Matt39 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Antonio Brown told reporters on Wednesday that he believed it was time for Steelers quarterback Mike Vick to regularly look his way. On Thursday, it was Sammy Watkins' turn to call for the (damn) ball. "That's what I get mad at, when I don't get looked at," Watkins told The Buffalo News. "I can look at film and his eyes go straight that way and I'm not getting looked at, at all. That's when I get frustrated. When I have oneonone coverage, go to me. I don't care what's going on over there. I don't care if he's open. When I get one on one, just target me." Watkins looks around the league and sees other No. 1 receivers getting looks week after week. "Their quarterbacks go to them in every oneonone situation," Watkins said. "Force the ball. The only things that'll happen are I catch it or knock it out." Watkins said he spoke with his agent after the Bills' loss to the Patriots in Week 2. His representation then reached out to the team about Watkins' lack of targets. Watkins believes he needs 10 targets a game. "You came up to draft me and I'm not getting targets that's a problem," he said. "You're making me look bad and you're making yourself look bad. Why not make both of us look good?" There's some obvious frustration on display here. Watkins was brought to the Bills to be an offensive savior, but he's been overshadowed at his position. A series of nagging injuries haven't helped, including the calf issue that's cost him the past two games. Watkins has the skill level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A WR complaining he needs the ball more? That's a first. I'm sure the Bills are frustrated you cant stay healthy, Sammy.

Look, I respect Brees' ability to play and lead. But WTF was up with Ryan last night. Fumble twice in the red zone. Twice!! "Matty Ice" my friggin' ass.

CotcheryifyouCan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 i loved sammy at clemson and was pissed the bills ended up with him. i think he would put up decent numbers with a better qb, but that being said he needs to shut it. his team is winning games and he cant stay healthy. hammy watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get 10 targets a game while riding the pine. In order to build a rapport with a brand new QB you have to be on the field. But we all know players are incapable of shutting up when playing for Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 so i guess beckham wound up being the best WR drafted that year?? is it even close?? Too early to say.

Jetsfan80 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 so i guess beckham wound up being the best WR drafted that year?? is it even close?? Right now, nope. Mike Evans should be # 2 on the list but has struggled to develop a relationship with Winston (just 13 catches on 33 targets). Quietly, Jarvis Landry has been the most consistent of the bunch despite being paired with a lousy QB. Dude is a target machine, and up until he went up against Revis in London, he'd caught 5 or more passes for 12 straight games dating back to Week 8 last season.
