Elite Slot WR Kincaid.

You don't think Kincaid can make a simple downfield play like this? I have no idea why we've relegated him to 5 yards or less check downs.

 

Here's a crazy (awful) stat:

 

Does Dorsey actually know how to use 12 personnel? Or is he just using it because he feels obligated? We paid one TE $13 million a year and used a 1st + 4th rounder on another. Why can't Dorsey get them more involved?

 

He’s just so SMOOTH with the ball.

He is though! But when every catch is no more than 5 yards past the LOS, none of his skill set is going to shine through. He has made a few rookie mistakes but that doesn't mean he should be an afterthought in every game plan. At Utah he was running seam routes, verticals along the sideline, crossing routes. Where is all that stuff in his route tree here? It's not like we have a plethora of superstars stealing his targets. It's Diggs and a bunch of nobodies. He can't run the route that Knox did on his 3rd down dropped pass today? I just don't understand his usage at all.

It might be extreme but:

 

Like I understand the feeling, because it feels like this offense has the weapons to be way more effective than it is. But it's like it's slamming it's head against the wall over and over again. Like make this make sense to me how aren't you able to find ways to get guys open?

You ain’t lying.  He’s making some strides but today he took a step backwards.   
 

I just don’t understand the lack of Kincaid option routes and overall usage within the offense.  Yet we get to watch Knox NOT come down with pass after pass.

I can't imagine that when Beane used a 1st + a 4th on a player, he envisioned him as nothing more than a 3 yard outlet. It just doesn't feel like Dorsey ever does anything creative to take advantage of his players' skill sets. It's very much a "line up and beat your man" offense, and NFL defenses have gotten way too advanced for that to be the only club in your bag.

You give Reid or Shanahan our exact offensive players, I guarantee you they'd make this unit more explosive that what Ken dials up.  Dorsey's inconsistent games is becoming a real problem.

Hey now, Harty is fast and Dorsey runs him around behind the line scrimmage.

[BillMafia716ix]

We still haven’t figured out the slot position post Cole Beasley. Kincaid looks the part but he needs more opportunities to make plays. Harty was given a 2yr contract and I expected he would have a larger role on offense. I have no idea what they’re doing with Khalil Shakir and Sherfield.

Any reason to think Kincaid isn’t a better version of Tommy Sweeney in this offense so far?

 

 

Yes, there absolutely is.

 

We're five games in. We still don't have any idea what he is. 

 

This is a dumb thread. If it had been a couple of years it would have made some sense.

 

Frickin' Tony Gonzalez put up fewer yards in his first five games than Kincaid has, and equalled Kincaid's zero TDs. Am I saying Kincaid is Gonzalez? No, though some feeb would probably accuse me of doing so if I hadn't put this sentence in. I'm saying the first five weeks mean squat.

The questions was dumb, as are all questions whose answer is, "Um, obviously not. Duh." And that is indeed the answer to this stupid question.

 

That question was about as thoughtful and on point as a parent looking at his 18 month old spitting out his first word and asking, "Any reason to think this kid isn't headed for a future as a ditch digger so far?" 

 

Pure dumbage. Too early to have any idea, and it's sad that you don't get that.

 

Again, he's out-produced Tony Gonzalez's first five games.

 

And I didn't come up with "Maybe he'll be better in the future." What I came up with was closer to "Asking this early shows far more in a sad way about the guy who asked the question than it does about Kincaid."

 

Oh, and your title was even more pathetic than your post.

It does mean something. You can dismiss it. Kincaid has underwhelmed and he's under utilized by Dorsey. Five games in and Dorsey has no clue how to incorporate Kincaid into this offense. He did the same thing with Cook and Hines last year. 

 

Kincaid can be good really good. We likely won't know with Dorsey pulling the strings. That was many people's concerns when he was drafted.

As for Edmunds, I was. Everyone bright should have been. He was a very good player who priced himself out of this team.

 

But I didn't declare this year a disaster now that he was gone, either. I said it should be interesting to see how they replace him. I sure did NOT think they'd replace him so beautifully so very quickly. If he stays healthy Bernard looks like he will be a really good one.

He has been here five games. That's all that needs to be said. The fact that you don't understand this is really sad. 

 

Again, he has out-produced Tony Gonzalez in Tony's first five games. That's because the first five games, if not very good, mean absolutely nothing. With this record of production, he could have a terrible career, a Hall of Fame career, or absolutely anything in between.

 

And yeah, Moss does look good. He was never going to be used as a bell cow, the way that he apparently needs to be used. Remind me, did Moss look great when Daboll was here? Blaming Dorsey for something that as yet means absolutely nothing is just dumb.

Again, dumb.

 

Saying someone "looks like" he will be a good one after a small sample is reasonable. I didn't say he is going to be great or even good. I waffled, very deliberately, because we can't be sure yet. And yes, really good production for a short time does say more than really bad production for the same short time. Good production at least shows you have the capability of performing really well. It doesn't mean you will continue to do so, but since you've already shown you can do it, your chances of continuing to do so are better.

 

Short-term bad production might mean you're just not good enough. Or that they don't trust you enough yet. Or that you're not quite ready yet, and might take another week or two or another year or two. Or that you need another off season in a real strength program. Or that they don't want to put some of his abilities on film yet because they want to use him as a surprise in crucial games later in the season. There's a million possibilities. We don't yet know which one is correct. With Bernard we at least know he's capable of being really good for a short period of time.

Stats for TEs in their First Five Games

 

Pat Friermuth  100 yards, 1 TD

Kelce   missed his entire first year

Dallas Goddert 106 yards, 1 TD

Hockenson 187 yards, 2 TDs, significantly better, and an 8th overall pick. 

Kyle Pitts 308 yards, 1 TD, significantly better, and a 4th overall pick

Dalton Schultz  zip

Darren Waller 18 yards, 0 TDs

Mark Andrews  135 yards, 1 TD

George Kittle 166 yards, 1 TD

 

 

 

Two guys have signficantly more than Kincaid in their first five games. And they were a 4th overall pick and an 8th overall pick. Kittle is on the edge of significance, so let's give him credit also. The rest are in Kincaid's range or below.

 

You can argue that Kincaid doesn't have a TD and several of these guys do. Fair enough. And yet, Diggs admitted he stole that in week 4 from Kincaid. Kincaid was wide open in the end zone two steps to the right. He would likely have had that TD if Diggs hadn't changed his route and run to the daylight Kincaid was in.

 

Point - AGAIN - being that it's too early to understand anything, regardless of the fact that he hasn't stood out.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

5 games in and we’ve yet to anything out of Kincaid.

 

He catches the ball, so the hands part is correct.

 

But does he have any speed, or ability to truck people or agility to shake people or snap of his routes?

 

Dorsey has no imagination so this is what you’ll get. 

 

And Sal C telling everyone that it takes 3-4 years for a Tight End to get comfortable in the league. 

 

[billybob71]

Bills will prob get on a roll again because we have a great QB, but all its gonna take is one bad head scratching game plan against a good team in the playoffs and thats gonna be it... I don't think Dorsey is  good enough at this time to out scheme top DCs and Defenses when it counts. McD is doing a nice job with the D!! but he may regret his OC hire

You think Kincaid looks like a failure as a rookie?

 

Man, I was just saying his usage has been disappointing so far. That’s a little bold, even for me.

Again, dumb.

 

Saying someone "looks like" he will be a good one after a small sample is reasonable. I didn't say he is going to be great or even good. I waffled, very deliberately, because we can't be sure yet. And yes, really good production for a short time does say more than really bad production for the same short time. Good production at least shows you have the capability of performing really well. It doesn't mean you will continue to do so, but since you've already shown you can do it, your chances of continuing to do so are better.

 

Short-term bad production might mean you're just not good enough. Or that they don't trust you enough yet. Or that you're not quite ready yet, and might take another week or two or another year or two. Or that you need another off season in a real strength program. Or that they don't want to put some of his abilities on film yet because they want to use him as a surprise in crucial games later in the season. There's a million possibilities. We don't yet know which one is correct. With Bernard we at least know he's capable of being really good for a short period of time.

 

"If he stays healthy Bernard looks like he will be a really good one." Two conditionals in a short sentence. And for a reason. 

If he stays healthy Kincaid looks like he will be a really good one.

Dorsey won’t use him outside of dippy flat routes and blocking. He’s one of the worst OCs in the league 

 

Yep if they got rid of him and that POS HC this team would be Super Bowl bound just in those 2 moves alone ...

It does mean something. You can dismiss it. Kincaid has underwhelmed BECAUSE he's under utilized by Dorsey. Five games in and Dorsey has no clue how to incorporate Kincaid into this offense. He did the same thing with Cook and Hines last year. 

 

Kincaid can be good really good. We likely won't know with Dorsey pulling the strings. That was many people's concerns when he was drafted. 

 

Zac Moss looks pretty good right now.

I mean talk about inconsistency. Bernard looks to be a good one after a 5 game sample but to criticize Kincaid after a five game sample is a no no. 

TEs need targets to produce.  LBs don’t.

Stop embarrassing yourself with this childish behavior.
