Big Turk Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 LOL, I love this!! Marrone pulled Spiller aside and said "The difference between me and you is I would be in their faces telling them what I thought of their blocking" and that it was up to Spiller to go do that... Oline pass blocked very well today, but got eaten alive against a very tough Jet run front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He's right. The run blocking has been sorry at best. Pass blocking has been pretty good tho so far. Let's hope they get back to their mauling ways. The loss of a LG shouldn't change things that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Spiller should get in Hackett's face. His "here is the ball" running up the middle from the shotgun play that he calls doesn't play to Spiller's strength. Chan knew how to get Spiller the ball I'm space where he could use his speed (counters, screens, sweeps, pitches, reverses). Spiller isn't a run between the tackles back like Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Spiller is having problems reading holes that are right in front of him. It wasn't as glaring yesterday as it's been in other games this season because the Jets were kicking the BILLS collective asses on running plays but it's been a problem all year.

Spiller did very well out of the shotgun running up the middle without bouncing it left every other play. It was part of Chan's pop gun and Fitz's audible.

billsfan_34 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Levitre gone = Spiller production down ....he is missing holes at times as well. So its a combination of both. Looks like the Bills will be looking for a RB soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiller isn't a run between the tackles back like Fred However we won 6 games a year with Chan...Very good chance this staff beats that ion there first year. Falcons, Bucs, Jags and Dolphins all very beatable teams and then we play the Pats in week 17 which should be a meaningless game to them by then. Spiller hasn't been 100% for much of the season and addition he has had a carousel of inexperienced QBs . With Fitz there wasn't anything schematically he couldn't digest. My point is that Hackett is somewhat handcuffed with the players he has. there is a reason Chan isnt on a coaching staff at the present time.

With Fitz under center and with draw plays and counters perhaps. Fitz didn't stand in shotgun and say here is the ball now run up the middle like they do now. Big difference.

bmur66 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'd trade Spiller in a heartbeat. He doesn't seem to fit this offense or something. Can't just keep running into the back of your O lineman, bouncing out to the left and getting flattened. Fred gets it done and is tough as nails but he is getting up there. The Bills will have to find a replacement for him soon. I'd trade Spiller for his replacement or a decent draft pick right now. Maybe he will make me eat these words but I ain't seeing it.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Levitre gone = Spiller production down ....he is missing holes at times as well. So its a combination of both. Looks like the Bills will be looking for a RB soon. Can we stop with this myth? Chris Johnson is averaging a career low 3.8 ypc this year. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/11258/chris-johnson While Levitre is certainly better than our current LGs, he is not known as a great run blocker. There are a number of reasons for Spiller's dropoff. Injuries (high ankle sprains are one of the worst injuries a rb can have) and game plan (Gailey was great at getting Spiller in space). Hopefully, the bye week helps him get healthy and Hackett watches tape of Spiller from last year. It's pretty crazy that this offense can put up 30 on a really good defense with Spiller having a game like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Anyone that wants spiller gone is clueless IMO. And like Ricky bobby says "with all due respect" We need a banger to replace Fred (age) and assist CJ as he fits a 2 back system well. Defenses always have an eye on Spiller as he is such a weapon.

It wasn't as glaring yesterday as it's been in other games this season because the Jets were kicking the BILLS collective asses on running plays but it's been a problem all year. There's some truth to that, no doubt. But yesterday he was hit in the backfield on 4-5 plays. Pathetic blocking, perhaps. Bad play-calling, maybe. Just didn't look good.
