if that news comes out that he chose us over NE i'll definitely feel more confident about this. it's a nice story that the local boy comes home to coach his favorite team

well then if he chose us over the Pats then he's an idiot so i have even further concerns!

Right, I was just saying that this would have been a better OC for Tyrod but now we are moving on from him so I was hoping for someone with more of a history of working with quality QB's at the NFL level and have had some kind of success. I'll say this about Daboll. If he is such a great up and coming OC then why wouldn't Belichick want him back in NE? They are losing perhabs their entire offensive coaching staff this offseason. Don' t you think Belichick would bring him back to NE if he was so great?

Daboll learned what he knows from Charlie Weis and has limited experience and success. I'm not sure why they didn't just hire Charlie Weis. Belichick and Saban are butt buddies so it made sense when Daboll ended up there and was obviously not their first choice as OC but then Kiffin left (on bad terms) and they needed someone quick and Daboll had NFL experience so it was an obvious choice. I don't see him as any kind of great up and coming coordinator though and he has yet to show any kind of creativity or genius. I'm not too thrilled but again we don't have a QB anyhow so I understand why they wanted a power run game coordinator and they will figure out the passing part later

in Dennison's system it is all about footwork. 1-2-3 throw. there's no improvisation or guess work. the guy breaks at the same time your back foot plants and you are throwing before you see he is open. Tyrod is completely incapable of running that type of offense because 1) poor footwork 2) needs to see the receiver open before he is willing to throw. Tyrod is like a backyard QB who wants to scramble around and make big plays when all you need is the simple play. it was never going to work. In Daboll's system, at least at Bama, they do a lot of power read. Off that you can run play action and roll outs. You are reading the opposite side backer/end and if he gets sucked inside there's a lot you can do off of that including option or waggle. Tyrod prefers to be out of the pocket so 1) he can see 2) he can attack the line of scrimmage. by rolling out or moving the pocket he is in his comfort zone to make plays. The passing tree combos are also very basic and leaves a lot open for improvisation. It's not timing based and there's only a few concepts to learn. It was a much better system for Tyrod to be in but now he's going bye bye please see the above. i've run different styles of both and at the very least have been taught the basics of them all

the truth is like that unfortunately. when people agree with it they are ok but when it goes against the grain then people get upset. i have to post my true feelings so sometimes it's going to rub people the wrong way. sometimes the truth hurts and it's unfortunate because i love this team. i posted similar things when they hired Dennison and we saw how that turned out. Dennison was the assistant to the guy with the mediocre offense, a system in which Tyrod was not suited for. it was pretty obvious what the outcome would be. Tyrod would actually be better with Daboll but we are getting rid of him. I see Daboll as a bridge OC until we get a real QB, at which point we can then hopefully implement a real NFL passing attack, so it is what it is until then i guess. i have very low expectations for this offense in 2018 as a result

as the TE coach, pretty much the lowest spot on the offensive totem pole besides the guys they pay to deflate the footballs

dont care as long as it's not the Pats!

gave up ours after the Flutie fiasco. coincidentally we hadn't been to the playoffs since until this year, which barely counts. lots of bad football between then and now. you haven't missed much. it's fun to go to a couple of games in the beginning of the year when there is hope and excitement. if we somehow got a QB i could be persuaded to buy again but until then i much prefer watching those cold games on tv

i was being facetious I don't like the hire because I wanted someone with a complex NFL level passing attack. I realize we don't have the QB for that but I want to dream that we could find one. Hopefully once they do we can get a new OC

or we could have started Peterman and got it for free. hmmmmmmmmmmmm

maybe we can get Jalen Hurts next year and complete 5 passes per game. we ran that kind of offense in high school. exciting stuff!

Hahaha

Hard to get excited about this hire. Those that like it want to believe he is some innovative young college OC. He called plays for 1 season at the college level and if you are excited about that then you didn't watch any Alabama football. I literally did not want to watch them many times because of how boring their games are. He is way more NFL retread than anything, most well known as the OC of the worst offensive attack in the entire league for 2 seasons in Cleveland. He also quickly wore out his welcome in KC where many described his play calling as horrible. He has super bowl rings as an assistant with the Patriots. Everyone does. The guys that deflated the footballs do too. Even Vladamir Putin has one. Nothing exciting about that. If you are associated with the Pats you are going to get rings. Doesn't mean squat. The Bills needed an OC to bring an NFL level passing attack and make us a legitimate offensive threat. What we got is a retread with a horrible reputation for calling plays and whose only success was with a team that ran the ball every play and won with defense (sound familiar?). Pardon me for not being excited with this hire but we are going to regret this and we will be looking for another OC after next season. Absolutely zero continuity is a good way to ruin a young QB and keep us in .500 purgatory forever

And the Pats win the Super Bowl because they have a QB and nobody else that's left does. Isn't the goal to win the Super bowl?

for 2 min before that throw i was swearing at the tv because of how bad he is. it was 1 good throw and an even better job from the wr to take it to the house. not interested in him as a QB

erie county holding center?

where's the proof? what did he say?

And you aren't allowed to post this? I'd like to know please

I like stories about LeBron James telling Sully off. Let them know we mean business in Buffalo!

Was he drafted by Whaley? Then he's a bum get him out of here!!!

Jim Kelly

lol for a second i thought maybe i clicked on an archived thread or something. then i realized he is a Bengals fan just visiting

I just saw you are a Bengals fan. We did not bring EJ back last year. He is the backup for the Raiders now. He played pretty poorly in 2 games for them when Derek Carr got injured. Our QB has been Tyrod Taylor for the past 3 seasons and he is also not very good. He probably won't be back next year and we will probably sign a veteran plus draft someone. At this point, we would gladly take Dalton off your hands. He is pretty popular around here lately

i'd say his future with the Bills does not look good
