Italian Bills Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I mean: why aren’t we able to run screen plays more often ? What’s the problem with that ? 2 Quote
Warcodered Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Defenses are terrified of Josh running around the side. 2 1 Quote

Not that I know more than he does but I’m not sure I buy that. I can’t remember the last bills team to run a good screen in recent memory Quote

I can’t remember the last bills team to run a good screen in recent memory That's like a chicken and the egg question, what good Bills offense are you wondering about before Josh was the QB? 1 Quote

I mean our pulling/trap game has been excellent, but that does not translate to screens. We have seen RBs in the pass game though on blitz beaters. 1 Quote
mikemac2001 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I think teams spy Josh so much when we go to screens it gets blown up bc they are just sitting there in perfect position 2 3 Quote

Except even the ones using a couple wide receivers almost always fail. Allens ball placement is part of it, not certain of the rest. Quote

You also need a defense that is all coming up the field. And the way teams play Josh that is rare. And Josh's placement on those shorter throws isn't elite IMO. If a receiver has to hesitate to secure the catch it means your element of surprise has gone. EDIT: combination of all of those factors IMO. Edited January 14 by GunnerBill 4 1 Quote

We have a bunch of great athletes on the line ... Dawkins is a pulling machine and super athletic, Spencer Brown is an Athletic freak , Mitch Morse is one of the more athletic centers in the NFL... Our only phone booth is Torrence Teams don't try and over rush the bills because Josh will kill you for lack of gap integrity... Theu generally try to contain the edge which also hampers screens Quote
rajinka Posted January 14 Posted January 14 My take is they think we're awesome at them but flabbergasted when they don't work in game. Every week in practice we probably take every screen to the house against our crappy screen D. 1 1 Quote
Stroke 17 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Much more concerned with stopping the screen. The pitts passing game is all about short screens to backs and wr's' 1 Quote
Governor Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Josh doesn’t throw short, soft touch passes well. 2 Quote

Augie Posted January 14 Posted January 14 2 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: Middle screen I was just thinking that. I’d like to see them try it, I think? It seems like so much of the pressure comes up the middle. Now, is that harder to execute? Is there some other reason that’s a bad idea? IDK Quote
