Bills Receiving Corps - Impressive

[Mahdi]

Although a very different receiving corps than the one they had in 2016, this new look receiving corps is very intriguing and when you analyze it very impressive.

Their average height is 6.325.

All three WRs are high volume receivers that possess size, strength and great hands. Matthews and Jones are expert route runners, while KB and Clay bring the size and power.

All four are red zone threats. All four can make a big catch over the middle in traffic.

I think Jordan Matthews can be the biggest beneficiary of the presence of KB. He should have a lot more room to work the middle of the field and he is very good at that.

Jones hopefully builds off of last week and Clay looks like he's back this week so if he picks up where he left off this group of receivers can do some damage.

TT needs to continue throwing the ball like he did against the Jets and take advantage of the weapons around him.

Our RB has the most receptions, which tells you all you need to know about our QB.

[sukie]

Our 4 games only TE has the most receiving yards which speaks to something... not sure what though.

Considering where the receiving corps was at the beginning of the season, especially with Matthews' chest injury limiting his TC time, it is impressive where it is now. I'd say that when KB gets up to speed and Zay returns, it will be one of the best in the league. I just wish that TT were a little more consistent.

[Goobylal]

And IMHO, ideally they should have KB and Thompson starting outside because KB brings the size and DT the speed, with ZT starting in the slot. Previously I would have said JM but ZJ has really come on as of late and will definitely be here next year, whereas I'm not so sure about JM (and I'd favor them re-signing DT over him since he's got speed, which they lack, and will be cheaper).

that is impressive if a Bills were building a "street ball" team ....

No, it's impressive no matter how you look at it.

[Wally The Barber]

And they do this with no QB, AMAZING

[Mouldsie]

I am not that impressed. I guess I value talent, production, route running, speed, and playmaking more than height.

Am I the only one that finds this post to be a little bit ahead of reality? Check his pee!!!!!

WR production is difficult to achieve, when your offense runs the ball about twice as often as it passes, and when your starting QB had failed to produce much even when he had targets such as Watkins and Clay.
After becoming a full-time starter in Miami, Clay averaged (http://www.nfl.com/player/charlesclay/2495139/profile) 680 receiving yards a season. That dropped to about 540 receiving yards a season after coming to Buffalo. It's not as though Miami had great quarterbacking during Clay's time there.

Tyrod averaged 1000 yards less/ year than tannyballs did during Clay's 2 years as a Fin TE

I don't disagree. I don't think these WR's are that prolific compared to other WR's even with a more aggressive passer/playcalling though.

They aren't Adam Theilen and Stefon Diggs.



They do have a chance to prove me wrong and perform above expectation! I look forward to that. I also dont think WR is that important in winning as compared to other positions.

[sukie]

Again. Tyrod needs a 21-22 game season to match crappy Tannehill. Now I think KB with Clay back makes stacking the box a potential big mistake.

Tyrod needs to play a game and a half's worth for the Bills to win.

The Bills couldn't make Tyrod Taylor taller, so they made all the WRs taller.

LOL he can throw uphill now.

Exactly!

I would be impressed if they had at least one 5'11" high motor over achieving white dude as a 4

Lou and Tasker... Check. Who is 15?

[swiper]

Hogan.

He may have been taller.

[sukie]

Yeah, Chandler was a really good receiver. Toe sticking specialist.

[sukie]

is that matchgame?

[ParanoidAndroid]

What is Tyrod Taylor’s winning percentage when he throws more than 30 times? Like 15%?

[sukie]

Compared to the day after Watkins being shipped out. This group is impressive. By league standards... perhaps but Tyrod blows the whole scientific study.

Build an offensive line that can run and pass protect.
