If he can play Hback/FB/TE3 they can roll with Knox and Morris (who earned the TE2 spot fair and square imo) and potentially keep 7 WR. There is no reason to keep Howard on name alone or because they gave him too much money. Take the lumps on the cap side, not the field. Expand Right, and it’s not like Sweeney is a great blocker. Morris and Gilliam can play formations and are better blockers than Sweeney. 1 Quote

I liked the Howard pick up as a low risk, high reward offensive piece and I am really disappointed it has failed. In terms of passing targets for Josh it is really Sanders and Beasley out, Crowder (low ceiling vet), Shakir (5th round rookie) and Cook (2nd round rookie receiving back) in. Have they done enough?

DCofNC Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Guess this explains why Howard couldn’t land a deal with a team he wanted to play for in the first place. I’m kinda surprised he didn’t have much to offer, but he really looks washed. Quote

YoloinOhio Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 On 8/30/2022 at 12:41 PM, No_Matter_What said: Didn't Dorsey say exactly the opposite? That he is just FB in his offense? I might have misread something. That's all good Yolo. If he sucks I am fine with keeping better players. I just think this is a huge huge miss on Beane's part. $3M dead cap is a lot for a player without a snap for the Bills. I know nobody sees the future and I will keep assessing Beane based on his overall work but this one hurts. More than any of his moves in recent memory. Expand I don’t know what Dorsey said but he was lining up at TE, which he has in the past as well Quote

Only time will tell but it is a legit question to ask. Expand As I said upthread I was really looking forward to that 12 personnel mismatch. That 11th player on the field really should be your chess piece and thought Howard was going to do that. I still think they have some nice mismatch pieces. McKenzie for his speed out of the slot. I think Cook would be a good mismatch in 2 RB sets. It would just have been nice to have a mismatch with double TEs. EDIT: Oh and I like the mismatch Davis gives if they bump him inside to the slot and put Shakir outside. Edited August 30, 2022 by Wayne Cubed 1 1 Quote

We invested with two rookies that seem to be solid pickups, and a savvy vet WR in Crowder in case McKenzie isn't up to snuff. I'm really not worried. 2 1 Quote
