I’m not sure what they DIDN’T see in him. Hopefully Keon develops into a guy that makes me forget that BTJ was within reach. Jacksonville will push the plunger one of these weeks and Doug Pederson will be flushed. Who knows what will happen to his players. Travis Etienne is prolly gonzo. Coaches like their own schemes and their own guys. Maybe Thomas doesn’t develop or trajectory slows with a new system, new qb, etc. Life and football are funny. That guy could make his way to Buffalo after all. You see what I did there, it’s all a pageant here one TBD. 1 Quote

Or, even if he does bulk up, what happens to his 4.2 speed? Can he maintain that speed at a heavier weight and carrying more bulk? He’s so small, wearing shoulder pads probably slows him down a notch. Quote

folz Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) 11 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: And consider this too...Keon only had 1 catch over weeks 2 and 3 (for a TD week 3) because week 2 it was the Cook show and our offense chewed clock the 2nd half where Allen only threw for like 130 yards and week 3 where Keon was benched 1st quarter for being late and then only really played the 2nd quarter as again the offense just chewed clock second half. Not to mention, the offense had a slow start week 1 where Allen only had 2 pass attempts with around 2 min left in the first half. Had those first 3 weeks been games where we were really throwing all 4 quarters and Keon was involved in all 4 each week not having to miss one, he would be probably closer or past 25 rec and approaching 500 yards. The other thing that's crazy (kind of in relation to Alpha's post and Keon's ypc as many have mentioned) is that he is fourth in receiving yards, but with only 27 targets. The three guys ahead of him on the list have 45, 60, and 60 targets respectively (Thomas, Bowers, Nabers)---and just behind him is Marvin Harrison, Jr. and he has 43 targets. There are 8 rookie WRs with more targets than Keon and another one with the same number of targets. Of the top 10 most-targeted rookie WRs, the average number of targets is 39, Keon has 27, but is 4th in yards and tied for 4th in TDs. 1 hour ago, ghostwriter said: The more I see this kid, the more and more I love him! Agreed. And though I loved his first interview after the draft, I did worry a bit that he might be that kind of dick/diva WR type (I don't know, something about his mannerisms---I didn't really know anything about him prior to the draft). But not at all, Keon seems humble (not about his skills, but about being a good teammate, etc.) and down to Earth. His post game interview this week displayed it well. The way he answered the question about if he helped Cooper know the alert play on Cooper's TD was so respectful to Amari. He always talks great about Josh and gives his other teammates their props, etc. And everyone who played with him/coached him seem to have great things to say about him. They went a little overboard about the whole Tom Izzo thing on the broadcast, but it's just another case in point that he's just a good kid. So happy he's a Bill. Edited October 22 by folz 2 1 Quote
Thurman#1 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 9 hours ago, Savage said: Is 4th in receiving yards an accomplishment? just asking for a friend. For the eighth guy chosen? Absolutely yes. Particularly in a year when three WRs were chosen in the top nine picks. Seriously, yeah, it absolutely is. Still early, that's a fair caveat. But yeah, it's an accomplishment. 1 Quote

Warriorspikes51 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Our offense is now capable of being a top 10 unit consistently IMO Cooper Shakir Coleman Kincaid 4 legit options in the passing game. I'd still ideally like us to add another legit WR due to Samuel's injuries and Mack Hollins Quote

Yes but when you have a 44 and 57 yard catch in the same game that will def bulk up your receiving yards even with a small volume of catches (16). Josh's passer rating when targeting Coleman is 126.5. 12 first downs in his 16 catches is noteworthy as well. 3 Quote
warrior9 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 But I thought we should have drafted the "big play" 6'1 160 pound twerp? I heard those guys are much harder to jam at the line! Quote

Jauronimo Posted October 22 Posted October 22 15 hours ago, SCBills said: Keon has already proved to me that he can be a Tee Higgins level WR2 as he develops… WR1 ability will depend on his route running and nuance. And in regards to that, he’s still incredibly raw/young as a WR. At this point hes much more dangerous as a runner. We should be getting him some looks in the screen game instead of forcing them to Samuel and continue giving him quick hitters like the one he took to the house. Get the ball in his hands and let DBs try to tackle him solo. 1 2 Quote

HappyDays Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Obviously this is somewhat dependent on QB quality, but he's leading all rookies in EPA per target and 3rd in total EPA. And he is still very raw and ascending. 1 1 Quote
No_Matter_What Posted October 22 Posted October 22 10 hours ago, Big Blitz said: Well you never know... Maybe the defenders were looking around the field wondering where Cooper is and thus they were not paying attention to Keon... 3 Quote

Mat68 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Im glad they put Coleman on the field in the heavy sets. 2 or 3 tes and Coleman. MVS was used prior weeks. MVS was strictly a deep threat. Play off move on. Coleman offers way more underneath. Coleman needs to continue to be featured in the offense. 1 Quote
Brand J Posted October 22 Posted October 22 McD on the pass that hit Coleman in the head in Houston: “let me clear that up, that wasn’t Keon’s fault.” Sounds like Josh saw something and went off script and Keon wasn’t on his page. Quote
