Back2Buff Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 His time in Washington is what is intriguing to me. Coached some really talented players and with one of the best coaches. 1 Quote

No, he's been working for Rico Dennison, who has been coaching OL since he left the Bills OC gig - last 2 years in Minnesota. This guy Phil Rauscher was the assistant OL coach and got the promotion when Dennison refused to get vaccinated and thus was not allowed to have a position with player contact. Rico Dennison is probably the connection, and it wouldn't surprise me if he picked up the phone and lobbied for his guy with the GMs and coaches he knew. Quote
SectionC3 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Interesting. Wonder if this makes Morse more likely to stick and increases the odds that Williams and/or feliciano are cap casualties. Quote
BBills_88 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) I hope this wide zone scheme works, the run game was better with the GAP/PIN and PULL. Edited February 3, 2022 by BBills_88 1 Quote

I’m not smart enough to know what this might mean for our offensive philosophy going forward. Or what we can expect play call wise. When our run game was clicking the last several weeks of the season we saw a lot of pulling from Morse. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but that doesn’t really like up with a zone blocking philosophy correct? Quote

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but that doesn’t really like up with a zone blocking philosophy correct? I believe that's correct - it's not zone, it's "pin and pull". The problem is that zone blocking requires more power to just shove people out of the way, and while Dawkins and now Spencer Brown and perhaps Williams can do this, it's not a style of run blocking Morse can do well. 1 hour ago, BillsMafi$ said: So which is it?

GunnerBill Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Hmmm. Kubiak system guy? Zone blocking incoming? I wouldn't be a fan of that. 1 1 Quote

eball Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Having read three pages of this thread, I can only reach one conclusion: this is either a great hire or we're doomed. 1 1 4 Quote

A few new linemen and speed on offense seemed like a thought in Beane's mind at his presser. Quote
HOUSE Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 This is a raunchy selection, Rauscher then Doug Marrone .... Quote

To re-build 3/5 of the OL would take a lot of high draft picks and budget. Is this even a good draft for OL? Anyone? Quote

Yeah, weird that we'd go back to it unless they're planning a major OL makeover but Beane said we won't be big spenders. Maybe there is something to Pelissero coming out and saying half an hour later that there is no decision yet. Quote

Maybe there is something to Pelissero coming out and saying half an hour later that there is no decision yet. Let's hope so. They've got a puzzling track record on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe Gabe Davis was the beneficiary of KC locking down Diggs, I dunno, but still seems like he should have been on the field much more rather than Sanders. It took injury for Bates to get time at Guard, but the oline seemed to gel when he did. Took them a while to settle on Singletary as the bell cow. They find a blocking scheme that seems to work with their personnel and now they are looking at coaches that favor a system that precisely does not fit the majority of our oline. Whatever they do, I'll be optimistic because Josh is that good, but it would be nice to not have to worry about this hire. 3 Quote
