Shavers is playing some really good football so happy we stuck with him.

Shavers was what we wanted Coleman to be all along, he was already on our team.   He's big, fast, good hands, elite blocker and even plays special teams well.    

 

We need to use these guys more.  Same with Ty Johnson, who is faster than Cook, averages 5 yards a carry for two years now, and doesn't fumble.  Sometimes you have the guy right here on your team all along.   Fred Jackson is another example of this, took us a few years to realize he was a beast.

Not sure if this has been talked about, but I want to give huge props to Brandon Cooks on Josh’s TD. First, if Josh had any time, Cooks beat his guy clean and was open for a big play. Second, after Josh took off, Cooks continued his route so his guy would keep following him, then just stopped and blocked the dude the last 10 yards into the end zone. Great play by him 

That's what vets do.

 

Keon Coleman has to learn that stuff.

Palmer is a good blocking WR.  And we know Gabe is.  Keon could be, if he had heart 

Keon absolutely abused DBs with his blocking while in college and pissed them off in the process. He’d be blocking DBs thirty yards away from the play thru the whistle. He certainly has it in him.

He did it last season pre-injury, too.  He's a really frustrating case because I think he has genuine potential as a player but he is punting the effort and professionalism aspect HARD.

Yeah, certainly seems that way. I think it’s a question of maturity and he needs to grow up a bit. It’s all up to him.

It was a solid block for sure but I bet that corner wanted nothing to do with a 240 lbs. Josh Allen running full steam into his direction. You can tell that guy was like "Oh hell no" LOL.

on the TD pass to Shakir, I’ve seen some analysts speculate that it was going to Shavers.  I’ve watched the play over and over and the case could be made that Josh did not have enough zip on it to get it all the way to Shavers.  If you watch the play, Shakir comes into the scene late and cuts in front of Shavers. 

 

Agreed. No way that was to Shavers, although of course we can see that Shavers was open and breaking outside along the back line almost exactly into the path of Allen's throw. But Allen's infield sidearm dart was definitely driven into Shakir's chest on purpose with his immediate defender's back turned. The proximity of two more defenders was not likely a prioritized part of 17's visual processing at that precise moment. Plus a throw to Shavers would have had a few degrees more loft and you'd be able to see the difference in Allen's eyes and maybe arm angle imo.
