Running Game Looks Strong
Theshallowcross replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well they were 31st in run defense DVOA last season. They tried to shore some of that up by signing Lotulelei and drafting Edmunds and Phillips but I'll be cautiously optimistic for now. But as rushing offense and rushing defense correlate very little with winning games, I don't worry about it too much. -
Short passing in NFL by 538
Theshallowcross replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Like I said, you've made up your mind. Even in the face of statistical evidence that is posted quite regularly, your mind has been made. And that's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. -

Ugh. Do you want to have a debate about something that you have no clue about? I'd be happy to do this but I was trying to not have an unending Tyrod debate. Most people have made up their minds so I see no point in a back and forth. You have nothing which is why you keep using words like kiddo and sport. It's hilarious. -

I'm glad you realized that it was a poor idea to try and defend the "never" that you used in your first post. Kiddo. -

Theshallowcross replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wouldn't have even responded to a post like the one you just made because it is an argument that isn't debateable. It's when someone uses words like "never". That's the issue. -

What are you talking about? The dude literally used the word NEVER twice. To imply such a thing when he completes 63% of his passes is beyond mindblowing. -
Should Bills pass on Draft Prospects that
Theshallowcross replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It didn't hurt Fournette or McCaffrey when they skipped their bowl games last year. Both guys went top 8. Missing one bowl game doesn't make 24-48 games of film go away. These kids have millions of dollars on the line. While I'd personally rather them play, I most certainly understand when they decide not to. -

Good luck making the argument that a guy who is completing 63.2% of his passes is NEVER accurate. My mind is literally blown that someone would even type something like that. -

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/extra-points/2017/fivethirtyeight-how-aggressive-your-qb There is an entire write-up on Taylor at the link I provided. Scott Kacsmar wrote the article and writes for both football outsiders and 538. It really bursts the balloon that Taylor is the leagues biggest check down artist. Only 13 QBs throw the ball down the field further than Taylor. -
"Not a chance." - Rodak on Coaching Change
Theshallowcross replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Give the people what they want and they'll be happy. Tell the people what they want to hear and they'll keep listening. Say Taylor stinks and is the sole cause of the Bills problems and the people will take that and run with it. Confirm what they want to hear and they'll forget that there is no better option. -
ITT: Edgy opinions on the future of the franchise
Theshallowcross replied to DollaBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not arguing semantics with you guy. If you don't call plays in one place and the new place hires you to actually call plays, that's a promotion. My information is from everyone with any sense. -

Theshallowcross replied to DollaBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What? Why wouldn't you want Reich? And also yes, being a play caller does make it a promotion. I'd want Reich because of the system he runs and his Buffalo ties or Ken Dorsey (QB Coach panthers). Dennison needs to go. Period -
ITT: Edgy opinions on the future of the franchise
Theshallowcross replied to DollaBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Go get Frank Reich. He is a Buffalo guy who is a defacto OC in Philly while he could actually call the plays in Buffalo. It's not a lateral move for him if he obtains playcalling capabilities. He could also be a coach in waiting. Put a little pressure on McD to keep his defense playing at a high level. -
If Bills and Chief's lose out
Theshallowcross replied to T-Bomb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Peterman will be the QB for the rest of the season which means we will finish 6-10. Chiefs may also lose out which means they will be 6-10. These may very well be two top 10-12 picks. -
I absolutely love Roquan Smith. I'm meh on the QBs.

Josh Gordon: Worth the Risk?
Theshallowcross replied to thenorthremembers's topic in Fantasy Football
I am not one who believes in Gordon. At least not initially. The guy hasn't played a meaningful snap since 2014 so I expect he will have to knock the proverbial rust off. It also doesn't help he is up against a top 6 pass defense (DVOA) and some excellent corners (Verrett/Heyward/Flowers) on the road. Your decision but I would start Matthews. -
Few things here and not to take anything away from your hard work but clarification is necessary. 1.) This is a concept called an RPO or run/pass option. When the play is called in it is a run play with a built in pass option. Zone read/slant flat combo. It is a play straight out of the Anthony Lynn playbook so giving Dennison credit for the design is false. Where I give Dennison credit is not letting his ego get in the way of success and calling a concept that was out of the norm for him and his system. 2.) It was in fact Incognitos inability to sustain a block against the DT (not LBer like you say above) that causes this play to not hit for a big gain to Thompson. The DT pushes Incognito into the passing window and just makes a good play by getting his hand up and knocking the ball down. With that said, it's obvious that this play isn't practiced enough because it's clearly a new wrinkle in Dennisons offense. I like Taylor as the QB of this team but he missed an opportunity to just hand the ball to Cadet for a big gain on the zone read. Regardless, the slant to Thompson was open if the DT doesn't create that interior pressure as quickly as he did. The good news is that the RPO concepts that I have been begging for are now being incorporated into the offense. With another week of practice behind them I look for the Bills to continue to adding them to the game plan on Sundays.

I swear I'm not trying to be "that guy" lolol but if you search my post history I've brought that up multiple times. I wanted it to be Lynn and just assumed it was going to be Lynn.... Until it wasn't. The continuity he would have brought back to the offense and his scheme in general were the reason I thought for sure he'd get the job. He also said he and Gus Bradley were a packaged deal which would've meant the defense would've still switched to a 43 base and we would've essentially played the same zone scheme that McD runs now. Would've loved it.
-
So you're not considering the offensive scheme being predicated on the run or the fact that he never threw for more than 2,800 yards? He was a cog in the offense he didn't elevate that team at all. To think anything different is absurd. QBs who elevate their offense don't get drafted in the 5th round.

You're cool man. I do Happen to love college ball (I'm a Bills/NFL fan first and foremost). I think all the most innovative offensive philosophies are at the college level and are slowly being integrated into NFL playbooks. My grandfather coached at the high school level for 27 years. I'm from Ohio so my college team is ALWAYS good. That helps as well. This Wayne dude has no idea what he is talking about and I would love for him to debate scheme with me.
