ALF Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Watched Murph today with Daboll , I'm impressed and optimistic. Side note “They’re great. They’re two great dudes,” said McCarron. “Nate is a walking angel, and he’s one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. Josh has been awesome to work with, and I’ve been trying to help him in every way I can. But we have a really good room. It’s a fun thing to be a part of.” http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-Today-Bills-QBs-work-together-during-open-competition/e960b3e4-2bfd-4442-95f3-01b82d62fbde

Maybe there is a silver lining in not having an entrenched starter. A QB room with a known competition for the starting position, but egos left at the door. That kind of cooperation and leadership should help set a tone for the team and seems to fit McDermott's vision. 2
mrags Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 That’s great but at the same time it’s trying to have your linemen learn many different duties. If they can’t master 1, they won’t all master 2 or 3. 1 1
That's No Moon Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 In theory I am very happy with this. In practice we'd all better be ready for some serious hiccups with multiple new linemen and an inexperienced QB. 1

Mrbojanglezs Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) in theory this is good...we'll see how good they can implement and execute it week to week. reminds me of Rex's defense. Sometimes more is not better. Edited May 31, 2018 by Mrbojanglezs 2

Cheektowaga Chad Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Think the better question for Dabol would be, what is the base scheme or go to scheme based on your current players strengths

This is how it should always be. People always try to make football harder than it has to be. It’s a pretty simple game.

If they can’t master 1, they won’t all master 2 or 3. Right on. In an ideal world, the OL (who are often some of the smartest guys on the team) are able to learn different skills well enough to react as rapidly with all of them. But it's better to do one thing well, than try to run 2 or 3 schemes all badly.

Maybe so the players could get it down to second nature and perform it flawlessly. An O-line has to function as a precision unit. If you could just mix and match at will, more teams would do it.
