Still useless in the redzone and why I will always scream when I see them. Planned Run Usage of Allen is non-existent this season and other teams see that too so at the end of the day the Shotgun Run is just a Shotgun run at this point.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 He locked on Diggs. Only 3 in the route.

People can scream at Dorsey all that they want, but his route concept produced a wide-open Shakir on that play. Josh chose to throw into double coverage instead. 1

I am about done with those. Rest of play calling you would be remised to scream about it at the broadcast angle. wait until the all 22 is out and we will see if the route concepts are producing open routes. Though I do question the progression build in certain route concepts. Like is Diggs always the first read and everything comes off that? The timing of everything just seems off. Out of sync, uncordinated.

Top of Drop. 10 wide open in the break that ball comes out then 10 is still running. Not to mention a led throw into the Endzone is a TD with Gabe as well as he had his man beat and the safety was in no position to get over top Edited October 16, 2023 by MAJBobby 1

I really enjoy Marino's indepth analysis, and will await the all 22. I'm sure Allen missed some throws, but I'd like to compare the number of throws he missed, to how many times was everyone covered up. The other thing I noticed last night was how bad our line pass protected. We made the Giants front seven look like the Jets front seven. McGovern's worst game as a Bill. He's been great, until last night.
BillsVet Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 6 minutes ago, Allen2Moulds said: I think we also have to account for the fact, that under Daboll, we had an inferior oline, mainly both guard positions. Teams knew we couldn't run it, and we still had success passing the ball at will. I think the front office is to blame as well. They have continually failed to replace the Beasley position. They have invested more on TE (Knox big contract) and a 1st round pick on Kincaid, than on WR. Where is our return investment? So much on offense under McBeane has been disorganized, even since Josh ascended into a franchise QB. Because for as much as this HC and GM were cited for re-establishing order into the organization after Rex and Doug, they don't seem to understand offense years into their tenure. From establishing a scheme/identity, staffing it, finding the coordinator, and adapting in-season...little has improved aside from finding the QB and trading for Diggs. I get the sense McD likes playing super DCoord now and abdicates offense even more to the OC than he did when Daboll was here That is, until something like last night happens and then he's asking questions. Can't have it both ways as a HC. 1 1

Dopey Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Some of you should listen to "One Bills Live" WGR550. Tasker and whoever his partner is give a good perspective on why Dorsey isn't to blame for that first half. It's ok to blame the players for lack of execution. And that first half was definitely on the players. 1

Exploiting other pinch points will open the game up for him eventually. And he'll still get his grabs.

I'll pass the message along. 😂 1
Eastport bills Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Ken made adjustments at halftime and Cook opened routes for Diggs and Knox. The problem with this offense is we have Josh getting flushed too often and Diggs is the guy that gets open so our other receivers are not involved. When we’re running the ball successfully, Josh can sit back and find secondary targets. It’s criminal that Sherfield and Kincaid are blanked every game. Harty can be productive also. We’re getting predictable again and Ken looks lost at times.

We run the same exact play all within the same drive and vs man he stares down diggs and throws the vertical when he got zone he went through his progressions. This isn't anything abnormal. Quarterbacks in the league do this all the time. To be clear I'm not saying this behavior isn't condoned, but it is going against the progression of the concepts.

Again you cannot say who is the primary read definitively without being in the build meetings. SO you can tell me to watch whatever film you want me to watch unless you are in the build meetings you cannot tell me who is the primary read for a single route, you can assume but that is it.

I mean it's cool if you don't want to believe me, but all concepts have built in reads/progressions. Those don't change based on what team is running them. Football is a game of rules and those rules are tied to the concept. 1

I can confirm this. Allen 100% relies on Diggs to get separation against man, but he finally works through progressions against zone.

Football is a game of rules and those rules are tied to the concept. Except they do. Example one Concept could have a Deep to Short Read progression based on the coverage shown, and flip the very next play. So YES they do change play to play defense to defense, script to script. So unless you are in those build meetings you can guess who the 1st read is, but as I said that is a guess. Guessing is fine too. But to say Allen is doing things on his own vs designed n the offense that is where I am calling for the proof. which you have yet to show. 3 minutes ago, Einstein said: I can confirm this. Allen 100% relies on Diggs to get separation against man, but he finally works through progressions against zone. I can only confirm Allen stays on Diggs way to long multiple times a game and it costs the team. So is that in the play design (doubt it) Is that Diggs saying feed me (doubt it) Is it Allen Trusts Diggs to make a play and get the needed play compared to his other weapons (absolutely)
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Two weeks in a row now the opposing team hit lofting the ball to an outside go with. Db draped all over him before safety help gets there. T-Law hit one to Ridley then Tyrod hit one on each sideline. Why is that not is the Bill arsenal?

Well apparently you can just trip our WRs so problem solved there, pity we never thought of that. 3
