I can’t see us keeping Diggs in the slot at his cap number.

Can you explain? Many top WRs play a lot in the slot because it helps get a free release. You can run any route from the slot.

Gotta have longer arms. Automatic -12.1 rating pts

Exactly. It's like the formula for QBR.
Pass rush attempts/pass rush stops X arm length.
Impossible to get a perfect rating with arms less than 35 inches long.

Barmore needs to be in there.

Well, Maye is running the offense. And occasional big plays happen.
But imagine what it could be when we have all of our WR's involved. I don't know how in the God-created world that Pop - a shifty slot WR - can't get 1 target in an entire game, but that's a problem.
It's clear that, besides the TE's, Maye favors Diggs, and then Hollins / Boutte, but Pop is just a decoy??
That won't win us the Bills game.

Sure it will.

SOME THOUGHTS
Gibbens is a major improvement over Ellis.
Diggs is a major improvement in the slot over Douglas.
Vrabel has decided that he needs Stevenson in a reduced role. Stevenson is excellent at picking up the blitz and as a receiver.
Austin and Pettus are backups, but good backups. That 4th quarter play on the sideline was awesome. Both are good in minor roles.
I'm not sure that we need an active 5th WR. Diggs and Williams just need to get more targets.

Great game. Coaching staff and players really showed they put in work this week to clean things up. Diggs in the lot was a huge difference maker. Maybe has played like a top 10 QB since week one.

Barmore needs to be in there.

Sure not going to argue. He was a wrecking ball today too. Marcus 6.

 

[n1997y]

74% for the season so far. On pace for 38 total TDs. On pace for 30 TD passes & 8 TD runs. I think as he gets more confident in McDaniels’ offense, he’s gonna get even more dangerous. If he can stay away from the mistakes, it’s gonna be a successful season.

Add in only 1 sack today, great job by the line, giving him time to go through his progressions as well as opening up holes for the RBs.

Days like today might help him realize that he doesn’t always have to be thinking of playing hero

Let's hope so. Drake was great because he didn't try to do anything amazing.

 

[n1997y]

And on this list

Four games in. He has a chance of doing it again. Maybe a few times.

That’s a bs criticism.

FWIW….

Why 87.9 grade? Why not 100 given his perfect performance listed in the metrics?

H Henry says hello: he's been great for us.

Can you explain? Many top WRs play a lot in the slot because it helps get a free release. You can run any route from the slot.

The context was paying Diggs $20 million a year while trading/signing in free agency a true WR1 at $30 million, too. That seems a lot to devote to two WRs, but I could very well be wrong.

Let's hope so. Drake was great because he didn't try to do anything amazing.

What a ridiculous comment. He was 14/17 he made A+ plays on many of the throws. 2Td passes the 2 big throws to Diggs, the throw to Henry that was almost a TD are 30% of his drop backs.

 

[Sect140]

Still think Daniels is best of the three

I can’t wait for the Maye vs Daniel’s Super Bowl.

Who gave that context?

I wanna see Vrabel vs Campbell and if it’s tied at the end of regulation the coaches brawl at the 50
