As for Foster, I've been saying all along that he should have been starting opposite Brown. At worst he's a decoy to open things up for Brown and Bease.
BmarvB Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Bring him back to life and this could become a scary good offense

Yes sir! One dimension I wish we had right now- a Derrick Henry type back. 52 minutes ago, Rochesterfan said: Kroft was basically replaced by Knox. They signed Kroft because they had basically no TEs on the roster that could both block and catch. Drafting Knox gave them a TE that could do both (along with Sweeney) and then with the Kroft injuries- Knox was able to show what he could do. Running a basic 11 formation with Singletary and 3 WRs - Knox and Kroft are interchangeable and Knox is further along in the offense and slightly better. I think if the run a 1 RB and 2 TE set both Kroft and Knox make a nice combo because both can block and catch making it harder in a balanced set to know what to cover. I agree whole heartedly but wouldnt it be nice to have them a little more in a 2 TE set? 1 hour ago, BuffaloBill963 said: He did have a nice first down catch against Denver. My expectations for our tight ends are admittedly pretty low though. Mine too!

The draft hadn't happened yet. If we didn't draft Knox, Kroft would be in that role.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Got me thinking about how "Speed kills." Sorry to sidetrack... But watch how Dallas' #50, Sean Lee misjudges Allen's final burst. WHIFF! Difference between a TD and stopping a few yards short of line. Every stop is a potential goal line stand as a turnover (downs included). Made him look like total chump. I mean, 2-Time Pro Bowler, Lee has good "angle of pursuit", but Speed wins out, Allen gets ahead of the attempted would be tackler. Total whiff! 1 1

LoL... But that's what teams need. Remember Joe Fergus? Except opposite. Work in the winter. Maybe this team is starting to get the right pieces in place. Figuring out timing.

Exactly, we don't have to be compelled to use him exclusively on fly routes. He can be a very good short to medium depth receiver. I've seen mocks having us consider Jonathan Taylor in the 1st. Then turn around and get Michael Pittman in the 2nd. This offense next year could be "unBillieveable"......

Why dress Senorise when he does nodda on teams? Split Yeldon out. There must be something they don’t like just like Duke ?♂️
muppy Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 If y’all recall there were some folks last year whom envisioned a scenario that Foster could be a #1 type receiver in buffalo. Then his injury concerns have kept he out of the loop so far. If his health is truly back he adds that stretch the defense weapon as bookend to Smoke Brown as has been stated there will be someone single covered and I really like the possibilities. 2
HappyDays Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 I really like how Daboll uses both Foster and McKenzie. It took a season and a half but McDermott and Daboll finally figured out that speed is the most dangerous ability in the modern NFL. Really the whole offense has opened up ever since we got rid of Zay Jones. Every receiver on the field puts stress on the defense and it shows.
bmur66 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) I don’t put much faith in him. 12 games in. Where the heck has he been all year? Edited November 30, 2019 by bmur66
MDH Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 1 hour ago, SCBills said: Cowboys fans are questioning their defensive scheme as to not doubling/bracketing Cole Beasley If they had done that they’d be questioning why they didn’t bracket Brown. Aside from Allen’s play these past few weeks the best thing I’ve seen from the Bills is that if teams take away Brown the Bills have a legitimate threat somewhere else in Beasley. 2

He may make a play that wins a game (or even a playoff game). His speed is elite and adds an element to the Bills offense. He has more “football speed” than smoke- not sure what each 40 times are. 1
