TE Scott Chandler's breakout 2011 season has continued OTAs. Chandler made several impressive catches, and the Bills said he can build upon his eye-opening campaign. "He and (QB Ryan Fitzpatrick) have a great feel for each other at this point in time," coach Chan Gailey said. "He's made some plays down the field, he's a big target. I see nothing but more positive things for him happening in the future."

Re: TE Chandler continues to impress
Scott Chandler is good at what he does, but he is a bit one dimensional. He doesn't have great speed, and he's not a great blocker. He's the kind of player the Bills should hold on to, but if you have a chance to pick up a tight end who can stretch the field more, and you don't have other more critical holes, then you should do it. The Bills have made sure they have a solid blocking tight end, and they signed Dorin Dickerson to try and add the speed Chandler lacks. Dickerson is on the small side for a tight end and will have to play more of an H-back role, but I think adding him constitutes a bit of recognition by the Bills that there are areas of Scott Chandler's game where he's lacking.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: TE Chandler continues to impress
TE is not that important of a position, but I'd still like to upgrade it. Personally, I'd love to see an athletic, receiver-type freak as the #1, then the #2 would be a sturdy, consistent blocking type.
Of course, that's assuming we don't find a Jason Witten type who can do both - those are generally harder to find.

Re: TE Chandler continues to impress
he doesn't stretch the field but he didn't do so bad in his first year with a new qb and system that he didn't have a full off season to work withLast edited by justasportsfan; 06-14-2012, 09:25 AM.

Re: TE Chandler continues to impress
Pfft.
BUF hasn't cared to get a TE that made a difference for a near a couple of decades. Chandler is just another in their long line of mediocre podunks.Last edited by stuckincincy; 06-14-2012, 01:01 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

I would have loved for the Bills to draft Gronk or Hernandez, but will all the holes on the team at the time of that draft, TE was down on the list on things that needed to be fixed. Now with a more complete team hopefully the Bills will address the TE issue next year. In the meantime, Chandler is much better that the previous mediocre podunks.

Re: TE Chandler continues to impress
Lee Smith is still on the roster. Highly touted coming out of Marshall, considered a dual threat receiver / blocker. I'd like to see how he develops.
He has Gronk size at 6'6'' 269 Lbs, got cut behind Gronk and Hernandez as a rookie and picked up by Buffalo. Pretty athletic for how big he is too.Last edited by JCBills; 06-14-2012, 02:45 PM.
