Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)

[Low Positive]

I know these don't matter anymore, but since people here seem to believe that college highlight reels of draft prospects are a guarantee of NFL success here goes nothing:

So we now have 3 WR with actual separation ability.  Moore, Shakir and Palmer.  You know, that major ability that has eluded our WR corp for ahile now.

All of this is fine, but the way Beane came off on the show, knowing he was still searching for WR seems over the top disingenuous…

 

Again, as I said before, all he had to do was say that he is always open to upgrading the roster, and his phone is always open…this doesn’t indicate tipping his hand at all…it’s simply a vague response that leaves the door open, instead of losing control of his emotions 

Expand  

I disagree. Beane knew this guy was coming in to talk because he knows more than some dopes on the radio and fans bitching about stuff and all of the dealings that fans aren’t privy to. 
 

Media and fans that complain need to STFU and let men hired to do the job do it. If fans ran the team it would be a big a nightmare.

Moore is not an X receiver.  No way.  Coleman plays.

Exactly right.  I loved that he put those two clowns in their place.

How do you figure?

Great! Now hopefully people will stop complaining bout losing Mack Hollins lol

Mack Hollins is irreplaceable… fight me.

The Bills play positionless at WR. When are people going to realize this. Guys aren’t Xs and Zs and Fs. They move guys around based on the packages they want to play.

He's not wrong in the way that WRs have been traditionally deployed, but Joe Brady likes to move pieces around so both Shakir and Moore will line up all over the place. As will Coleman.

We just both said the same thing but you put it better because you know ball a lot better than I do.

Word is that coleman has added muscle this yr. Maybe he can be stronger on contested balls

This offense,and I said this last year, doesn't have a true "X".

 

The X receiver can be anyone at anytime.

And can you imagine him in a 3 wide spot running up the seam on a nickle back?

I think he was on hold for 2-3 minutes. That’s all it takes, at least for me.

They are very different players with different skill sets obviously.  If Coleman gets up to speed, they will not miss Hollins in the least.  

Expand  

They're vastly different players. Hollins was limited in his role but impactful in his time.

 

Coleman needs to have a bigger impact with more time. 

 

Steep hill and hard row to hoe for the young man.

Well the guy this hurts the most is Shavers. Guy went from # 5 WR and STs ace to hoping that the Bills decide to keep 6 WRs for his ST ability 

Expand  

 

So beat them all out and there wont be a problem, won't hurt him if he's good enough. Any one of these WR's other than Shakircan win those outside WR spots imo, time to earn it.

Correct. Beane recognizes that part of what will make the DL improve is competition. We need genuine competition in the WR room, too.

Now Beane seems like a fool for how he behaved on wgr…clearly he felt like he needed another receiver, yet attacked the radio hosts for suggesting as much…

 

To avoid this situation, all he had to say was that the offseason wasn’t over, and that they are always looking to upgrade…Unfortunately his emotions got the best of him…

Expand  

Needing a WR and wanting to improve your WR competition are two very different scenarios. I'd be willing to bet Mr. Coleman's job to lose is the WR spot opposite Palmer. 

[H2o]

This is depth. We have some 2's, solid Slots, and depth guys. Josh will still be Josh. Another 40+ combined TD season. Hopefully, Moore can catch a few of those. 

[HappyDays]

Watched a few "every target" videos from his time with Cleveland. Here's a game reel that gives you a good look at his pros and cons:

 

 

I like that he is getting some decent separation. He has good vertical speed. Not sure he can consistently get through physical press coverage but he can run past defenders. The one deep catch in this reel it didn't look to me like he actually stayed inbounds even though they called it a catch, but you can see the speed and the ball tracking on that play.

 

Biggest concern that jumps out is he plays small. He has no catch radius at all. Flacco sucks, that much is obvious, but I thought a couple of the incompletions here would have been caught by a more physically gifted WR. Also he isn't elusive with the ball in his hands.

 

So kind of a low margin for error WR and I think he'll have trouble breaking into the lineup over Shakir and Samuel. But there is a baseline NFL skill set there at least.
