golfball323 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I was going to start a topic about this and how the slight majority of the offensive snaps should be two tight end - 2 rb sets. If its going to be a numbers game I'll take our RBs and TEs over our WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to mix it up enough to stop the front 7 from attacking as much. Even when mixing it up there is a chance that the defense will guess right and get pressure. Someone posted vids of Allen's games last year and the first one I watched he took off running and got decleated. There's always a chance the QB will get hit. Of course . Football is a violent game. Thats why the whole starting him too soon can ruin him is BS to me... he can get hurt on any play at any time... behind a good line or bad line.. you play the best QB you have in the NFL he is used to playing behind a dog**** Oline at Wyoming so it shouldn’t put him into shell shock... he was baptized By fire at Wyoming , and the cream rises and he will be baptized by fire in the NFL, and I have a feeling he will surprise (in a good way) a lot of people Edited September 13, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be something along the lines of two short passes, two screens, two middle of the field options, two outside the numbers, and two long passes. Mix that out of three or four personnel groupings and you have at least 30 options for passing. The same idea for runs. Two dives, two off tackles, two rubs or counters, two stretches, and two pitches or tosses. Mix that with your personnel groupings and there is your offense. They will most likely give him options to audible and switch the play side or audible to one of his other plays. This will allow him to play faster and still be enough to keep the opposing denfense guessing if Dabol can get the play calling improved this week. I think they will. Probably not enough to win, but I am sure they will make it simple enough so he can run it and look better doing it. I hope he plays well enough to build a base off of which he can progress. Trending up is key for this next game! Agreed. But what plays would you prioritize? I'd make sure to throw some deep routes and some deep outs - maybe out of max protect. Allen is inexperienced and has shortcomings but he does have a live arm. I'd want the D to respect that arm and defend the entire field - so that Shady might find some space in the run game.

Virgil Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Screens and deep balls. If we don’t take at least 5 shots in the game to keep the defense honest, we are hosing ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pshaw. I predict mid RPO on Sunday Allen's molar will leap from his head unprovoked and lay waste to Joey Bosa as he stand on the sideline in a walking boot, thus beginning the legend of Josh Allen.

I actually heard that Bosas foot bruise happened because he stepped on Allen’s canine... which he strategically placed on the ground ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the emphasis should be on keeping him in one piece: 2 or 3 tight ends constantly on the field, always have a safety-valve for a dump off. Winning this game - and the next couple - should be a secondary consideration. i'd run trips to one side ( and alternate), then put shady out wide with ivory in the backfield. i would alternate ivory and shady to the outside. i look to throw deep or hit shady or ivory as a checkdown. after loosening them up, i start some handoffs. come out and take it right to them. they can't press bunch formations. send foster deep on every play. shady and ivory are mismatches in space. i'd pick them apart with an uptempo pace and get em gassed.
