This is a refreshing change. Weren’t we usually in the bottom third of the league in YAC from 2020 - 2023. As good as Diggs was he usually didn’t YAC much. 
 

I think this goes to show it is more about the receivers skill set and less about the QB putting it in the perfect spot for YAC.

For Diggs it partially was due to him being double covered a lot.

The Bills were better last season (20th in YAC per completion).  However, before that the Bills were 31st in 2022 and dead last in 2021.  The Bills were 23rd in 2020.

 

It would be interesting to see the breakdown between Dorsey and Brady last season.

probably better under Brady because that was when Shakir took over as our number one receiver.

He led the team in yak, hence the trade.

Sammy, that’s true, but in years past we had more air yards as everyone knows Josh prefers to push the ball downfield.  That’s the problem with stats.  You have to look at both sides as the truth mainly lands somewhere in the middle.  One area I like the most is we may be lower in team stats as far as rushing or passing or total yards, but points scored vs. points allowed tells a story amd why we are 5-2.

We are 5th in the league in pts./game scored, amd 7th in pts.allowed on defense.  We’re quite a bit lower in overall yards, pass, amd rush yards.  Those categories don’t tell the story, but pts scored and allowed e plains 5-2.  Im guessing air yards  will increase with a healthier Shakir, Coleman finding his way, and well, the obvious in the Cooper addition.

Both Shakir and Coleman returned punts in college. It only makes sense 🤷

Wow, great to hear and shocking..

 

I would think being the slowest wide receiver to ever play the game, and someone who could not get open if he was paid to do so, Coleman would likely be last in yards after catch in what everyone considered a superb rookie class of wideouts, one of the best ever.

 

Instead, he is the best in this great group?

 

And with his almost standing still speed, you would think his yards per catch would  be dismal.  But his 20.4 yards per catch is the best by far among rookie wide receivers this year. And also the 3rd best YPC in the NFL, among all wide receivers.  Lkely just an aberration, luck.

 

And Beane too, just seemed to get lucky, again.

on double the targets and receptions?

Am I wrong in saying compared to other elite receivers he’s not as good at yac?

Yakety-yak, don’t talk back.

OJ only ran for 57 TDs in 9 seasons with the Bills??? I always figured it was a lot more.

1969 through 1971 were brutally bad teams and he lost half the 1970 season with a knee. His last one or two seasons were not great.  He really only had 4 good years.

I think they were typically bottom 1-3, last year it got a little better, this year is remarkably better
