Josh Allen: Assistant Offensive Coordinator?

[CincyBillsFan]

So this explains why Diggs has been so nice to Allen.

Anything would be better than Dorsey

You mean the rookie OC whose offense scored the second most ppg in the league last year?   Yeah he's no good.

This just tells me they’re loose. I hope not too loose.

Sure play scheme. BUT It would seem to me 17 is learning the sideline aspects, logistics, ops, execution steps. This can pay dividends week 1.

Allen sees things on the field that Dorsey doesn't. I'm quite sure that Josh didn't step on Dorsey's toes when he called a play. It's a testament to their relationship that it could happen the way it did.

QB calling plays and HC running the defense.

 

What could possibly go wrong??

I don't have a problem with the QB calling plays

coming soon, the J-Gun

 

 

It would be the D-Gun, if we're staying true to form.

Do mean A-Gun?

Anyone remember in 2009 when Dick Jauron, under renowned football mind and general manager Russ Brandon, decided to celebrate the 50th year of the Bills' existence by asking Trent Edwards to run a no-huddle offense? This happened. Alex Van Pelt was the offensive coordinator, and everyone was just kind of like "Hey, remember when the Bills were good? They ran a no-huddle! Perhaps we should run a no-huddle THIS year! It can't fail!"

It was a big deal. Articles were written. Predictions of a return to glory -- behind players like the newly signed Terrell Owens and second year breakout candidate James Hardy (RIP) and speedy tight end Sean Nelson -- were made. This all happened. I swear it wasn't just a fever dream. Here, let me find proof...

"New" No-Huddle Bills Resemble '90s Greats

Good gravy. What a time to be alive that was. THOSE were the days. Yes indeedy.

Maybe we can pay Josh $5 million to be QB and $50 million to be the Assistant OC Coordinator???  🤔

Nope. The K-Gun was named for tight end Keith McKeller. So the new "Gun" name would be for Dawson or Dalton. It could be both, which would make it the DD-Gun. And I think many would agree, double-D is better than D.

Everything I can find says the K Gun was named for Jim Kelly.

You have ONE blog article citing the K-Gun being other than Jim Kelly. You'll need more than that to convince me.

Yes it happened - a monumentally stupid coaching decision to plan for a no huddle offense with the personnel at hand. To this day, I haven't understood what Jauron saw in the players you think this would work. It failed, miserably

Whether you're convinced or not, it is considered an historical fact that the K was indeed in reference to Keith McKeller.

Even the official Buffalo Bills website attributes the K-gun to Jim Kelly. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/dec-2-in-bills-history-the-birth-of-the-k-gun-offense-14479530

There is nothing in that article that says the K was for Kelly.
