Daboll could learn a thing or two More then half his 1st half completions were to RB's. I think part of our problem on offense is we may have the worst set of RB's in the NFL - pending whether Singleterry is the real deal or not. We just don't know about him yet but the Gore/Yeldon combination is weak - very weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singletary so far has looked stellar too. I don't think they are the reason Allen isn't checking down. I'm of the opinion that the Pats let Gore run wild because they knew he wasn't a threat to take it to the house and that he wasn't a threat to carry the ball 20 - 25 times for 150 - 200 yards. Against a lot of other NFL teams yesterday's Pats defensive scheme would have been shredded by a relentless ground game. But we don't have the ability to run the ball effectively. Sure we got a couple of big plays but the Pats were willing to pay that price in order to keep Allen in the pocket and to blitz the hell out of him. As for Yeldon he's not done anything of note in the passing game. In a league where RB's routinely catch 7 - 8 passes per game a couple of flair passes out of the backfield is underwhelming. I'm as high as you are on Singleterry's POTENTIAL. But he's missed the last two games and all we've seen is a flash of brilliance. And running screen plays are called plays NOT check downs. Yesterday, in spite of playing a Pat's D which blitzed on almost every other play, the Bills only attempted one screen pass. Football 101 demands that you throw screen passes to defeat the blitz. Why didn't we? I believe that in part we don't throw screens because with Singleterry out of the line-up Gore & Yeldon just aren't very good at it. And while we're on the subject of checking down to your RB's how the hell is Allen supposed to do that if his RB's are NOT in the backfield but lined up in the spread? They ran empty backfield sets all game. Pittsburgh makes it easy to check down to the RB because that's what they want to do. For some reason Dabold thought we could slice the Pat's secondary up with intermediate & deep routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a newly overhauled offensive team that has 4 new OL out of 5, 2 new WRs and two rookie TE’s. The QB has 15 starts ( most of which were behind an inferior OL with few good WR targets. They still lack an elite WR. The offense is a work in progress at best, and many players are in their first year of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm speaking about in general with the caveat that Gore & Yeldon are in the backfield. I agree that Singleterry likely would have made a huge difference. And when he's played the early returns are promising that he'll be a difference maker in our run game. But Singleterry just hasn't played enough for us to see how big a difference he'll truly be. But with Yeldon & Gore in the backfield we don't run the ball well; we don't get good production from the RB's in the passing game and for some reason we don't run screen passes with them. I think it's a combination of Gore & Yeldon not being among the upper half of RB's in the league and a scheme which puts our RB's in the spread far to often.
