It was on the Chiefs message board. Think Field Yates was reporting that or something. https://x.com/FieldYates/status/1703869235317919883?s=20

Chiefs get an extra $3M or so in cap space from this. The cap is a weird thing...give a guy more money sooner and you get more money to spend.

There has been a lot of chatter on the board around being in the gun vs under center. I have been pushing to go under center more (especially when running the ball) and utilize the play action out of it. The eye test seems to support it but what do the numbers say after two games: Rushing Shotgun - 18 runs for 77 yards or 4.3 yards per and 0 TD Under Center - 39 runs for 203 yards or 5.2 yards per and 2 TD's The Bills are averaging almost a yard more per attempt running from under center. And these numbers are likely skewed by more short yardage plays from under center (goal line and sneaks) Passing Shotgun - 27 of 38 or 71% for 192 yards (5.1 per attempt) with 1 TD and 3 Int (8% int rate). Passer rating of 58. Under Cneter - 33 of 40 or 83% for 318 yards (8.0 per attempt) with 3 TD and 0 Int (0% int rate). Passer rating of 125. Wow. I knew there would be a difference but that is a huge difference. I know its only 2 games but both running and passing the team is playing much better under center. Is this Josh? Is it the personnel (new OL, new RB, more 2 TE)? Teams adjusting and knowing what the Bills are doing out of the gun? To me the morale of the story is the Bills need to mix it up and be less predictable. Go under center, mix in pay action, start under center and then have Josh back off. Whatever you need to do so teams don't know exactly what is coming.

Obviously 34 tackles then...My point is he played an ok game. The coaches will watch the tape and there will be some good and some bad. How the game played out because the Bills DL and Bills overall dominated the game he was not required to do much. I would not sell this performance as a we have our future all pro mlb like he was out there just destroying people and tookover the game. The team got the job done, he got an easy pick and otherwise what noticed a ton which is good. Your MLB will lead your team in tackles 90% of the time. That should be expected not used as a see he played great stat.

Really? My 10 year old daughter could have caught that. And to say Edmunds could not have made that play is just absurd. No - 16 tackles

Nobody is wrong about him. MLB is still a need for the Bills. He did less to hurt them this week than last. That was mostly because the DL dominated not him. He had 6 tackles as a MLB. It’s not like he was flying all over and had 20 tackles. Not all interceptions are created equal - unlike Milano his was luck and just right place right time. Bills one. The D played well. So his play is noticed less. That is good. But I doubt anyone was watching saying wow, look at that 43, he is baller.

The Bills have to mix it up and go under center a lot more. You can still mix it up but they seem much better suited to play that way. Teams can play the same D with the drop hand off and actually can spot Allen much better in the gun. Going under center forces the D to move up and react quicker which opens the play action. Plus build a bunch of tape playing under center so come playoffs teams need to game plan more. This gun offense has gotten way too predictable. Yes and no. He could not resist going back to the gun especially in the red zone. The td’s to Davis and Shakir could have both gone badly and this game looks different. Lots of work to do still to play vs a team better than the raiders.

Would love a play action at the goal line like the td to Knox. Run same play but to other side.

Let’s get Cook a td.

Dorsey just can’t resist going back to it.

Why run that play anyway. See how easy the play action was.

Wow. A miracle.

Have to look at yards per run under center. It’s like 8.

DL + Brown +

Let’s go one drive under center and see how it goes. Game is over. Broken record but let’s go run and play action. No need for delay draw or have Josh sitting back to take a hit.

Can media ask Dorsey why he refuses to go under center in the red zone?

So confused

Never learn

Play action works again. Hopefully Dorsey watches this tale and next week we are even better.

Kincaid keep running bro

Man. Good plays on those last TD’s. But both could have gone very wrong. Got to get better in red zone. Should not be so difficult.

Hard count and take the delay watch.

Why do they hate play action so much? It has worked the only times they have run it.

21-10. Can we please lose the delayed runs out of the gun. Go under center and just mix up the run, pass and play action. Keep it simple and we win this easy. Th D will over pursue everything.

More Shakir less Harty? Maybe. Not impressed with Harty.
