Well, Henderson looked worse than Mills in the preseason, by far.

The problems are obvious. The solutions are not. I might try: More designed runs for Taylor, like QB draws, read options and maybe even QB sweeps. More reverses and screens to Tate, who can run after catch. A limited package for Peterman, who is a better scheme fit, to play 5 to 10 plays per game. It will open up a part of their current playbook that they just can't use right now and will be helpful keep opponents off balance. It will also help to evaluate Peterman and give him experience. 1 or 2 gimmick plays per game, like a flea flicker or throw back pass, to try and get a big play and reduce the need for a long drive. I would probably avoid fake punts because those can hurt the defense. 3 or 4 all streaks type plays where they go deep to try and stretch the defense regardless of coverage. Maybe the get lucky, maybe they don't but at least they put in into the defense's minds and if it's intercepted then it's probably as good as a punt.

That would be a Doug Whaley - Rex Ryan move, but I dont see Beane - McDermott doing it.

Now we're getting somewhere. I like it.

Because there was obviously a reason besides ability that he was cut. Not sure what it is but there had to be.

No kidding. Damn. Puts my week into perspective.

Awesome. How will they allow him to see over the 6'-8" defensive lineman? Maybe have the Lilliputian OL punch them in the groin so the double over?

Yeah, Dawkins. I don't think Watkins is either but that's not pertinent.

I suspect Groy will look much like he did in 2015 if he get's in there instead of last season, just like Miller. It would be worth finding out though. Also, I don't know if Dawkins at RT is better than Mills at this point. Last season Kouandjio looked good, Groy looked good, Miller looked good...

Why did his play fall off a cliff under the new coaching staff and scheme? Are they maximizing his abilities and putting him in a position to succeed? Doesn't seem like it unless he suddenly forgot how to block.

Well the refs ruined this game. They were the most influential people on the field with several questionable calls. Good job.

If Dareus would lose some weight and get back into peak fitness he could replace Williams at 3 technique when he retires. He wasn't anywhere near this big when he was drafted. At this size, he is basically a 2 down DL and is splitting those reps with Thornton and/or Worthy, so not much playing time and limited impact.

Like an common sense adviser telling him not to film himself doing things like this.

Other than that, they did great!

It's like going to a gun fight with a knife. They have very little to work with right now.

Why is this a more likely explanation than it being Tyrod's fault?

I thought passing for low yardage is good? This thread is confusing.

Groy. The will need Dawkins at LT for when Glenn leaves at half time.

Sounds like an arguement for last years offense to me. In fact, we heard this exact thing from Lynn at his PCs.

Right? Time to look for an alternative career.

lol. Me too. Damn.

The posters who only use the shout box arent bad people, lol. Thats just the feature they find value in. Im not one of them, obviously, as I frequent both the box and the threads. As was mentioned in previous posts, the shout box brings members together, enhancing the sense of community, reduces redundant thread creation, and attracts users who dont use other site features. You will have to decide how important these things are to your vision of TBD.

There are several good posters that only use the shout box. I suspect they would simply stop frequenting the site without it, which would be disappointing.

But he wasn’t playing like a dud UNTIL he got the top ranked money.

The Bills would have to pay someone to take him, like the Texans did with Osweiler. It's just not worth it.
