McKenzie jet sweep

[Chicagobills]

Why don’t we run McKenzie jet sweep anymore? Last year we ran it almost every game. I feel like offense less creative this year and more conservative? Maybe bc the poor O line play?

Maybe ???

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I will piggyback off of this and add that pre-snap motion, aside from tiny shifts with RBs, TEs and WRs realigning, has disappeared entirely.

They made McKenzie a specialist only. Such a waste of a weapon 

[Rc2catch]

It’s concerning. 
I felt despite the fact they rarely gave it to him it did slow the defense just a second making sure he didn’t get it which we obviously could use since pass protection is so bad. With McKenzie on returns this year maybe they don’t want to risk injury using him too much, but it’s not like other guys can’t do it. I really like moss but I’m kinda hoping he misses a week so Breida jumps in and maybe runs that gadget role to distract defenses and catch the occasional screen

Good question

Because we tried one in week 1 and Pitt was waiting for it and it seems like it scared the Bills off from using it ever since

[Sharky7337]

It's almost like we went to the Adam gase offense lol no motion

[Ethan in Cleveland]

McKenzie had a breakout game against the Dolphins last season and has been MIA ever since.  It's sad.  

 

Once they get Knox back they will have more balance

[Process]

Daboll is in completely over his head. He really has no idea what he's doing.

[fasteddie]

They are too busy having McKittrick trying to block on those head scratching wide receiver screens.

Sarcasm off.

[Andy1]

If McKenzie gets injured, who can return kicks as well as he can?

I think that’s why we don’t see it. I do miss it though.

And Gabe Davis hardly sees the field.  He had 600 yards and 7 TD's last year, made huge catches in the Indy playoff game.

I think he is overrated, although no HC offers after multiple interviews tells me other GM's don't rate him that highly either.

In his defense, nobody can go very far with poor Oline play, but he is so scared to run that defenses almost always know what's coming.

 

I also agree w another poster wondering why we drafted Basham who never plays when we were so in need of Oline talent.  Some of this is injury related, but part of it is poor planning.

Sanders is getting his reps, and he's better than Davis.

 

But  yeah, there are major problems with the offense.

[Dr.Sack]

Daboll hasn’t been the same since losing both grandparents, we need to understand there are things going on that would cause anyone to be challenged at work. We need to be patient and let him work out of this funk.

Whatever creative ability Daboll had has disappeared with this pathetic OL.  I have an idea. All the money we would've wasted on Edmunds we can use on a guard.

You sure Sanders is better at this point?

Seems like Daboll retires concepts based on a comment he once made in a press conference. I don’t get it- not every play needs to be something no one has ever seen 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

are the bills just trying to get to the playoffs to open up the play book a bit more/ keep guys as healthy as possible?

 

This season has seen a drop in pre snap motions and any sort of slant passes/crossing routes over the middle
