Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just now, Orlando Tim said: The 5 receiver set of Diggs and Davis outside and then Shakir- who I am still high on- in the slot, and then Josh can move Knox and Kincaid around wherever he wants, would make things very flexible. Or you put cook or hines instead of shakir. It's 12 personnel but we can split 4 or 5 out. You wanna roll nickel? ok we should have size advantage to run... and you might get a nickel back trying to cover a knox or kincaid. you add an extra backer? Good luck covering cook and hines with your linebacker. Create mismatches. I look at it like we struggled against blitzes at times last year - we can use a big target to find soft spots and make contested catches. We also didn't have as much of a game within the red zone, and i think adding a dynamic TE can unlock a bit more of a run game and play action within that spasce.

Exactly...Did not have TE on my mind AT ALL outside of Washington...I was on the phone with my Nephew literally telling him I want Washington or Mazi there... I really have no idea why I never thought about Kincaid because we were just talking about no TE's taken to that point, and how weird it was. Then the Bills trade up, and I said to him "Who are they jumping ahead of Dallas for?" Then it hit me immediately... Kincaid...I was mocking to Kincaid to the Cowboys since forever. And I was a little shocked for a few mins...Not gonna lie... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabstblueribbon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I'm in agreement that this will be up to Dorsey. I made the terrible mistake of picking Kyle Pitts last season in fantasy, which lead to watching more Falcons games than usual. The take away I had was that atl was trying to stick a square peg in a round hole. They took a Jimmy Graham and tried to make him a George Kittle and his supreme athleticism was wasted trying to learn how to block on the line like a "traditional TE". We really just need DK to block down the field at a Gabe Davis / Robert Woods level and allow him to find open holes and make Dorsey look like an offensive mastermind lol. Sometimes when I watch KC I wonder how much is Andy Reid and how much is Travis Kelce, every time that guy mysteriously finds himself WIDE OPEN!

Nihilarian Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just think for a min... if this kid is anything like KC TE Travis Kelce...what that will do for Josh Allen and that Buffalo passing offense. Also, think of the history of the Dallas Cowboy's long list of top TEs and Buffalo went up and grabbed this kid away from them...simply awesome! Now the Bills will look to fill other positions and their needs with the remaining draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a slot WR who is also a huge bowling ball, with insane hands and insane ability to highpoint. He'd be all-pro with pretty much any team assuming they had a QB worth a damn.

He shouldnt ever be compared to a TE Sure, if you look at form over function. Beasley functioned as the Bills best over the middle, zone beating, stick moving, pressure release valve. All while having the highest catch % on the team. This seems to be the same role the Bills are hoping Kincaid fills. Side note, the year we lost to KC in the AFC championship game. I can't help but wonder how much different that game would have been had Beasley not fractured his damn leg going after 1,000 yards against the Pats in a game that was all sewed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruffalo Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm firmly in the "well that's fine" camp on this pick. I'm not that excited, TEs rarely make a big splash year 1. Maybe it'll make Knox better, I don't know. I still want Hopkins or a WR investment in round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabstblueribbon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Beas was also extremely "qb friendly" when the line broke down and Josh had to go backyard football mode and make something happen. The more I'm thinking about this pick the more I like it lol. Not to derail from the topic too much, but if Bean goes psycho mode and grabs that burner from TN as a development wr?

finn Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Thurman#1 said: I guess you can argue he's been underutilized, but not a whole lot. 17th in TE targets. 17th in TE receptions. Tied for 5th in TE TDs. 14th in TE yards. All this for a guy whose brother died during the season. Is it really that surprising that they started him slow? He had 27 targets in the first eight weeks, out of his total of 65. He had 20 catches out of 48 in his first eight games. Folks, none of this makes any less than total sense. Finn, "incompetent" is way way overstating it for Brown, who was recovering from back surgery, didn't have an offseason, and improved a lot as the season went along. But yeah, fair enough, he wasn't as good as we wanted and may well have needed more help sometimes than you'd want him to, and that may have affected the way they used Knox. Yes, you're right. I was venting my frustration to a degree after seeing Brown so often miss his block. It seemed that Allen's routine was to go back, dodge Brown's missed block, dodge Saffold's blown assignment, and only then get ready to throw. Your assessment is more sober and accurate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
