MILFHUNTER#518 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Looking at our new OC's pedigree, it seems like he will run a similar system to what the Patricheats run in the Evil Empire. It is called the "Erhardt-Perkins System." Did some digging, and from what I am reading we will employ a far more progressive, faster tempo offense next year. Here is where I am getting this.

There was a thread on this when Daboll was hired. Rosen would be the perfect pick for that system which is why I think if us or the Pats move up to #2, he's the pick.

TigerJ Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would have no problem with Chan Gailey as and OC. Greg Roman did some nice things with the run game as an OC but failed as a passing offense strategist. But then his QB was Tyrod Taylor. Nate Hackett had some nice ideas but needed a bit more seasoning as his relative success with Jacksonville demonstrates. Alabama doesn't really show much of anything about Brian Daboll's abilities as an OC. Everybody on Nick Saban's staff does what Nick Saban tells him to do. Daboll would have started the QB who won the national championship for the Crimson Tide much earlier in the season, but Nick Saban said no. I'll wait and see what Daboll does before i write him off.

But he hasn't worked as a NFL OC since his time with Belichick and Saban - until now. It's hard to know what kind influence those two may have had on him and how much he may have learned over the years. I have zero expectations. We'll know what kind of OC he is when we see the offense he fields. two things are certain. he can't be any worse than dennison and ajm won't be any worse than tyrod. i'll take it.

MrEpsYtown Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 No idea what is going to happen, but I do like the fact that we have the guy who was being groomed to replace McDaniels if he left NE. Ultimately, I am glad that McDermott got his guy. I think it is clear that Daboll is his guy and I feel like he wanted Daboll last year as well. He never seemed all in on the Dennison decision or even Tyrod. It was just a weird time with Whaley still around etc. Daboll going to Bama was a very clever way to get out from under Belicheck and to Buffalo. I know Belicheck doesn't hold his assistants back, but to a division rival he would. Would he keep Daboll from going to work with his butt buddy Saban? No, so Daboll goes to Bama for a year knowing full well he was likely headed here after the season. Last year was the "f-it let's see what happens" year. Now Beane and Daboll are in place and they are ready to get that quarterback. The choices made in the next few weeks are going to be critical to the next 5-10 years of this franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thread, btw. I have no problem with you being Debbie Downer. In the case of this particular OC you know with almost certainty he's going to use the Erhardt Perkins offense. It's all Daboll has ever known. We know this offense to be the most QB-centric approach in football. It focuses on versatile skill position players that can line up all over the field and handle a fairly easy communication scheme. It is neither run nor pass centric, neither fast paced nor methodical. I've argued the OPs side before; he'd never really developed a positional player to stardom. But a great deal of the benefit of the EP approach is that it de-emphasizes specificity in drafting particular skills and emphasizes flexibility. Flexible players are not those designed to stardom, generally. Look at the skill set players we've brought in for visits: Goedert, Penny, Samuels. I don't know these guys specifically but their write-ups tell me a story of players that do multiple things well. And either your QB has it or he doesn't - accuracy and timing, as I've detailed elsewhere, is not a skill set you develop in the NFL. QBs are remarkably consistent in their completion percentage for the first four to six years in the pros. He is going to run the same play he has been running all day and the success is going to be based on pre-snap reads. Again: the massive interest in Baker Mayfield, and Falk, and Rudolph. To a lesser degree, Rosen. It strikes me that either McCarron or Nate Peterman would be excellent at running this type of offense. It wouldn't surprise me in the least that the HC's fascination with Peterman played a (small) role in Daboll getting hired. IMO, there are limited trigger men in this draft that fill the bill for Buffalo and Daboll. But I think my favorite Buffalo targets are known. I would think that they have ruled out Josh Allen; they might be intrigued with Lamar Jackson because he comes from the same offense, but he hasn't been truly successful. I'm not sure if Daboll will be successful but either you get the right QB for him or you are absolutely, positively sunk. The Bills should float okay with McCarron and even Peterman. But either the QB can complete the pass or he can't and no downfield passing is going to temper that. A pre-snap read should be the simplest thing to teach in the NFL - easier than changing footwork, easier than manipulating your throwing motion. It's going to be a pretty interesting year.
