vincec Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Perfect to play slot My thoughts too. And on returns and other gadget plays.
Big Turk Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 My thoughts too. And on returns and other gadget plays. Put him in the backfield like GB does.with Cobb to get him matched up with a LB...god help the LB trying to cover him on a wheel route...
hondo in seattle Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I'm generally happy with the off-season. But the Harvin signing puzzles me. Why do we rent an oft-injured, oft-clueless WR when we don't have a franchise QB who can get him the ball? For a reported $6 million for 1 year? They say past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. If true, Harvin won't even crack the starting lineup. Either he'll be benched by the coaches for something dumb, or he'll get hurt, or he'll bench himself. Under the circumstances, wouldn't it have been wiser to pay Chandler his $2 mil than give Harvin his $6 mil? Now we're loaded at wideout but extremely thin at TE having also lost Lee Smith. The hiring of Rex and Roman, and the signing of Shady, all say we're building a ground-and-pound offense. Where does flaky Harvin fit in? Aren't TEs more important in ground-and-pound offense than WRs who don't like to block?

Still better than a pawn, and the board can always change in the bishops's favor later on.
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 @ESPNStatsInfo: Bills agree to 1-year deal with Percy Harvin. Bills were 31st last season in slot rec yards; 61% of Harvin's catches have been from slot.
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Excellent insight! Thanks for being a valued member of the community. I can see your winning attitude should be something we can all look forward too. Employing basic logic- if you want to ground and pound, you need a decent line. If you have an OC who likes to get TEs involved in multiple sets, you need tight ends. So, we need to sign at least 1 TE and 1 decent OL before the draft. If you want that TE to be Clay, as they have indicated, then you need MONEY in the form of CAP SPACE. Miami is freeing up space to lock him up long-term and we are still chewing it up with non-OL non-TE acquisitions. I'm happy to have Harvin, I just hop the contract is structured in such a way that it does not preclude us from getting players we need on the line. Seems to me if you can't keep the QB upright to pass to these wideouts and can't open space for Rbs (which we could NOT do last year) then you're basically buying gold-plated spinners for your car when it doesn't have an engine. did we not restructure kyle to free up space? Did we not free up over 2 million by releasing chandler? Did we not restructure shady to free up cap space? Stop acting like the bills are only signing people and not making moves like the rest of the league. Did we not get an oline coach that is one of the better teachers? Do our rookie lineman from last season have a year under their belt and are they working to improve? Do we have two TEs on our roster already with a similar skill set to clay with a fraction of the cap hit?
3rdand12 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 :cry: oh you mean Cookie! as in Charlton Chester Gilchrist? That Cookie ? She works at the sundowner That Cookie i know too bad they dont let me over there anymore since the "incident"
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 In 2011 Harvin almost had 1000 yards receiving with fat Donovan Mcnabb and rookie Christian Ponder at QB.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The Bills haven't had a good slot receiver in over 20 years. Finally! Welcome Percy!

YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Ouch, Hogan.Now I see why they wanted him so much
Solomon Grundy Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Ouch, Hogan. We sat Mike Williams because Hogan was a better special teamer. ~Doug Marrone
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 6 mil? Oof. I hope that's loaded with incentives.that is about what I expected. Interested to see the gtd $. Kenny Britt just got 7.5/yr. Eddie Royal got 5/yr.

NoSaint Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 that is about what I expected. Interested to see the gtd $. Kenny Britt just got 7.5/yr. Eddie Royal got 5/yr. Id bet between high 4s to low 5s with some incentives bht generally speaking 80 or so percent locked in, just spitballing
