Lane Meyer K12 Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 Beasley knows the offense and is a reliable target. He finds the opening and makes big catches. Hated to see him go and glad he is back. The chemistry is already there, and this can potentially be just the extra spark the O needs. It is a solid move. 2 Quote
vincec Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 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. Quote

Smart move going after 2 guys Josh has trust and familiarity with. Plus they should have a good grasp for offense already. Quote

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. Quote
dickleyjones Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 Was it desperation when gronk unretired and won a championship? If it works, it will have been a good decision. I see little downside. Quote
hondo in seattle Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 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. 1 Quote
Luka Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 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. Quote

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. 34 minutes ago, Luka said: It's not just on offense.

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. Quote
