coming this UFA.  Also a 1 year prove it with a second year if player performs does not stop that or stop taking WRs early in the draft.

Yep. Load up at WR…. Hopefully they’ve seen the light.

   I hope he’s useful and utilized.

   But, I’m starting to sense a pattern that Beane like little fast guys.

    5’6” !?!?

    How about getting Josh a 6’2” receiver who can use his body to block out DBs and fights for balls.

What do you mean. At 5'6" that's all he will be fighting, Is balls.

Yours is a very shallow opinion.  He was injured last season.  The previous season, he was VERY good in several metrics.  Top 5 WR good.  No, he’s not a top 5 WR, not even close, but he can we worth the money we paid him if used properly.

I'm curious, what do you see that he "brings ot the field?"  Here is his career gamelog;  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrDe07/gamelog/

 

I'm guessing it's the kinda thing where you actually have to watch the game.  😁

 

Return man wasn't very high up our needs list given all the other needs.  BTW, he's got a 47.9 rating on PFF, which is piss poor.  While hardly the end-all-to-be-all, their methodology is sound over there.  

 

Right now I see Milano having a busy season.  LOL  Apparently until further notice his new position is OIMOLB.  LOL  

 

Seems like a stupid signing to me.  I mean really, we sign Hines as an outlet, don't use him at all like that, when he's fantastic at it.  Draft Cook for the same reason, don't use him much.  I don't see this guy catching more than 25-30 passes with all of the options that Allen has.  If I had to bet I'd say fewer than 20.  That was hardly the case in NO where they had a roster full of nothing JAG WRs.  

 

Terrible signing, waste of money, and IMO this is Beane's way of trying to recover Hodgins, thinking he's going under the wire to redeem himself.  Sounds just like Beane.  His Draft had better be A+ or he's going to sink himself.  

 

 

 

 

Didnt need to read this far to know youre clueless, but it certainly reinforced it lol please tell me one thing these two have in common other than position

 

ill anxiously await your breath taking knowledge lol

Good signing. You don't get a 6'4" receiver with track speed and good hands and availability at a discount. Yes, it's a chance, but you've got to take them when you don't have a lot of money but a lot of holes to fill.

 

If he stays healthy, yes, a big if, people will love him here.

Ultra efficient ... ROFLMA   

 

You've just gotta love it when those adjectives are the greatness in players.  

 

Please stop ... LOL 

 

 

please stop what?  Using stats?  You can use a 47 Pff rating based on 5 games and 2 targets….. but then real stats are used and “please stop LOL” is your rebuttal.  Great job

I’m just glad I found out more about this poster while he was still a little purple guy.  Ignore now while we remember.

I've literally never heard of this guy before even before the name change not that it means anything but I feel I'm pretty knowledgeable on current players around the league. A concern i have is that he plays in a dome so will he have the same explosion in 30 degree whether or in snowstorms that we tend to have yearly? Plus he's 5'7" 170 lbs.
