Quarterback and receiver chemistry often plays an important role in determining how successful an offense can be. That dynamic will be something to watch closely for the Buffalo Bills after acquiring wide receiver DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears.
With Moore now joining quarterback Josh Allen, one former NFL quarterback believes the duo might not be as good as it seems on paper.
J.T. O’Sullivan recently spoke about how Allen’s play style might require Moore to adapt.
“We kind of saw this a little bit in Chicago with Caleb (Caleb Williams) — Josh has the capacity to extend and create, and when you extend and create, you have to keep playing. You can’t quit on routes,” O’Sullivan said.
“You have to play through the whistle. You’ve got to extend. You’ve got to have a feel down the field,” O’Sullivan continued.
He added that playing through the whistle hasn’t always been considered a major strength in Moore’s game.
“And that just hasn’t proven to be something that as a strength for DJ Moore. That doesn’t mean he can’t develop it. Maybe they just practice scramble drill every day in Buffalo. I doubt it. I think we’re going to see Josh probably get a little frustrated with a guy who maybe doesn’t give full effort all the time.”
Now that Moore is officially in Buffalo, how quickly he adjusts to Allen’s style could become an important storyline for the Bills’ offense.
