I like that he's getting a shot; why not? It's not like the back end of the receiving unit has any standouts. Just don't have any real expectations. TE's have different responsibilities, and we're light on TE's who can receive or who have shown they are capable of Duke has shown. Knox is the only one maybe can do it. We have Croft who is a major unknown and Lee Smith who can't catch much Not sure I see how TE's trump Duke here

Who cares about ranting or evidence to support it ? There has been a deficiency at WR, and there still is after the newly added wideouts. The coaches made a move to see if they could get an increase in production at the position. It will be good if they are able to find it by trying a different player. Otherwise the only chance for improvement is the trade market, and the deadline looms a few weeks out. 1

But he was a second round pick, he had a great college career, he caught seven touchdowns last year, he can block. I wouldn't do it but some may. ...a very fair assessment bud....sure East Carolina competition is perhaps suspect, but the kid did catch 160 balls......if we equate collegiate competition as the sole judgment, how do guys like Jerry Rice (Mississippi Valley State), Don Beebe (Chadron State), Andre Reed (Kutztown State), FredEx (Coe College) etc get acclimated to the NFL level and make it a career?....what plagues this kid?.....OR...is the TBD hatred over the top?...
Pbomb Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Wonder what the spread will go up to now, +7 titans now I’m thinking

Before that, slow, drops, lack of seperation and effort on some plays.Given the buildup here, I expected more. But my mind is wide open. I'm rooting for him. 1

Buffalo Boy Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 6 minutes ago, The Dean said: Why would anyone (except for other CFL teams and fans) care? I wish Duke luck. While I was fairly unimpressed with him in preseason, regular season is a different animal. Hopefully he steps up. As to who is inactive in the event Duke plays I hope it isn't McKenzie. Because Zay seems to have entered “ Dead weight” territory on my team. Dead weight serves no purpose but to slow my team down...... so there’s that? 1
Bangarang Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I really hope he makes the most of this opportunity and takes Zay’s spot in the lineup.
ChattanoogaBills Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Good I was done with zay after the sideline int help helped the pats get. I want to see more awareness and fight out of my wr's. Lets go Duke!!! 2

But how either would perform in the CFL is simply not in the equation. 1
r00tabaga Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I love the physical brand of f'ball Duke brings...run Frank/Motor to his side Redzone threat obviously too- I might really, REALLY like this team soon!
Happy Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 That's all well and good that Duke is looking forward to making contact and being physical. He needs to catch, and hold onto the ball during contact; I'd imagine he's not exactly Michael Irvin at this point. IMO, Zay does have some value in the shorter routes; Daboll was inexplicably using him on longer routes, and most likely just outsmarting himself like he tends to do. Hoping for the best with Duke.
Fixxxer Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Hopefully he can step up and help this team going forward.
BuffAlone Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Honestly, how many people just Rewatched his YouTube highlights? The man can catch. look at last yrs Winnepeg game. All I saw was JA throwing to the right, while running to the left, and Duke catching everything. Great blocker. Over the middle/ red zone demon. Hope he plays up to the talent level increase.
