Knox has taken more snaps out of the backfield this season than he has as an in-line TE. Daboll has completely changed how he is using the TEs.

Expand Funny thing about that play. It was coming back cause of a McKenzie hold anyways, but because of the fumble, the penalty was declined and the yards counted on Josh’s stats. 1

Thanks for digging this up. I honestly thought there was no footage of this play because off the power outage. Great play! Bummer that is was wasted with the fumble. 1

Not sure if it was as much as Knox, but he was in that role. @Hapless Bills Fan I quickly reviewed the Cover 1 film and you can see at least 2 plays with Kroft at the HB position (43:00 minutes and 53:00 both - long pass to Diggs and TD to Brown). I would assume the play before (mis-read with Brown) Kroft was also in at HB. Other plays they were in 10 personnel with no TE at all. Edited September 25, 2020 by Rochesterfan 1

Last year I felt Kroft was too slow and his footwork too sluggish for this, but he was working his way back from injury so perhaps this year he is back "on form"!

Some might argue the ratios, and truly they are to be determined this season. TE is one position where I had fervently wished we'd upgraded this season. Well, RB as well - I had hopes for Moss, we'll see. 1

Expand Agreed 💯 Seems like we completely ignore a position of need every year. Last year it was LB. I was shocked when Vosean (udfa Dotson) were the only additions. That goes for TE this year with Gilliam being the only addition. There’s only enough draft picks and cap room to go around, maybe Gilliams will be a diamond in the rough. regarding moss, ugh. Not what I had expected. MossMode looked more like MiniMopedMode. He looks small out there for someone that’s supposed to bruise defenses. Reminds me of a younger Frank Gore, more specifically 34 year old Frank Gore

Expand He's never had a 100 yard game but any thing is possible. The fact that he's never had a 100 yard season makes it seem a bit improbable. But if you look at his season stats and think of them as game logs and his career numbers as one season, he looks like a serviceable TE.
