Bocephuz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Last year we were at our best with Qb lining up under center , a fullback and the power run game. Opened up play action and generally gave us an identity. Ravens game was a good example Hackett has gone shotgun crazy. Way more opportunities for deception under center than in shotgun. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Dixon and Brown were picking up yards again today. I don't know why we didn't adjust the plan at half to emphasize the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draws were there all second half. No idea why we didn't run them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 it's the false hope a guy like Orton gives you, he completes a couple of wow passes but when defenses adjust and things look more forced and results are not the same. Not his fault, he is who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault, he is who he is. Yeah but can we extend his contract already? What if he opts out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 They don't know what they're doing. No plan. No identity. Now it's clear no one on the O is on the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first_and_ten Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I for one hope that Orton is playing for Marrone next year.........on another team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Dixon and Brown were picking up yards again today. I don't know why we didn't adjust the plan at half to emphasize the run. The Bills ended the game with a 2.8 ypc avg with 19 rushes for 54 yards. The run game isn't working so the entire offense falls on the shoulders of the QB, and that only goes so far with a limited game planner / play caller. The red zone offense was bad under EJ, and just as bad under Orton because there is no imagination, no ingenuity from the coaches. I do agree with the OP to build a power run game. That endeavor would undertake firing this current HC & offensive staff, and hiring someone who knew WTF they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? I think you are dead wrong.....well...you asked... You can run more effectively out of shotgun when your offensive line sucks....my opinion...

Nighttime in Nigeria Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I agree with the OP. Acquire another power tailback, draft a monstrous guard or two, a blocking TE, and a fullback. Then run it down their !@#$ing throats. Although, personally, that is my favorite offense to watch. So I may be a bit biased. Edited November 14, 2014 by Nighttime in Nigeria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
