Ronin Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I'm just curious, there's a whole lot of expectation from the offense this year that I simply can't get myself to believe will happen for a wide array of reasons the least of which include a seeming over-reliance on a rookie WR to take us to the playoffs per Whaley. Nevertheless, I'm curious how this is going to break down this year. Forget the running game for now, but I'm curious what everyone sees as the numbers that Manuel and each of his primary targets among TEs and WRs. What does everything think that each will log in terms of Catches, Yards, TDs? Watkins - rookie Woods - 2nd year WR, 40, 587, 3 as a rookie Williams - 5th year WR, has averaged 54, 738, 6 Goodwin - 2nd year WR, 17, 283, 3 as a rookie Graham - 3rd year WR, has averaged 27, 341, 1-1/2 Chandler - 5-year TE, has averaged 44, 536, 5 with the Bills over the last three seasons. No other receiver on the roster currently caught over 100 yards last year. Neither Watkins nor Williams have caught a pass from Manuel yet. Help me understand how this miracle season is going to unfold since the only upgrade has been Watkins, ... please.
John from Riverside Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Watkins......not much else needs to be said there Woods and Goodwin......the jump for MOST WR's from 1st to 2nd year is huge Williams.......not bad for a number 2 What you need to keep in mind is that we have a legit number 1 right now and a bunch of number 2's......as opposed to having a bunch of number 2's

With all due respect, I don't think you can just forget about the running game when trying to project our ability to pass this season. With the addition of Brown and Dixon, we have a beefy backup situation (more so than Taster's Choice). With that in mind, the run game will open up the passing game. See also Seahawks, 2nd year Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, 2012 and 2013.
