Lee Smith and Pat DiMarco update...

[eball]

From the Buffalo News this a.m.; should make a lot of folks happy.  Perhaps this is a sign that the Bills are finally figuring out "who they are" on offense and creating an identity -- or it's just the personnel grouping that they felt worked best against Miami.  In either case, 37 pts and 400+ of offense is nothing to sneeze at.

 

1. The Bills didn’t use their “heavy” offensive package much. Blocking tight end Lee Smith played a season-low seven snaps (10%), while fullback Patrick DiMarco was on the field for just four snaps (6%).

Daboll changes his offensive gameplan massively game to game. I will be happy when I see something consistently working. 

 

It would not shock me to see DiMarco out wide this week again and Lee Smith getting his 3 penalties.

Maybe it’s analytics. Maybe Lee Smith averages a stupid penalty every 8 snaps.

That's way they limited him to only 7 this weekend

[r00tabaga]

Please say this is a trend!

 

Now replace Bobby with Duke & I'll hang up and listen.

In other news the Bills offense scored a season average shattering 37 points.  

 

Could there be a Connection?

 

Details at 11.

Good on you.  It displays a healthy attitude to refuse to enjoy a good outing because you expect the sky to fall next week.

I think it was very gameplan specific but I would happily see more of it.

[Steptide]

Wouldn't be shocked if Smith played a good amount this week to help block 

[HOUSE]

I love Lee Smith, always willing to lend a hand to the offense.

[nucci]

a lot less penalties with Smith on the bench

[LABILLBACKER]

Neither should be on this roster. But in the tradition of Peterman the coaches eventually figure it out. It just takes a while.

[IgotBILLStopay]

While they have have a stout defense, the Broncos appear to be among the bottom feeders in takeaways. I think Allen shd continue to be "fearless" and Daboll shd consider making DiMarco and Smith inactive.

Now start to realize how ineffective Gore has been lately and activate Yeldon. Get him the yards to get past Barry Sanders (which is insane in a way) and stop giving him the ball. He’s just killing drives for us.

Probably a good thing because they are one of the worst power running teams in the league(ranked 28th), only succeeding 43% of the time.

Why do you want to activate Yeldon? Would you like the other team to have the ball more? Gore might have the burst of a snail on speed but I'd actually dress that same snail before I'd dress Yeldon. He sucks.

I hear ya, but one would think the gameplan was to run on the Fish and Smith/DiMarco fit into that sort of plan (theoretically).  I think it was more the fact that they went tempo and kept Miami from making substitutions by keeping the same personnel in the game.  Regardless, the offense functioned well.

Yeldon is better then people think and at this stage he’s better then Gore. It’s just going to be one of those things we never actually get to find out though because Dabol is obsessed with wasting touches on a guy that’s 5+ years past his prime. It’s not even about Yeldon as much as it is about not continuously giving the ball to Gore. This has a chance to be a really special season and Gore served his purpose. He got us through some tough times and helped up bring along Singletary. But now it’s time to get serious and for the last month it’s clear Gores legs are shot. It’s time to try and take advantage of this season and get some fresh legs to go with Singletary. Bring back Murphy I don’t care. It just has to stop being Gore. You don’t have to cut the guy. Keep him around and give him 2 or 3 touches a game. But he gets the ball way, way to much. He’s done.
