Continuity? Yeah thats something.  Josh Allen endorsed him, Ok they like each other.  If I had a friend or someone I was close with I want to work with him too.

I'm fine with promotions from within the organization.  But continuity and Allen likes him mean Nothing game time!!

 

If the bills are facing a defense thats giving us trouble, Will Dorsey be able to scheme around that and make on the spot changes?? Is Dorsey a creative thinker as far as Xs and Os?  I'm not talking trick plays and wild cat.  I'm assuming hes going to have his own complete new playbook??

 

I guess its a gamble either way, but I dont want our offense to drop off because were giving a first timer a shot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand your point but apparently 6 NFL teams were looking at him for their OC position. More importantly if Daboll was trying to bring him over to NJ, I would imagine Daboll who worked closest with him would have a good sense, or at least helped teach him how to elevate to coordinator.

I'd think that coaching Josh Allen would make you fairly confident you were going to get that security deposit back.

 

Only if you don't succumb to temptation to run the All Josh, All the Time show, instead of running the backs

Right, it's a gamble either way

 

You're either taking a guy who washed out of an OC position elsewhere - maybe not his fault, maybe his side of the ball was great and the other side sucked, or maybe he didn't have great talent to work with, but that's a guess

 

Or

 

You're taking a shot on a guy with a good background, but he's never done it before and the jury is out

It really doesn’t matter who they hired… people will cry about it

So who will be the run game coordinator?

 

As of right now, Kelly Skipper the RB coach is the logical choice

[Billz4ever]

Here's a question...Josh has several years under his belt now.  I think Josh has grown immensely and has a good grasp of what plays need to be called based on what the defense is doing (recognizing coverages, blitzes, etc).

 

Do we let Josh start calling some of his own plays?

I think the last thing we needed right now is someone from the outside coming in and changing up the entire system.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  It would be nice if we were able to generate a better running game from the RBs.  Of course Josh can run, but I hold my breath every time he does.  Even a pulled hammy as he's going out of bounds could really screw this team.

Could be a job for the new OL coach as well.

Happy to hear this. Continuity is great and some of the other rumored candidates were rather uninspiring 

 

Yes.  "Diboll and Dorsey" as package was very distressing considering rules it would break but evidently it was more speculation and less news.

Not with a name like that he isn’t.

That is my hope Josh reaches a point to where it doesn’t matter who is holding that clipboard. So if Josh wants Dorsey he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Are there even 6 teams in a position to hire an OC right now (either because their OC was just hired, or because they have already hired a HC?)

It seems like a bit of a stretch

[Maynard]

Best choice I believe. I’m good with it and Allen wanted him.

Excellent. Consistency and familiarity are going to help the offense get better. Congrats Dorsey!

 

Curious how he will differ from Dabol and will he be better?
