Buffalo716 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 EP is just the system used for terminology...realistically it doesn’t have to do with pushing the pace or doing this or that... that is all on the weekly game plan... I hope Daboll has improved a lot since his last stints because we need some innovation and play to our strengths 2 hours ago, Shaw66 said: What does EP have to do with roster decisions? My understanding is that all NFL teams run more or less the same plays, regardless of nomenclature. They run the same routes. Receivers have same opportunity to get open or not. What does EP have to do with it? I've said this before: If EP were so obviously better, why doesn't every team use it? Until someone has explained it better, I don't see what the big deal is. You are correct and we had this talk before ... football is 100 years old everybody runs the same stuff generally. its all about terminology and making it easier on players

I'm not convinced the OL will be bad but there are not a lot of compelling reasons to believe it will be good. But again, it'll be interesting to see what Daboll can do. Chan - for all his flaws - was able to manufacture offensive production with a weak OL and a comparatively talent-poor roster in general. We lost a couple of good linemen, so its easy to assume they won't be as good as a unit. I guess we'll have to wait and see how their replacements do before coming to conclusions there, but I think what will be more of an issue early on will be the lack of chemistry between a lineman and the man next to him. Offensive lines always take a few games to gel, but Richie and Wood played many games next to each other. Dawkins is still young, but he'll have someone new next to him as well. There's been a few moving parts on the line from 2016 to 2017, and they did alright, so maybe that continues and improves over time, but losing those two guys will probably be evident for a while.
