eball Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Oh crap, more hand-wringing from local media forthcoming. RoRex's opinion of this offense and what it can do has clearly evolved since the day Rex took the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got more talent on the outside." not shocking. in fact mentioned many times during cut downs. if we spread 3 wide plus clay, with mccoy in the backfield, i think we maximize our ability to grind the other defense still. think of how chan created space and mismatches at that offenses best. take some pressure off the line. even with 2 TE personnel we have we can easily spread defenses out. its was crazy to bunch up our guys last year as we didnt have great blocking depth and just forced better run defenders than we could account for onto the field.

ChevyVanMiller Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 How about we call it the "Ground then Astound" offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense will fit the players we have. I always thought ground and pound just referred to being able to run the ball successfully - doesn't need to be up the middle every play. But the term is thought of differently by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm sure he will use the same philosophy as he does on D, multiple looks with a game plan focused on the opponent's weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I expect it's all going to be about creating space and getting the ball to guys where they can make something happen. I don't really think we have the personnel for a "ground and pound" as Shady isn't that type of back and you'd prefer to have a QB with a big arm to stretch the field vertically. Lots of quick stuff to mitigate Taylor's accuracy making pre-snap reads crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 An offensive strategy minimizing Harvin, Watkins, Clay and woods touches, is likely not a good one. I expect a heavy dose of 11 which puts your best guys on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be a "ground and move around offense" as I expect a lot of guys in motion (see Clay and Watkins and Felton) with a lot of short passing and an occasional deep sideline pass heave toward Watkins (and when healthy Goodwin).

Makes sense...They claimed "ground and pound" when they thought the Bills QB's would be average at best. The Bills QB situation looks a whole lot better now. Let's hope it continues into the regular season and let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
