I get that he could offer some great returns. So can other guys. Some people on Twitter are jumping up and down like we just signed Dante Hall back when he used to throw up the X. Good point, I'll have to go back and look at those numbers. Shortening the field for your young QB is always good. Roberts is a Pro Bowl and All Pro caliber return man. Why so serious?

Regardless of the teams he showed the ability to sway the tide in more than one game. That’s an asset. Sure it's an asset. Did you miss where I acknowledged it as an upgrade or an improvement? I'm simply stating I don't think it's as much of a leg up as many ppl here seem to think it will bring this team. I hope I'm wrong. I just don't see myself watching the Bills winning football games next year because of this guy. Temper expectations

c-troop Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I wonder how many of andre roberts punt returns ended in FG's... Special Teams Hidden Yardage is key for so many FG's and short field TD's Another great get from the beanster! ?

That’s the difference between sitting at home at 7-9 or 8-8 or playing in mid January at 10-6 or 9-7.

But on the list of things that is potentially the reason the bills lost or won two games, it is near the bottom. There are many, many more important aspects of the game that could be difference makers in tight games. Could this be one? Sure. But the few additional yards that guy is getting us probably won't be the reason we make or miss the playoffs. I'm.not knocking the signing, as much as you might try to portray these comments in that narrative. All im highlighting is the thought that I don't think the excitement over this signing is as warranted as many people are making it to be. The ST coach and surrounding cast are equally, if not more, important than who is carrying the rock.

Unfortunately no other Jets returned punts last year so it's hard to have some perspective as to how much of his production was based on his talent vs. surrounding cast and scheme. The Bills' return men averaged between 5-8 yards per return on punt returns in 2018, regardless of who was carrying the ball. To me, it wasn't necessarily a lack of talent that was pinching those numbers.
SCBills Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I have to think we’re done at WR unless Zay is shopped in a trade. Foster - Brown - Beasley - Zay Roberts Duke - McKenzie We either keep 7 or McKenzie and Duke fight to the death for a roster spot.
Inigo Montoya Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) 38 minutes ago, Logic said: I think Roberts' addition makes the drafting of an early round WR pretty unlikely. Foster Brown Beasley Jones McKenzie Williams Roberts That's already 1 more WR than the Bills can keep. Roberts is probably just about assured a roster spot due to his KR abilities. Bills rarely carry more than 6 WRs on a roster. So that leaves 5 spots. Just not sure where a draftee fits in UNLESS they plan on trading/releasing Zay Jones. I think Duke Williams stays because he is the only "big" receiver and may carve out a niche as the red-zone-go-up-and-get-it guy. I think McKenzie will be the odd man out and Ray Ray would be next on the chopping block. Edited March 14, 2019 by Inigo Montoya 1
