3rdand12 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yeah with all due respect to Donald Jones...........what the Bills MOST need is the only kind of receiver they could realistically hope to get immediate results from.........a burner who can run away from CB's on a nine or deep post route. yep. and make K Clay go far away.

I think this is over rated. You don't necessarily need a track star to go deep. K Clay got open deep vs the Falcons but misjudged the football so bad he couldn't catch it. Zay got open long vs Falcons too, but he did what he usually does on that one. You just gotta wing it out there 4 or 5 times a game with who you got IMHO. You might get lucky and the WR actually catches it or PI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I think that this is basically hogwash. These are professional athletes for kripes sake. A route tree is a route tree regardless what NFL team you have been playing for. A good QB and a good WR should be able to get their timing down with repetitions. That's what practice is for. It it shouldn't take months or years. The actual timing should take days. Rep after rep after rep. Now trust is another issue, however if a QB doesn't trust his receivers then why are the receivers on the field if the QB won't throw to them. OR If the QB is not capable of trusting his receivers (which I believe is one of TT's problems) then why is he your QB. Lol wow. Yeah it takes days to get the timing down and getting the QB-WR to be consistently productive together. Have you ever, EVER heard either a pro QB or pro WR say that? If so, please provide some evidence. Have you been actually watching football or just pretending to do so on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 always listen to experienced players. forget what Jack Buck and these commercial hawking hackers say.. for example, listen to Tony Romo, he is calling guys out during the game in real time --- he sees instantly who excelled and who screwed up // its great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players track the ball well on deep routes........others do not. It probably doesn't matter how fast Clay is if he can't adjust and make a play on the football. One of the things you need to be good on the deep ball is the ability to accelerate to the football and Clay has not shown that extra gear at all. We had this discussion in the offseason.........Watkins isn't the fastest 40 yard dash runner around but he is great at tracking the deep ball, bumping it up a gear to accelerate to-and-thru the football and catching it in stride(a ton of fast guys have to leave their feet to catch a long throw). And with the ball in his hands he can take it to the house at 21 mph........which is about as fast as anyone in pads. He's absolutely remarkable at the thing that Tyrod does best(and Goff does the worst). That over the shoulder catch on Thursday night a couple weeks ago is actually one that very, very few can make.
