I was thinking about this when I watched the video on BB.com featuring Wright this AM. They seem to be very high on him as well. We have rb's that can catch. We have speedy wr's and most importantly a qb with an arm and very mobile. If and IF the OL lives up to potential the sky is the limit with this O.

The K in the K Gun was Keith McKellar, and later the role was played by Pete Metzelaars. Unfortunately, we don't have any TE's anywhere close to their level. So we're still missing a key ingredient of the K Gun.

Also, the K Gun was not particularly adept at ball control- they usually scored very quickly. With our lack of talent on D, the idea needs to be keeping the D off the field as much as possible. I'd rather see a run oriented attack and I definitely don't want to see a no-huddle as part of the base offense.

Are you sure the K wasn't Kelly? Keith McKellar sucked by the way, I wouldn't say he's leaps and bounds better than Royal, if at all.

Metzelaars was alright, he could make good possession catches.

So next year we should get decent tight end,WR and tighten up the D-Line even more. We don't need a lot. But first things first. Let's see what this season holds!!!

.

that's your opinion. I can see Royals with the same stats given the same supporting cast both Keith and Pete had. Don't forget that in the K-Gun, both of them didn't have to block as much because Kelly had one hell of an OL.

well that's another key difference- the supporting cast. While our OL is improved, we're not even close to what it was in the days when we had House Ballard, Will Wolford, Jim Richter, etc. And also, we had 2 solid receivers in Reed and Lofton with Beebe backing them up. After Evans, we don't even have anyone who's Beebe's equal at the moment.

I know wikipedia isn't the greatest source, but I've seen ex-Bills from that era say that McKellar was the "K" in interviews.

Op is right. McKeller also far from sucked since he was a just basketball player who played only one year of college football before he was drafted in the 9th round. Talk about exceeding expectations!

from Marv's book..

We didn't pick another offensive player until we chose a basketball player from another small school (Jacksonville State in Alabama) in the ninth round (there were 12 rounds in the draft in those days). His name was Keith McKeller, and it was after Keith, a tight end, that we would name the quick-striking "K-Gun" attack that we featured during the Super Bowl years that lay ahead.

It's also way too early to call out Royal who was stuck back in pass protection most of last year. Let's see what he does this year before we lay down the verdict on him.

I am not disagreeing with you on this quote, just saying that I can see Roayls making the same numbers.

Of course we can't run the exact Kgun because we will never have the exact players you mentioned but we can still run a different version of the KGun with the players we have . It'll be different being that the mentallity of our HC is to rotate players as well.

all I'm saying is that we need an offense that is predicated on ball control to keep pressure off the D. If it's a modified K gun that's not no-huddle, that could work, but we need to win the TOP battle to win games more than ever.
