    Mitch Morse on Bills Offensive Identity: "Daboll is a Lunatic"

    Being serious a minute, I see Daboll and Allen as akin in a way.  They both show flashes of brilliance at their respective craft, interspersed with play (play calling) that leaves stuff on the field and some serious "WTF?" moments.  Daboll doesn't deserve the animosity/tar and pitchforks treatment some here give him (neither does Allen), but they both need to take a serious step for the Bills to continue their climb.

     

    If Daboll and Cleveland don't hook up, I would hope that Daboll would embark upon some serious self- scouting in the off-season, including sitting down with a defensive coach or player(s) and looking at his offensive play calls from the eyes of a defender.  I think he misses or is slow to pick up on personnel groupings and behaviors that are "tells" to a really good defense, and on play calling tendencies that become predictable with down and distance.   As someone here said, "if I can sit on my sofa watching on TV and predict it's gonna be a run play with 80% accuracy, so can the defenders".   I also think we could benefit by streamlining and simplifying the playbook a bit so the rep count does not need to include some of the gadgets and gimmics and can focus on perfecting the things we want to be best at: "professionals practice until they can't get it wrong", but not if they're diluting their practice rep counts too much.

     

    Yeah I agree 100%.  I really don't see Daboll going to Cleveland, I think (and it's been tweeted) that they are doing their due diligence this go around.  I have confidence that Daboll will do self-scouting; McDermott lives by that paradigm and we know he demands it of others.  If Daboll doesn't do it then I think we all know he will go out the door.  I'm all for simplifying the playbook if need to so long as we keep the mentality of game planning to the weakness of the other team and exploit those weaknesses.

    Although Daboll has left me scratching my head at times at his play calls I really don't understand the level of animosity people here give him.  I think he's done a good job and I see how much Josh has improved.  Even though his offense is complex, I like how well Josh has handled it so far - which I think reflects on the comments about how smart Josh is.  As Josh gets more experience and if we keep the same system, I think he is really going to be dangerous (if he keeps improving).  

     

    Ultimately I'm leaning on hoping Daboll stays. I'd really like Josh to remain in this current E-P system.  If Daboll were to go, I'd hope Ken Dorsey would get the reigns.  I don't really have a reason as to why Dorsey other than I would hope that he would keep Daboll's philosophy allowing a somewhat continuous and stable development of Josh; picking up where Daboll left off.  

     

    Realistically, I don't see Daboll going anywhere this year unless Josh puts up really good games and we elevate in the playoffs.

    I’ve asked a couple people who are currently sitting in that type of environment as “early adopters” what they think of it, and they’ve both answered “I like it.”

     

    But while they said it to me, they had a look in their eye like they were a Taliban hostage and had just gotten poked with an electric cattle prod, so take that for what it’s worth.

     

    Each person is indeed different. Certainly open floor/office designs look way better than cube farms. After experiencing both, I'm glad I'm back in my cubicle where I can hang all my Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Penguins and Miami Hurricanes memorabilia.

    hopefully they’re using the Agile methodology and working in open-concept offices with no privacy or storage space whatsoever!!!   Otherwise they are FAILURES.

     

    Software Engineer here, you have just triggered me.  I cannot STAND companies just blindly pushing for Agile without truly knowing what that software development process is.  Open concept offices are yucky - really hate not having high cubicle walls so that I can personalize my space.  UUUUgggghhhhhhh

    I assume you meant two backup safeties. But point taken - that’s another option to get Duke on the field. We’ll see what the coaches do after today. Not sure they are going to deviate from what they’ve been doing though at this point.

    Yeah hahaha that's what I meant.

     

    I agree that they are probably not going to change anything
