Coach Tuesday

Edmunds is SO BAD

Quentin J is really bad.

Don’t feel like blocking or tackling today. 4-3.

Can this guy Phillips stop getting hurt so I can watch the damn game.

Milano blew up that 4th down run. He’s only been in on 3rd and 4th downs so far.

3-11 wonder what will happen?

Worst third down defense I can ever remember.

They may well lose today.

Linebackers are TERRIBLE

This team has become really easy to play against.

This is going well.

Such an odd week to cut a guard...

He’s getting outplayed by others including Zimmer.

Harry still riding the bench.

Made pan-fried crumpets out of discard sourdough starter using this recipe. Used them to make sandwiches with vegan egg, sausage and cheese.

I predict 18 threads.

Preseason game tomorrow.

Knox is having himself the worst year of all time.

Based on the video the defense is simply too predictable.

Well that was depressing. After watching that, how bad must Spain be for them to cut bait at this point in the season? Just terrible fundamentals on both sides of the ball right now, they’re not getting proper leverage, gap control, tackling, discipline on both sides of the ball. This team is a disorganized mess right now and McD needs to coach a lot harder if the season is going to stay on track. Brutal.

People think the Bills can just field a bunch of practice squad players and beat a division rival playing for pride - it’s not going to be a cake walk. I would not underestimate the opponent and I think the spread will move a bunch.

As I said in another thread I think it’s the blocking technique and specially, in an effort to make run and pass plays look the same to the defense, he has the line look like they’re pass blocking on running plays (as opposed to the reverse in typical WCO zone stretch teams). The result is that on running plays the linemen are upright and reactive instead of low and driving. That’s my wholly uneducated guess.

Yeah, exactly. That freaks me out. That's not a recipe for success.

That's certainly Daboll's view and it worked in New England (which is obviously where he got it). IMO it can work with a very versatile and intelligent set of players. I don't think KC wants or expects to win too many more games that way - if the Bills actually made tackles, or achieved first downs on offense, the game would've gone very differently. I do think most offenses, and certainly this one, need to have something they can fall back on as a "go to" approach. I knew the game was lost as soon as I saw Daboll run Moss out of I-formation in the critical series of the third quarter on Monday - a formation and player that have never been successful for this offense. And he does that crap all of the time - he prefers surprise over execution and it sucks.

That's definitely cool info. My only concern about it is that I hope Daboll is going to spend time focusing on the offense's identity. Being "multiple" is fine but you also need a go-to identity, something you can always go back to, and be multiple out of. What is ours?
