Boca BIlls Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 5 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Right on. In an ideal world, the OL (who are often some of the smartest guys on the team) are able to learn different skills well enough to react as rapidly with all of them. But it's better to do one thing well, than try to run 2 or 3 schemes all badly. People don't understand they are mostly the same. If you can do one type you can do them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re two great dudes,” said McCarron. “Nate is a walking angel, and he’s one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. Josh has been awesome to work with, and I’ve been trying to help him in every way I can. But we have a really good room. It’s a fun thing to be a part of.” http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-Today-Bills-QBs-work-together-during-open-competition/e960b3e4-2bfd-4442-95f3-01b82d62fbde This made me think of Savior Peterman's avatar. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I know about the blocking concepts but didn't know near enough to see how teams use them. I did a little research (albeit google searches) and it is quite interesting. Seems it is mixed as to if teams use one particular scheme or multiple. I found and interesting article about the top running teams (including Buffalo) and what schemes they used in 2016. Bills used both a Zone (inside and outside) and a Gap scheme in 2016. Lot of teams used a combination Hybrid model. Here is the article I mentioned. If other want to research I google NFL BLOCKINGS SCHEMES BY TEAM you get some good insights. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-best-offensive-line-units-by-run-concept-from-2016 59 minutes ago, Cheektowaga Chad said: Think the better question for Dabol would be, what is the base scheme or go to scheme based on your current players strengths Good question, maybe Daboll wants to try the different schemes and see which one fits his players best. My speculation of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be OC's like our old one Rick Dennision who couldnt adjust to save his life! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My speculation of course. Good research. Incidentally, I don't get the finally-a-guy-who-gets-it attitude. OCs are - generally speaking - not dummies. They all 'get it' more than the fans 'get it.' Some OCs, though, are better at turning concept into on-the-field reality. Using a combined system has its pros and cons. Mastery is the con. There's a reason Vince Lombardi had a simpler playbook than other coaches - he wanted to his players to execute at a high level more than he wanted to out-smart and out-scheme his opponent. Sounds like Daboll is at the other end of the spectrum. General George S. Patton once said something to the effect that 5% of the success of any plan depends on the plan itself - the rest is execution. I'm indifferent to Daboll's use of different blocking schemes. I want to know if he can create an offense that actually scores points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 One of Coach Daboll's imperatives is to have 11 men on the field for the plays. See, he's already ahead of Wrecks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can’t master 1, they won’t all master 2 or 3. well , let me suggest this ? Perhaps they do not need to master any One particular feature . Just become average or better at all of them ? Now some will excel in certain areas of course. so you use those as matchups on game day. this is smart. More so because it might raise the grade of the line while lessing the grade of the individual at times. Team game. Coaches need to make best use of what they have until always. If the Bills had a dominant line ? they just run " Their Game" and dare teams to stop it. I like the holistic perspective Daboll has. Time to double down on my enthusiasm about him coming to Buffalo at this point in time. I became a fan right after he was hired . Read up on him and some fine help here !
