YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- In two seasons under coach Chad Hall, the Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver room has morphed from a laughingstock into one of the best in the NFL as the team enters its bye week at 7-3. From 2017 to 2018, Buffalo wide receivers ranked dead last in the NFL in yards, receptions, first downs and receptions per target and 30th in receiving touchdowns. They have made huge strides in two seasons under Hall. This season they lead the NFL in receiving yards (2,371), receptions per game (19.4), first downs (114) and receptions per target (72.1%). They're second in touchdowns (14). GM Brandon Beane deserves credit for adding veterans Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley. Each has enjoyed the best season of his career with the Bills. But there's a reason: They all have resounding respect for Hall, his coaching, the energy he inspires and experience he brings as a former player. His immediate success with the Bills after being traded from the Minnesota Vikings in March has been one of the biggest stories in the NFL this season and comes after Brown set career highs in catches and yards last season. And Beasley is on pace for the first 1,000-yard season of his nine-year career. Diggs credited Hall with helping him acclimate. "I give almost 100% credit to Chad Hall," Diggs said. "He puts a lot of extra time in. I just told him recently, he's probably one of the best coaches, if not the best coach, I've ever had as far as mentally preparing me and mentally getting me ready for the game."

Seasons1992 Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Surrounding a quarterback with talent and good coaching seems to be a good thing. 2

Dancing: TD dances have improved. Also, if you look at stats Beasley is a legit pro bowl contender. If you watch the games, you know for sure he is. 1

Logic Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Diggs calling him “one of, if not the best coach I’ve ever had” is extremely high praise. The proof is in the pudding. Hall appears to be getting the most out of the WRs. 2
ngbills Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Haha. One reason why...Chad Hall. Try a few reasons why but number one reason is a guy names Stefon Diggs. Number two is an improved Josh Allen. Not trying to hate on Chad Hall but there are a ton of WR coaches that would be successful with the throwing the ball as much as we do, this QB and WR's. 1

I only put in a few snippets. 1

Well, in football, players run plays and execute based on coaching. Diggs is doing things he never did in the past, his stutter routes for example. Bease and Diggs developed these in the past year. I wonder if..... wait, no.. coaching has nothing to do with it. Their mesh points, their break points, top of route releases, etc. That can all be natural but become better with good coaching. I don't think Diggs is saying he's the best coach he's ever had, just to say it. It's ok to give some positive comments on our coaching. Edited November 20, 2020 by warrior9
LeGOATski Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 I guess the most important part of his job is probably mental preparation, like Diggs says. Just keep the guys focused and their talent will take care of the rest.
GunnerBill Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 I had heard good things about him before the Bills hired him. Smart, natural charisma, a guy people gravitate to and a potential future head coach (though maybe a more natural college Head Coach than NFL Head Coach) was what a guy in the know told me about him. 2
Doc Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Barring some amazing performances, Diggs should be 1st in receptions and 2nd in yards (by 6, to Hopkins) after week 10. 1

I mean I remember wondering how much he had to do with Foster's resurgence in 2018 when he came back from the practice squad.
Stank_Nasty Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 I’m remember watching him run all over everyone in the mountain west as a RB at Air Force. That was back in college when I was a young buck and could stay up for the late night west coast games! Funny how things workout.

UB2SF Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 No one brings more energy to the Bills sideline on gameday than Chad Hall. Dude is 100% fired up 100% of the time. I love it. 1
