So we have 6 receivers on the roster all 6’ 1” or under.  In fact we only have two receivers over 6’ 1” and that Shavers and the 7th round rookie.  This is going to be fun to watch…aim small miss small Josh. 

Keon Coleman shrunk?

Yes.  What if we get 6-7 of our guys those same stats?  

 

Moore

Palmer

Shakir

Coleman

Kincaid 

 

Can all hit that easy.  

I asked earlier in the WR thread and earlier in this thread, how would the Beane critics feel if Coleman, Kincaid, Palmer and Shakir all had 800 yards next season.  Would that still be the worst WR group in the NFL?   

 

 

[TheWeatherMan]

He’s listed as 6’ 1” on the Bills website 

 

Edit: 6’ 4”, I’m blind

Man, remember those teams when it was like Week 12?
 We were usually 5-7 and still mathematically alive….but the dudes they had to trot out onto the field when the starter got injured were just so bad. 

So true. We’d be like, “maybe Naaman Roosevelt will be able to step right in?!”

Elijah Moore stats in 2025-25:

54 rec. 678 yards and 5 TDs.

Are you okay with that?

One player on this team had that many catches last season, one had that many yards, and none had that many TDs.  That would be a brilliant signing if Moore were to post a stat line like that.

I like the signing.

 

(The worst part of the Beane radio interview was the fact that he kind of blamed Josh’s contract………. meanwhile, Josh thinks he did the Bills a favor. That’s a bit of a disconnect and that’s a bit tricky.)

He’s right though. If you are going to pay Josh and Shakir and Benford and Bernard and Oliver and Dawkins etc it can limit what else you can add. It’s why the Niners had to trade Deebo Samuel and gut their roster, becuase they have pay the QB. It’s why the Chiefs had to trade Tyreek Hill and lose free agents every year. I didn’t take it as blaming Josh’s contract really. He’s saying you can’t have everything when you are paying a qb the way they are, and he is right.

On 97 targets?  That's terrible efficiency.

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.

Make the team?  Do you just rattle off frivolous , silly comments like that?. On a one year hometown deal with an opportunity to ride the greatness of Josh to a multi year deal somewhere, he’s the vertical threat on the team with experience and great motivation. He’s making the team. To me, he’s a better option than Coleman with more speed and separation. Josh spreads it around( everyone eats mentality) so Shakir will get his but I easily see Moore getting 41/2 to 5 receptions average.

To some yes.  They are too into fantasy football.  What if all 5 (inc Moore) had those stats?  Then add in what RB's, Knox etal also do.

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.  

Colemans floor is Hollins career.  8 years of play by Hollins has been quite good at times. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Jeremy White right now...

[Redblood]

Got him!

On a side note, hate that we lost Hollins

[Mister Defense]

A 2nd round pick  in the 2021 draft

 

34th player taken in that draft

 

Has played for one of the most dysfunctional offenses in the NFL since drafted.

 

4.35 speed, "roadrunner speed" as seen above. Beep, Beep! , as Steve Spagnola tries to stop him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iWvedIhWjM

 

Nice move, with big upside.

 

Beane is the man, will be the NFL executive of the year this year.

Haha, good on Jeremy. I usually like the morning show, but I also understood why Beane put them in their place.

Absolutely not, I can guarantee that.  You are waaaaayyy off...

 

It would be one of the worst groups of wide receivers to ever play in the NFL, historically awful, pathetic, dismal, and they would despise Beane even more. (Yes, that is possible somehow.)

 

And this despite the Bills' offense again being one of the best offenses in the NFL, maybe the best again, even if they break all the Bills' and NFL records they broke last year, and even if Josh wins the NFL MVP again. They will still be outraged, furious. 

 

And calling for Beane's head, of course.

 

(And a significant part of their reaction, as predicted above, is sadly not even exaggeration.)

Locks:

Coleman

Samuel

Shakir

Palmer

 

Likely:

Shenault (can return)

 

Possibly:

Moore

Virgil

 

Bubble:

The rest. 

 

Moore is a lock.

 

As for Shenault, I looked it up and Codrington played just 69 snaps on defense last year, only in the regular season, mostly in the final 2 games (and in the 2nd half of both, when the game was out of reach against the Jets and they didn't care against the Patriots).  I'd say Shenault offers more at WR and returner than Codrington offers at CB and returner.  The only thing is Shenault hasn't returned punts in his career and may have to prove he can also do it.
