"Scheme: Daboll is influenced by Josh McDaniels’ Erhardt-Perkins style offense which he's modified to be multiple (borrows plays from several other concepts) and opponent specific. It's a spread offense with lots of different formations, pre-snap motion, and Play Action (abbreviated as PA as we continue). Run blocking utilizes multiple schemes (Zone, Gap, Duo)." https://fantasydata.com/all-32-nfl-coaching-schemes-for-the-2021-season Interesting stuff. We don't want a Greg Roman scheme! Matt Nagy: Scheme: Nagy uses a variant of the KC/Reid-WCO but does not tailor to the talent on the roster. Nagy wants to spread the field and run RPO’s. Outside zone runs and PA bootlegs were a staple last year with Lazor calling plays, but if they go shotgun spread this year, the inside zone should return (what Nagy called in 2019).

Go be a Giants fan then... I was commenting on the current situation of that team...and even you agreed with it. It is funny.

The comment you quoted that I made was..."What a tough place to be a head coach!" I stand by my comment, because it is... Funny stuff as someone mentioned, "They need a rebuild, they are in terrible cap situation for a lousy team."

Yes, and while Parcells was first time HC with a legend for his DC. He also had George Young as GM. Coughlin had 8 years exp as HC. Daboll is a rookie HC with a rookie GM, both taking over a franchise that hasn't had a winning season for 5 years. 3-13, 5-11, 4-12, 6-10, 4-13. Bottom of the division for awhile now. Currently 31st ranked offense in 2021. Defense 20th or so. Tell me about how the last two NY Giants head coaches did, Joe Judge, Pat Shurmur...

Buffalo went to 4 super bowls. Granted the Giants won 4 and lost one under Jim Fassel. Bill Parcells won 2x of those with Bill Belichick as his DC. Tom Coughlin 2x had a decent tenure with the Jags (8 seasons) as their HC before getting hired as the Giants HC

Buh Bye Brian...not lyin, I'm not cryin... What a tough place to be a head coach!

If Dorsey stays in Buffalo...Daboll will have an excuse as to why he failed. If I'm not mistaken Kirby Jackson let it slip that Daboll was one of the highest paid coordinators in the NFL a few years ago. It was rumored he got a raise last season.

Guess we'll see. Josh Allen stated he really like Dorsey and I have difficulty in believing that someone would turn down the offer to run Buffalo's offense with Allen over the NY Giants with Daniel Jones...under Daboll...

Dorsey will be the Bills new OC. I gotta wonder how long Daboll will last with the Giants when he doesn't turn Daniel Jones into another Josh Allen? Guess we'll see. 😝

While I think that Miami is an option for Daboll. I wonder if he really wants to face the Bills and Patriots 2x a season. The NY Giants are looking at both Daboll and Frazier...who knows. Denver and Chicago out of the Picture, Houston, Jacksonville, Raiders, Miami, Giants, Minnesota, NO Saints.

At this point I'm still trying to figure out which assistant I dislike more... Frazier and his effed up defense for those 13 seconds... in rushing four and having the secondary concerned about the sidelines. Meanwhile Hill, Kelce run free. What bother me most is the Bills know how to stop Mahomes from passing as they did in 2021 where KC ran all over them. Dime defense and cover the receivers in making the Chiefs run the ball. They have no excuses for this royal Eff up. I'm hoping Frazier gets hired by some team. OTOH, had the Bills been able to muster an offense against the Patriots in that wind storm, score more than 6 points against the Jags. More than 16 points against the Steelers in the opener. 13 wins would have given the Bills home field and a bye. It won't hurt at all to see a guy get hired away. The Bills have a good RB and a decent O line...finally! I wonder why it took most of the season to find them? While Singletary looks to be more then enough to help this offense score. I just can't imagine how good that run game would be with Najee running the ball... What we saw was the that the Bills are short on solid backups for the O line and we don't know if C Mitch Morse will be back for 2020. Better LT, OG backups are needed too. While Levi Wallace played well this season. I gotta think the Bills will still be making moves to find his replacement again. A supreme pass rusher would certainly help the defense. Lastly, is Star gonna be back for 2022? I'm thinking Beane is going to be working overtime to improve this team this offseason.

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2022-nfl-free-agency-rankings-edge-defenders 1. Chandler Jones 2. Vonn Miller 3.Clowney 4. Randy Gregory 5. Emmanuel Ogbah 6. Melvin Ingram 7. Haanson Reddick Last season the Bills missed on JJ Watt as he chose the money and Arizona. Good thing too as he only played in 7 games with ONE SACK in 2021 Chandler Jones had 10.5 sacks for the Cards and played in 15 games. 10 years in the NFL. Khalil Mack played in 7 games too and had 6 sacks. New HC is a defensive minded guy in Colts DC Matt Eberflus. Kinda doubt he will want to give up one of his best pass rushers. The guys hasn't had double digit sacks since 2018, 12.5 sacks, 2019 8.5 sacks, 2020, 9 sacks, 2021, 6 sacks. Also, please stop with this idea of obtaining an oft injured RB. The guy is an over paid bust in NY, so lets leave him there! The Rams gave up a 2nd and 3rd round pick plus Denver are a chunk of his contract, 9 mill. 17 mill per...is he worth that now as 6th best edge? On another note, didn't the Buffalo Bills pay 100 mill to DE Mario Williams and have the #1 pass rush, best D line in the league in 2014? 9-7...

Everyone thinking Aaron Rodgers now to Denver...John Elway have a hand in this I wonder? Denver is not the only team looking for a top QB. Saints, NY Giants (with Daboll as HC?) or the Pittsburgh Steelers...Or If Daboll takes the Miami job he goes after Rodgers...

Leave those to Baker Mayfield... Josh has bigger fish

I know, he sucks. Still, another poster was gloating about how good the guy was in 2017 going 10-6 under Hackett as OC. Then, the very next season fell on his face. My point was, Hackett didn't develop Bortles into even a decent backup QB and was promptly fired by the guy whos coattails he was riding in the first place. My take is that Packers HC Matt LaFleur must be laughing himself silly over the prospect of Hackett becoming an NFL HC.

I agree. GB HC Matt LaFluer wanted a figurehead as OC who wouldn't get in his way while he ran the offense. Gonna be interesting.

Hackett in Jacksonville had Blake Bortles as his QB...how did that work out? He develop Bortles into a star QB or get fired?

What happened with Trent in Buffalo was a product of what happens when you get drafted by a bad team. Dick Jauron as HC. Turk Schonert as OC. Where is Turk now? Last I knew he was in the CFL (2018) as receivers coach. Concussions ended that kids NFL career.

Man, I gotta tell ya... I'll feel so bad for Rodgers if he does go to Denver with that turd as HC. Without Rodgers in Denver they will be the new Jacksonville Jaguars. I also wonder if Rodgers screwed GB on purpose this season as he doesn't like their GM and wanted out. Gonna be interesting for sure.

Well, he did get Kubiak to be his HC (who used to be his backup) Hired Wade Phillips as his DC. Found a way to bring in QB Peyton Manning to win a SB. Elway hired in 2011. Denver stunk previously with Josh McDaniel's as HC. Hired John Fox and Denver went from 4-12 to lost Div in 2011, lost Div 2012, lost SB, lost Div, won SB in 2015. The Denver owner (Pat Bowlen) passed on in 2019 and ownership has been in disarray ever since.

This is hilarious! He didn't call the plays in GB

Shhhh, just let it happen! Perhaps NY Ginats, Stinky fish for one of them. Bears, Saints, Miami, Denver, Raiders, Vikings, Jags, Texans...any of them.

Just some thoughts here. When you think about how much experience those two coordinators have in the NFL there should be no reasons / excuses for the type of failure we all saw this season...on offense and defense! That 6-9 Buffalo loss game against the Jacksonville Jaguars comes to mind first. Four sacks on Josh Allen and under heavy duress all game. 47 pass attempts vs 9 runs by the RBs. This against the 30th ranked defense. When the passing game isn't working...just keep passing? I'm haunted by that loss to a 1-6 team...(remember everyone posting about how bad the Buffalo Bills O line is and how bad the Bills RB's were back then?) Yes, the Bills O line was playing poorly at that time...but 6 points? (If one or two O line players can make this much difference... the Bills had better find more talent for that line this off season!) The Jags were literally destroyed later in the season by the Patriots with a rookie QB, 50-10. That Colts game was a complete embarrassment, humiliation... at that hands of a bum of a QB in Carson Wentz who only completed 11 passes out of 20 for 106 yards. The Bills defense gave up 32 rushes for 185 rush yards, 4 TDs to Colts RB Taylor and 41 points. MNF against the Patriots in a loss, 10-14. Pats RB Damien Harris, 10 carries for 111 yards, 1 TD. That's a 11.1 yard per carry average. That sound like a #1 defense? At that time Frazier stated that if you can't stop a RB with the same players in a stacked box...then there is nothing else you can do. However, that changed later in the season when faced against another strong run team the defense did swap out smaller players for bigger Bills defenders, and did much better at stopping the run. I'm thinking McD had a say in the change of mind. 13 seconds left in regulation, with a 94.3% Buffalo chance to win on the kickoff in that game against the Chiefs. NVM the kick. What freaking defense were the Bills in that allowed both Hill and Kelce to be that wide open for 19, 25 yards respectively to allow that FG?

Kinda like Russ Brandon... Every time I talked about how he was messing with the football side of the team... a dozen posters here would jump all over me. And now, seems like they are all now gone...like him, Thankfully! The guy was magical with the Buffalo Bills passing offense at times. The problem is there is a whole lot more to an offense, so yea!

Traded up to draft this... Traded away Tyrod Taylor for a 3rd! W000000000! Drafts have been terrible? Traded a #1 pick for WR Stephon Diggs! Gabe Davis, 2020 4th round pick who just did something that WR Jerry Rice never did, catch 4 TDs in the playoffs. The Bass master with a 6th pick. CB Dane Jackson with a 7th who was out there playing in that playoff game. Dawson Knox who is gaining notoriety as a top TE. 3rd round pick. Devin Singletary who most wanted replaced up until a few games ago has been doing well...since he has been properly utilized. Most drafts take at least three years before we actually see what the players develop into. Attempting to draft a pass rusher over paying 12-17 million per for one makes an awful lot of sense to me.
