NoName Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 To me, Trent Edwards appears to be an ideal fit in the West Coast Offense. If he is going to be our QB of the future, why not have a West Coast Offensive philosophy? After all, that is what he ran in college and Bill Walsh gave Trent Edwards the big thumbs up. I see no reason not to employ it

I see no reason not to employ it sure. That makes sense. Maybe we can run the Flying Wedge when Fitzpatrick is running the show too.

I see no reason not to employ it The Bills essentially do try to run of version of the WCO, only poorly. Now that they have two WRs and maybe a TE (Nelson) along with three pass-catching RBs, it may take off. The WCO was specifically designed to be an antidote to the Tampa 2 defense (pressure the QB and play zone pass defense), which is now going obsolete except in Indy, Buff, Bears, but it still is an answer to not having time to throw, for whatever reason.
Billistic Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Also, the Bills haven't been able to run block for the last several years, and the WCO gives the LBs and safeties something to think about other than making tackles at the line of scrimmage.
ACor58 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 sure. That makes sense. Maybe we can run the Flying Wedge when Fitzpatrick is running the show too. It worked in the Mighty Ducks movie

NoName Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 I am not necessarily saying when they should implement it...obviously I am not expecting to see the team go WCO next week ....... I am just saying in theory if this is the guy to build around, why aren't we headed into that direction of the WCO......I think the first thing that jumps out at you about Trent Edwards is that he is an ideal West Coast QB.......if the no huddle thing works out then forget everything I am saying.....but when I think of T Edwards, I think of WEst Coast Offense.....just something to throw out there

I see no reason not to employ it I actually think that's what we're doing. Seems like the Bills are running a lot more quick passes--i.e., slants, passes to the backs, etc. It's not west coast, but the principles are similar.
