cage Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 where was he yesterday? This was when we needed him in "Gronk" mode...
K-9 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 He's hobbled. Still did a fine job blocking and it would help if Taylor could offer a better pass when he's open.
r00tabaga Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 They were all over him. I was at game and when he went out for routes they had blanket coverage on him. One of the few plays where he was one on one was the O'Leary catch. Other than that it was not there.
MAJBobby Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 When you don't throw the middle of the field your TE becomes invisible
Boatdrinks Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 where was he yesterday? This was when we needed him in "Gronk" mode... A. No Sammy Watkins means more attention for Clay by the defense B. Tyrod Taylor can't see/ won't use the middle of the field.
jimmy10 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Maybe Tyrod is annoyed at him for standing up the whole game. Edited September 26, 2016 by jimmy10
Peter Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I have no complaints with Charles Clay. I think he is a great team first player. He cannot help it if (for whatever reason) we continue to have trouble throwing over the middle/throwing him the ball. I also like the fact that Clay is not a diva. He has no problem doing the dirty work and has not had his agent or anyone else make demands that the Bills throw him the ball X number of times a game whether he is open or not.
Webster Guy Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Our offense and qb aren't built to utilize the TE very much. Not sure why. Having a good TE as part of your attack seems like a sensible approach, and we see a handful of other teams where the TE is winning them games, but I've given up on the "we need to get Charles Clay and Sammy involved more" stuff. After yesterday watching us roll a playoff team that has a top defense without half of our normal receivers or starting LT was eye opening. What we need to go is block and tackle well, give Tyrod time, continue to be unpredictable on defense. Powell, Woods, maybe Goodwin and Salas, Oleary-- I don't care anymore. Give TT a pocket and the ability to change plays whenever he sees fit and we will start being favored in these games more often than not.
bobobonators Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 He's been a disappointment since getting here unfortunately.
K-9 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 He's been a disappointment since getting here unfortunately. Yep, its very disappointing to see our TE running open so often while his blocking has been a key to our running success since he got here.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Clay has a lot to prove to me after 3rd and pu$$y last week. $8M/yr and that guy can't run over a DB for a first down.
ndirish1978 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 WE offered him that huge contract; dunno why it's his fault that he accepted it and we don't use him that much.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 They were all over him. I was at game and when he went out for routes they had blanket coverage on him. One of the few plays where he was one on one was the O'Leary catch. Other than that it was not there. And on that one - looked like they completely forgot about o'leary. TT did a nice job on that one, and looked off someone else to find O'leary.
Estelle Getty Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 The criticism is fair. You don't give a guy 8 mill year to be a blocking tight end and be a team player. That is what bums like Dray are for @ 2 mill a year
Mike in Horseheads Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Who needs Clay, Nick O"Leary is the man.
