It's the outside zone the OL and backs really struggled with..............but if they are still trying that you have to believe that McDermott wants it............probably because he hates to defend it.
It seems counterintuitive to take existing talent that might be adequate enough to have the league's highest scoring offense in 2022 in one style and then have to replace or move several of them to fit into outside zone better.
I just think you can do a more from inside zone. For one thing........having the primary RB target point being the gap between the guard and the tackle is a lot more realistic for guys like Singletary and Moss than having the target point being outside the tackle. Inside zone also generally gives you 3 options.....2 cut backs........where outside is mostly just outside and then possibly the backside A gap cutback. And Roman proved you can mix gap/pin and pull very nicely with a primarily inside zone attack. Not that you can't do it as an outside zone based group but it's a lot to ask.
A lot more running in general for the OL playing OZ as well.........unless of course you are so bad at it that you don't actually get to run it much.
I think you can get way more options for RPOs if you are building it off wide zones.

I don't see Morse or Beasley back at their current cap numbers. Morse has the 4th highest cap hit for a center in the NFL. He's a good player but I think they'll be looking to either get that number down or find a similar player at a lower number.

Another connection not really getting attention is that he worked as an assistant with James Cregg in Denver (they were both under Dennison) who has been the LSU OL coach and run game coordinator since 2018 which means he'd have a connection to Joe Brady.
I know everyone is pounding the table for Munchak because he's got a great track record but I think they might be trying to find the right fit of running game that is going to mesh with our passing scheme and concepts (RPOs, PA, etc.) and it didn't surprise me that they would want a wide zone guy.

As long as they can find a trade partner for Sam Darnold(they might have to send a draft pick with him), I think the Panthers make alot of sense for Mitch as they'll be looking for a starting QB and will not be going through the draft and don't really have the draft capital to trade for one.
-
Just going to say that he's been on the same staff as Mike Shula and Pat Shurmur, who both have strong connections to our coaching staff (Shurmur coached with McDermott in Philly and Shula coached with McDermott and Dorsey in Carolina), so he'd have a good resource to find out if he wanted to come here.
I also think it's a good bet that one of Shula or Shurmur could be our next QB coach.
Also, he's a Penn State guy just like Pegula.

Those who thought the Bills would just hand the job to Dorsey without interviewing candidates were fooling themselves.
That said, I really hope they don't bring in a short passing game WCO guy. Totally the wrong thing for Allen.
Bennett is about to fired in Vegas for whoever McDaniels is going to bring in. I'd bet this guy will be our RB coach.

What the absolute F are we doing. I don't want to hear about the Rooney rule, stop with that, there are minority candidates with better credentials than this like Pep Hamilton.
Pep Hamilton will be Jim Harbaugh's OC wherever he lands.

If I were him and looking for a good landing spot in the NFL... I would absolutely have desired the Vikings' job. That division is ripe for the taking, and by extension, the NFC's balance of power is up for grabs in the near and mid-term.
The AFC is an absolute gauntlet. AFC East, you need to find a formula to top a 25 year old Josh Allen, and the turd that wont flush Bill belichick. After that, there are like 8 up and coming teams, Broncos could get Rodgers, and even the stinky teams still have potential at QB.
Vikings GM was on the staff in SF when Harbaugh was there. Plus the Vikings can clear the cap space for Rodgers if they find someone to trade for Cousins ($35 million owed in salary which considering the recent extensions is about market value for him). Pretty sure Rodgers would love to play GB twice a year.

Fair point. Fangio is an excellent DC.
He's always surrounded himself with excellent coaches and runs a strong coaching program. He's a weirdo and his style can be exhausting but he's an excellent HC. Would rather he wasn't in MIA.
The problems in SF in the end were in the front office.

Daboll improved after moving from the sidelines to the booth.
Anyone think returning to the sidelines will have a negative impact on his play calling? I certainly do.
I think that's why he really wants Dorsey to come with him. He'll need an OC that he really trusts to see the same things as him coverage wise in the booth to help diagnosing coverages.

He didn’t really turn around Michigan. They were about the same with him as Brady hoke in terms of beating decent teams. He did finally get to the playoffs but was non competitive. Winning the big 10 and beating your rival once in 7 years is a very low standard for what used to be a great program. Jmo
I thought he did fine at Michigan. My main concern with Harbaugh is the coaching staff that he brings with him.
Unless Vic Fangio gets a HC job, he'll be there as DC. Harbaugh is connected to a lot of good assistants. So I think that's a problem.

Really starting to like the Joe Brady idea a lot. Young guy with fresh ideas who learned from the best. Matt Rhule is mouth breather who threw Brady under the bus.My worry with Brady is the little details of running an offense if he were to be the main guy. Very talented and creative coach but something in Carolina that was a problem was pass protection details. I think you'd need to pair him with other experienced offensive assistants. Not saying that isn't possible and there are coaches on the Saints staff that he would have relationships with that I'd be looking to poach but I don't think it's a situation where you could just drop him in as OC with our current staff.
I think Pederson is just more experienced for what we would need from the OC which really would be the #1 voice in the offensive room.
Dorsey would be somewhat status quo but with some question marks about how he will call games and lead weekly preparation.
So I think my order would be:
1. Dorsey (and hope he takes the next steps as playcaller). Maybe bring in an experienced OC as an assistant.
2. Pederson
3. Brady

Yeah but he made a mistake before that and that's what this thread is about.
Nobody wanted the job. He wanted Daboll in the first year but Daboll wasn't interested (off the record though).
Everyone assumed the team was tanking.
-
Players? I'll guess and say:
Boettger
Feliciano
Beasley
Siran Neal

When he said, unsolicited, that "Cole can still play in this league".........that was comical.
If they bring him back I will be f*cking shocked. 😆
Pretty sure that was code for "Hey Joe and Brian, if you want Cole Beasley, you'll have to trade me something for him."

Lol the word is if he is gone the. Scott O,Brien takes over and since he was i
at Alabama with Mac he may even help him develop faster.
That said I am fine with McDaniels leaving IMO his play calling is way to predictable.
Bill O'Brien never coached Mac at Alabama

Not sure why people think running the ball more is what the Bills offense needs… just get Josh some more weapons outside and better protection while mixing in some runs to keep the defense honest.
The only time this offense looked good this year against above average competition was when the threat of Allen running was there. You need to mix in runs so the DL can't simply pin their ears back and pass rush every play and those runs need to not be negative plays. Plenty of teams are able to mix run and pass, have offensive success, and with lesser QBs.
Secondly, Barkley had 90 catches out the backfield his rookie year and averages over 4 catches per game. He's a threat in the pass game.
If the money and trade price makes sense, I'd be all over this move. He'll likely be cheaper than free agent options like Pollard or Edmunds.

To induce vomit, but also because he is an E-P system guyFor this OC hire, E-P is secondary to having a strong grasp of the RPO game IMO. That's why the Bills were trying to transition to more zone blocking overall. It's a major part of our offense and Allen's success. I think they will want to continue that RPO stuff with a more effective ground game(means different style OL) while still taking deep shots down field.
To me, that screams Pederson as that was his whole offense those first years with Wentz. I know it ended poorly for him there but there were a lot of other factors going on. (Long story short: Wentz regression, FO made him bring in Scangerello and Morningweg which muddied up the offensive system, etc). He's a good offensive coach who actually got alot of the offensive talent that he had when you really step back and look at it.
The other RPO guy I'd like is Joe Brady. He definitely wants an NFL gig. Would have a connection to McD from both playing for Jimmye Laycock at William and Mary. He's currently rumored for the Miami Hurricanes OC job under Cristobal but we all know that Cristobal and McD run in the same circles and share philosophies so I think there's a strong connection there.

I like this idea a lot actually. Brady didn’t quite get a fair shake going to work for Matt Rhule who seems like he is all over the place.I think I like Doug Pederson as my first choice based on his body of work but I'm warning up to the Joe Brady idea despite how inexperienced he is.
-
FYI Joe Brady was a WR for 4 years and then a coach for 2 years under Jimmye Laycock at William and Mary, which we all know is McDermott's alma mater.
He also worked with Sean Payton who runs a combo WCO with E-P.
Most importantly, he's a big RPO proponent which is actually alot of our base offensive design.
Just saying there's a connection there.

I expected Quinn to get another shot before he was done.... but within a year? I mean I just don't know if the full body of work in Atlanta justifies that. But likeable people interview well that should never be underestimated. Owners are humans too.
I thought it would take Quinn a few years re-proving himself running a defense to get his name back out there, but I think obviously the quick turnaround that the Dallas defense made has pushed him back to the top of alot of lists.
Atlanta had issues in the front office IMO as well as what happened to them after they choked away the SB.
If you're a team like Denver who doesn't want to go into a complete overhaul, I think he is a good fit.

As with most things, everyone is trying to add or complicate things with OT. I think the answer is really simple. Get rid of the coin toss altogether.
At both the start of the game and in OT, Home team gets the option to receive, kick, or defer just like if they had won the coin toss.
No more OTs "coming down to a coin toss." Also makes earning home field advantage much more important(as it should be).
With OT, everyone will know the stakes well before the game even starts which I think is part of if not most of the issue.

Those QBs will likely all beat up on each other. Did we all just forget what the AFC was like with Brady, Manning, Big Ben, and Rivers in it for 15 years? Save for Rivers, those QBs all won Super Bowls.

I've been watching ESPN's countdown show & among all the things said was when they were talking about the fact that there is a tarp over the field at Highmark because they don't want the turf to freeze & get hard which could cause concussions, Mortensen mentioned that the new stadium will have a grass field with a heating system underneath like in GB & KC. I have no idea how he knows that or thinks he knows that, but that's what he said.
Mort has had a great source within the Bills organization since the Pegulas took over. I can remember specifically he had scoops on several Bills related news items. I would trust his info.

With the 25th Pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select...
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
With a late 1st round pick, I'm looking to get the most talented player who can be a starter. I don't need to chase a Chiefs stopper or a speed need. You can get defensive depth in FA and you can get speed past the 1st round. Also, I think we have several positional needs so I don't think its right to hone in on absolutely getting a CB with 25th pick or absolutely getting a speed WR there either. That said, I'm hoping one of these guys is available with that pick:
CB Roger McCreary
CB Ahmad Gardner
WR Chris Olave
WR Jameson Williams
DE David Ojabo
CB makes alot of sense to me not just because its a need position ton but because they will be able to get a cheap 1st round contract to pair with Tre White's for the next few years. I don't think they'll have the cap flexibilty to spend at this position in FA in future years and I would expect us to take a CB early and in the mid rounds.
I'm also looking to trade down out of this pick if we can get and extra 2 and 3. I might rather have multiple 2s and 3s in this draft TBH.
