GoBills808 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 One immediate thing is I would imagine they'll use the RBs as receivers quite a bit more than we've seen the past two years. It helps Taylor with an easier read (and addresses the overall lack of talent at wideout) and gets McCoy into space where he's dangerous...Tolbert is also a very capable receiver. When Dennison was OC for the Texans Foster caught almost 6 passes a game, McCoy's been at around three over the last two years and I expect that will about double.

stevestojan Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Get a first down ? Easy... this is the 2017 season we're talking about. Not the 19-0 2018 season we're building for. Be realistic please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r00tabaga Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm guessing it's going to be "move the ball and score points." But I could easily be wrong. You couldn't be more wrong DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) It's gonna be a long year for Shady if our QB's can't get first downs on passing situations. Penalties will also be a factor. Poop on Taylor all you want but its a lot to ask of any QB to constantly bail you out of 2 and 20 and 3rd and 15 when the refs keep subtracting yards. Especially a team geared to run the ball. Edited August 30, 2017 by billsbackto81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro_tull Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It wasn't very exciting watching the Rick Dennison / Trevor Semian show last year at Denver- kind of reminded me of when Matt Cassell ran the Bills offense- long drives with lots of first downs but it seemed like they were actually losing yardage as the end zone kept getting farther away. Yet somehow the broncos had 2 wide receivers over 1000 yards last season on the way to their 9 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills do a good job of that all on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I have to think they are simply going to spread the D out with 3 WRs and try to give McCoy more room to run. They will pretty much run as much as last year, if not more...allowing Taylor to audible to a pass on first down if he sees a mismatch (safety on a WR or a big hole in a zone). The thing that I think is overlooked a alot is the TYPE of WRs they have now. Andre Holmes hasn't played well in preseason, but I read a few articles on him (Raiders message boards and an article on Bleacher report) that say he is very good at blocking for a WR. Jorden Mathews the same thing. They signed Bolden and he is known as one of the best blocking WR's in the game. So basically, they are going to try to spread the D-out a bit...and win outside 'run blocking' matchups with Very good blocking WR's. With Taylor, I think identifying mismatches to audible out of a run into a pass will pretty much be the majority of his pre-snap reads. I'm pretty sure you will see this team have more than 500 rushing attempts this year. Run, Run and Run some more, I don't believe they signed 2 FB's by accident, 1 will block, Tolbert will handle goaline duties, McCoy will do everything and Williams will spell him. As far as the passing game goes, I think it'll be alot of short passes, bubble screens etc., quick passing routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
