Past Bills teams' Offensive Plays you would like to see Dorsey incorporate in 2023 Bills offense

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

I believe this was used in the Bullough era.

A screen pass that works.

 

I came to say Chan Gailey drawing up screens

Lol. I think you’re actually serious with this post. “Plays that work.”

No, its a joke. It drives me nuts that the same fans who yelled about Tyrod not pushing the ball down the field now want Josh to start checking the ball down. They want what they don't have. Also, every play that doesn't work was the wrong call by the OC. It's never a good defensive play.

The reason I laugh at fans complaining about Dorsey is because fans complained about Daboll. I know because I defended Daboll here. 
 

One of the hardest things to do is replace a top player or coach. The reason is because expectations are at an unrealistic level. Daboll had a top 3 offense so those are the expectations. Dorsey met those expectations but he wasn’t perfect. The offense had some flaws. Improved in some areas but declined in some areas.
 

We might see a similar situation with McDermott taking over for Frazier. Unless the defense looks much more improved there will be criticism, even if it’s a top 5 defense.

 

Same thing for the next head coach if McDermott were let go. Our expectations will be so high. Super Bowl or bust. The next coach won’t have a honeymoon period.

I was thinking similarly.  I couldn't diagram them but I remember Chan drew up some short passes for CJ to get easy completions and give Spiller some space.  I'd like to see that with Cook.

The counter trey with Thurman Thomas.

 

The deep post to Andre Reed.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Anything that Thurman caught out of the backfield…he was such a dual threat, and I can totally envision Cook taking that on as well. Check all the tapes of Thurm against Miami, Dorsey!!!

It was crazy how good Fred was at runs up the middle and just how incredible Shady was off tackle. It doesn’t seem feasible that the guys we have now are that much worse…I don’t know why we can’t block up anything run wise. The players on this teams are much better then those drought era Bills teams….we can we never spring any decent runs? It’s been years now. And we have an actual passing game that puts fear in a defense. If anything we should be able to run almost at will.

2004 Bledsoe fake QB sneak swing pass to McGahee for the 31 yard TD on 4th down vs. Seattle.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Not a bills scheme exactly but I’d love to see move option football. I’m not talking zone read and RPOs…but old school load and veer options especially in the RZ. That’s OG football at it’s finest imo 

[mabden]

The Counter Trey with Thurman Thomas

[maddenboy]

not to derail the idea of the thread (which i like)

 

i would love for Dorsey to ask Diggs to choose 2 plays per week.  One for when we are winning and one for when we are losing.  And promise him i will call at least one of them every single week.

 

then i would remind him that, as a team leader and Captain, he should sometimes give me plays that dont go to him.

In their prime on offense 

Beast Mode 

Eric Moulds 

Sam Gash

Shady

 

I know it's a offense thing but it's raining & i'm bored 

 

On Defense

Arron Schobel

London Fletcher

Ted Washington

Mario Williams 

 

[billybob71]

when we played in our yard as kids (it was not to flat) our two main pass plays....  post downhill and post uphill 

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Jet motion into speed option.  You can either hand off or the jet motion player blocks, and then you have the pitch option to the running back.

Or crap execution by the offensive players. When plays fail on offense or defense it is always the coordinator's fault. I learnt that here. 

[corta765]

I personally liked that time Bledsoe ran a 7 yard bootleg but that is just me

[golfball323]

Josh and Isaiah Mckenzie had the jet motion "drop pass" perfected. That was a staple of our offense two years ago that simply vanished. Would like to see it come back
