Knox has the potential to have a big pass catching day against the Seahawks. * The Bills need to know if Knox is a star at TE. They can't find this out if he doesn't play. If Knox doesn't pan out the Bills will have to address the TE position in free agency. If he does pan out they can use the TE free agency spot to fix some glaring needs on defense. Fair and good points

Can play some snaps like the patriots did with develin/burkhead/gronk - spread them out wide and pick your favorite matchups. Basically forces them to play man, or show blitz. I liked the DS/Moss on the field at the same time sets too. NE barely played man and didn’t blitz much either. The new anti Josh defense is soft zone. Josh can beat you over the top and find guys who beat their man. What we learned from the lest few weeks of defense scheming is he isn’t quite at surgical zone beater just yet, which is the final evolution and the bills are just learning how to run the ball and beat the zone underneath.

I'm very excited to see his second half of the year. Dude just needs to get on the field. Everyone is going to drop some during the season. Still, I hope they allowed a Jugs machine with him in isolation. Nothing else to do! 1
billsfan89 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Hopefully he can make a play or two out there

I could even see giving him handoffs like patsies used the killer... Good idea. We need his physicality!

We’ve been saying that he’s going to be a stud since he’s been drafted , for every great catch/ play he makes there’s ALWAYS that one easy catch that he drops where it should have been a big play ,

I feel like a team isn't going to be able to play a soft zone in a heavier set like that. And if you split TEs and RBs out wide, they'll likely man up as it's unexpected.
DCofNC Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 19 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Here's the thing though: If asked to list the best skill players on the Bills offense, how do you rank these guys? Diggs Brown Beasley Singletary Moss Davis McKensie Kroft Knox If you're running 2 TEs, it means someone else is seated. The WRs are fine in that order and nobody else is really missed in terms of big play ability, so it’s all moot.

The point is if you want to run a 2 TE set, who gets a seat? Are you going to go 0-2 with your RB on the bench? or are you going to go 1-2 with Beas or Brown on the bench?
Charles Romes Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Kroft has been unspectacular but steady 1

Are you going to go 0-2 with your RB on the bench? or are you going to go 1-2 with Beas or Brown on the bench? You don’t have to bench that many, 5 linemen, QB = 6, 5 skill positions left. 2 TE, 2 WR, Rb. Or Spread it out 2TE, 3 WR. Or power football 2 TE, 2 RB and a WR. There are plenty of options. You act as if everyone on this team is a difference maker. The only real talent at the skill position is at WR. The only game breakers are Diggs (who’s really more of the steady contribution guy), Brown and Knox. Nobody else is a threat for chunk yardage. 1 hour ago, Charles Romes said: Kroft has been unspectacular but steady He has been solid to slightly above average, just what we had hoped to see when he signed here. His biggest issue has been availability. For a small stretch here, he’s been healthy and playing well.

Honestly, he can take a look at what Wilson is going to do to our zone this week and hopefully duplicate that.
