JerseyBills Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Interesting interview . Still love this dude and his passion When Jefferson was brought up about winning opoy, Diggs went out of his way to mention he has an offensive HC. Shot at McD? Maybe Also brings up what we've been talking about how we looked different in the 1st 9 weeks - edit -, that was the Jets game where Josh injured his UCL. Coincidence? Maybe Great listen. We're in good hands with leaders like this and 17 slinging the rock. Touches on Damar situation and how he felt in that moment. Blood coming from his mouth. Apparently passing away twice on the field Love this dude- I'd suggest everybody to give this a listen when you have 15 minutes Edited February 20, 2023 by JerseyBills 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 You think he is taking a shot at McDermott in the media and you think that’s good leadership? OK 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I mean I'm just guessing here. I just like his passion and winning mentality. Rather have our #1 offensive weapon outside of QB be aware of our offensive struggles and care with all his heart about the issues. Rather than our #1 guy just being a Yes man and toting the company line.. He's not just in it for the $. Diggs wants to win. How can you not love that Edited February 19, 2023 by JerseyBills 2 9 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Interesting. That comment about HC's playing a huge part in offensive scheme and Jefferson's HC being an "offensive guy" gives an inside look into how Digg's may view things here. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 He sees every day what the rest of us see for 3 hours on Sundays. And unlike some of the other players on the team, he's in a place where he can subtly call out his incompetent coach. You win with a mindset like Diggs' and lose with a mindset like Clappy's. Optics be damned. 1 3 2 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optics be damned. I still value McD and feel he's a great coach. He literally turned us from a 17 year drought , to being a consistent division winner and in the playoffs every year, while gutting basically the whole roster. McD deserves his credit but he just needs to shift his mindset when it comes to the offense. Looking back, I think it's a high possibility our O struggles came from Allens injury. Is it a coincidence that was the 9th week of the year? And Diggs says after week 9. So , I think it was alot of factors and possibly they changed the O after the injury. 10 minutes ago, TheBeaneBandit said: McDermott needed his a** called out imo.

The Wiz Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I question if it was a shot at McD or not. If anything McD would have more input on the defense than the offense being a defensive HC. Do we really think that McD is stepping in on Dorsey and making calls for him like he did with Frazier a few years ago? Just a thought.

Looking back I think he's just a tough s.o.b and the injury definitely impacted his play and possibly play calling , Carson Palmer. Same injury," Whitworth said when asked about Allen's injury, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Tried to come back and play. And then -- tried it out, didn't work, felt like he was too uncomfortable and then sat out the rest of the season." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Josh should have sat out 4 weeks after the partial UCL tear. The fact that he didn’t and we still were able to win games - man, what a friggin warrior. It definitely affected his accuracy and ability to make behind the LOS throws as those put more stress on the elbow, so the bubble screens and rare wheel route went out the window. There is a lot of good content out there breaking down why the Offense started to stall, especially Cover-1’s stuff. The main issue was as his elbow improved, Dorsey absolutely crapped the bed. The combo of Dorsey getting figured out and Josh getting hurt caused the lull after Week 9. Josh got better, Dorsey didn’t. Teams figured out Dorsey’s goto plays and so schemed to take away Josh’s first 2 reads. Since our O-line was a friggin sieve, especially Roger Turnstile Saffold, Josh never had the time to get further in the progression so it always looked like the play call was “Hey Josh, go make a play” Good play callers adjust to the defensive adjustments. Dorsey never did. Moving forward can he? Idk. We are going to find out. Without a significant overhaul of this horrendous offensive line I don’t think it matters who’s calling the plays.

There were things being spread about him putting his hands into what Daboll was trying to do as well, that having caused a rift between the two. It wouldn't surprise me if he was meddling again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shut up and dribble... I mean catch passes😎 Absolutely. Again, I believe the UCLA injury was a huge part but I remember watching a 20 min clip of our best plays and Diggs was an absolute monster prior to the injury Including that game , through 8 games, he had 7 tds and 4 100 yard gms The final 8 games, not counting Cincy which would've been 9, he had 4 TDs and 1 100 yard game.. Clearly something changed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 IDK if that was a shot at McDermott. People read way too much into player comments, as though he has written this out ahead of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if he was meddling again. Well if his getting his hands on on it were ""stop doing designed runs for josh" then I can agree with him. I guess it's just a question of how much he was getting involved otherwise. The biggest change everyone saw during the season was how we went from being good in short and intermediate passing and then just always going for the long ball. McD doesn't really seem like that kind of coach so that's why I wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Items hoot on my list in no particular order #1 We got away from it on the back end. Would you guys' attribute this to play calling? #2 "how we were winning was not as smooth." Nothing looked smooth those last 5 games.... #3 Season felt longer Many on this board used the word "Drained" I think this is what Diggs is referring to. #4 Could hardly hold back emotions when Hamlin was brought up. This shows train of thought and what was on their minds even on the last game. I guess my point here is... This team was way off track well before the playoffs and Hamlin was the cherry on top that did it for them. This only leads me to one question. WHY did they get away from what was working the first 8 games? Again the GB game comes to mind and that short throwing west coast type of offense was working. Why get away from something that was not broken? Last thought... Hamlin's injury is NOT why they lost that game... they lost cause somewhere during the middle of this season Buffalo lost their identity. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like incompetent poster. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
