Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago 25 minutes ago, The Wiz said: QB's that have the best separation are usually just throwing it to an area anyways because of blown coverage that their receivers can sit and wait for the ball. Similar to Keon's long pass vs the Titans. Blown coverage and Allen just had to throw it in an area. He doesn't get those to often. I'm not shocked that Baltimore has the most separation because all the defenders are watching to see if Henry is getting the ball and then recovering the best they can. That pass to Keon in the Titans game, while it had a lot of separation, it was not a deep ball in the true definition of one. Allen is fine with those passes like the one you describe. Deep ball to me are those passes that are lofted 40+ air yards down the field. Allen tends to throw those without enough loft. Getting a speedy receiver wouldn't necessarily fix his weakness in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either someone got beat badly and had no help over top or someone was way faster. Either way, you can throw it to an area in those times and not have to drop it in the bucket for a contested catch. That's the point I was making.

billsfan89 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Once Cooper gets going he's gonna be that true breaker route runner. I do agree there isn't that true elite speed burner out there just yet. I am hoping that Samuel can get his toe healthy and be that guy that can add some pop of speed to the offense. Samuel ran a 4.31 and while he's never been more than an average ypc player in the NFL he's also never been utilized consistently from the boundary or in a more "gadget" situation. I think as the Bills offense gets more and more film on it a good way to add wrinkles to the offense to stay ahead of coordinators adjustments is to get Samuel into a role where he's a "supped up" gadget player. With Cooper/Coleman/Shakir as the top 3 WR there is a really good chance to have Samuel and Knox put in more unique situations. The team goes 4 wide Samuel can do things like jet sweeps, reverses, and deep shots down the field. Knox could be used more like a Full Back and out the backfield more. Lots of room for creativity with those two players in more complementary roles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
