Dorian Williams in the Hoecht/Lorax role?
transplantbillsfan replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Shaq Thompson is at best the same size as Dorian Williams. I actually think he's smaller. -
good point. Beane would have blown right past Jefferson as he ran to the podium to draft Noah Igbinoghene or Jeff Gladney.

Bills don't "need" a WR, they need to use the ones they have better
oldmanfan replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is other teams are playing two safeties deep. That will minimize the deep throws so many are calling for. What I’d like to see are more crossing routes in the intermediate zone to get WRs open more, particularly Coleman. But that’s nit picky; it’s hard to argue with the success of the offense thus far this year. -
James Cook, and the Underrated Value of Running Backs
BillsShredder83 replied to Magox's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think he'd need a true #1 on the field with him to pull it off. Could very well be wrong. Dont see him get the volume of catches you'd like to see over the middle/underneath. I miss Cole Beasley! Absolutely not crapping on Khalil either, I love what he brings -
Hot Take: “Old Joe” Flacco exposing what some (including me) suspected…

Agreed on Thompson and Epenesa. Thompson is a more than adequate reliever for Bernard or Milano. When Hoecht went down the pressure went up for Epenesa to be productive so Buffalo can manage Bosa's reps properly

Same for any privately held company. The only ones who the valuation really has significance to are investors and the company has had no trouble raising a quick 1/2 billion in 2 rounds of funding.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Beane sounded really disappointed that he wasn't able to make a move yesterday...that teams decided to hang onto players rumored to be available. Then he said he won't stop and reminded the questioner that Jordan Phillips was not on the Bills at the trade deadline last year yet played in the playoffs.

That's not true. They were definitely taking a WR that year. They decided to take the sure thing instead of the lottery ticket. Considering how well Diggs paid off I'm not remotely upset at them over it. To me the more depressing "what if" scenario is when we took Cody Ford over AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and Terry McLaurin. That was Beane's biggest whiff IMO. Epecially since it isn't just hindsight, Brown and Metcalf in particular were seen as great prospects with uncoachable physical traits.

Dorian Williams in the Hoecht/Lorax role?
boyst replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't think he's big enough nor atheltic enough. Shaq Thompson should play that role. If Milano gets healthy again and Bernard can stay on the field a hybrid nickel with Thompson playing that role is the best bet. Hoecht was going to be the DE/LB. I don't see Williams having enough ass to set the edge or -

He also seems to have a solid knack as a spy - and running QBs have absolutely killed us for years. -

For me I want to see if the D has turned the corner and if it has, does that change how the O operates going forward? For example let us say Buffalo is leading 21-10 at the half against Miami and receives the 3rd quarter kick off. We are in control of the game. Are we going to continue running Cook and control the clock or are we going to try and get some true chemistry between Josh and the boundary wide receivers? Is McDermott going to be able to accept a 3 and out going 5 yard short pass, 2 yard run, incompletion, punt after only gaining 7 yards versus a constant barrage of 6 yard runs, wide receiver screens to Shakir plus the usual TE catches eating up the clock for 8 minutes and having to settle for a FG to be up 24-10. I think having a defense that is confident and playing well and stopping the opposing regularly might give the offense a chance to shift somewhat should they want to. I think Palmer and Moore should be a true part of the offense going forward and everyone is then genuinely eating. If our D becomes leaky again we stick to the established formula/template that we have done so far. I have no problem with Buffalo defeating opponents off the back of Kincaid, Shakir and Cook and the primary 3 skill players but I am guessing that we will need Palmer, Moore, Coleman, Samuel and potentially Gabe Davis to shoulder some of the burden to get the W come January and February. -
Or maybe he's fat and outa shape sitting at home and we're watching the clone on TV!

Dorian Williams in the Hoecht/Lorax role?
BuffaloBillyG replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I pointed out earlier in the week that there were a few guys that could combine and take snaps in the Hoecht roll. Williams was one of them. I also think AJE could see some of those snaps as well as Shaq. I don't think anyone on our roster currently can slip I to that role. Proof being, before Hoecht came back we weren't running the same formations. Those ones with no DT and Hoecht in the middle standing. I think he just has a special skill set. -

They literally lead the NFL in explosive plays. -
Dorian Williams in the Hoecht/Lorax role?
GunnerBill replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am open to the idea. Dorian's issue at linebacker is his play recognition, lane discipline and positioning. Get him lined up on or close to the line of scrimmage on passing downs and just use his physical gifts going forward. That is kind of how we used Lorax under Sean in 2017 and 2018. -

Rigotz replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
The piece you're missing with Dorian is pass rush skills. Lorax and Hoecht have significantly better pass rush skills and were significantly larger. You need a person who can actually play on the line, not a 225lb linebacker. -
He might have a clone of himself in the works already.

Are Samuel and Moore drawing CB4 when they are split out wide? Pretty sure they are still drawing the defenses top cover guys.
