So you’re saying he somehow got worse as a route runner and became less of a weapon to be used for the things he was successful at last year? Makes sense.Not what I said at all actually. You asked why we don’t use him. I explained to you why he’s not used as a primary receiver. He’s being used in the same capacity he was last year.

Has nothing to do with him as a route runner. Last year he was used extensively on jet sweeps and reverses. This year we’ve rarely seen any of those plays and it begs the question why.Has everything to do with it. He’s a package player and he’s been used in the same packages he was used in last year.

I’m sorry but most of the time tremaine Edmonds has no clue what he is doing out there. Yes he had one nice hit in the open field but if you key in on this guy he is out of position almost every play or gets blocked out of it. It’s frustrating.
I assume you think the big 31 yard gain was his fault?

Edmunds had a lot of difficulty shedding blocks today. Early in the game Harris picked him up 1:1 in the backfield. No chip. Didn’t go low. Squared up and stopped Edmunds in his tracks. But pass rush machine, or something….
I really want to like Edmunds more than I do. I don’t want to get rid of him. But also don’t want to pay him.
That’s by design. If you are an interior rusher and you lose your first move you are a low box player and coached to hold the LoS until the QB steps up into the pocket. It’s the edge rushers job yo set the high box and force the QB to step up. The play you’re referring to has a stunt between Edmunds and Oliver where Oliver twisted off of Edmunds rush and came through Scott free because Edmonds did his job.

Agreed, as good as McKenzie is Beasley gives way more options as far as route/play selection.
McKenzie should be mixed in for what he specializes in more though.
100% agree. He needs to have “his package” of things that he does really well. The misdirection stuff in the run game with the jet/orbit motion game and then the obvious man coverage beaters running high and shallow crossers are mismatches against most nickel corners or safeties.

He gets credit but it also brings up the obvious question of why McKenzie hasn’t been used the entire year.
He’s still a work in progress as far as being able to run the route tree from the slot. He’s not as polished a route runner as Beasley is but was a complete mismatch running those crossers against the Patriots man coverage.

McD will say in his Press Conference, " Let's not give Daboll more credit than he deserves".😂
He called a decent game with a few head scratchers but it was Josh that made him look competent today. 17 was ballin!
Can you not say this for any play caller in the league? Players make you look good or bad. You can prepare them as much as you want throughout the week, but it ultimately comes down to how guys execute under fire.

every time mckenzie plays as a solid 3 I’m confused what it is Beasley must do better
Beasley is the more polished route runner - he understand coverages and where the soft spots in zone are. McKenzie is just quick af and good at getting separation on crossers.

3 tries to get a yard. They were going to get it regardless. The timeout was wasted.
More than likely, yeah. But you don’t just give them an unearned touchdown. We weren’t lined up to the shift.

Covid-19 got us down injuries and a bad Dline, Allen said get on my back men let’s roll. Get this guy a oline and a running back and watch him tear up the NFL. GO BILLS
Motor can go with some blocking.

Mac is a dump off artist, play tight coverage
He dumps it off because we are playing tight coverage 😉

Play design was fine on the 2 point - throw needed to be made quicker but since it wasn’t Kumerow needs to adjust his route in front of the defender.

McD’s still such an amateur in terms of game management. You absolutely can not burn a timeout there. So incredibly stupid.
You rather he give them a free touchdown?
-
Again, anyone blaming Edmonds for that run is dead wrong. I’ll draw that one up later.

Love Spencer Brown and the nasty he brings up front. He plays the position right. We got too many nice guys up front.

Great stop D - we still have time to score.

Can’t play defense anymore… just make it 7 on 7…
-
I hate that we flip backers on motion…

Jesus Diggs continuing to get mugged out there. At some point though he’s gotta stop playing for the penalty and accept he’s gonna get held every play and fight through it.

Dunno why the Bills abandoned the run. They were getting 3-4 yards a pop and that’s fine - hopefully get back to it here in first
How did they abandon it? Because they threw it three times on the goalline? Then turned around and ran jet and then Q Counter on back to back plays to start the next series? 🤔

Why are people complaining about Daboll. Knox was wide open and Allen missed him and then Sanders dropped the td. Yes a JA run may have worked but so did the other plays
Bunch of people who don’t understand football. Take it for the entertainment it is.

Daboll doing a great job with play calling so far - making the Patriots cover every area of the field. Deep shot incoming.

You can tell rush lanes have been emphasized the past few weeks with the DL - it’s clearly evident they are playing their high box/low box rules - but we’re not doing a good job of collapsing the pocket.

Bills fans: run the ball!
Also Bills fans: why are we running the ball!This place is great on game day 🤣

Brian Daboll deserves a lot of credit today.

Offensive snap count is down to 17% from 25% last year - that while missing a game due to being inactive. What has increased significantly is his role as a returner this year which is likely part of the reason they aren’t using him as much offensively as well. However, they’ve used him the exact same way they used him last year (up until today) - sparingly - just like last year.
