maybe he could be less of a pu$$y and not fall down before contact or one-arm contested jump balls, oh and run a screen for once. Sammy is a giant fraidy cat, thats the problem,hes lucky he has tight wad throwing deep balls on target to him, or his numbers would be complete ****.

this ONE play is so over done, he caught the ball simultaneously when the 2 defenders arrive, he ducks under per the norm and when both idiots miss him, he has a clear shot to the endzone, so ya you missed something, its called the other 100 plays where he drops it or gets tackled before contact.

 

Would love to see you play football at the NFL level with injured ribs or a broken foot. Your ridiculous takes on Sammy are tired, inaccurate, and nonsensical.

Good to know that your track record of always being wrong about Watkins is intact :lol:

 

Literally always.

 

It's almost as if you're joking, because it's nigh impossible to believe that you could be as off-target about him as you are in 100% of your posts about him.

He HAS to be playing at this; there's just no way he's serious.

 

I've been convinced since the discussion about how Sammy has a drop issue and won't go over the middle, during which his take was thoroughly debunked with hard stats, and yet there was zero acknowledgement

Thomas Davis played lights out in the SB two weeks after breaking his arm.

Jim Kelly played a game or three with broken ribs, sprained knee, concussion, drunk, etc back when you could actually tackle a QB.

Plenty of players have done some stupid but tough stuff to stay on the field.

Sammy to this point doesn't Seem to be tough.

Wanna be wrong but it's on him not those of us who see a pattern

He played most of the 2015 season with the foot issue

Yes, all WRs are supposed to be bulldozers...

Apparently a foot injury shouldn't hamper football players, especially wide receivers...

He's played through injury, so I'm not sure how people continue to question his toughness.

Sammy needs to stay healthy....period

 

The rest of it will take care of itself

But some people aren't happy unless he's also a human battering ram.

#Bills really working screen game with WRs, especially Sammy Watkins... something I think we've all been asking for.

 

 

I would call this the #1 challenge besides injury, of course. We need the receivers (all of them) to get the ball in short to intermediate space. It's been sorely missing from the passing game.

Don't ask Sammy Watkins how his foot is feeling. He's done talking and ready to play in a contract year.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/08/03/sammy-watkins-buffalo-bills-foot-surgery-contract-option

 

Last season was the most trying one for Watkins. He was determined not to be held back by the offseason foot surgery, so he was sprinting on the training-camp field just four months later. He played the first two regular-season games, but then was placed on short-term IR because of lingering soreness in the foot. It was only after Watkins returned in November, after an eight-game absence, that Lynn revealed to the media that the receiver was still dealing with a broken bone. He was limping through walk-throughs. He could only run a certain portion of the route tree. At one point, he was wearing linemen’s cleats to practice, desperate to find anything even slightly more comfortable.

 

Some around Watkins urged him to just go ahead and get the surgery, but he was determined to play out the season. The fact that he was still the best receiver on the team—in Week 16 against the Dolphins he racked up 154 receiving yards—masked the mental and physical strain.

 

“It was incredibly difficult,” Incognito says. “All through the offseason, there were lingering questions: Would he be ready for camp? He was battling that. Then we got into the season and the foot wasn’t where it needed to be. It was really a whole gamut of emotions. I felt—as a competitor, as a teammate, as a friend—frustrated for him. You see the frustration because he just wants to be out there with us. I think it speaks to the man that he is and what a great competitor he is because he could’ve just put it on the shelf in 2016. … But he went through the pain and he labored through just to be out there those last couple games.”
