Big Turk Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 It doesn't work...O Line needs to be together so they work on communication, timing and understanding what the others will do in various situationa...only way to do that is through lots of reps together.

BringBackFergy Posted September 4, 2019 Author Posted September 4, 2019 Now Sal Cappacola on WGR is talking about substitutions on O Line based on best matchups. WTF?? Is this alt-universe? Are we in Russia? This isn’t Russia, is this Russia?

More so because it matches our strengths and weaknesses per individual player against the oppositions strengths and weaknesses. This can change from week to week or even from play to play IMO. This is the key. week to week matchups. That's true flexibility. and if a team switches schemes at half time l all bellchickian and such. you add or subtract girth for finesse and vice vin it's true sense this is not gadget football. it is being prepared for nearly any situation that a game day might bring. The D line rotation beane and Frazier use is a simpler and basic form of that 39 minutes ago, matter2003 said: It doesn't work...O Line needs to be together so they work on communication, timing and understanding what the others will do in various situationa...only way to do that is through lots of reps together. you have a closed mind.

I came up with his idea all on my own. Watch how the football experts like ESPN, ProFootball Talk and Yahoo will pick up on this and run with it. You guys just remember that old Fergy was the first to recognize the clear goal of our head coach: He is building an 5 cylinder engine on the O Line with pistons firing from different positions at all different times. Here's what I mean: What is McDermott's #1 goal in finding a suitable Offensive lineman?? ANSWER: Versatility We have tackles that have played guard. We have guards that have played center. We have guards who played tackle. Shoot, we even had a TE who played tackle. The point is, all through OTA's and minicamp, we have seen a variety of players playing at different spots. Where else do we see this? On the defensive line of course. DT's move to outside, DT's drop back, DE's move inside, DE/Linebackers move inside, etc. So why not incorporate the movement and versatility of Offensive linemen in the same manner? For example: On 1st and 10, Morse lines up at center, Dawkins at Left Tackle, Feliciano at left Guard, Ford at right Guard and Nyseke at right Tackle. We gain 4 yards on a run play. On 2nd and 6, we break huddle and Feliciano take the Center position, Dawkins moves to right Guard (his position for years) , Ford moves to right Tackle, Morse takes left Guard and Nyseke moves over to left Tackle. The defensive ends and DT's will wonder what the hell is going on because most of them have studied film on the individual designated at that spot in front of them. The versatility will throw them off. Every great offense has to be innovative. In addition, versatility allows McDermott to create a stable of 8 O-lineman who can play all different positions. Just like McDermott cycles D lineman in to keep them fresh, he will substitute in O linemen or move them around the line every 3rd down or two to not only maintain "fresh legs" but to keep the defensive line guessing who they will be matched up against. It's a chess match, and McDermott is Bobby Fisher. Keep an eye out. This is the wave of the future and McDermott will be the innovator. How did I miss this back in June? You're an idiot.

JerseyBills Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I just think we struck gold with McDermott. It's now year 3 and I think we're going to see much more exotic and dynamic play on both sides of the ball. We're going to see his personality shine through this team . I think we'll be way more aggressive on both sides of the ball. Something special about this team .
