Good stuff and in Roman's offense it showed that Taylor developed well over the course of the season.

 

My biggest concern for the offense in 2016 is that the left side of the line stays intact and the Bills will add a better player at RT.

Thanks as always Yolo. You are one of the best at finding stories most people don't catch. This off season should be fun to watch TT continue to grow and make this offense automatic. I'm betting he really grows as a QB this year.

 

Nilharian, I'm with you. I think we'll be fine with resigning Incognito and Glenn. Finding a better RT I'm not sure. I'd also like to see a much better #2 WR.

What's interesting about this, along with Rex's defense, is that you can run these plays with good players who buy in and follow damn directions. You don't need HOF fame calibre players, as the mix of pass routes creates the open receiver as much as the athletic ability of the player does. Same with the Rex D, in which mulitple players' proper execution of their ONE stinking responsibility createss the free rusher to the QB. Again, both O and D schemes don't rely on winning mano y mano battles to enable success. Just 'do your job' and the scheme creates the opportunity. In the world of free agency and revolving door rosters, especially among the superior athletes, the scheme doing much of the work is critical.

 

This is why TT only threw a few INTs as well. In none of these was the pass thrown into a tight man on man battle, where you are relying on the athlete to win their battle. The scheme created the open receiver by moving the defenders to where Roman wanted them. Moral of the story is lets go get good, smart players and creative schemers like Roman and Rex leave the big shiny objects to go play high school one on one in the schoolyard. Go Bills.

If Roman is limiting our passing attack to make TT be more successful, is he limiting our potential? It makes you rethink TT as a long term answer if progression ceases. I'm not sure how I feel either way, but j definitely think Roman has more in the playbook that he hasn't opened up which I would really love to see

I trust Roman. I think folks just assume he is holding Taylor back but he is putting him in position to succeed. He has had 3 Qbs (Smith, Kaepernick, & Taylor) who has limitations as passers. If he just let Taylor gun it all over the field, the turnovers would increase big time.IMO, Roman is one of the best OCs we have had in awhile.

His running game is as sophisticated as it gets. Mccoy and Karlos are perfect for it. I don't think we will really be able to judge his passing game sophistication until Roman has a QB that can run those concepts effectively. He hasn't had one yet. They've all been works in progress. He's being paid to win games first and develop the QB second.

Well said Yolo. It's why we shouldn't draft a receiver high. But we could use another TE (Henry or Howard please!).
