Maybe Torrence will pan out but having a rookie next to Brown is very scary. All the depth players we sign don’t do anything to help the starting lineup, and that what we need. It isn't scary having a rookie starting on the offensive line. It happens every season with a lot of teams. For the linemen, some guys just have it. That's why I'm excited about Torrence. If he's good enough to start, he's going to do nothing but help. Will he make an occasional mistake? Sure, but everyone makes mistakes. If he's good enough to start, he's better than Bates, and that's a good thing. And as others have said, and I repeated yesterday, the problem with the pass protection has been the middle. If the middle is solid, and if Dawkins is good enough, having a weak right tackle is a relatively small problem, because that's the easiest direction for Josh to handle the pass rush from. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Torrence will pan out but having a rookie next to Brown is very scary. All the depth players we sign don’t do anything to help the starting lineup, and that what we need. No, we didn't basically add one guy to our OL. Did the Chiefs not build an elite OL (in part) due to drafting two top tier IOL in Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith? By all accounts, Torrence was the best pure Guard in the Draft. He slid because teams (ours included) value position flex on the OL. Given we have so much of that, we can take a swing on a guy who can only play Guard. McGovern is entering his prime years, and is an above average pass blocker / slightly below average run blocker up to this point. In today's NFL, that's the DNA of a good Offensive Lineman with some further potential. Bates may start the season at RG, and if he does, ok.. fine.. he's solid. However, we added two big pieces to the OL. Two guys who can reasonably be expected to be upgrades to the OL. No guarantees, and maybe they flop, but two big additions were made.. not one.

MasterStrategist Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 3 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: I think what's lost on the people who insist you are over-reacting to Shakir dropping passes is that he was a ball dropper last year and he needs to be a guy who drops maybe 1 pass in 20 targets. He's getting just a handful of targets daily so it's notable when he's being noted for dropping some of those few targets. He won't make it dropping 2 out of every 20 targets.......that's approaching a league worst kinda' drop rate. Bring a numbers guy, you should definitely understand that 20 targets isn't credible/far too few to pass judgment on a rookie. 1 fluke pass/drop, and there you go. His Dolphins drop LY was a momentum killer and inexcusable at the time, but not his MO. Agree a 10% drop rate isn't good at all, but if Shakir only sees 20 targets this year then that clearly means Kincaid/Harty/Sherfield are getting the targets...and nobody will be critiquing Shakirs 20, but the others who are getting looks. Shakir MO has always been solid to great hands. At Boise St, it was always a plus and his RAC ability. He also showed well in camp LY, and earlier this May. Beane has been praising him. I think it's just way too early to pass judgment. It's overreacting when someone says they're done with a player, especially someone coming into Year 2 who only had 20 targets....and especially when they're making that judgment on twitter reports (which have been inconsistent). Perhaps the same conclusion will be reached at a later point, but not triggered based on inconsistent twitter reports 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 1 hour ago, nucci said: ok but guessing defense would remove LBs and replace with DBs with only Allen being able to run the ball. 6 DB, 1 LB for Allen and you're covered. Fair. The only thing I'd point out is that, based on camp reports, Allen has actually handed the ball off to Knox a time or two from this "two TE backfield" formation. Maybe that's the counter if the defense does goes dime formation. You don't want to be handing it off to your TE too often, of course, but maybe it's something they'd employ occasionally to keep defenses honest.

34-78-83 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The thing I've noticed that gets left out of these flash reports is context. Very few of the reports are providing that. For example, one practice day, most of the action was in the red zone (ie. tight space and timing). On another day, the team worked almost exclusively on 1st/2nd down (ie. advantage offense), today it was mostly 3rd and long situations (ie. advantage defense).

You’re better than that. I agree that it’s frustrating to see tweets about him dropping passes- but you can’t let social media dictate your feeling about a player. He had the same problem last year. It's also been a recurring issue at training camp this year and was one of the weaknesses on his scouting report coming out of Boise State. It might just be who he is. I have no patience left for trying to rely on unreliable players. If he had some other elite skill like explosiveness or route running you can live with below average hands, but his skill set overall is just "fine slot WR."

A guy like Shakir doesn't create plays; he takes advantage of opportunities that are created by the guys who DO create, like Allen and Diggs and Cook and (we can hope, Kincaid). If you're a player who takes advantage of opportunities then, well, you have to take advantage. In other words, you have to catch it when it comes to you. One drop in 20 may be too much to ask, but I'm concerned when it seems there's a daily drop or two. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was focused on people already being done with him, because of some twitter reports on drops. Yes, he had drops in college...some were bad (like Miami game), some bc he has short arms. But he has strong/50-50 type hands and a skill set we lack with RAC. We will see what happens, but I think Shakir actually does create plays. He's good RAC, catching in traffic, and creating separation in routes. He struggled against reading zones and nuances of being a rookie. I have higher expectations for Dalton, and he's a better player than Shakir. But Shakir will likely turn out to be our primary slot guy, when Kincaid isn't out there, and used in a variety of ways.

If you have your mind made up on 21 targets and some random twitter reports, that's a you problem. EDIT: this is from just after the draft, but some Beane comments on Shakir and "1" sample video in there. If we want to rip on his 1 drop, let's see his great catch too...that was clutch. Beane has spoken highly about Shakir, unprovoked, on several occasions. Unless he has a horrible preseason, he's going to be a key player on offense. Likely splitting time in the slot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/bills-brandon-beane-khalil-shakir-bigger-role/amp/ Edited August 1, 2023 by MasterStrategist 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so over it. Way too much over reaction going on to some camp practices with unreliable reports where people don't have the luxury of NFL game coverage to see the angles of what really happened. Like did the defender deflect the ball first, knock the ball away, etc. He still has to earn his role, but to write him off over some tweets by people who we have no idea if they can even see everything happening on each play is premature IMHO. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented player in space, but we have Diggs, Davis, Cook, Knox, Kincaid etc., to feed before we focus on getting the ball to Shakir on designed plays. Rookie contract may be his saving grace, but he seems to be struggling a bit more than I'd like to hear for a second year player in this system. Reports on him are conflicting...seems some think he has been solid others seem to think he has struggled. I think the real evaluation will come with preseason because he will get a lot of opportunities to play given they are going to sit Diggs and Davis a lot of the preseason. I still think he is a promising player, I was high on him coming out of college, he was projected as high as the 2nd round, and multiple GM's did not like he slipped to us in the 5th round either. But he had limited reps last year and involvement in the offense, so he still has to get comfortable and work his way in. Its on him to earn his reps though, they won't be handed to him, there are a lot of mouths to feed on this offense now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we stay healthy and Spencer Brown isn’t a detriment we have as good a shot as anyone imo Oh I think they are as good as anyone but the receiver question is going to linger on till they finally win one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
