They have been bad on that side of the ball. They haven't built the offense yet. They inherited one then tore most of it down and are now in process of building imo. They didn't over spend or panic so we did ende up with crappy ol... but never are we in cap trouble with the players they are bringing in that don't work. Benjamin sucked but really didn't cost a lot in the bug scheme for the roll of the dice. Still the offense is mostly predicated on Allen's development Edited May 14, 2019 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing league until the last month of the season in the AFCE. Then you need to do both equally well.

It also tells me DiMarco might not be on the roster come September. I had both thoughts. With regard to the run game, someone shared a Cover1 clip of a pass play where Lee made a very good block. So they may wish to use a TE blocking in the passing game and this signing may be less run-game-centered than I thought. With regard to DiMarco...unless they've signed and drafted all these TE just to cut 'em, they have to make room somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 some folks are just wrong about Lee and what Daboll wants to run. This fills the gap Bills had at TE for calling those plays. The play book opens another chapter. Now if Knox can catch .. 4 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I had both thoughts.

But he has not been awful enough to replace yet. I think Bills want to keep a FB. moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think this might be because of his ability to be the emergency long snapper. Versatility is so process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the skill needed to be a long snapper but I'd like to see the Bills get one of their players, maybe backups, be able to long snap well so long snapper is a luxury not a need.

I noticed that quite few really don’t like this signing mainly because he’s not a big contributor in the passing game , but im sure we all remember how bad our running game was last year and I know our OL was a big reason for that , but people underestimate the importance of a good blocking TE , and how ONE good block can make a difference between a 4 yard or maybe 24 yard gain anyway my point is that 1) he can help improve our running game 2) he’s a solid vet who can help/teach Knox on his blocking skills 3) sounds like he’s a great lockeroom guy , so if he’s all that then he’s worth every penny welcome back Lee !!!! Go Bills baby !!!! i think Shaddy and the rest of our RB group probably likes this addition Edited May 14, 2019 by Putin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 17 hours ago, BillsVet said: Lee Smith's penalty to snap count ratio was always around 1:2. I'd expect it'll remain the same on go-round #2 with the Bills. Signing him to that deal says a lot about how they feel about their TE group. Don't remember him being assessed a lot of penalties. 12 calls in 56 starts as a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
