Cover 1 breakdown of the Joe Brady Offense

[Scott7975]

 

Good stuff.  More of this please.

I’ll watch this tomorrow but for now what’s the summary?

 

During the live game it definitely looked like a lot more motion being used

It’s like we have an OC that knows what he is doing, and knows why he is doing it, yes one game, but damn nice to see.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Brady's been fired himself, and during the broadcast they mentioned that it taught him not to rely so much on the x's and o's and to understand his personnel better. 

 

I think Dorsey has the potential to put it all together. But we didn't have the luxury of waiting for him to figure it out.

The offense was everything many of us have been yelling for it to be for a year now.  Motion with purpose, screen passes, creativity, using Josh's legs, under center, getting our RB's, Kincaid, and Shakir more involved in the pass game, etc.  

 

Dorsey - Just called plays, not an offense.   

Brady - Was everything that Dorsey wasn't (in this 1 game at least)

 

Its one game, but it was an incredible start to the Joe Brady interim trial.  Now, we need to see consistency, we need to see the offense over come adversity, we need to see the adjustments if things aren't working, etc.  But I am a LOT more optimistic about next week than I was before we saw this change.  

 

That was a Jets D that gave us trouble last year and this year, also gave a lot of other good QB's trouble.  We jsut went out and put the highest score up the Jets have given up all season, and that is factoring in us taking the foot off the gas for the whole 4th quarter.  Most points we scored since Week 4 too.  

 

We need to win at least one, preferably both, against Eagles and KC these next 2 weeks to keep our playoff hopes realistic.  If we lose both, it would be very difficult to make the playoffs without help from other teams.  Win both and we will start looking like the best team in the AFC again.

It’s really depressing to think we wasted 10 weeks w Dorsey.

We will know better after the next few weeks if Brady will do any better. The route design/concepts looked mostly the same. Situational awareness was better. Better luck this week a well. Some close plays that went Bills way this week. My hope is they tweak the playbook slightly during the bye week. We have to do a better job at getting guys open. That may mean more "pick" routes or just better play design to spread the field. You can see it on tape that our route runners are going less than full speed on many routes as they are deciding what option to take on routes. So just need some quicker no read plays as well.

Great video. Learned a lot. Thx

[Buffalo Boy]

   When they showed Josh smiling in the first quarter I knew it was going to be a good day.

   If he could do that to this defense, there in hope.

   Having watched him suck in Carolina I wasn’t expecting much….

   Man, was I wrong. 

[Charles Romes]

Pump the brakes. Dorsey looked like the league’s number one HC candidate after the Rams game last year

it’s hard to do anything substantial in a normal week yet alone short ones coming off MNF. 
 

that the situational awareness and game flow improvement is all you could hope for and it did. He’s not reworking the playbook with the team at Wednesday practice

Until I saw the last replay of Shakir's TD, I didn't realize that Kincaid took out three defenders with one block - and that block set Shakir free for the TD.

That was a great block by the rookie

The difference between Dorsey and Brady is like the difference between someone who cooks by following a recipe vs. someone who simply knows how to cook. 
 

Sure, the guy who reads the recipe step by step as he’s cooking can make an adequate dish…but he could also botch it because he’s busy reading step 3 while his unwatched pot is boiling over. Plus, his dish won’t be very original. And heaven forbid things get off schedule or go off script. 
 

A seasoned chef simply knows how to cook…knows how ingredients work together, when to adjust the heat, when to add a pinch of salt. And he can improvise and adapt…he can adjust on the fly or put a totally unique twist on the dish. He has command of his kitchen at all times. 
 

Dorsey wasn’t awful at cooking up an offense…it just felt like he was learning how to do the job on the fly.

They wasted a year and a half on him. He had no plan B against a lot of teams. Little or no run game, and very little under-center PA. He was turning Josh Allen into Sam Darnold.

This post may be the most accurate and well worded breakdown I've seen. Very nice post.

So far what I appreciate from Brady is that he's had a stint at being OC before, there's a certain wisdom that you gain from climbing the mountain only to fall down and having to start over which Dorsey is only experiencing now. Failure is often life's greatest teacher.

[Coach Tuesday]

Maybe Erik’s best video.

It was, and DK was at the Bills' 35-yard line when Shakir made the catch. Kincaid then ran all the way to the Jets' 20 - probably 40 to 45 yards, considering the angle - to make that block.
