bigK14094 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 There need to be a few to run once a season for each play. Naked bootleg is one........bootleg at the one yard line is another.....as for RPO's, maybe not so much as Allen should develope into a classic pocket passer. 1

But he seemed to get better with sliding & i think even while in college running was part of his game mainly because his lack of a O line to protect him which was the same here last year !! I hope McBean can get that fixed & that too will help him to not have to run nearly as much . Agree with most of this. I do think "the pocket" was the least safe place for Josh last year, but also that he really needed to learn how to slide or step out-of-bounds. At least with some space he could use his speed and ellusiveness to keep from getting plowed over. That does not guarantee that some tool like Alonso won't still try to take your head off with a flying forearm/elbow. Good thing the kid had his head on a swivel that play. Defensive players hate running QBs and the cheap shots will keep coming...if running and making linebackers and safeties look silly is going to stay a part of Josh's game he has to remain aware that sliding or going out of bounds is no guarantee he won't get hit.

Only if you're you fill in the blank I don't want to get in trouble. The title and OP said exactly what I intended. Keep scrambles and short yardage runs, eliminate the rest.

transplantbillsfan Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 7 hours ago, CSBill said: HIs stats are so poor in the design run game because our o-line is so bad. Allen's natural athleticism takes over in the scrambles, it doesn't go away in the design runs, what happens there is his dependency on good blocking, the Bills don't have that. Even with the best OL in the world, designed runs ask for your QB to get hit.
John from Riverside Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 What needs to replace the designed runs is throws from the pocket 1

The OP isn't opining to take his option to run away for him, he's talking about designed QB runs where the QB almost always takes a hit. 1
Warcodered Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Those are probably some of my least favorite plays from this last season but I also don't like removing anything from the arsenal.

Of his 38 “designed runs,” how many were QB sneaks or plays designed to literally only get one yard? I would venture to guess close to half of them.
MJS Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Designed runs require a good oline. If the oline is fixed, designed runs will improve.

Rather than guess, go through and tell us. I know I'd be very interested.

When a QB scrambles, he has a lot more control over whether he gets hit or not. LOL!!!! its a fun thing to cheer your little heart out over until he gets so righteously clocked that he doesn’t wake up for a week, with all ligaments discovered by mankind torn in his right knee And we told you so........
