Can anyone tell me what is special about Pats' receivers?
They have targeted people who can create separation witin 10 yards. It really fits their offensive plan with Brady throwing quick hits back there.
Now you tell me which wide receiver the Bills have can do that?
How about none!
One of the key weapons to convert 3rd down and beat blitz is to have receivers with such capabilities. Of course they need a brain to recognize what defense is doing, too. Sorry to say the Bills never had such a weapon. That's why Parrish is coming in this year.
Of course I'm not here to claim we can beat blitz every time/convert every 3rd down now. For one thing Parrish has to prove he can do what he does best in NFL. But at least on paper, we have all types of receivers on the team: a down field threat in Evans, a strong big body (meaning winning close one-on-one battle) in Moulds, a quick separation creator in Parrish, and Josh Reed who should beat other teams' 4th coverage guy.
I left out the most important component in the success of such an offense: a Qb who can use all this weapons. But that's another topic for another day.
