I don't think so, the first one the tackler in the front takes out his legs at the thigh, the other two are different. Also looks like the first he is tackled on the logo, so around midfield, second starts around the 20. Crazy how similar all three look, he's so smooth and consistent in his movements, it's pretty wild. Edit: actually I think the second and third shot are the same catch, but the first one is different!

ngbills Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 He has looked good so far. But what he has done thus far I would expect from most NFL prospects. Catching passes 1-1 vs a LB is expected, not unique. Hoping and expect to see more as the season progress that shows he is an elite pass catching TE. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I'm no scout, I leave that up to the experts like @GunnerBill. All I know is that when I watched some of his college tape it was plainly obvious to me that he was going to be successful in the NFL. The fluidity of his routes, the fluidity of his run after catch, the catching ability, the instincts to find gaps in zone defense. For the life of me I couldn't find a single reason to think he would fail in the NFL, as long as he stays healthy. Never thought he would drop to us. Couldn't be happier we got him. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Kincaid was talked up by a lot of draft gurus. He has performed really well in camp. He looks pretty good in preseason too.

I was happy to see him move on. You have mega consistency, and sure hands with him. He really has all the tools and will be a star I believe (judging from watching lots of his college games) It was home run draft pick, imo...NOW I love the guy!

That includes myself. Kincaid makes a few pre season catches and he gets praise, accolades, and optimism is through the roof. Kincaid is unproven in the NFL. Tight ends generally are slow developing in the NFL. Remember all the hype about Pitts? Engram? The Bills get throttled by Pitt and several players looked like dog poop, mediocre, subpar, etc...Fans responses are it's only pre season, there's time for improvement, he can get in shape, he can get coached up, he just had a bad game. Come on now! What a paradox. Cherry picking is what we do. He dropped for a reason. Let that sink in too. He's no sure thing especially with Dorsey calling plays. He's unproven and I'm going to hope for the best. He certainly can be a weapon. I just have to temper my expectations on a rookie TE who played at Utah. You are one of the three worst posters here. Kincaid's tape shows a ton of high upside, unteachable traits at every level of his career and through each stage of the offseason. The bills' tape of one quarter of one preseason game wasn't half as bad as the 15,000 posts wailing about it suggested. You pretend that your kin didn't absolutely take over and destroy the quality of the board over that steelers game. You are a complete midwit of the most miserable variety.

ngbills Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Just trying to keep it real. I think Kincaid will be a solid TE. He is never going to be the complete block and catch TE but will be more of Engram TE. But many are talking like he was Lebron James. Reality is he started focusing on football late. He went to University of San Diego (not SD State) because he was not recruited and only played in one game as a Freshman. Sophomore year he played in 4 games. This was at a really small school. He then transferred to Utah which was a big upgrade. As a Junior he played in 5 games and had one catch. Then in his Senior year played 14 games with 36 catches. That was his first legit good year. Based on this he stuck around for a 5th year senior season and exploded which is what got him drafted. The hype is mostly based on this one big season, not years of him being the next Kelce. All this said he has potential to be a good TE. I like the pick. I have wanted a legit TE receiving threat for years. But lets slow down the talk of him being a sure thing, his 3 easy preseason catches show is all world unique game altering skills, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also be watching closely how and what his usage is. How often Josh looks for him when there's a big moment in the game or if a play breaks down and Kincaid has to improvise. I don't care about his blocking as much. That's not what he's here for IMO. I'm also interested to see how he responds to his "welcome to the NFL" moment or moments. Will it drive him to get better or make him question his self confidence?

I don't recall anyone calling any great receiver "smooth." Maybe Jerry Rice was smooth, but since then, who's smooth? Diggs? Debo Samuel? Kelce? Kelce is smooth. That is who Kincaid's movement and understanding of leverage reminds me of. A big part of Kelce's greatness is that he and Mahomes are always on the same page. We know how good the offense looked when Allen and Beasley were always on the same page. Now add 8 inches and 65 pounds to that player. I think the kid is a natural football player. The main knock on him I've seen is that most TEs take a year or two to acclimate to the pros. I just think he is an exception. For someone that started playing football later in life he has elite instincts as far as making himself available to his QB. His ability to find the gap in zone coverage, catch the ball, then immediately turn his hips and start running in the most efficient direction while still securing the catch is something I've only ever seen from Kelce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the second DK on the team to Knox Then the DK2 semi-automatic is the natural progression for the no=huddles that Dorsey should be implementing because of Kincaid mismatches.

Yeah his next test will be facing off against slot CBs and safeties, and that is how teams are going to defend him. The nice thing is if we're in 12 personnel and the opponent puts a slot CB out there that gives us an advantage in the run game. And I think Kincaid's hip fluidity will still give him a good chance to break open against DBs. Biggest thing I want to see is how he fares when jammed at the line, it's the one lingering question about his game. Having two high level TEs is a cheat code, especially when their skill sets complement each other as well as Kincaid and Knox. It's exceedingly rare for teams to find that kind of ideal combination. I am sure the advantages of that system will far outweigh any kinks Kincaid has to work out of his game in his rookie year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
