Mr. WEO Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The article doesn't really describe at all what he and Easley actually did together, other than share some catch phrases. Anyway, the article describes Easley as "the 5th year WR out of UConn", yet doesn't even hint at the irony that the undrafted college lacrosse player is the only NFL WR in the story.

Easley was more valuable to the team as a ST'er than Hogan was as a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Barely. Easley was more valuable to the team as a ST'er than Hogan was as a WR. By what measure? 450 yards receiving, 2 TDs, 12.5 per catch (second on the team), 18 1st downs (50% of his catches). All for a 4th receiving option? What is it Easley did? Made some tackles on kick returns? Edited June 8, 2016 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 By what measure? By the measure that he's one of the better gunners in the league and Hogan's production has been minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 By the measure that he's one of the better gunners in the league and Hogan's production has been minimal. That's like saying he is one of the best stamp collectors in the league. What was the impact of his 10 tackles (3 fewer than Meeks and tied for 37th in the NFL)?

Never mind the irony in you thinking that 36 catches for 450 yards and 2 TD's is any sort of impact whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the greater impact Easley had on the team, beyond tackles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what a gunner does, right? And Hogan's production could literally be replaced by anyone. Hell Easley had half his TD's in 1 catch.

thebandit27 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Easley trained Hogan like Little Mac's trainer did in Mike Tyson's Punch Out Side note: Jim Caldwell--the HC of the Lions--looks eerily similar to Doc Louis--Mac's trainer from Mike Tyson's Punch Out Edited June 9, 2016 by thebandit27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure arguing he's more valuable than Easley is THAT good If he's said other things I didn't notice them but this seems more anti-Easley than pro-hogan here.

Augie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 So, any word on Easley and his recovery/expected return? Hoping for all the best for that guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 It's funny. WEO never had anything good to say about Hogan...until the Pats signed him. This so profoundly false that it's not worth citing the posts. Typical doc historical revision. All made up for obfuscation. Easley could sit-in the sidelines on every return coverage and the Bills would be no worse off than they were. Hogan's production can be replaced by anyone, but Easley. A decent gunner vs a #3 WR. What a battle. boom.... FC for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 No one remembers him saying he didn't put as much into last season thinking he didn't need it? "Maybe I relaxed a bit the year before when I thought I had a good year and proved myself a little bit" http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/02/23/how-chris-hogan-is-preparing-to-fight-for-his-job-with-the-bills/ This is taking Hogan's words out of context in a pretty nasty way. Anyone who doesn't think that Hogan was a dedicated Bill should have their head examined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who doesn't think that Hogan was a dedicated Bill should have their head examined. The quotes are correct enough. But it was Hogan saying he needed to up his effort. This all with his very real injury issue. I expected to see he and Tyrod get some timing in this year. Chris Hogan. How many time did we see him open enough last year and years under marrone ? Too many probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's less a comment on Easley's WR'ing prowess than Hogan's lack of it. Im not sure arguing he's more valuable than Easley is THAT good If he's said other things I didn't notice them but this seems more anti-Easley than pro-hogan here. It's not just here but elsewhere. And why be anti-Easley to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
