Bob Lablaw Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I know Moulds can't catch a ball that lands 10 feet in front of him, but could part of JPs problem be that the Bills' receivers are not that good. The Bills have NO tight end. The coaching staff thinks so little of McGahee's hands that he's out on 3rd downs. Moulds never had soft hands, and maybe his speed is on the decline. Evans played well last year, but now that teams know about him, is he a little easier to handle? Just play a safety over the top and the deep routes are gone. That Reed is the Bills No. 1 WR says something about how bad the Bills WRs might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Moulds looks very slow and probably won't be here next year ( 9-10 Mil cap hit ). He's not getting seperation in single coverage. I see the Safety cheating towards Evans most of the time. Another problem is Campbell has been open in the flat many times in all the games. Losman can't find him.

stuckincincy Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 If Moulds and Evans ever figure out that it's not business as usual and would move their fannies back into a rookie qb's field of view, they might have a few more catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Keep throwing the 5 yarders to Josh Reed. It still moves the chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Are you asking them to play behind the line of scrimmage or on the roof of the Alamo Dome? 466236[/snapback] No. An NFL vet receiver has to understand what's what, and when you have a raw kid flinging, you have an obligation - if only to get you contract incentive cash - to use your experience and judgement to break patterns and help the young snot out when possible. Frankly, I'd prefer a Haddad over a Moulds at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Amen to that. Haddad was a great young and "wanting to prove himself" receiver. I think he'd be leading the team in recieving right now if not for being so undeservedly cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'd be the best receiver on the Bills. Don't fall in love with stats he gathered against a bunch of other guys who got cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a rhetorical exercise. Bills play opponents who can easily pinpoint the weakness in the offense and have exploited it rather well.

Moulds is way on the south side of a good career. In his best season, he had 10 TDs. Since he's started, he averaged 6 TDs per season. He averages about 900 yards and 70 catches per season- hardly spectacular- but certainly better than average. Evans had a good rookie campaign that may have benefitted from teams not knowing what to expect from him. The guys you tout as being the subject of such adoration are thus: a guy who barely made the team, a good veteran who has lost a step, and a guy who had a good rookie campaign but hasn't done anything this season. And in any event, everyone agrees that the Bills have no TE and don't believe in throwing to the RB (or the RBs can't catch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your good OL and QB will make miracle men out of any receiver or back with two working legs. Your good DL and LB's will make the db's masters of theft. Your punter keeps your fanny in the game. The Bills used to appreciate such and were successful. Miserable business management these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
