Charles Clays biggest contribution to this team was looking good getting off the bus. That is my only memory of Scott Chandler, and I love it. 1
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 I’m with everyone on here re Kroft, but to give him the benefit of the doubt, you wonder if he is still slowed by his injury? I expected him to be more dynamic, and I thought he showed some of that in Cincy— so maybe he still isn’t at 100%.

But I was just looking at his stats, and he missed so many games with us— wonder what he would have looked like if healthy. His one healthy season in Miami he caught 69 balls. also, he actually seems to be doing okay in Arizona as a backup. 13 catches for 169 yards and played in every game.

Don Otreply Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 One can ask this question about several players on the offense, this comes about because of how players are used on this team, or might I say not used..... just use the guy more and he has s role on the team, kinda like Singletary, he almost has a role on this team, Duke Williams has great hands, he could have a role on the team, if they used him, our QB could have a larger role on the team if they used him better. I think you all get my point. Go Bills!!!

It is quite noticeable how many TE's at other teams make big catches and get big targets...but we just never notice/see it. I would love to be a TE focused team We have them but it is at a rate of 1 big play every 8 games.

Phil The Thrill Posted November 17, 2019 Author Posted November 17, 2019 Kroft’s contribution to the team today has been a block and a false start penalty in the redzone. That’s why I’m contemplating whether he’ll be on the team next year

But theres been a role for him this whole time. Its just that he hasn't done anything with it. Knox has been a nice surprise & has stood out from the pack because cmon, it really isn't that hard to do. All you need to do is catch a few passes & you're at the top of the list given the group we have. But Knox has been a godsend. Krofts been out there the past few games but you wouldn't even know it. And only reason we know Smith is out there is from the referee calling his name over & over again. Like others have said, I'd much rather cut back on Smith's snaps & have Sweeney play. He's got good hands & shows a bit of toughness to him. He at the very least isn't invisible out there & will make a play or 2. See what you have with him & move on from Kroft asap. This sounds more like the Sabres than the Bills. Lots of deadweight on that team. Can't think of too many bad contracts besides maybe Star. Well yes, Kroft too now.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 I'll go out on a limb here and say if the Bills knew they were going to draft Knox and Sweeney, they wouldn't have signed Kroft. Suppose you could argue the opposite then why draft a 2nd TE when you already had signed Kroft and Lee Smith. But Teams always "draft the BPA". I do think though based on what Knox has shown so far and Sweeney looked good in the pre-season, wouldn't shock me to see Kroft gone, or ideally traded. The only reason I see him back next year is they feel it's too big of a cap hit to let him go and also pay for a replacement player for him.
