Big Turk Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Interesting since so many people were of the belief that Taylor doesn't or isn't allowed to by the staff. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/11/what_we_learned_from_buffalo_bills_oc_rick_dennison_heading_into_week_13.html "He made about four or five checks yesterday at the line of scrimmage," Dennison said. "The same as any other quarterback I've had. We give him a handful that he can do. He can change protections in certain situations and change some plays. Sometimes we're going with two plays. Yesterday was a little different because of the noise. We wanted to keep that to a minimum but he did check a couple and put us in the right situation." I guess the question becomes what he he is allowed to check to and check out of and what he isn't...and then of course the results from the plays he is checking out of...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yea right the closest Tayor gets to an audible is telling Shady to right instead of left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the OC confirms it, but yet you know more somehow...interesting...are you in the huddle or something and know the playcall? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig1Hunter Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 A few plays during the game, you can see him directing and moving players around. I thought he was correcting them after they lined up in the wrong spot, but maybe he was changing the play / protection? I remember one (2nd quarter, I think?) Where O'Leary lined up in the left side, and Tyrod moved him to the right side. Play ended up as a run up the gut, I think. It's not a typical audible that we are used to seeing from the upper echelon QBs, where they read the defense, back away from the line, and shout some code word or use some hand signal to change the play.

K-9 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) As opposed to earlier in the season when TT said, “We haven’t gotten around to that yet.” It’s nice to hear he was given some leeway vs. KC, but those words from early in the season are still worrisome to me. There is just no fricken way a 7 year veteran QB shouldn’t have “gotten around to that yet” once the season started. I put that on Dennison, butI have to wonder why he would neuter his QB in that fashion. Edited November 29, 2017 by K-9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing O without audibling in the modern NFL is like fighting with one arm tied behind your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why they call an audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Comments sound like he’s doing the training wheels version of an audible. Not exactly what you want to hear about a 7 year veteran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a ton of people be upset over that play call. Maybe I just think differently but Shady is not a power back in any regard. He is a guy that needs space to make his plays. That's why he is successful when we pull guards and run outside. Isn't pitching it to him in space giving him a good chance to use the talents he has? Running up the middle doesn't seem smart to me with a back like shady. We don't have a power back healthy on the roster right now...I guess I don't understand. It didn't work...okay. At least we attempted to give our best playmaker the ball in space to do what he does best. Help me understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 he needs to do it more often than 4 or 5 times a game and he and the offense need more than one td to have a chance sunday. he and the offense are the weak link here late in the season and must be more aggressive. it falls mainly on the OC but taylor needs to take control with the audibles and changing the play at the los. no more run run run toss behind the los. this offense is boring and too predictable.
