I just think it's funny that people are watching Rams highlights and claiming Watkins & Woods have gotten definitively better than when they were here. Woods has certainly outperformed his career numbers thus far, but Watkins has regressed (from a production standpoint) to the point that the tandem is near identical to when they were on the most run heavy team in the NFL. Also, I'm just waiting for someone to ask who this Tandem guy is... According to your stats Watkins got at least 6.5 targets per game while in Buffalo. In LA he's getting 3.78. He can't catch balls that are not thrown to him.

We have heard from our own coaching staff and Taylor hat Benjamin is a guy that can be thrown to when he’s not open. We saw none of that yesterday. And we wont as long as tyrod is qb

They were a joke organization, people were calling Goff a bust after 7 starts, and their top wr was Tavon Austin, who is 3’5”. Now they have an elite threat that defenses have to focus on every play, which opens up everything for Gurley and the other WRs. Now, we are going to have a really low 2nd and a cb who will probably walk because he’s less durable than Sammy. Awesome. Trust the process! I believe the 5th OC will be the charm for TT. We also need to spend both of our 1sts on WRs and TT will be able to finally shine. Actually, might get more bang for the buck with using them on the defensive line.

Pretty weird! On the bright side for them, it's the first time since 2014 that they both have a chance to play all 16 games. Edited November 14, 2017 by BuffaloHokie13

Only 32 passes/game and if you watch seldom throws into coverage or timing patterns. Most are safe passes. Will see how he performs when they need to produce. Edited November 14, 2017 by Billsfan1972

Sometimes players have to learn how to manage their body before they can figure out how to stay on the field. Not uncommon to see older players become MORE durable as they age. Eric Wood is a Bills example.........went from "Balsa" Wood early in his career to fairly reliable. Prime example though is Fred Taylor..........that guy could not stay on the field and finally his agents and trainer just analyzed how durable players were staying healthy.......things like cold tubbing etc.. that Taylor didn't want to do in the past...........told him he had to do these things........and suddenly became durable. Anquan Boldin was similar..........had issues early in his career.......learned how to avoid them later..........Bills really f*cked up not paying Boldin or a good veteran WR to mentor Sammy and Woods from the jump.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Rams vs. Saints should be a good one.
