Thought this was pretty interesting as Jared Goff as obviously taken a massive step this year. It's a short article but to sum it up, the Rams are going to line quickly so that Mcvay can scan the defence and relay an audible to Goff before the head clock goes off at 15 seconds left. To relate this to the Bills, we need to draft a QB in the first round. But it is also going to take a creative.smart O coordinator for the QB to progress, and I don't think Dennison is that guy at all.
ndirish1978 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Dennison needs to hit the bricks. I read this article earlier and was impressed.

jimmy10 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Isn’t an easy way to combat that by the defense to not get into position until playclock goes down to 15?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 They’ll probably change the rules now.

The hope there is that goff is taking mental snaps with regard to the play calling so when the time comes he can audible. It definitely is unique and is a good technique as long as those two are together. 1

That's how Rex and Rob Ryan defended New England's hurry up offense. 2/10 former Bills' coaches would recommend.
CA OC Bills Fan Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 2 hours ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: They’ll probably change the rules now. I heard this discussed on Sirius XM NFL Radio a couple of hours ago. Didn't hear who they were interviewing, but sounded like it was someone either in charge of referees or part of the rules committee. He said he expects the NFL to look at it and make rule changes accordingly. The interviewer (not sure, but it may have been Jim Miller) suggested the rule is 15 seconds left or whenever the center touches the ball, whichever comes first. In any case, good for McVay to use the rules as it currently is to his team's advantage.

Heard that too - it was Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan talking to Dean Blandino, Kirwan was the one that suggested the NFL should turn off the communications system when the C touches the ball. It's not that way now though...
Utah John Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 You know if Belichick was doing this we'd be screaming about him cheating. So the Vikings figured out they shouldn't reveal their D until after the clock got to 15 seconds. 24-7 Vikes
HappyDays Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I think this is pretty lame and they should make a rule to put an end to it.

And the only reason that Belichick hasn't done it yet is because it's not actual cheating. He doesn't like that. 1
billsfan714 Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Dennison and innovative are mutually exclusive words.

It's not that way now though... Doubt it would work. The answer to that proposed change is for everyone to line up with the center not reaching for the ball until the QB gives him a signal. Of course, nothing is stopping the defensive coaches from calling audibles themselves before their radios are turned off...
Luka Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Isn't this basically what happens in college? Line up, check the D and then back out and look to the sideline for signals? I know the radio obviously makes it more sophisticated but still...
