CSBill Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) It was mentioned on the broadcast how the Bills are not well equipped with WRs for the situation at the end--where you need a big strong guy to wrestle some balls away. I was just thinking that before he said it, this is where we need Duke Williams. They really could have used him today. Edited December 9, 2019 by CSBill 11

And you think you’re smarter because you believe the opposite? Ok pal cool story. Duke Williams is the only wr on the roster that has shown he can go up and get the ball and be a threat over the middle. McKenzie is a waste of a roster spot. Foster should be doing what they want from McKenzie. The last play of the game is the exact play you want to run for a player like duke not small John brown. The same thing happened in the eagles game on a fourth and long. So yes the bills had a great chance to win today if duke Williams plays. 9 2
Rc2catch Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 I don’t think he should be inactive but he’s not going to be this monster game changer some are making him out to be. If our tight ends can’t body a defender and catch a ball I can’t see duke being much more effective. Duke doesn’t change much in this game today but of course that’s just my 2 cents.

Lurker Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 If nothing else, Duke would be like another TE in the run game. I just don't get why they don't think of that, given the struggles of our TEs in blocking... 1

The Duke Williams experiment will be over at the end of this season. 1
starrymessenger Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Daboll really loves him some surfs. If Duke is no good so be it, but I hope the Bills don't opt for another diminutive receiver in the upcoming draft out of deference to Daboll's scheme. Like if Shenault is there in the second and we pass I think I'll wring my own neck.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I would of liked to see him active today. I’m not a Duke guy, but felt like having a sure handed guy who could block on the edge would of been nice against Baltimore. Edited December 9, 2019 by atlbillsfan1975 2

He's not that good of a wr, yet he's gonna convert into a good blocking te without an offseason to learn the nuances?!

As good as brown and Beasley are there are things they just aren’t able to do because of their size. So yea duke Williams would have helped I’m not saying he’s an amazing talent they aren’t playing but he has a skill set for certain plays on the field and the bills are obviously lacking that. It would be great if they could rely on Knox more over the middle but he has butter hands for some reason when he is in the center of the field. 8 minutes ago, Lurker said: A couple of hot read slant patterns in the face of all the blitzing would have helped though... This. it helps josh out a lot being able to do this when teams blitz him.
transplantbillsfan Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I know people are joking about this as ridiculous, but if Daboll isn't utilizing McKenzie or Foster with those motion sweep plays consistently the way he has all season, Duke needs to be active. Allen needs a big bodied receiver who can actually catch. Knox could be that guy in the future, but he's unreliable now. Just activate him already so we have a WR who can make contested catches.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 The Mackenzie one was right between the #'s and really not discussed. That was 7 points and thus a FG would have tied the game. 1
