00:00Now, what we see outside of Khalil Shakir in the passing game for the Bills, I think

00:05will, I'm not going to say determine how much the Bills move the ball down the field or

00:11how many points they score, but, you know, as we saw today, it was Khalil Shakir, and

00:18that was really it.

00:19Right?

00:20We saw 15 receiving yards, 15 from James Cook as the second highest player on the Bills

00:27after Khalil Shakir having 67, Matt Collins with 12, Dalton Kincaid with 11, Curtis Samuel

00:33with 9, Ty Johnson with 8, Keon Coleman with 5.

00:38So when I'm looking at this, you know, normally I want to say like, oh, do we want to be buying

00:43into Amari Cooper, who had one target?

00:47Do we want to be buying into Dalton Kincaid, who at least we know has a decent, you know,

00:51chemistry with Josh Allen?

00:55A part of me wants to, like, just say Keon Coleman's not going to be involved.

01:01I just, 23 and a half for Keon Coleman seems too high.

01:04He's literally not going to be on the field for snaps.

01:07He's not, he hasn't played a role thus far in the postseason.

01:10One target today, one catch for five yards.

01:12One target, or excuse me, one catch, three targets last week versus Denver for five yards.

01:19You know, the game against New England, we can't take into account, obviously, Josh Allen.

01:22He had 10 targets in that game.

01:25And there are games that Keon Coleman had seven targets, but there are games where he's

01:29not bringing in a lot of balls.

01:31There's games where he is a bit of a deep threat, and he's not catching that at one

01:33or two, you know, deep shots that he has.

01:37He's not picking up a whole lot of yards.

01:38You know, one catch, 17 yards against the Pats the first time that they played.

01:42One catch for 64 yards versus the Lions in that shootout, but he only had two targets.

01:47So the point being is there are games where Keon Coleman may only see two, three targets,

01:52and if he brings one in, it may go for 30 or 40 yards or 64.

01:57But if he's not catching that, he's actually not really involved in the offense at a high rate.

02:03So I'm leaning on Keon Coleman under 23 and a half receiving yards.

02:08If you were to ask me, who do I think the ball should be going to when it's all said

02:13and done, if the bill's, you know, in their passing offense, for me, it's Khalil Shaqir

02:18should be about tier one, and then we have some sort of jumbled bunch

02:24that could be adult Kincaid, could be James Cook coming out of the backfield.

02:28Maybe Amar Cooper as the veteran presence that they traded for for a reason gets involved.

02:33So it's Khalil Shaqir number one, and then it's Kincaid, Cook, and Cooper,

02:37and I just don't know if Keon Coleman is going to play a role.

02:40And then we're going to see times where Matt Collins catches the ball,

02:44Curtis Samuel is involved, Tyke Johnson.

02:46There are just too many options for me to buy into a rookie receiver

02:50who is not playing a role in their offense.

02:53So Keon Coleman under 23 and a half receiving yards is looking to be,

02:58I don't want to say one of my favorite backs of this game.

03:00I just don't know if he's going to play a role.

03:03And 23 and a half is a low, like he, I don't know if he'll even have one catch.
