28 times is bad, but the blame gets passed around from the coordinator, the coach, talent on the line and back field and the QB. 
 

I think* the bills have the player talent, but need a coordinator that can call and develop a consistent run game.

28 is a very low number, what are you talking about? The number was actually 30, but it is still among the best in the NFL---top 5 I think.

28 times is not that tragic, esp with a pocket passer as a QB and keep in mind that’s 28 times in 17 games. Josh was sacked 26 times during the regular season for reference. 
 

28 times is about 1.7 times per game which ranks 4th best in the NFL. Made more impressive by the fact that they don’t have a QB known to avoid sacks.

It ranks 4th best at 30 sacks given up which is about 1.8 per game.

Not sure about this...pro football outsiders has the Vikings ranked well below the Bills in term of offensive line yards(4.40 to 4.02) and Vikings were the worst team in the NFL in terms of getting stuffed on carries at 23%. Literally almost 1 out of every 4 RB caries resulted in a loss. In comparison Bills were 12th best at 16%

 

Expand  

However outside of the 2 stats you make mention of the Vikings line is ranked higher or better performing on almost every other stat line you provided. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So many factors go into good or bad stats, especially when looking at only one season. We don't have a lot of history on this coach. He's worked under a lot of good coaches.

Those aren't really line stats tho...those are how the RB does more than anything.

ah what do i know. i tried to average it out and thought about twice per game was too much. i dont remember josh getting sacked that much this year, asides from the steelers and jags games.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Scheme likely played a big role as this guy runs a zone scheme and Munchak runs a man or a gap scheme.

 

Maybe Bills were more concerned in what scheme the OL coach would bring in rather than looking for experience.

[bouds]

I think this says more about our run blocking scheme going forward,  If he gets the job it will be heavy zone blocking, not that we didn't block that way at times but it's just the system he comes from is zone heavy.

Sometimes younger coaches are able to connect with players better. So maybe there is a method to the madness?

Agree: The 2 Super Bowl head coaches are 38 & 36.

Some of which is reflective on blockers getting to the 2nd level.

[Laughing Coffin]

Talks at ~ 1:40 mark about the system that he likes to run..."wide zone" pretty much what he learned from Bill Callahan/Gary Kubiak

I would have preferred Dalvin Cook as the OL/RB coordinator.

[Bangarang]

Hmmm..he must’ve vacationed in Carolina at some point in his life or this hire makes no sense

[JohnNord]

Not sure what to think about this hire.  I would have loved to have Michael Munchak

because his OL’s are always good.

I think that Dalvin would probably be best served as a running back. I’m not sure he’s qualified to coordinate anything.

Not really much of a resume to say he's an upgrade. Not much to get excited about with this hire.

 

I wonder what the connection is to the Bills staff.

The only connection i see is Rick Dennison.  Who he replaced when he wouldn't get vaccinated.  Lot of young players on that offensive line and they didn't have any glaring pass pro issues.  All with a first time play caller in Klint Kubiak.  

Expand  

 

He was an offensive coaching assistant for Denver under their OC Rick Dennison (and RBs Coach Eric Studesville) on the Super Bowl 50 team which defeated Carolina and their DC Sean McDermott. McDermott probably knows him or has notes on him as far back as then and also via their mutual relationship to Dennison. The coaches at this level are all intertwined in some fashion.

[First Round Bust]

makes me wonder is this primarily Dorsey's hire as the OC or McDs as the HC..I am certain as part of the interviewing process for the OC position that the staff the OC expected to have or want came up ?

Vikings actually gave up 30 total sacks last year which was 5th FEWEST in the league. 

Expand  

 

The worse 5 team sacks all were over 50.

 

Young guy and being around the Washington RedFoot Commanders OLs back in 2018-2019 helps.

Too tease some Bills fans he sure would know Brandon Scherff.  LOL.

I wonder how the Bills data would look if it were limited to RBs though?   Kirk Cousins has the nimbleness of his grandmother's van, which he drives.

How does the data on adjusted sack rate look?

 

The other part of the story is...how would the Bills data look for the first 10 games vs the last 7 (New Orleans -> on)?

You've heard of the game "6 degrees of Kevin bacon".

 

Now we have "6 degrees of Carolina panthers"
