Could the Bills be trying to turn back the clock to it's 2020 offense?

The Bills need some zone busters. They're facing a lot of zone coverages because of Allen's running ability, but they don't really have anyone you can routinely get open vs zones except for Diggs. They brought in Crowder for this but he got hurt.  Beasley from 2020 would be able to help, but I'm not sure about today's version.

Desperation. Not a good sign. 

 

Nothing wrong with seeing what sticks at this point in the season. But to your point, the issue is taking a step back and recognizing all the personnel mistakes that were made across the offense in the off-season and including a weak draft.

I'm hoping the Bills get lucky and either Smoke or Beasley plays like the Smoke or Beasley of old.  We need more guys who can find ways to get open.  And then actually catch the ball.

 

While my hope is that one of them shines, my expectation is that they both become capable backups.  I wouldn't be terribly surprised if one or both of them struggles to achieve even that.  They were both unemployed for a reason.

I agree there is a bit of desperation. I would have rather Shakir broke out as a good to great WR than resign these old guys.

 

It's an admission of drafting failure IMO.

So would the Bills brass - and Josh Allen. It could still happen for Shakir, but the Bills are on the Super Bowl express and can’t afford to be patient with rookies. Some guys take more than a half season to break out. I’m glad they’re able to see that some things aren’t working as planned and can bring guys in that Josh is familiar with. The NFL rules on PS callups help as well , as a lot of these decisions come down to money- not just performance. Veteran help can be a valuable thing for a playoff run.

It's not just on offense. We brought back Phillips and Lawson also, basically going back and undoing a bunch of questionable roster moves after 2020. 

A lot of these moves are cap driven- guys went for big paydays elsewhere. Totally understandable, but in getting their greenbacks they also found the grass isn’t always greener elsewhere. I think it speaks volumes to what Beane and McD have built here.
