Buffalo Bills Fan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Major upgrade over Kelly Skipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Upgrade is an understatement. I would not only make him RB coach, but make him the run game coordinator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm surprised that the Steelers weren't that high in rushing yardage with all the Bell and Conner hype. They were both fantasy studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerlyofCtown Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yes because their RBs have not been up to snuff the past few years. Is this really the guy they are blaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If you're just looking at this past season, that's pretty short sighted IMHO. The Bills were without Wood and Cogs and their OLine sucked terribly. The OLine coach was shown the door because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Saying a running back coach is great because his running backs do well is really stupid. If you want to thank any position coach for their run game success, you should probably look to O-Line coach ... or the fact that they have a good passing offense as well, which opens up the run game. There's a reason this guy got fired despite their running success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessAccepted Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Why is it that whenever anyone becomes available (player or coach) I learn about it from a thread where people are suggesting that we pick them up. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see I said “could be” an upgrade ... not that I believe he is. The reason I say “could be” is because the Bills were a terrible at running the ball and the Steelers weren’t. Of course other things factor into it, including the OL which is being addressed, but to assume the RB coach is unable to get upgraded when looking to improve the offense seems a stretch. I didn’t say it was an obvious upgrade. Also, what has Kelly Skipper accomplished? Honest question.. I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Thank god the Steelers got rid of the real problem with the team. This will take care of everything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This guy did a great job with the Steelers. Clearly the Steelers have a better OL than the Bills, but he went from Bell, to Connor, to Sanders, who was never really a RB, all performing at a high level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Check out this stat of Saxon's. "In 18 NFL seasons as a running backs coach, Saxon had one of his backs reach the Pro Bowl 15 times. " It also looks like he previously coached here. https://triblive.com/sports/steelers/14479194-74/rbs-coach-james-saxon-let-go-after-5-years-with-steelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we could mostly only debate players/coaches that would actually be an upgrade or that we have a realistic shot at getting. Just sayin...
