    Mckittrick: Isaiah McKenzie offensive package utilization

    in The Stadium Wall

    You can't ignore his fumble history. 4 his rookie year. His fumble this season was completely untouched. Daboll is running out of time to figure out a role for him. I liked him on the occassional jet sweep but we ended that. He rarely uses him in down field routes. And he's a waste as a decoy man in motion behind the RB. Either at least give him one last shot at returns or cut him loose.

    Daboll needs to scheme up about 5-7 touches for him per game. He's dangerous with the ball in his hands and can take it to the house from anywhere on the field. Then when you use him as a decoy the defense actually bites on it for another 5-7 plays a game. Honestly I'd rather him have touch the ball than Breida on offense.

    i do think having him focus on WR will be better for the team. 
     

    But if he is out there, shouldn’t he get the ball? I don’t think he was targeted once or had one jet sweep or touch against the Bucs. 

    Yeah, I think he had one sweep and was just a decoy on maybe a few other plays. It makes no sense to me because in the limited action we've seen, he's been a playmaker when he does get the ball on those plays. Not that he's incredibly shifty, making people miss left and right, but he's good at seeing the creases in the defense and getting there before they close up. He looks to have pretty average hands and I can't comment on his route running prowess but it seemed like he got open well enough when the Bills used him more last year. We have know clue what the coaches see in practice though so we don't have the full picture

    I hope they let McKenzie return again he honestly seemed to do better than the rookie has been doing.

    I think so too.. I will say I thought Stevenson appeared to have more breakaway speed though. When he decided to go it was like lightning in a bottle. But it seemed to take him too long to actually decide when to go so he got caught up in the mix.  I'm not sure Mckittrick would hold that job past this year

    Agreed, it's lame and disrespectful. 19 is way under-utilized in this offense.

    Obviously I'd never call him that in public but I think on the boards it's the perfect thing to call him. When I'm watching the games at home I'm always rooting for 'McKittrick' instead of McKenzie when he's on the field.

    I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but against the Bucs McK was active; specifically on offense, rather than, special teams. 

     

    This is a clear indication of the Bills perceived use of him heading down the stretch. McDermott clearly wanted to send him a message about ball security by benching him on STs for two games. This allows him to channel that extra energy and unleash it on offense for a 2021 Superbowl run. There were countless times they set him in motion and looked the other way. Indicating to me that the would like to see those plays come to fruition when it truly matters.

     

    In a sense the Bills are counting on Mckittrick to help win them a Superbowl!

    WTF are you talking about? You think Diggs committing personal fouls is somehow going to improve the situation?

    Yes.  Bc at that moment how much would it have hurt.  If anything it would've fired the team up even more.

    You act like these plays happen in a vacuum. They don't. There are so many factors that go into every little interaction and I'm sure that the Bills were feeling that. If someone, anyone (Diggs) fed into that energy it could've completely altered the course of the game

    What expectation?  That the players should be expecting the officials are going to cheat and bend the rule in favor of their opponent in order to determine the outcome of the game?         

    Yes. That is exactly the expectation they should go into the game with. Just go out there and beat the other team regardless of what the refs do. Win so convincingly, that the refs can't possibly effect the outcome of the game. Put the outcome of the game beyond a reasonable doubt. Show the world how great you truly are, that nothing can stop what's about to happen. The Bills embrace that mindset, they win the Superbowl this year. Refs be damned

    Not that we were trying to be ineffective on purpose by any means  but I think some of the success of the second half is directly tied to things we were trying to set up in the first half 

    What is this overwhelming sense around here that football games are over at halftime lol I just don’t understand it…we were up on the jets 10-0 and everyone in the game day thread is panicking omg we’re gonna lose to the jets 😂 halftime adjustments are the most important thing a coaching staff does. We absolutely wiped the floor with them in the second half 

    I really like your first point! That long run by Singletary was a huge unnoticed play for the Bills

    That’s not even a win assuming you know that the play is going to end in a horrible uncalled dpi which diggs has no way of knowing lol I’d take the opportunity to go for it on 4th and 2 over a 3rd and 17 with a longer fg try. 

    That's just a difference of opinion I suppose. I'm notorious for being using more aggression/ force than is necessary in these types of situations..

     

    So I'm probably in the wrong here lol

    I mean in the heat of the moment like that I’m not sure how much thought you get to put into how to make it most look like you’re getting held to be fair lol he doesn’t get to see himself from 37 broadcast angles.  Shoving the defender when you know you’re due an obvious dpi call in a game where your team is getting no calls to begin with doesn’t make a lot of sense to me…in the moment how does he know he’s gonna be victimized by an awful no call…100% they’re calling OPI if he does that and he’s likely not catching the ball anyway 

    If he literally stops his route because he is being held/ interfered with and then gets a PF unnecessary roughness that's still a win for the Bills. Have you ever seen it happen on a game bc I have not. It would take that DPI/hold to an entirely different level.

    I understand what you’re saying. But, you are mistaken with a failed analogy. I played rugby for (f***, I’m old) 30 years. With one official for 30 players on the field, rugby relies on player enforcement. That doesn’t work in the NFL. Seven referees and video review sees and calls everything. Diggs can’t rake the defender. It is a different reality. 
     

    All that said, the rugger inside me wishes Diggs had stomped his sorry @$$.

    Fair enough. The games are truly two different beasts, however, the physicality isn't lost in translation. Diggs should've turned and given the defender something bc the refs would've been forced to throw a flag since there's so many of them. They would've got into their little huddle and discussed the whole play and why the flag was thrown. The replay would've been looked at and in all honesty I doubt Diggs would've gotten a flag. If, at that point, they looked at the review, and saw the jersey tug which led to a Diggs response, could they not call it on the defense. The NFL would look even worse than it does right now in regards to officiating

    For me it’s the intent of the defenders that makes me angry…we can harp on the fade call but diggs beat his man and Davis’ only hope was to drag diggs down with him and maybe save the game on a goal line stand. You can even see him pound his hand on the ground like sh*t I just blew the game.  And that earlier jersey rip of diggs he beat everyone and was going to be open for a huge gain. People are talking like the defense was in a good position and it was a tossup call that didn’t go in our favor. These were all absolute desperation holds that I’m sure the defense was even surprised they weren’t called.

    In order to catch the ball? Pi absolutely should’ve been called there and you give away absolutely any hope of that if you do that…that’s insanity. 

    I don't disagree. It was absolutely DPI, or holding at the least. I'm saying Diggs should've either turned and thrown a shoulder or aggressively attacked the ball.

     

    Instead, he chose to put his hands out to B word to the refs. Either option at that point would've been preferable. 

     

    I'm sure McD peaches not to do that but at some point just let the emotion flow over. Utilize that energy to do something rather than nothing

    Yeah, but if Diggs goes to the ground with the guy who's on his knees with a fistful of jersey, there's no way that can't call that. 

     

    Bit he fought through it enough to throw his hands up and beg the refs for a call. 

     

    He has to go to ground with the defender while contact is being made. Not after. 

    Exactly. The Bills can't just look for these calls, bc they just don't get them. Do something different and see what happens.

    I’m not sure how you deal with dragging a defender with you that is holding you as obviously as possible haha that might literally be the worst no call I’ve ever seen…the one to end the game was bad also but Davis did a somewhat nice acting job to make it look like they tangled feet when really he just straight up lost a handcheck battle and then ripped diggs down by his jersey. That one doesn’t make me terribly mad until combined with the ridiculous OT call 

    I’m not understanding what he’s trying to say…the bills should commit more penalties when the refs are only calling penalties on one team?  

    I'm saying that if the refs are gonna let it be physical be physical back. At that point "F" the rules and give the defense what they're giving you. If they throw a flag and then it's on the offense, at that point it's even more egregious what the defense did and didn't get called for. There's replay in modern sports so anyone with eyes would be able to see even moreso how that particular play, played out.

    That would’ve made the call on Wallace even funnier assuming that still happens in OT. evans was dangerously close to offensive pass interference when Wallace had the ball played perfectly and a shot at a game winning int …Brady threw an absolutely terrible ball there and was bailed out big time. It’s really the combination of that no call on diggs and that Wallace call in OT that grinds my gears…how do both those calls go against the wrong team

    Are you talking about diggs or Wallace? I was talking about the first half diggs play where the defender stretched his jersey 20 yards lol the one late in the game was pretty awful as well but that first half play was criminal 

    Yeah, the Diggs play. He had the awareness to throw his hands out for a flag, at that point, plant, pivot, and give a two hand shove

    But it is about what the refs do or don't do.  The players have an expectation they'll call the game fair and square.  Whether they call it tight or lose.  Call it fair and even.  They shouldn't have to embellish or take a dive because the officials fail to do their job correctly.  Last night the ref's failed the game and they poorly represented their profession.      

    The Bills player should know what the expectation is at this point. They are going to be on the bad end of things. Deal with it

    Nobody is going to stop being physical because Diggs is physical back.

    If they call a penalty it's not a loss of downs and they get another shot at the game winning score 

    So either the kick is at the same field position or the bills get another shot at the end zone (and possibly a further kick, which is a chip shot for Bass)
