3rdand12 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 nice kid . I am wishing him success. In couple years , if the fans dont do an about face before then by resharpening the pitch forks and add kindling to the bonfire, this young team all around has quite a ceiling. And in my mind this has been the 1st draft of the new regime . Very exciting for the future but tempered with some patience this time around. Thanks for review BB
PromoTheRobot Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Did the Bills play a game in snow since Woods was drafted? I must have slept through it. PTR
3rdand12 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Of course he did. He is Stevie Johnson on Madden. And he has stevie playing in the snow with Fitz throwing and Revis press covering. That is preseason training full on .

Maury Ballstein Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Nice ! Here's to Robert woods stocking up all his money in Buffalo and eating a few wings along the way. What a plan.
Matt in KC Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 He's the second guy I've heard discribe the Bills offense as simple (after EJ who then kind of retracted his remarks). And "We're trying to be a fast fast-paced offense." That sounds great to me. if we have good talent and coaching, it doesn't matter if the sceme is simple. You can't teach speed. And the lesser known corollary: Watching tape won't allow you to defend against speed (or talent, or conditioning). He said his biggest transition is going to be playing in the weather, the snow. I'm not sure he really knows who is in the division yet, saying we play some great teams like Green Bay, New England.... I think he thinks AFC East = Cold Division. It sounds like he wants a fast car that is completely impractical on snow. He seems like a great kid and I'm thrilled to have him on the team.
#34fan Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Can't question Wood's potential.. Still, he acts and sounds just like a 12 year old girl.... I hope he doesn't play as sissified as he talks.
reddogblitz Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) He's the second guy I've heard discribe the Bills offense as simple (after EJ who then kind of retracted his remarks). You beat me to it. That's what I heard and it stuck out. I also agree that an offense doesn't have to be complicated to be successful. I think that was part of the downfall of the Gailey offense, it was too complicated. I'm not sure he really knows who is in the division yet, saying we play some great teams like Green Bay, New England.... I heard him say earlier in the interview that the Patsie, Jets, and Fish were in the division. He knows our schedule and mentioned Green Bay as a tough game. Also knew we play Tampa Bay. Seems like a nice kid. I really wanted him in the draft and am looking forward to watching him play this season. Edited June 25, 2013 by reddogblitz

Gugny Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 We play Green Bay? When? The first time it came up the interviewer was feeding it to him. In the Super Bowl ?
chris heff Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 In the Super Bowl ? Beat me to it. Seems like a nice kid. I hope he can play, the Bills need him.
Dorkington Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Chan's offense was complicated? I feel like we ran the same 5 plays over and over. O.o
1B4IDie Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I'm not always one for the small town Paranoia but "I'm gonna stock up while I'm in Buffalo" really does seem like he is saying "while I'm in minor league in Buffalo I won't spend any money. When I become a free agent and go to a real city then I'll buy the car I want. " He seems like nice guy. I don't like nice guys in the NFL. I won't a mean Richardhead WR that will go win jump balls. I really want him to be succesfull IN Buffalo. Edited June 25, 2013 by Why So Serious?

K-9 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 There is no correlation between the "complexity" of an offense and it's effectiveness. None whatsoever. You won't find any simpler offenses than those run in recent years by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Schemes don't mean diddley. GO BILLS!!!

You have a darned good perspective on the team and the kid . I really laughed out loud about the bolded bits. Thats gotta be right . I'm thinking at this point, he is a kid who is going to work hard and already has plenty of talent. You want aggressive ? Lets leave that to the defense WSS . Like Bradham and Alonso . Woods sounds like a kitty cat . But.. We shall see when Gilmore presses him . I bet Pettine is going to turn it up a notch for the rookie WRs all eleventeen of them including Cragg to get them up to NFL speed as fast as they can. Same with CBs and safety. So expect Woods to land at the #2 outside and be in decent position to do succeed . Lets hope he and the other kids can pull some attention away from stevie and chandler or CJ etc.

You won't find any simpler offenses than those run in recent years by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Schemes don't mean diddley. GO BILLS!!! Agreed. The K-Gun offense of the glory years had only about 10 basic plays, with variation of personnel and alignment. The key was the QB (and also the center) making the correct reads and executing. It comes down to the players on the field. Chan's offense was overly complicated, especially for the talent he had available. He constantly out-thought himself.
