chris heff Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Excellent, Did they confirm to you he has accepted the position? I asked if he was on board he just smiled. Green Owl? They would never go to the Green Owl, not with all that Steelers crap everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I posted this in another thread in response to a poster who said Roman has done very little in developing QBs. I thought it appropriate to this thread: Roman's rushing offenses finished in the top 8 (3 in the top 5) each of his four years in SF. We need to improve the O line and running game first. Then I would like to see what Roman can do with EJ and whoever else is on the roster this spring. I look at what he did with Alex Smith, who, IMO, is the kind of QB that fits a team with a strong defense and strong running game: 2009 (Before Roman) 11 games, completed 60 % of his passes, with 18 TDs, 12 INTs, and 81.5 Rating 2010 (Before Roman) 11 games, completed 59 % of his passes, with 14 TDs, 10 INTs, and 82.1 Rating 2011 (With Roman) 18 games, completed 61% of his passes, with 22 TDs, 5 INTs, and 92.1 Rating 2012 (With Roman) 9 games, completed 70% of his passes, with 13 TDs, 5 INTs, and 100.4 Rating Then Harbaugh decided to stay with Kaepernick 2012 62% of his passes, with 14 TDs, 5 INTs, and a 99 Rating 2013 58% of his passes, with 24 TDs, 11 INTs, and a 88.7 Rating 2014 61% of his passes, with 19 TDs, 10 INTs, and a 86.4 Rating I think Roman did all right with developing young QBs. If any QBs for Buffalo, in a four year period, completed over 60% of their passes for 92 TDs, 36 INTs, and over a 90 Rating, we would be ecstatic... I was one of the posters negatively commenting on Roman's ability to develop a passing attack. And I maintain some of my reservations. But these stats - especially the improvement in Alex Smith when he started working with Roman - make me hope I'm wrong. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What an awesome coaching staff. Tons of experience. Tons of energy. BRING IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I love it. I can't think of a better fit for an OC. I was leery if him as a head coach but with Schwartz reportedly staying this looks like a really talented coaching squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgang Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 If this were a swap, I'd take Ryan and Roman over Marrone and Hackett every day of the week and twice on Sundays. I think the Pegulas did very well handling this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This is why TBD is the best. Our fans are a network of eyes and ears that sometimes scoops the media. Between Leroi and now Chris, this board has become the cutting edge way to know what is going to happen with the Bills. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 To me, the Roman hire puts all this over the top and makes me almost giddy. He is top shelf. He knows qbs. I would trust him to identify a qb who maybe would have been overlooked by everyone else. If we get Callahan to coach the oline... oh man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
