15 catches

148 yards 

1 TD

 

A third of the way through the season. Stats can be misleading but I expected more production out of this given the contract we gave him.

5-1 team

 

Only one ball to go around.

 

His time will come.

This exactly.  The offense is doing great.  The team is winning.

That is all that matters.

 

Film is showing that Dawson Knox is being used way more as a blocker this year.  

His lack of production is not due to poor play, injuries or mental issues involving his brother.

 

At some point, defenses are likely to adjust to what the Bills are doing.  That is when Ken Dorsey can switch things up, and start using the Tight End more in the passing game.  It's great to have something we can pivot to.

While people may be disappointed, that is about the going rate for an average TE in the league right now. They have become so valuable and so hard to find. I also think you'll see his production pick up here after that bye week. 

[Charles Romes]

That was a BIG TIME catch to win against KC. Value=200 yards imo

Extenuating circumstances. We’ll see next year.

This is the thing, about one ball.  Diggs is on pace to catch 140 balls, that would be at the expense of the other receivers.

I know he has had a lot of personal issues with the passing of his brother. RIP

 

However, he has not lived up to the new contract. I don't think he is an elite tight end, despite us giving him elite TE $ 

Maybe you should have your sibling die and see how long it takes you to perform at 100%.  Life happens sometimes

Buffalo doesn't target the tight end in their offense game plan, it been that way for 50 years now

It’s hard to complain but I would like to see Knox to be more involved in gameplan if we were gonna pay him. If we just wanted a blocker and a dump off fifth option guy, I would have taken the third round conditional pick.

THIS.  I would expect to see Knox be much more active in the second half of this season as teams try to gameplan around what we’ve been doing.  It’s going to happen.

Odd timing of this, considering he just had an incredible catch to beat the Chiefs.

He has missed a couple games due to injury. Let’s see how the rest of the year plays out. I am interested to see what tinkering Dorsey and the rest of the coaches did over the bye.

All of this excellent insight 328 !
 Have faith all you emotionally damaged Bills Fans (yes me too)
We are winning and looking good.

 Enjoy the ride 😍

He’s played 5 of our 6 games. He may have been playing less than 100% but he hasn’t missed that many games either.

It's his fault, his whole career he's made spectacular grabs but can't make routine plays. 

 

He's run the 8th most routes of any TE in the league. Last year he ran the 8th most routes of any TE. He gets plenty of opportunity in the passing game. He's continually poor in yards per route run (32nd this year,  22nd last year, 31st year prior)... unless we are to say Josh is to blame?

 

Just last week he pulled him arms back and gave the defense an INT instead of just catching the ball. 

 

I like Knox, i do, but he is a frustrating player. 

 

It's a long year lots of football to be played, but blows my mind how sensitive people are to any criticism of a guy that hasn't produced and recently signed a monster contract.

 

? Last week no Ints

 Good thing he's still on his rookie contract this year. At a $2.6 million cap hit this year, I would say he's well worth the money.

Was his game winning TD against the Chiefs frustrating for you to watch?
