The thing that is always missed about Ben Johnson is how well he schemes the run game. I think he is Greg Roman level good as a run game coordinator.

They will never do this but I would be for it.

And he has played great in pre-season action. Hopefully we see it Sunday. I am high on him.

That is true, but Dak is also just better than people ever want to think he is. He is not elite, but he has consistently been in that next tier of guys pretty much his whole career and people talk about him like he is Kirk Cousins or Bengals Andy Dalton level or something.

They will pay him.

Meh. I'd have released Keon first.

It essentially means: Offense don't turn it over. Defense get off the field on 3rd down. Special teams win the field position battle. So far this season we are not doing a great job at any of the 3.

Yea, I very strongly disagree.

The boldes us exactly how I feel about Joe Brady though. If I am moving on at OC it has to be for a proven upgrade. Waldron and Marcus Brady are not that. I'd take Joe Brady over both.

On Brady, he was fired after less than two years as the Colts OC. Then the Chargers offense the last two years is hardly a passing juggernaut. As for Waldron.... I mean I think you can blame him for the offense. He really struggled to design a scheme for a QB who didn't want to play entirely from the pocket. And he had weapons. As I said I thought they should have interviewed him when they hired Joe as their permanent guy. But he wouldn't be on my interview list now if we had a vacancy.

If the Bills are hiring a new Head Coach to maximise Josh I think it is possible. It isn't what I'd do to be clear, but I don't think it is impossible.

They are very tight.

I was not saying Josh picked them. But he actively advocated for both and that no question factored into the decisions. I suspect he would advocate for whoever the internal candidate is next time too, whoever it is.... UNLESS he felt he had a legit shot of getting Daboll back. That's his guy and I think he'd pound the table.

I agree on the value point and I agree the OC decision will come a lot down to Josh (the last two already did). But if he is banging the table for Daboll as OC I am not sure that is sustainable if McDermott and Beane remain. I am not sure he is going to go to war for Dabes yet. I don't think it is off the table that Daboll is the next Bills Head Coach though.

Agree. I think that drive was the one drive on Thursday where you can question the scheme and the coaching. Not sure I agreed with the Bills plan there. They were clearly trying to hold them to 3 from the off and made it way too easy for them to get chunks and ended up giving up a tuddy. The rest of that first half I put squarely on the defensive players who frankly should be ashamed of their effort. But that drive before half I did not like the calls or the concept for what the Bills were trying to do.
