The Mystery of the Missing Screen Plays
dickleyjones replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Screens are not easy plays to execute. Once they are able to reliably run them, we will see more. -

Is Josh really getting the coaching he needs?
dickleyjones replied to Stallions's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Your first sentence says it all. He needs practice and the coaches are giving it to him even if it decreases their chance of winning. How else can you learn to play vs the elite strength and speed that playoffs bring? This was the most difficult challenge of this young guy's life and the coaches put the game in his hands. He had it won several times, made some mistakes, and overall gained the crucial practice you mentioned. I'm betting everything is going to look slower to Josh going forward and that he will learn to make better decisions and better judgements of the opposing defender's abilities. -

Too late. We ready started talking about it. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - December Football
dickleyjones replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes Allen needs to process faster. As you pointed out, McDermott is giving him the in game practise he needs. I am so glad mcd "gets it". -
i think we mostly agree. yes slowing down and then speeding up helps. i have been learning to play drums lately, that's exactly how i do it. and i'm getting better! however, nothing can prepare you for actually being on stage and playing. it definitely helps to practice before you get there. but the best way to be great on stage is to play on stage, lots (i.e. practice the real thing). there are aspects that cannot be duplicated in practice. similarly, i'm sure that Allen is starting slow and gaining speed in scrimmage or drills or what have you. however nothing can truly mimic game situation and speed except a real game. you need real game practice. you need to throw the deep ball vs the blitz in a real game to get good at it. you may fail, but when you fail you get to evaluate yourself and see what you did wrong, go back to practice try to correct, then come back to a real game and give it a go again. i think throwing motion can be taught to change, it just takes practice. Allen has already shown he can achieve this. he has a ways to go, which imo is quite exciting because if he can put it all together he's gonna be fantastic.

I think daboll is fine. Allen hits one or more of those three long ball misses and the game is much different. Yes, Allen has had some trouble with those. But he needs to keep trying. Daboll needs to keep trying. They need to hit those and the best way to do that is practice in game. I don't see the game plans being 100% about winning right now. Allen still has brain training to do, and that can only be done in a game. He has shown he is a great learner, and being allowed to fail is part of that.

Who is your favorite current Buffalo Bill and why?
dickleyjones replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has been Allen from the phonecall at the draft: Beane "ready to be a Bill?" Allen "yes, sir" It was like they planned it all along. -
Would McDermott entertain a Charlotte offer
dickleyjones replied to Paul Costa's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
of course he would entertain it if the money was right. who wouldn't? 0.000000000000074% chance it happens though. -

@Deranged Rhino thanks for the synopsis. I hope the US can heal after all this. In Canada we are facing a similar kind of "division". A very small minority of people on each "side" are loud and get media attention and clicks making it seem like everyone's going nuts, the west is gonna secede, corruption is a new thing, mudslinging is more important than policy, any scandal is the nail in the coffin, etc. My take is the media is enabling it all for dollars, and politicians buy into it because being silent is death (not that it should be). Teaching kids self control and critical thinking might help the next generation destroy this monster we have created.

I just need to watch this again....and again
dickleyjones replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sorry, I thought you might have some evidence to back up your opinion. Now I know it's just a baseless and irrelevant statement. Thanks for clarifying. -

How do you know that? Do you have a personal connection with all nfl head coaches? -
Our Offensive Strategy May Not Be to Win
dickleyjones replied to Tolstoy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's a poor theory considering the talent required to coach in the NFL at all. I agree. However, winning is something to be learned as well so they try to keep games close while teaching Josh. -
This team is still a year away
