HappyDays Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/09/qb_coach_david_culley_says_buffalo_bills_cant_wait_to_unleash_tyrod_taylor.html The offense will not look like it has in preseason. Book it. Highlights: That's all going to change Sunday, according to Culley. "He can't wait to unleash it," Culley said. "And let me tell you this, we can't wait to unleash him. We're excited about Sunday with him. He can't wait. Again, talking about the preseason and maybe his struggles, we never saw it like that. We saw him as he's trying to get better at things. He's still learning a different offense. He's still learning how to be more comfortable in the pocket, and he did all that stuff. So we're comfortable with the fact that he's going through the process. Now, I would have liked for him to have not had a concussion against Baltimore and played into the third quarter, but that didn't happen. It is what it is." "But he was doing exactly during the preseason what we wanted him to do. Now that we're into the regular season, we just want him to be himself. These were just things that we wanted to work on to get better at. You play the game the way you play the game. He's an intelligent enough kid that he knows who he is, he knows what he is. Those things that we want to get him to improve on, he has worked tremendously to do that." "Defenses don't want him to use his feet," Culley said. "He hasn't used it a whole lot during the preseason. That's been intentional. Now, you'll just see him be what he naturally does. We hope that's what he continues to do."

JM2009 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hope so. But why get rid of Watkins. His deep ball is one of the best in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I hope TT can anticipate where the WR's will be and throw it over the middle/see the middle. Those are his biggest issues, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hope so. But why get rid of Watkins. His deep ball is one of the best in the NFL. I don't understand it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hope so. But why get rid of Watkins. His deep ball is one of the best in the NFL. I know it's a tough decision to accept but I do trust McBeane on this. Sammy did not fit the culture they're trying to build. He complained publicly to the media about his targets and talked about raising the bar for receiver contracts. That's not the type of player McBeane wants here and he has injury issues that are possibly going to creep up again. We're going to play ball like KC did yesterday I'm guessing. Run the ball, short passes, go deep a couple times a game. It is a recipe for success and we save a ton of cap space since we don't have to pay Sammy that money. Depending on how Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones do I think Tyrod will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones do I think Tyrod will be fine. The Chiefs only ran the ball 27 times (and that's including Smith's scrambles) versus having 35 pass attempts. We are not going to do that in any way shape or form, or we will lose every game we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Short leashed before. My question, why not give him a long leash instead of outright unleashing him? Why hasn't he been unleashed the past two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I've been crossing my fingers all preseason, hoping this would be the case. We should know for sure on Sunday. The offense we saw during August does not fit Tyrod Taylor's strengths. If this article rings true, the Bills were forcing Taylor to work on his areas of weakness during the preseason. They were forcing him to work under center, because he struggles there. They were forcing him to stay in the pocket, because they didn't want him scrambling.

We are not going to do that in any way shape or form, or we will lose every game we play. I expect us to pass the ball more than people expect. Well still be a running team primarily but I think the percentages will get back to over 50% passing. Could be wrong but that's my perception of things based on this coaching staff.

Bills757 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 For those wondering why he wasn't unleashed the past two years, remember, the only thing that was unleashed was Rex's mouth.....there wasn't room for anything else to be unleashed.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 This isn't news. It was obvious in preseason to anyone that has a clue that they were working on stuff. He will play football this week. He will move around and try to be a playmaker. The hope was to clean up some fundamentals without sacrificing his playmaking ability (just sacrificing his playmakers). They took the preseason to try to clean that up.
