Cuz that dood has been a healthy scratch through 3 games this year and was a first rounder last year....not great. EDIT: YEP THERE IS. At this point, we'd get more production out of this Elam than the dude we drafted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 This has been a long-standing issue with the coaches of this franchise. It goes back to John Rauch using OJ as a receiver. They’ve run small RBs inside the tackles, run FBs to the outside, etc. Chan Gailey was the only one to use CJ Spiller correctly. These coaches make it seem like rocket science in figuring out the best ways to use weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kornfed Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Not only are they easing Kinkaid into the offense...... The Bills are going in big time (compared to forever) on the two tight end 12 offense. I really believe Josh has to experience a bit of a change to his reads as he has mostly played multiple receiver sets as opposed to 12. ... Am I the only IQ 86 fan who realizes that the O is gunna be a work in progress for this reason?????? ..... How can this extreme point not be obvious? ...... Now ya know.

RichRiderBills Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 He's on pace for like 65 grabs as a rookie TE2 and that would make him like a top 5 all time productive rookie TE.

I’m in between on this. ”Quite a bit” - he had 4 catches. When the 2022 Bills struggled all season with finding a playmaker behind Diggs, and the answer to that was Kincaid in the 1st and turning over the bottom 3 WRs of your room, I think there should be a greater expectation than 11 catches for 76 yards. He’s not Nyheim Hines level of missing, but he’s quickly settling into this background role, and Sherfield, Harty and Shorter are nothing but afterthoughts in this offense. It’s back to Diggs and the usual 1/4 games with Davis. The only difference is more juice in the run game. I think fans are right here to look at Dorsey and say this isn’t enough production from a first round pick that Beane again traded up to get. 6.5 ypc, come on. The bar for a “Super Bowl contender” should be higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team doesn’t have a recent track record of developing offensive skill talent. Davis is still playing 95% of snaps, just like he was in 2022. That means that Shakir is stuck in an 11% snap count role and Sherfield can’t get on the field. Harty is thrown the ball right where McKenzie was - at or behind the LOS. These plays are never successful. So when you see Kincaid catching dump offs, I do think that Dorsey and this staff lack creativity, because this offense under Dorsey has shown that once you get put into a role, you can’t ever get out of it. Nyheim Hines showed this. Shakir has showed this. Cook sitting behind Singletary showed this and the idea as a pass catcher evaporating last year. Knox is $10M/year and not a prominent piece of this offense. Edited September 30, 2023 by Straight Hucklebuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not egregious but I have noticed several occasions where driving another yard or two downfield would have made a significant difference in the play outcome. Maybe he's uses to playing with college QB's that need bigger windows to squeeze throws in and this is just an adjustment period playing with Allen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense is scoring, but it doesn’t look easy and still requires Allen to be a hero half the time. Play design seems suspect. Receivers to close to one another. Too many long developing plays when f’d get constant pressure. Year two the offense shouldn’t look this disjointed at this point. It’s functioning but not as efficient as it should be.
