The reason the Bills dressed 6 was Andre Roberts. If McKenzie can keep a handle on Punts 5 will be the number. Kickoffs can be returned by a lot of guys.
Logic Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I wonder if the Bills considered Isaac McKittrick as an alternative before re-signing McKenzie?
BigBuff423 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) He's loved being a part of the team, and that makes me happy to see a guy who has a defined role and *could* do even more want to be with this team as it continues ascent to the top of the NFL. I too think he should be given KR / PR duties given how well he did in his limited opportunities. Also, he might be a good Slot WR, quick twitch-speed option for the Offense. The Draft can add size at WR plus Davis and Hodgins are already good value sized WRs. Edit: "I" am definitively, unequivocally NOT a good Slot WR, but "HE" might be....

Really nice WR group with Diggs, Beasley, Davis, Sanders, McKenzie and Hodgins. Have to imagine they will give him the opportunity to be KR/PR?.. I don't think we know yet if Hodgins can play...... 1

I just don't know how we are expected to improve if we are just brining back all the same players. I hope he doesn't make the team, just because that means we upgraded what he could bring us in the draft. I really want an player that can stretch the field. We are running out of spots on the 51, so I thought Isiah's was a spot that could have been upgraded to bring in a guy to do it all, not just touch the ball 3 times a game. Thank you. The inconvenient truth. Everyone seems to be forgetting why we lost to the Chiefs. They said we need to improve our speed, but it's only gotten slightly worse by replacing Brown with Sanders. We need dynamic weapons to go blow for blow with Tyreek Hill. 2

With as many 4 WR sets the Bills run I am not sure if they would want to do that or not...1 injury and you are in jeopardy of not being able to run 4 WR

I want to see some speed in the RB group. But that's me. I know Hollister at TE is a long shot but at least speed is his big weapon.

McKenzie was in most of the 4 WR sets. It was Roberts who sat out.

Is it because of concussion risk, etc." Glad to see that missing hyphen didn't mean anything like that. Me too that's why I was being a smart ass and commented that.
Patrick Duffy Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: We are going to have that same worry except for a guy like Patterson.....a. rookie would also scare us there. I will take a vet that has shown he has been good for us. Yeah that's true. Hyde is definitely reliable catching the kicks, however, I would hope he's not the one doing it. Just too important to the D. Personally I was in the camp that hoped they could figure a way to keep Roberts. But kinda knew it wasn't likely. But yeah, will be one of those things that will get ya worried at times no matter the replacement unless it's a player like you mentioned that's known for it. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the off season goes. Not 100% that McK will be doing it yet either. So will see.
Success Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I can't really remember a season where we retained so many players. Except for Brown, they really kept all of the pieces together. Glad we kept McKenzie, too - he's pretty versatile, and speedy. I like how Daboll utilizes his skills (and, of course, he's an excellent returner). 1

Herc11 Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Damn I really hate this teams focus on Special Teams... I kid, I kid

Show me where Smoke made a catch in traffic.....and go back and watch how he did against man press coverage in the playoffs Sanders has an over 70 percent win rate against press man coverage 1

Mckenzie is so much better now than he was when he 1st arrived in Buffalo. Much more confident player. You can see the improvement all around as a WR. He hasn't had to return the ball much though so we'll see. In 2017 he had 21 punt returns, 3 KO returns and 3 passes caught. Those possessions accounted for 6 fumbles. I think they might have all been on the punt returns.
