The guy can actually make the first tackler miss, something the offense just doesn't seem to have consistently. Put him in coach.

I agree and it doesn't look like they're going to have a choice.

Play Cook less...like not at all. Currently useless.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Definitely, crowder hurt and not doing much, give the rookie burn.
The Bills are bringing Shakir along slowly like the usually do with rookies. He is going to see a lot more playing time now considering injuries to the WR’s.
With the injuries to Kumerow and now Crowder (hopefully McKenzie will come out of concussion protocol....but with the recent concern over playing after a head injury....who knows) it looks like we are going to get our chance to see Hodgins....and maybe even Austin and/or Gentry.
The Bills finished the game with only there healthy WR’s....Diggs, Davis and Shakir.

I didn't really want obj . But we may end up Needing him when he is ready to play.Davis doesn't seem like he is 100% he usually goes for a couple deep routes. Not lately
He had some mistakes early on in the season, a missed block on a third and 1 and at least one misrun route. But the way his character is talked up, these are things he'll overcome.
Right now, he goes to the slot, since he's needed there.

Well they don’t have a choice now

Davis isn't ready and tried to gut it out.
Was his injury hands related?
All of a sudden he can’t catch.
It's odd to watch. He never drops passes, but since the injury, he can't catch anything.
I think it's confidence
He needs a score and it will all go away.
I consider myself a "semi-pro" when it comes to ankle injuries - even though I've never had the stellar rehab advantages.
It could be that he's concentrating so much on making sure he doesn't re-tweak the ankle, that he's not completely focused on the ball. If that's the case, and he's hyper focused on how his foot is landing - he's not ready to be on the field.

I have no concerns with playing Shakir and Hodgins. They both looked great in preseason and Shakir showed some moves yesterday.

He's gonna see more of the field with the injuries foe a few weeks. It'll be a good experience for him. He certainly looks impressive. Hodgins will get moved up now most likely, I trust him too.
Davis clearly playing through the ankle. I'm sure he'll get back on track as it gets better.
Davis has had issues with drops before. He's going to drop some passes that are going to drive you mad, but he's also going to make some incredible catches. It's why he's a good #2/#3 WR option, but likely will never be a #1 guy.
COMING SOON...
I thought Shakir could be an outside guy but he's probably destined for just the slot.
I said during preseason he would make the 53 man roster. I think he’s going to be special once he gets used to the NFL.

Shakir has now caught 2 passes in his young NFL career. He has dressed for two games, playing a grand total of 40 snaps, getting two targets in the Tennessee game with zero catches. His two targets in the Baltimore game resulted in catches (both nice ones) that gained 23 yards.
Hodgins has played in one NFL regular season game in his three years in the league.....on the field for 4 offensive snaps. Zero catches.
I have a LOT of concerns with either of these two playing considerable time instead of Crowder, Kumerow and especially McKenzie.
Crowder has played offense in 100 NFL games with 51 starts. He has 415 receptions and 4,667 yards and 28 TD’s.
McKenzie has played offense in 69 NFL games with 22 starts. He has 114 receptions and 1,075 yards and 10 TD’s.
Jake Kumerow has played offense in 43 NFL games with 9 starts, He has 27 receptions and 436 yards and 3 TD’s. He has played 24 games on special team for the Bills since 2020 averaging over 60% of the ST snaps.
When two players with such limited actual game experience replace three payers with plethora of the same, it’s a BIG concern.
Luckily for them, they have Josh Allen at QB. Hopefully, they can keep the mistakes to a minimum and do the small things (like blocking and running good routes) and provide some positive contributions.
At the very least, getting game experience will go a long way to helping them develop.
