Mark Long Beach Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I've never heard of such a thing! Well at least I haven't seen one from my beloved Bills, for what feels like an eternity. from: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3...77-ad245d201556 The offense, however, had answers with the draw play catching the defense over committing to the pass rush a couple of times. With the defense pinning their ears back and coming up field hard, Fitzpatrick ran a draw play to C.J. Spiller who darted through a cavernous hole for what would’ve been big yardage. Six plays later rookie back Joique Bell also had success in making a big gain on a draw play with the defense focused on getting to the quarterback. I would like an extra helping of this please.

Screens? Slants? Mixing up the playcalling? Using our players strengths instead of running a 4 play offense? Blocking???????? It should be a nice change to feel like we can actually score any time we get the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a nice change to feel like we can actually score any time we get the ball. Blocking? OK... now you've gone to far. I can accept that the RB/QB makes a mistake so the casual observer "thinks" it was a designed draw play. (Of course, we all know that the league banned draw plays a decade ok.) But, there no way these guys actually start blocking. Now you're just pushing the bounds of reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 OK I am confused. The Bills are KINGS - KINGS - of the 3rd down draw play. KKIINNGGSS. When I heard that in the video I yelled F*UCK, here we go again with more F*CKING draws!!!! once more - KKKIIINNNGGGSSS of the draw play. every time they had 2 backs (sometimes is was a RB and a TE) it was a draw play. why are you excited about more draw plays?

drewfla Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have to echo that sentiment. They used it inside the 10 always. Edwards would never throw INTO the end zone. Either a screen or draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDaDdy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 This is great news but isn't it a little sad that we are starting to get happy over great plays we used to run 10 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree- plus the success of the draw play is dependent on generating respect with the passing game something the Bills haven't been able to do lately.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Totally agree- plus the success of the draw play is dependent on generating respect with the passing game something the Bills haven't been able to do lately. I love Fred Jackson, but the third and long draw play seems to pad his stats a lot. It's 3rd and 18 and he gets 13 back on a run and we punt. I agree we are the KINGS KINGS of the third and long draw. But I think we are actually the kings of the obvious third down draw, when everyone knows you will run it because you cannot get 15+ yards on a pass play. We hardly ever do a surprising draw. And we are the KINGS KINGS KINGS of third and LONG LONG LONG, like 12-25 yards instead of 3rd and 8=9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they might be draws but I always felt they were more like a slightly delayed hand-off. No surprise, no significant delay, no real selling of a pass play. They were failure of design as well as execution. I guess I should have said that I miss a _successful_ draw play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 At least we wont see the stretch play to the right side 60% of the time we run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
