Offensive stat that needs to be improved - YAC
Buffalo716 replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall
The bills have plenty of guys who can get yac Diggs , McKenzie , Davis , Knox , singletary This is an offensive design thing by daboll not necessarily something they can't do First Josh leads the league in air yards.. usually the higher the air yards the lower the yac.. If Two quarterbacks averaged 12 yards per completion.. but one averaged 11 air yards per completion and one was eight... Obviously the guy with eight air yards per completion has more yac Also Josh's scrambling ability and ability to throw the ball to the boundary has an effect on yac.. how many times does he scramble outside the pocket and then throw a dart to diggs or Davis on the sideline for toe tap? A beautiful masterful play that leaves zero room for yac.. Josh does that multiple times a game Also the staple of dabolls short game was hitch routes .. digs, beasley and Davis and sanders run a bunch of five-seven yard hitch routes.. this is to set the defense up for the double moves and go routes later.. but there's almost zero room for rac in that route It was a schematic thing a bunch -

I wrote a pretty long post.. I didn't go back and read to see if I wrote 95 or 90 percent Now if I would have said 95% and the second time I wrote 60% I'd be waffling.. I truly believe that they were starting at the 20 or 25 regardless of the kick The average pooch kick goes to about the 18-20 yard line... So a super high one is going to the 25.. you can fair catch that A lower one is going to the 10-13.. I don't believe the kicking team will be able to get to the ball before it rolls in the end zone Unless the returner let it go over his head and it takes a backwards bounce and stops rolling.. which is again possible but like I said not probable.. I have seen it happen I'm just being honest when I say the odds are unlikely You are right things go wrong

Bills 2021 rookie class ranked 27th in league
Buffalo716 replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Drafting is an inexact science... Always has been and always will be Philosophy, scheme, coaching, time to develop, work ethic, love for the game, are all things that shape a player's career In one situation it could be positive and another it could be completely negative Notice I said all those things without ever mentioning a player's talent.. because every single player is immensely talented at that level Why do some players fall? Based on perceived negatives.. such as not ideal height weight or physique... Lack of competition.. or maybe questionable off-field decisions What do consistently good teams do in the draft? They stick to their board.. they stick to their philosophies.. they draft good football players instead of reaching for athletes who can maybe play Matt Milano.. probably a 7th round pick on most teams boards.. not great size and not the fastest. Good special team value But our scouts do a great job of projecting now.. they know the league has changed.. those 260 lb run stuffing days are gone So take a chance on an undersized coverage linebacker who fits the mold of the NFL... Somebody who pound for pound hits as hard as anybody just is undersized.. somebody who fits Sean's scheme with an understanding of what he's trying to accomplish And you get overachievers Fit and scheme really are the two best chances for a player to succeed.. and when you put them in a good environment it's easier to flourish -
I have practiced this scenario in practice over my 30 years in the game Week 5 of a regular season a team will catch that pop up on the 10.. in the playoffs with minimal time.. the returner is absolutely instructed if it goes over the 10 to let it bounce into the end zone 95 out of 100 times that ball rolls into the end zone.. very very rarely have I ever seen it take a weird kick and stay in play .. the bounce that keeps it in is an anomaly I've ran this scenario in practice a hundred times over the years.. a squib kick you could down and no time is lost... A super high pop-up at the 20 won't roll into the end zone.. but you can fair catch it And a standard pop up that's going to the 10 yard line you can absolutely just let it roll into the end zone.. you just don't see it because teams return it week five regular season... but that ball does roll out 90 out of 100 times.. so in that scenario you absolutely let it roll out

Kyler Murray unfollows Cardinals on social media

Yeah but as I've said hardman 95% doesn't panic and he will let it go over his head at the 10 yard line I don't see a scenario where they don't get it at least at the 20-25.. except if you're right and he panics... But your coached not to panic in that situation Davis Webb was not that instrumental in Josh Allen's growth Allen himself, Palmer , daboll , Barkley, Dorsey , are all ahead of Webb.. Webb and Allen are friends and they work out together.. he's not Allen's quarterback guru

Spotrac has Levi Wallace valued @ $9M/yr. Thoughts?
Buffalo716 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
Those are all fair questions.. it's up to the bills to decide what they think he's worth McDermott has talked about in the past how it takes three players to replace Johnson when he goes down... Because of all the aspects of his game... As a former defensive back I can see how versatile he is .. His ability to tackle off the edge.. and blitz.. his ability to tackle the receiver and allow minimum yac... And play Sean's combination coverages make him probably more valuable than Levi And it's tough to have all that money tied up in the secondary -
Here's the thing with the pop off kickoff.. I've practiced this a hundred times in football practice over the years You're getting two kinds A super super high pop-up that is caught at the 20-25.. which you can fair catch and no time is killed Or a hi pop up , it goes to like the 10 yard line... Week five of the regular season the other team will just catch it and return it With 13 seconds left in a playoff game.. the returner let's it go over his head and it bounces into the end zone.. and they get it at the 25 with no time off I've actually simulated this live in football practices and went over this in my head a thousand times over the last two weeks.. these are the two most likely scenarios

Buffalo716 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
To his defense Levi absolutely improved his man coverage this year I think he's squarely a top 40 corner in the league I wouldn't pay him 9 mil but he vastly improved his ability to mirror guys in man coverage.. he is 10x better than a few years ago -
Yeah but you were probably talking to numbers people Ask The individual franchisee owner if he thinks they're in a data company or a pizza business.. I bet he wants to sell food

Bills 2021 rookie class ranked 27th in league
Buffalo716 replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
You can't rank a rookie class after 1 season Amateurs Every football coach knows that football players don't come equally.. some come in basically maxed out but ready to compete And some take a few years of seasoning then really turn it on The biggest weakness of our scouting department during the drought era was projecting players to the NFL It's not about who's the better football player day one.. it's about who's the better football player year 3.. the bills really struggled at that for a long time Our scouts have really turned the page on that -
Yep exactly Cam's issue is not his running ability.. it's he has a dead arm Physically Josh is built like Tim Tebow.. who was also a powerful runner in the NFL .. he just couldn't throw a football Josh can run like Tim Tebow and throw a football like John elway.. I've been saying it for 2 years he is the most dynamic player in the league and basically there isn't a game plan to stop him yet
-
That's not all true because there's never been a quarterback like Josh None of these running quarterbacks could throw like Josh or were physically built like him Both of those give him the advantage.. he's much much bigger then Michael Vick or Randall Cunningham or RG3.. he's a much better thrower of the football too You bring up running backs.. the cliff for running backs is usually considered 2,000 carries... That's when they fall off Josh is at 400.. he literally has 15 years before he would ever even get close to hitting that number Sure Josh is a good runner so he does run .. he doesn't run as much as running backs.. and he's not taking as much as a beating Besides the league has never seen a player like Josh Allen.. he will be the mold that other teams are looking for

Thurman Thomas was far faster than I thought he was...
Buffalo716 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think he is a better receiver than BOTH those Nothing against them .. but they are more short route specialists Thurman would run routes 25 yards downfield and catch it over his shoulder laying out He is one of a kind -

Buffalo716 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thurman Thomas's don't grow on trees He's literally one of the most complete backs in NFL history.. easily top five in that category and one of the best ever They come out once every 20 years
