The reemergence of Gabriel Davis??

[Special K]

With the Knox injury, I believe Davis will be the recipient of increased playing time, and be expected to pick up the slack for the loss of Knox’s production. I believe Davis is more than capable of helping to keep this offense performing at a high level while Knox is out, and I predict a few big games for Davis in the coming weeks.....who’s with me??

I mean if Knox has been playing in the slot Beasley would probably have a resurgence either way one less top target is an opportunity for the back end guys.

[Joe Ferguson]

Jake Kumerow will play TE.

[LeGOATski]

I expect the Bills to plug in Sweeney and not change too much. They're kinda stubborn in that way.

See Kumerow stepping in to that roll for sure.

 

Be kinda cool if he excels so we have 2 viable NFL TE’s.

This, ^^^
 

This is pretty likely, that and remember, Sweeney has good hands as a receiver, (TD in the last game) he’s not Knox athletic wise, but he’s not as big a liability as some may think, jmo

[billsfan89]

They probably will use more 4 wide but I still expect them to try and run their offense with Sweeney. But I do see Davis getting more snaps and targets, the Bills would be foolish not to adjust their gameplan to feature him more and the TE less.

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

Think it will be a little of all of the above, more Davis going 4 wide, and Kumerow and Sweeney as the TE.

 

If one works heads and shoulders better than the other options, may see more of that, but again will depend on opponent too.

I think Kumerow and Davis will be in the mix - Sweeny may get more reps too as he was starting to see some playing time.

 

Will be interesting to see who they keep active each game - the Bills are deep enough at receiver that they have options that they can leverage to fill in for Knox. Sucks a bit in regards to the chemistry Allen was building with him, but we should get Knox back for the stretch run and gives some other guys on the bench a chance to showcase what they can bring.

I agree. For a couple of games the 4WR set will be our best offense. Maybe even some two back setsand throw to the running backs.  Sweeney has shown nothing and neither has Gilliam. The less they are on the field the better.

was thinking the exact same thing. The Knox injury is a blessing in disguise, giving Davis more snaps and hopefully allowing us to get more production out of the 4-WR sets. 

[John from Riverside]

I’m expecting this actually I think that a lot of places that would’ve gone to Gabe Davis ended up going to Knox because they rewarding him for better play

 

[Scott7975]

Possibly.  We are on a stretch of games where I think they can test some offensive stuff out and tune up for the playoffs.

I doubt it...there is no way he will be able to handle his blocking assignments.

I could see this injury as an opportunity for Daboll to use some interesting personnel alignments. Some that could be useful over the next couple of weeks with Knox out and then used later in the year to catch teams off guard.

Do people not realize that Gabriel Davis is a WR and not a TE?

Yes but Sweeney is not Knox.  Knox being out could mean different personal on the field more often.

I was assuming that we are all knowledgeable enough about the Bills to understand that the switch from Knox to Davis would mean a switch from 3 WR to 4 WR formations to not need to mention it.

Couldn't agree more,  I hate seeing Gabe's talents rot on the sideline.
