    Forget Watkins

    Robert Woods may be our no.1 wr this year.
    If things keep up with the way EJ is playing, Chandler might still have the most number of catches.

    Re: Forget Watkins

    5.6 preseason ypa, the coaching staff must really be babying Manuel.

    Too bad we can't declare the entire OL eligible on every play.

    16th overall 1st-round picks should never need training wheels to begin with.

    I agree with both statements. Woods should/could be the Bills #1 WR. He just keeps catching passes.

    And a TE or RB will have the most catches, if the pre-season trends continue.

    Cue someone "It's only pre-season. It doesn't mean anything."

    That's already coming up but the reality is we didn't look much more imaginative last season because of injury, hopefully we're past that now.

    Preseason matters but it doesn't count.

    Re: Forget Watkins

    Although Robert Woods does indeed look very, very impressive, Watkins is going to be our best receiver this year. I don't remember which poster said it, but we should have a 3-WR base offense. Watkins & Williamss on the outside, and Woods in the slot. With those 3 guys, plus Freddie and/or CJ on the field, that is a tough to match up against.

    Re: Forget Watkins

    You can forget all the wr's since we don't have a qb to get the ball to them.

    Chandler and checkdowns to the backs.

    Hey Whaley a little tip for you, as much as I like Watkins he will be basically useless if your qb sucks.

    No wonder Marrone is always pissed off, he is stuck with that stiff at qb and will be looking for a new job unless a miracle happens.

    I totally disagree as 1)Watkins is a rookie and to me it's telling that EJ is always looking for Woods inside the twenty it tells me he has more confidence in Woods. I think the Bills will be lucky of Watkins puts up receiving numbers like DeAndre Hopkins and Terrence Williams (see about 800 yards receiving) put up last year as rookie but think we'll see him put up Aaron Dobson type numbers (500 yards receiving). Yet my question will be does Williams and Woods on the outside with SJ13 and Ebron at TE and still having our 1st Round pick in 2015 (who we could argue could be Amari Cooper who'd replace Williams or Stevie in 2015) a better group? Time will tell.

    Training wheels? Are we talking about the OC or the QB?

    EJ, the OC shouldn't need to be trained to be an OC in the first place. I actually think the Syracuse buddy system is going to be Doug's demise, he should of looked for another Schwartz (HC that was cut) type guy for an NFL experienced OC to have in the fold.

    Re: Forget Watkins

    It looks to me like Watkins has amazing hands and can run after the catch...it really plays into his strengths the more he's not the go to guy. If Woods racks up catches and Williams is also consistent wow that really makes CJ and Watkins threats on the field to get the ball and run with it....

    Re: Forget Watkins

    I hope this is just a "no sense aggravating it in preseason thing", but wow what a freak thing, eh? He comes off the line and Allen grabs his facemask. Manuel throws the ball at his feet and Allen grabs him around the waist. Watkins sees Shazier coming to hit him and turns his back. Shazier pulls up and sort of rolls over his back. It looks like he got a bit of Shazier's knee into his lower right back (right at 0:27), but it sure didn't seem like anything that would cause much injury.

    I've only seen replays so have no idea what the official line on it is.

    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Re: Forget Watkins

    Jim Kelly about Andre Reed: " He meant so much to my career. He made me look good. He was so great at YAC, he took a 5 yard pass & turned it into a 50 yd TD."

    Watkins could well be the next Andre Reed for the Bills.

    My guess is that that the coaches were hoping Watkins could turn a 5 yard checkdown from Ej into a huge gain. I hope EJ isn't going to revert back to being Capt. Checkdown because Watkins could do more damage downfield where teams would have to worry about him , Woods, M Williams and Goodwin.
