What type of Offense will Ken Dorsey bring?

Yes, you are correct.  We currently have 1.  I suppose free agency and the draft doesn’t exist in your world.  They exist in mine and I’d like to add another solid TE that can block and catch

My point is what type of 2nd TE are we talking about free agency wise? You're spending a high pick on a TE? You'd have to spend some major assets on a TE to run more 2 TE sets.

We need more play designs with routes that allow for YAC. I think we were last in the league in that, with all of our air yards being Josh’s arm. Obviously we want to keep the bread and butter but a screen game along with some quick slant type routes will allow our receivers to catch and run instead of catch and fall down or go out of bounds.

I'm good with zero Allen designed runs against the Jets, but have him run as much as you need to in the playoffs.

 

It is not that I am worried about him in any particular game, but why not save some wear and tear, if possible.  I do think Allen is very different than Cam Newton.  I remember Cam getting absolutely SHELLACKED sometimes.  That only rarely happens to Allen.  Part of that is the rule changes.  I remember Cam getting a lot of lowered helmet on helmet hits and that has been greatly reduced in the game.  The other part is that Allen seems to have a way of turning what could have been devastating blows into normal hard tackles.

I expect to see the same concepts on offense. Daboll really is an offensive genius sometimes. His gameday playcalling left a lot to be desired though. Hopefully the new guy can keep a lot of the scheme and make better gameday calls

Hopefully we will see a quicker response to making adjustments.

 

Imho, the Bills coaches generally, have stuck too rigidly to their gameplans for individual games.

 

When they get things right, we win comfortably. When they don't, it seems to me as though they don't switch things up quick enough.

 

There aren't enough 'plan B's ' around, for when their predicted outcomes don't happen.

 

Other than that, I expect better balance between the run and pass, although we are still going to be predominately a passing team.

 

I like the addition/change to Kromer, and with them finally finding a serviceable O-Line, I believe we will see this.

 

Unless we sign someone at WR, I don't think you will see much in the way of additional YAC. McKenzie aside, our guys are TDs or chain movers, and the play designs have largely reflected that.

 

I don't think we have a WR (assuming McKenzie goes) that has the short area burst you need to get more YAC.

I'm guessing it'll be very similar. The changes will come up front with Aaron Kromer. I'm interested to see what happens there.

 

Josh Allen is going to basically control the offense though. He's likely to have even more say in what they do offensively.

What tight ends? We have 1.

Ertz is a FA!

Allen is a more athletic, aware, and smarter runner than Cam ever was

Something I've wanted since Allen and daboll got here was to see more no huddle the way new England ran it with Brady. Also, while we probably need to add a better running back than moss, I have no desire to run the ball more or have some kind of elite running game. For 17 years during the drought, we watched this team run way too much and have little success (from a win standpoint). It's a passing league and I do not want to see this current bills team go backwards. Our best running threat is Allen and it should stay that way 

Let’s not assume Josh’ body is going to hold up from continuing to run so much. Eventually all those hits add up. I have no issues when he scrambles and gets out of bounds or slides, but he shouldn’t be taking as much contact as he does.

Keep what works, fix what doesn’t. Personally, I’d like to see far fewer Allen designed runs. I get that the guy is a freak, but a body can only take so much. Hate to see him washed sooner than necessary.

Yes, be cautious during the regular season, but open up the playbook come playoff time.

Buffalo News article this morning.  Josh wanted continuity.  Same language, same plays.  Kind of not reinventing the wheel.  Josh expects some of the same with nuances based on Dorsey’s style.  Expects Joe Brady to have input also.

 

Article.  Has a paywall.  
 

 

Sucks you can’t even hardly read anything now on here… Just about everything is locked…. These**** money hungry news paper ***** they can all get*****

No man…..I don’t want to spend a high pick on on TE..

 

this is one of the silliest posts I’ve seen in 21 years on the site.  We’d have to spend MAJOR ASSETS to get a TE2?  Wth are you talking about?  Seriously not even worth discussing such a stupid comment.  No offense

[HamptonBillsfan]

Look for more of the Dabol offense with wrinkles depending on the quality of the O-line and what their strengths are. The addition of a dynamic RB could really make our attack a nightmare for defenses.

While I agree with you that (sadly) Allen is our best running threat, count me amongst those who would like to see less designed QB runs.

 

Look, Allen is a freak of nature, an anomaly, a unicorn.  I adore his skill set, and to be honest, it's clearly evident that Josh devotes himself to improving his running every year with the same passion and vigor that he does improving his passing.  But IMO, it's not sustainable.  Daboll at times rode Allen's legs too far, and there was one reason for me to be happy to see him go, that was it.  In 2022, I'd LOVE to see Allen's designed QB runs decreased significantly.

Same one as Daboll’s. Him and Allen will be co-equals.

Will it be similar to Daboll or do you think he will bring a whole new approach? Just curious on everyone’s thoughts.

 

it will be the same plus some wrinkles and hopefully more consistent playcalling
