Wide receivers and tightends to play bigger role
The second year of a offense marks the installation of a much more complex offense. This year with the installation of new complex plays wide receivers, and tightends should be seeing a lot more balls coming their way.
The wide recievers is a group that has one sure fire play maker in Lee Evans, and another possible one in Roscoe Parrish. Veterans Josh Reed, and Peerless Price round out the top four. However, the guy to be watching is Roscoe Parrish.
Parrish is a talented wide receiver. We seen flashes of it in recent years. Parrish is a mold of a Andre Reed a player taht thrives on making plays after the catch. Last year he took Z-screen to the house, and the season before that he juked a Cincinatti defender out of his cleates for a first down on a third and 18.
Evans is the obvious play maker of the group after his breakout year last year. This year it will mark is he elite or not as many teams will double him. Do not let this fact deter you as Evans and JP Losman combined for the most play over 50 yards.
Reed and Price are an interesting pair. Both were thought to be busts within the league, but the Buffalo Bills beleive in them enough to sign them to significant deals. Both are looked upon as players that once had promise, but was knockedd back down to earth.
The tightends are a group that people hope will emerge this year finally as a threat. If that is to happen then Kevin Everett will have to emerge as the best of the bunch. Everett is a tightend in the mold of Kellen Winslow JR. and Shannon Sharpe out of college. Already the Buffalo News has noticed that he has improved, but is it enough to relpace current starter Robert Royal.
Both positions will be looked upon for results if the offense is to succeede.
