cover1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A big decision looms, so I decided to look over some of the bad choices Taylor made in 2016. There weren't many interceptions to breakdown, but they were different mistakes than 2015, versus different coverages and he obviously played without his #1 WR.

stowellez Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 That was great stuff! ...the analysis, not the INTs. Thanks! Is Tyrod the answer for us going forward? Absolutely perhaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagon Circler Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The interesting stat in the link is that he dropped back to pass over 100 times this season and didn't throw it. That right thar is the problem! Either he can't see the whole field or he doesn't trust what he sees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) The interesting stat in the link is that he dropped back to pass over 100 times this season and didn't throw it. That right thar is the problem! Either he can't see the whole field or he doesn't trust what he sees. 42 of those would be sacks I assume. That leaves 58 dropbacks (3.87 per game) and he averaged 6.3 rush attempts per game per Pro Football Reference, so it seems to fit (60% of his runs are broken plays, 40% are designed runs).

Dorkington Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Unsurprising that Tyrod was much better with Sammy vs without. I know the response will be 'other teams have injuries...' and to that I say 'unless you have an all time great QB, they will be impacted by missing your WR1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Cause no other NFL QB made bad choices last year If that's what you derived from his commentary you should watch it again. He was more than fair in his breakdowns and complimented the opposition on multiple occasions. This wasn't a bash video.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I thought the snaps under center vs. shotgun was a bit telling on our overall strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cover1 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I thought the snaps under center vs. shotgun was a bit telling on our overall strategy. It's something that has to change if TT is back. I understand why they do it, but we need him under center more. Look at TT in the Kubiak/Dennison offense: https://twitter.com/Cover1Bills/status/828050093148426242 Nice work. Thanks! If you have any suggestions or ideas let me know. 42 of those would be sacks I assume. That leaves 58 dropbacks (3.87 per game) and he averaged 6.3 rush attempts per game per Pro Football Reference, so it seems to fit (60% of his runs are broken plays, 40% are designed runs). Here are the stats according to PFF. 529 dropbacks 42 sacks 51 scrambles 25 throwaways 7 batted passes 1 spike 21 drops 6 INTs So 396 total aimed passes-269 completions Edited February 23, 2017 by cover1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at TT in the Kubiak/Dennison offense: [url= ]https://twitter.com/Cover1Bills/status/828050093148426242[/url This has been my question since we hired Dennison. Given the WCO concepts he incorporates and the frequent use of play action, it is imperative that TT get comfortable under center. But will Dennison trust him with his back to the defense on those plays, which are a staple in his schemes? i think it's an important consideration.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 "That answer should be coming in the next couple of weeks, and I expect there to be an uproar, regardless of what the Bills decide."

Yes, because in the end there are a lot of half field reads and high low concepts, things TT has done the last couple years.

K-9 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yes, because in the end there are a lot of half field reads and high low concepts, things TT has done the last couple years. I can appreciate this, but when we describe a QB in terms of limited reads, it says a lot about his ability as a QB. Simply put, if a QB cannot routinely use the entire field to attack a defense, he is too easy to defend in this league. Especially vs. better DCs who are already very good at limiting space, taking away what you do best in the process, and daring you to beat them with what they know you aren't comfortable with doing. I fully understand I'm talking about the vast majority of QBs in this league when I say that so it's not so much a knock on TT as it is a comment on the state of QBing in today's league. My hope is that TT can become a good QB from under center because I am a fan of good play action. When an OL can sell run action and a QB can sell that fake, it's a thing of beauty.

I don't want to speak for Erik, because the man knows his X's and O's as well as anyone... For me, my opinion is that Dennison will want to use boot-action and moving pockets from under-center looks to help vary the route concepts and keep the defense honest. It's not a great substitute for a QB that can make full-field reads on a routine basis, but it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
