    Coordinator Options for 2024

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Josh was a guest on Tom Brady's SiriusXM and both acknowledged that the Bills run the Patriot offense. Dabol was there a long time and incorporated it here.  I don't know if he would go against his old boss and as a head coach, he didn't succeed, but as an OC with multiple Super Bowls, Josh McDaniel could be good.

     

    At the same time, if you saw McD and Dabol not shake hands after the Giants game, it's no secret that Dabol didn't listen to McD and ran the offense his way and was successful.  It looks like Dorsey is a Yes Man to McD's demands.  The D's injuries are in McD's head.  He wants the offense to slow down and the chew clock to keep the D off the field as much as possible and it's not working. He has to allow the offense to play to its strengths and stop stifling offensive tempo and momentum.

    I wonder what caused it? Could it have been prevented or is it hereditary?

    Plain and simple.  It's his diet and likely lack of exercise.  One of the leading causes of heart attack and stroke is a diet consisting of meat, oil, sugars. As hard as it is to hear, we don't eat enough greens, legumes (beans) and fruits and eat way too much artery clogging foods. Sad but true. Study after study shows what the Standard American Diet (SAD) does to the heart and arteries. If you want more info, look up the very respected Dr Caldwell Essylstyn from the Cleveland Clinic and Dr T. Colin Campbell, from Cornell,  lead scientist of The China Study.

    The truth is that in order to teach something, one must be able to do it.

     

    The reason the "lesser" players make better coaches is that top-notch players have a gift - an intuition. They aren't consciously aware of the subtleties that make them better than the rest, so they can't explain them to others. They also don't understand why others don't "get it" the way they do, so they often become impatient. On the other hand, people who are competent at their jobs but not necessarily at a virtuoso level tend to be good teachers because they understand the struggles of the students.

     

    For example, people like to say Jordan Palmer failed as a QB (i.e, he can't "do" so he teaches). But think about it. He DID play QB in the NFL, albeit briefly, which makes him an excellent QB compared to the general population, but not compared to HOF-worthy NFL QBs.  He most certainly CAN do it.

     

    Jimmy Page would probably be a lousy guitar teacher. You're better off taking lessons from a guitarist who plays in a local bar band - still competent, but closer to the student's level than a master like Page.

     

     

    But Jimmy Page took lessons, he'd probably be an excellent teacher... There's a great video of him as a teenager talking about his guitar lessons...But I get your point, well said and Go Bills!

    Interesting NFL Schedule Alternative

    That would leave half the TV money on the table.  Greedy owners will never allow that and the players know that if they do not play a full season, it will impact the salary cap for years to come.

     

    Look how desperately MLB and Manfred are to trying continue their season with crippling outbreaks on multiple teams.  They are going to have to stitch together the Cardinals season like they are putting together the sports equivalent of Frankenstein.

    You could have half teams playing one week and the other playing the next week, maybe by conference and your team plays only the teams in your conference or splitting the conferences in two .  It gives the owners their 16 week tv schedule

    Death of the Hefty Lefty

    And next week there will be a study and book debunking this as false and saying the opposite. Just like all the diet fads that come and go. There's a diet right now that says it's healthy and safe to eat Bacon, Steak, butter, coconut oil, and heavy cream as long as you don't eat any carbs or sugar!

     

    The problem today is that there are so many "experts" out there on the internet to tell you a certain way is fine because they are a "doctor".

     

    Excercise (being active) and food moderation are the key cutting out alot of the junk and processed stuff. Problem is this requires will power and effort and isn't as easy as just saying don't eat 'x' or 'y' and the pounds will just fall off.

     

    People will always try and tell you their way is the best and works, and they are healthy even if they really aren't. Skinny doesn't equal healthy, just like fat doesn't always mean unhealthy.

     

     

    In this case, he was always big in his playing days then ballooned really big to almost 500lbs they said after his career was done. The very large fluctuations in weight gain and loss may have also taken a toll on him.

    There has not been a study that debunked the China Study, in fact the book sites several others that back it up.  Another book called 'Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease' by Caldwell Essylstyn explains it even easier.   http://www.dresselstyn.com/site/  He was a surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic who after many years, put his his patients on a plant based diet and not only did their cholesterol go down, none needed surgery. I followed it for the last year; no meat, dairy, poultry fish, oil or fats.  I have a family history of high cholesterol and mine went from over 330 to less than 180 (The goal is less than 150).  He correctly notes that your level can be at 170 or 180 and still have a heart attack.  The goal is to get it down to 150 or less and your LDL below 80. No recorded heart attacks at those levels.  Both books say the same thing, our western diet is the greatest cause of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.  What the China Study showed is that people who ate plant based, non-processed diets have much lower rates of those diseases and those that moved to the US experienced those diseases at the same rates that American do. It truly is what we eat.

    Structural Organizational Issues

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    NY Taxes don't compare to California home values.  A WNY  $200,000 2,400 square ft house on a half acre won't qualify for a 20% down-payment on a 1,600 ft 3 bedroom ranch on less land than typical WNY front yard for $800,000 to more than $1million depending on where you live. And the taxes on that home are much higher than in WNY. State income taxes are relatively equal. If you want the same size house, be prepared to pay $3 -5 million, imagine the taxes on that.  And they buy those homes and pay those taxes.

     

    As for player preferences, you might not remember, but Jim Kelly didn't want to come here either.  He used to wear a Raiders cap and that was after he played in the USFL. But top tier athletes have come here and Green Bay and Kansas City, Chicago, certainly Boston.  They go to where to the team that wants to pay them.  The Bills structural issues emanate from the organization itself, from the top to the GM's and coaches, not taxes.  Location, maybe, but not always.

    Peterman feel bad for him, but why he was ever considered a starting QB in Rookie or second season???

    I read multiple training camp reports, from each and every practice the Bills held during the offseason, from lots of different reporters. 

    They all said the same thing:

    - Josh Allen was making lots of "wow" plays, but also making lots of really bad mistakes and poor throws

    - AJ McCarron was unimpressive, taking too many sacks and seemed to be trying too hard to avoid mistakes

    - Nathan Peterman was the most steady, solid and consistent

     

    Once Preseason hit, things seemed to be following the same pattern:

    - Allen displayed lots of talent, but his start against a first-string defense (in the third game) suggested he may not be ready

    - McCarron played good the first game, but was terrible in the second and fourth

    - Peterman was consistent in each of his three appearances, regardless of which unit he was playing with or against

     

     

    My guess is that Peterman is one of those guys who plays well in a controlled practice setting, when there is no pressure, he knows exactly what to expect and he's against defenders he's seen many times.  Same thing when he's going against a bland preseason defensive scheme.  But put him into a real high-pressure NFL game, where he doesn't really know what to expect - he panics and everything crumbles to pieces.  Having that Brady/Montana-like calmness is very underrated, and something that's hard to determine in a player until they are put into the situation.  It's possible Peterman gets more comfortable as time passes.  But it's hard to justify waiting on a QB to develop, when he's got so little upside. 

     

    As bad as McCarron was in the second and fourth PRESEASON games with little game planning,, he was far better than Peterman in his real game. McCarron also has real game experience over the last 5 years.  They knew what he had that's why they signed him.  Trading him was a huge mistake.  And now they risk  their new QB's future, who they traded up for, behind this vastly downgraded O-line. 

    McBeane gave Peterman his shot....

    I just don't understand why they traded McCarron when the QB's consist of a rookie and and 2nd year QB with 2 starts that resulted in 5 pics in the first half and zero complete games behind a reshuffled, vastly downgraded O-line.  They could afford his cap - they signed him.  He would be no worse than Peterman and another player to take snaps to provide time for Allen's development.

    Why are people talking about Wyoming's defense?  He played against the other Mountain West teams where defense is...well let's just say defense isn't a "strength". 

     

    That said, I can see the multiple opinions. He has a cannon, was a JUCO transfer, without weapons especially in his senior year. Let's hope by the time he starts, he has the weapons, protection, coaching and innate skills that elevate him into a top tier QB....And the D and special teams rule and the Bills win a Superbowl!

     

    So many pieces to the puzzle...
