Tommy Doyle at Jumbo TE

[Marvlevydraftdaygenius]

The more playing time Tommy Doyle, gets I could see the Bills using Dawkins as trade bait in the off-season.  Not saying it will happen but seeing what they could get is a possibility.

I wonder if Tommy Doyle can be a jumbo FB like Kyle.

Well he is a Jumbo human being so…

There was a group of guys in 337 last game cheering wildly and ironically every time the ref did the #72 eligible announcement, which was often. It was a funny schtick. 

 

But dammit if tonight from our seats I wasn't SINCERELY doing the hand signals for a lineman declared an eligible receiver (like pantomiming brushing something off both shoulders) and cheering every time I saw #72 report. 

 

I WANT TO SEE SPLITS OF OFFENSIVE SUCCESS WITH AND WITHOUT DOYLE ON THE FIELD TONIGHT. It FELT like those were effective plays, especially in the red zone. But that might just be my newfound love for our new jumbo TE2 personnel and the fact that the refs have to broadcast it every time. 

It probably felt like they were effective because every play was effective last night. However I think the formation has been effective the last few games.

This jumbo package is a revelation. Has solved our short yardage woes. Any time we need a yard, we can get it now.

I’m glad that he’s getting some experience out there and he seems to be making a difference.  Iirc he had 1 (maybe 2 penalties) and almost had another for going  Morton Downey Jr on someone after the play.  Doyle was fired up

 

It would be nice if we had a TE2 worthy of being active.  Are we the only team in the league that only dresses 1 TE weekly?  I hope he’s been practicing some routes and they have some trickery planned for these playoff games. 

 

 

I don't have the link handy but he is being used as a blocker for the past several games. Along with Bates on the OL , things have changed singificantly for the offense , esp in the run game. It seems Doyle is one of the reasons and also why Sweeny was not activated for last night's game.

Good to see them set throw out of the 2TE set.  That’s what I was banging the table for all offseason.  Having the ability to run 2TE sets to switch things up and keep the opposing D on off balance.  It’s been a key to our run game and it helps open up the pass gam.

 

I didn’t think that Tommy Doyle would be that TE2 but I’m happy that he is.  He’s been a difference maker.  He might not be capable of pass blocking as an OT just yet, but he can maul and move.

I’d say it’s more likely that Dawkins gets bumped to Guard but I doubt that as well. Doyle and Brown are both RTs. I suppose with an off-season to train and get stronger and learn Brown could become that guy at LT but as we saw this year he’s not close to that guy yet

Throw to him more than just goal line situations.

ive said for years it was a waste to have Lee smith in those packages instead of a developmental tackle 

 

give the young man some live bullets to develop 

Lee Smith actually did a fine job.  The mistake was not having anyone decent to replace Smith in that role for most of this season.   Tommy Sweeney is not the answer at TE#2.  
 

Doyle is a much better run blocker and he is athletic enough to catch a short pass.  It’s a good role for him and it gives the offense another dimension.

Hey I wonder.  Did he attend 

 

 

 

And how he was knocked for it

In Lee Smith's last year with Bills against AFC West he was assigned to block opponent pass rusher and he did it with ZERO penalties.

Josh Allen said he depended upon Lee Smith for understanding on AFC West teams.

Bills should have brought him as a "consultant" for KC game.

I've seen him out there but haven't noticed him. Best compliment a young OLman can get IMO. 

 

I'm thinking they try and throw him a pass this week or next (providing we make it) much like they have done with Dawkins before.

BUMPEROOSKIE and PROPS @No Place To Hyde it took a few weeks but Holy cow I LOVED IT last night:-)))))

 

I call that playing up to the level of your teammates BOOM

I think the point got missed though.
 

It wasn’t that Lee smith was a bad player, just that it was a dumb role for a vet TE to be a pure in line blocker.

 

Put a cheap young developmental OT there and you get as good if not better blocking, save money, and give a guy invaluable live reps at a position that has had its contact practice opportunities gutted.
