hondo in seattle Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Pat Morris is out. According the statistical gurus at Pro Football Focus, the Bills run blocking was ranked dead last in the NFL in 2014. That won't shock any Bills fans who say goodbye to Morris with minimal sorrow. To replace him, the Bills are interviewing... Chris Foerster. (Redskins OL Coach). Foerster's OL this past season was ranked 9th in pass blocking, 21st in run blocking - 12th overall. In 2013, Foerster's OL was ranked 5th overall. Mike Solari. (49ers OL Coach). Solari's OL this past season was ranked 16th in pass blocking and 5th in run blocking - 9th overall. In 2013, Solari's OL was ranked 9th overall. I'm not clear on why either guy is being allowed to interview for a lateral move. And I'm not sure if the Bills are interviewing anyone else for the position. Both guys have ties to Roman. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/158770/redskins-grant-bills-permission-to-interview-chris-foerster https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/01/08/2014-pff-offensive-line-rankings/3/ Edited January 14, 2015 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Most teams with Headless Coaching staffs let the rest of the former coach's staff do their own thing because there is no guarantee that the new head honcho will retrain any of them. Both the 9ers and the Skins are headless at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can tell you this: There is def something going down with Foerster, maybe a shakeup w the Redskins staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Anyone know anything about either of these two guys? Man, I would love to see Freddy and CJ have actual lanes to run through! Most teams with Headless Coaching staffs let the rest of the former coach's staff do their own thing because there is no guarantee that the new head honcho will retrain any of them. Both the 9ers and the Skins are headless at the mo. Good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wait, the Bills ARE interviewing Solari? I hadn't seen any reports indicating that the Bills received permission to interview him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 There was a blurb a couple days ago that the Bills were interested in talking to Bill Callahan, the OL coach of the Cowboys. They just re-signed Garrett today but it's unknown which of the assistants are coming back. Six teams are allegedly interested in Callahan, who is a great OL coach. Wait, the Bills ARE interviewing Solari? I hadn't seen any reports indicating that the Bills received permission to interview him. I believe that we were granted permission to talk to him, but he is waiting to find out what the 49ers are going to do for HC before he negotiates with the Bills.

Has ties to Rex as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The Cowboys OL made their backs and QB look better than ever. PFF had them ranked #1 overall. He put 3 of the Jets OL in the Pro Bowl when he was on Rex's staff. Guys a very good OL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I just talked to Foersters son. Apparently Chris is Romans choice for OC but if Rex wants someone else than he'll follow Gase wherever he ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've been told it's going to be Chris Forester, and it's an outstanding hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
