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?

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.  

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 

 

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.

[Victory Formation]

Shakir

Coleman

Palmer

Samuel

Moore

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…

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.

I agree - very different players but playing a very similar role, minus the special teams.  Had Coleman continued to improve after his injury, Hollins role on the field would have been continually reduced.  He took on more than his share because Coleman hit a wall.   He is a more talented player than Hollins.  He will be expected to start living up to his draft position this year.  Who will pick up Hollins ST role is a more apt question.  It’s a big challenge for the young man but it is now or never.

“If Coleman gets up to speed”

Fair point.  Thanks.

That, to me, is a very mid WR corps.  And by mid, I mean middle of the pack in the NFL - which is very good w/ me if we're building a true top-tier defense.

 

Nowhere near the worst in the league, as has been discussed here.

 

 

[VW82]

Good signing. Now we have five WRs with vet experience / pedigree. The ridiculous part of Beane's rant was always about the depth. If two of our top four had gotten hurt at the same time, we would've been F'd. At least now we have someone proven to step in.

He had over 60 receptions with 3 different QBs last season. I’m predicting upwards of 80 this coming year.

 

Our most receptions last year was Shakir with 76. Next highest was Kincaid at 44... There's no way Moore is getting more than 80. First he has to make the team.
