Daboll is probably the guy McDermott wanted all along from the minute he was hired. There was probably no way Belicheat would let Daboll leave to go an AFC east rival, so when to Bama for a year to win a national championship and now he was free to go wherever he wanted. That's probably why this decision was made so quickly.
-
Two guys with Daboll ties available in free agency guard Josh Kline and tackle Cam Fleming. They could be our new right side.
-
I suppose we could see some Pats guys come over. Cam Fleming could be a target at RT, and Josh Kline at RG (I know he's a Titan, but former Pat). Even though I hate him, maybe throw a bone to Amendola to come and return punts and be a 3/4. I think Chris Hogan gets cut this year as well. Daboll coached Hogan in Miami as well.
My target for Daboll would be Dion Lewis. Perfect backup to Shady (he has experience doing it) and he is a good reciever out of the backfield as well.

They are only keeping 1
Agreed. None of the three are going to re-sign to be a backup. Keenum comes back and Bradford or Bridgewater follow Shurmur. I've been thinking Bradford to Washington as he's a good fit for what Jay Gruden does and Bridgewater to Arizona with Shurmur.
-
3 current Bills who played for Daboll: Charles Clay, Richie Incognito, Patrick DiMarco.
-
I think Keenum stays with the Vikes. I have Bradford going to the Skins to replace Cousins and Bridgewater to the Cards with Shurmur.

Nothing matters until we know who the QB will be. Does hiring a coach from college indicate they intend to draft and start a rookie QB?
,
Normally I would say yes, but Daboll was only at Bama for one year, so he wasn't involved in all of the recruiting etc. Alabama did not play against any of the top quarterbacks in this year's draft.
The only quarterback to beat Bama this year? Jarrett Stidham who is going back to Auburn next season.
-
Keenum can play. Really impressive. His eyes are always down the field.
-
The good news is he will use Shady and he will use Charles Clay. Quarterback is still a huge question mark, but I feel like this is a good hire. I'm telling you NFL insiders will love it. Buffalo press will hate it quoting offensive statistics for those awful teams he was a part of.
The one thing about Belicheat is that he doesn't work with dumb coaches. Daboll has to be a smart guy.

Jim Bob cooter was on Daboll's staff in Miami
In Kansas City as well I believe

I wanted a coach that could make chicken salad out of chicken poo. I felt like Chudzinski was that kind of coach. Not sure on Daboll. I like the influences of belicheat and Saban. But he is young and has been around some good coaches.
I will say that this will be a popular hire around the league with all of the talking heads and that we will finally make good use of our tight ends.
Quarterback is still a massive question mark. Garopollo would be perfect right about now, but it is what it is. I think there is a negative zero chance Tyrod is back with this hire.

Interested to see what Charles Clay and Richie Incognito think as they played for him in Miami.
Being able to use a guy like Charles bodes well for how he will use Shady. He does a really good job getting tight ends involved. Coached QBs like Jake Delhomme and Matt Moore and etc.

Haley is a good coach. I just don't know if you want that guy developing a young quarterback as he is abrasive and difficult to deal with. Like imagine we move up and draft Josh Rosen. I'm sure Rosen and Haley will get along really well.

It's tough for these gadgety receivers to make their mark as rookies. A lot of them really struggle initially. I do like that fact that he never complained about the injury as the year was going. It would have been easy to make excuses when he was dropping big passes. While he is still technically making excuses, I'm glad it came after the season.

The biggest difference is those guys also could get to the passer. Shaq had 4 sacks this year but one was because he didn't get picked up. The other was because the QB was trying to escape and lawson tripped him up. I like Shaq, but he hasn't shown much burst and explosiveness as a pass rusher. I think Coach McD prefers guys that are more of a complete package than one dimensional because Ideally, you need the pocket collapsing on both sides and at least one player collapsing the middle. Compare Hughes, Davis, and Yarborough's first step to Shaq's as a pass rusher and you'll see a huge distinction between the players in that department.
Good points. I do think it is too early to cut loose on Lawson. I'm not sure if we have seen his full potential yet. I don't think he will ever be a 15 sack guy, but I think he could be a Charles Johnson type giving you 8-12 sacks a year and he seems to be very good at stopping the run. I think we will see our sack numbers skyrocket if we improve the linebacking corps. It is hard to get sacks when the linebackers are too slow to cover the check down.

I wonder if the holdup is waiting on what happens in INDY. If they hire a defensive coach, he might want to keep chudzinski and I could see all those Carolina guys going to indy to work with luck
This seems like it is becoming more likely. With the report that McDaniels is taking the Indy job, one would assume Chudz is out. In fact, I think this is what Mike McCoy was waiting for as he was McDaniels' OC in Denver.
Chudz+Dorsey makes a lot of sense.

This doesn't really pass the smell test. McDermott's defensive ends have always been on the bigger side. Charles Johnson, Mario Addison, Kony Ealy, Greg Hardy, even going back to Philly and Trent Cole, Brandon Graham. All in that 6-3, 265-270 range. Shaq is a good fit, cheap, and played well when he was in there.

The stuff that Bevell was doing early in Wilson's career with the read options he really isn't doing much anymore. I think it's tough to type cast Bevell as a mobile quarterback guy just because he coached Russell Wilson. He literally coached one mobile guy in his 20 year career. It does show that he knows how to adjust his offense to the strengths of his players.
Tyrod Taylor is nothing like Wilson in that he simply doesn't have the same passing ability. Beane has said that the most important thing is having a quarterback who can win from inside the pocket. That is not, nor will ever be Taylor.

Maybe Pegula can activate the PSU connection to try and woo Robinson?

Honestly Kansas City was pretty much running the Matt Canada offense this year. All of the RPOs built into the shovel pass and inverted veers is what Canada was doing with Pitt and it's how they beat Clemson.
So I guess the ballsy part is actually hiring the guy rather than just stealing his scheme.

This is probably a good thing. I'm now hoping we land Chudzinski as OC and Dorsey at QB Coach. They have a ton of experience together and I think they'd be a good team to develop and groom our upcoming rookie QB.
To me that is the dream team. If we do awesome and Chudzinski gets an HC opportunity again then you simply promote Dorsey. I can't think of a much better situation to bring a young quarterback into.

That’s an interesting thought and probably true. I think that firing Rico should be considered a feather in his cap. He was able to admit the mistake and pull the plug without worrying about “how does this look for me?” He will have to get it right with the next one but I am thrilled to see that he had the confidence to do it.
Well put. I know a lot of fans like continuity, but if something sucks real bad, what is the point of continuity? I'm glad McDermott was willing to pull the plug. I hope he is willing to do the same with one of his cronies in Castillo.

I was thinking Dion Lewis. He's a free agent and would fit in really well with Shady. He'd be a great 1-2 punch and you could keep them on the field together since they are such great recievers. They are great friends and Lewis is from Albany, NY.
Great fit and obviously familiar with Daboll.
