Cole Beasley tweets

Is he wrong?

 

 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Nope, he would not be wrong. 

[BarleyNY]

I sure hope so. 

[Augie]

Does he share a secret handshake with TO? 

 

It would cost millions to prove him wrong, so I’ll just ignore him.

Beasley pointing out the EXACT reason WR is the biggest need on this team. 

[That's No Moon]

I'm glad he believes that. I also think we are going to see a lot fewer 3wr sets this year.

Are you expecting 12 personnel? 

[The Jokeman]

Had Jamison Crowder not going to hurt it's debatable.

A lot of it. Knox will split out a ton but I expect to see a ton of two TE sets and I'd be thrilled if the Bills got that tank from Georgia to be the second TE

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Who even is the projected slot this year, Hardy?

[John from Riverside]

I do like that kind of confidence

[Yantha]

Cole Beasley is a POS.

 

Never liked him.

[RichRiderBills]

Beasley had like 82 catches the year before and had injuries. I honestly think he's still in a value zone.

He wasn't even the best Slot WR on the team last year. Khalil Shakir just had the McDermott Rookie Training Wheels on. And all one has to do is look at Deonte Harty's explosive playmaking ability and explosiveness in 2021, before he got lost for the year at the beginning of 2022, to know that this take is completely laughable.

 

He was better than Isaiah McKenzie was last season. But Harty and Shakir? Nope. If the Bills brought Cole back, he'd be on the Practice Squad and only activated if there were an injury to Harty or Shakir.

I live near Athens. Big fan of Darnell Washington. There is a report out there apparently that a number of teams have dropped him off their draft board for medical reasons. I am skeptical. Timing suggests someone is hoping he drops to them.

Expanding on my answer, of you have 2 TEs that can catch and run and also block a little it's a matchup nightmare for the defense. The extra TEs dictate more LBs but then they also need to be able to cover. You can have a TON of play calling flexibility without substitutions so you can trap personnel groups on the field.

Loved Cole while he was here.    The tweet may be right.   That said, the fact that both he and John Brown played snaps for the Bills in 2023 is all you need to know about the Bills wideout room.  Time for an upgrade in their 20s

Yep. Some folks on this board don't believe Dorsey will employ 12 personnel. Don't see how anyone can know that. We haven't had two really good TEs on the team to make it feasible. 12 personnel should also be particularly effective in the RZ where the Bills struggled last year. Dorsey was predictable and Josh had a lot of turnovers in the RZ where he had previously been stellar, so I hope it happens.

If we ever need someone to catch the ball 4 yards downfield and then fall down before getting tackled Beane will be sure to give him a call

I think some of you grossly underestimate how big of a change that would be.  NFL Offensive Coordinators are not known for just scrapping their entire offensive style and moving to a totally different offense design in an off season.  Usually the team just fires the OC and then goes and hires the OC that runs the system they want to change to who has proven success running that style of offense.

 

If we had a good 2nd TE, would we incorporate some more 2 TE sets...sure...but to expect its going to be a main focal point is a bit unrealistic.  

 

And I will point this out again to everyone so keen on running a heavy dose of 12 personnel...no team has ever won the SB building its offense off 12 personnel and 2 TE sets.
