I don't think my point is getting across.. He isn't lined out wide for his receiving ability I assume that he will be blocking downfield on screens and rub routes throughout the season when lined up wide A FB blocking a CB or safety in space is a mismatch

It's definitely not ideal but it's also a guy who knows his role... Football teams are defined by the roles you play

I literally heard Smith say he gets off on blocking and hates catching so that where I base my opinion of that on lol DiMarco isn't a HoF but he is a top 10 FB in the world with versatility You don't want a guy like Knox or Sweeney playing FB because they have too much potential and playing FB kills your body and shortens a career

Like I said in the OP. It's not all about his catching ability There will be alot of screens and rub routes mixed into that personnel when he's wide... He is faster than given credit for and big and he will create alot of space on a rub route for other players or screen Knox or Sweeney can also be on the field when DiMarco is as well

Nobody is saying he's a HoF. He has a spot on the roster because he is versatile and can do alot of things. And yes you do still need a FB in today's NFL He is easily still one of the best 10 FBs in the world. He shouldn't be noticed, it's his job to go unnoticed unless he catches the ball. There are ALOT worse

Because Lee Smith has spotty hands and DiMarco doenst.. Lee Smith will tell you personally that he hates catching a football and gets off on blocking. DiMarco has displayed solid hands for a FB over 8 seasons

I noticed him a bunch so I guess it depends what your looking at on a play

Going into game 1 there was a host of people who wanted DiMarco cut, said he doesn't do enough to warrant a spot... Some wanted WR Williams converted to FB lol Yesterday showed why Dabolls likes and kept him. He lines up all over the field. He lines up in the backfield and blocks, he gets motioned out wide and blocks , he gets motioned out wide and runs routes Playing FB in the NFL is super physically demanding, it takes a special breed and even Belechick has always utilized a FB DiMarco offers versatility that not many other in the league offers. He splits out wide and catches passes and he does have good hands. But more importantly, the Bills will be running alot of rub routes and jailbreak screens for Beasley and McKenzie, and DiMarco getting split outwide offers a great blocking matchup with a FB on a CB or safety That's a mismatch I'll take all day

Dabolls offense is all about putting different personnel on the field. It makes it harder to game plan for and gives you more variety Dabol will come out in 21 personnel ( 2 backs 1 TE) IForm, but then switch formations to a 5 wide look with 21 personnel. Defenses get confused when they see a FB line up out wide and other different formations

Singletary could've been hot right as the play started ... A quick swing to a playmaker had always been a solid decision... Brady's lived off it for years But I'd have to see it all live again to see how it develops.. if Josh was gonna throw that it should be quick to get him in space 1v1 vs 22. A late throw on a swing route can turn bad quick... But it looked like some space

Are you talking about the seam route developing? Without watching the all 22 I can't tell if he will run open behind the LBr or if the backer will drop with him

I actually feel like this DOES happen all the time lmaoo

The football program is only 20 years old on a D1 level ... That is where the inconsistency stems from Penn St, Alabama, Oklahoma have all been playing D1 football consecutively for 100 plus years... That's breeds consistency UB is finally at the spot where they have depth. And that is the difference between a meddling program and a program that contends for division titles A college program that is 1 deep at a position is in trouble and 1 hit away from a long season... UB finally has backups that can come in and play And while I wasn't positive that UB would win I definitely didn't think it was a guaranteed loss. I've been on sidelines as an underdog and I know players on the UB team and they all wanted it and believed

I honestly see a nice pocket that Josh can step up into Something we haven't had consistently for a long time

I never said it was a horrible pass. I would expect that to be caught most of the time The low pass was good but it just was a bit off target which led to the pop-up. I still would think Beasley would catch that next time

Yea tennis players like Nadal wear Richard mille watches while playing but it's legal and not a contact sport OBJ will get fined and it's just super ignorant to wear that during a game. Like saying look at me, I'm so rich and popular I can do whatever I want. See this 300k watch? The one you guys will probably never be able to afford I'm actually gonna wear it during a game because it doesn't even matter to me if it breaks

I thought he was drunk

There is no such thing as a moral victory. That is BS spouted by fans to make themselves feel better You either win or lose, and you can bet your ass army is pissed they couldn't capitalize

Read this yesterday Wish somebody put a helmet to it and broke it

I don't take offense to that throw. There will always be guys lurking in a zone.. the fact Beasley found the soft spot doesn't make it a bad decision Maybe take a little juice off it or put it in his belly and we aren't talking about a pick 6.. I think we will see that route combination a lot

Garbage time id a fan stat. Nobody gets 300 passing yards in "garbage time" and pads that much stats 2 drives of prevent defense might add 60-80 yards, MIGHT. Maybe 100 if you score back to back.. . . You can also NOT score.. A good defense doesn't let up at ANY TIME, Pros who are playing for pride go all out til the final whistle No professional on defense after playing lights out for 3.5 quarters says hey , let's let them move the ball and score a few times and let them feel good There's is a COMPLETE DIFFERENCE between playing cover 4 with a few TD lead and not giving up 60 yard bombs vs letting the other team March down and score Cardinals took the game to overtime after being down 24-6 in the 4th quarter, don't tell them that it was garbage time and the game didn't matter Fitz and the dolphins were down 40 at half and in "garbage time" the whole second half and managed a whopping 180 yards

There are realistically no such thing as garbage time stats even tho I get the premise It's the NFL and teams go to the final whistle. Arizona took it to overtime racking up Garbage time stats and came back to tie it.. tons of comebacks happen in "garage time" players are payed to play

Allen takes lots of hard hits but he is also a MASTER at flopping ... Like in not even 16 starts he is world class soccer flopper good at getting Personal fouls called

I seriously never doubted it! I was saying it was the inverse of last year's jets comeback loss! Give the ball to singletary!

No bounces are going our way rn Beasley popped up a ball for an INT pick 6 and a batted ball led to another
