26CornerBlitz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 @SBNationNFL The Bills and Cowboys offenses are running all over the NFL. Here’s how: http://www.sbnation.com/2016/10/21/13331750/cowboys-offensive-line-bills-blocking-ezekiel-elliott-lesean-mccoy Running the ball isn’t easy. With all the physicality involved, the run game at its core is a ballet. A violent ballet. We have an assignment, a technique to be executed and we must make adjustments on the fly. So when everything goes as planned, it’s a beauty. The running game is also a complimentary piece of the passing game. Big passes are often a result of a play action fake, which works best when the run game is viable. My goal here is to enlighten y’all to the ins and outs of the run game and how they can give the offense easy chuck pass plays. Before I get to how the Cowboys stormed into Lambeau and dominated the previously No. 1 ranked Green Bay run defense, I want to start with the Buffalo Bills. They are riding a four-game streak largely due to the rebound in their run game. On Sunday, against the 49ers, they rushed for 313 yards on 44 carries, for an average of 7.1 yards per rush. Here are two run plays that are perfectly schemed up by the coaches and beautifully executed by the Bills offense. A thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to get mentioned alongside the Dallas OL, too. They are legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The holes are huge. Give Roman some credit as well, these boys are really crushing it on the field. Pass protect is probably a solid B, but run blocking gets an A+. Touchdown Mike gonna roll tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Here's what worries me. Roman, a flawed OC for sure, is said to be a master of designing running plays. I'm guessing the plays Shady is running were all drawn up by Roman. From what I've seen and heard, Lynn's success has come because (1) he has the team learn/practice/run a more limited number of plays thus improving execution, and (2) he might be a better play-caller than Roman. But without Roman to design these running plays, will our rushing attack eventually falter without him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Always fun to get good press, especially from someone who has some credibility. Nice to get mentioned alongside the Dallas OL, too. They are legit. Dallas OL isn't doing anything special, they are just really talented. They beat you because they are better than you. The Bills blocking scheme is really pretty complicated. Greg Roman deserves credit for that. Can't call a game very well, but I love his run blocking scheme.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) When people say the NFL is a passing league they're telling what happened, not what will happen. It's a passing league until somebody runs it down your throat week after week. Edited October 22, 2016 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are literally hundreds of plays in the playbook already designed, as well as variations of them. Between Lynn and Kromer, who have been coaching a long time, they will not run out.

In fact Kromer was the run game coordinator when new Orleans was actually good at running the ball and had an excellent OL (that was mostly mid and late round picks at both RB an OL outside Reggie) Edited October 22, 2016 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very similar teams though Prescott has 400 yards more passing and his top receivers are Beasley and Terrence Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Lynn having worked under Roman last season and this season can emulate the running schemes/plays effectively enough. Whatever he is doing the team has bought in and is executing it.

K-9 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Ask any Olineman what he enjoys most and he'll tell you it's getting the chance to impose his will on defenders when run blocking. Nothing demoralizes a defense more than getting their ass handed to them play after play after play. Totally wears them out. I am not a fan of Kromer personally, but I have to tip my hat to him and Lynn for some of the creative blocking schemes they devise. We are very good at mixing up our run action looks. If we ever master the play action game, look out. But I'm not sure our coaches trust TT to turn his back to the defense at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
