Nelius Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 5 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Singletary has hads 20 carries....in 4 games. His YPC are meaningless at this point. He's an afterthought for Daboll. Their "run" game begins and ends with Frank Gore. Let's add 9 receptions and he's still at nearly 8 yards per touch. Why wouldn't you give him the ball more often? It really seems a better option than dismissing 29 touches as luck, or whatever. I truly don't understand why some are dismissing this rookie who was billed as a playmaker, and is currently living up to the hype? He just had a TD last week, where is this pessimistic attitude coming from? Of course you give him the ball more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was mentioned as a hot candidate for upcoming head coach jobs. These mentions were baffling to me as great offensive minds have their teams average 25ppg minimum.

I have no idea why this team doesn't run the ball more and utilize Singletary more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Daboll has been uninspiring and unimaginative to say the least. He's not scheming to any of the players strengths. You know who'd be a decent OC with this collection of players? Greg Roman. Yeah that's right! I said it! His skill set designing run plays with Gore (Power), Singletary (Elusive), Yeldon (Pass Catching) and a sprinkle of McKenzie (Speed) would be pretty good, IMO of course.

Bangarang Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 If Daball gets fired then that’s 3 OCs in 4 years. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Last week some were worried that Daboll was going to get a HC job elsewhere next year.. A week is a long time here at TBD. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've seen all over the league, if you've been within 50 feet of Belichek's dirty jock strap, you are the next big thing in coaching. Feel bad for whoever jumps on the Daboll grenade.

Mango Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 8 hours ago, LSHMEAB said: But what has Singletary really done to demonstrate that he's a "playmaker?" He's been productive with his touches, but I just don't see any explosion or burst. The vast majority of his yards have come via wide open space. I understand that he wasn't drafted to be a workhorse, but I also don't know that he's really got enough going on to even be considered a valuable change of pace back. Didn't like the pick at the time. Don't like it now. Maybe Daboll is just an idiot(quite possible) or maybe he doesn't believe Devin is going to do much when he has to make a play in traffic. Worst thing is that we desperately need a playmaker in the backfield. I agree that they made a mistake going into the season with this stable of running backs. At any rate, they do need to get DS the ball more often because he's at least theoretically capable of popping off 20 plus yard gains. There just aren't any dynamic offensive "weapons" and I think he was/is supposed to be that guy. But yeah, this is a silly question. The Bills will almost certainly finish the season above 500 and that's not going to precipitate a change at the HC position nor should it. Gotta stick with him at least one more year for better or worse. I think we are on the same page here. I don't get the hype on a guy with 20 total NFL carries. I think at best he projects to a change of pace back. With an offense that struggles with consistency (That is putting it nicely), I think the safe bet is Gore where he gets you a couple yards every time he touches the ball. You are probably right that DS struggles in traffic or between the tackles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 My initial reaction was yes but after seeing some of McD W/L stats, blowouts, opponents avg offenses that kill his teams, etc etc. After starting 5-1 and should there be a collapse to, say 9-7 and not get in or get in and lose 1st round, IDK, I wouldn't say it's a slam dunk he stays. Maybe put some pressure on him to make DC/OC changes because they both stink and go from there, he would still be on the hot seat in 2020. After 3 years McD seems to be an adequate coach against bad teams and a bad coach against good teams who is frequently out coached way too many times.

After 3 years McD seems to be an adequate coach against bad teams and a bad coach against good teams who is frequently out coached way too many times. I have are opposing concerns. 1) Consistency and continuity are both needed for success. Changing coaches means changing schemes, and that always sets a team back. Even if the new hire swears he'll leave the good parts alone history shows us it's overwhelmingly likely, he won't. A 3-year coaching carousel is the path to perpetual mediocrity. 2) As the DeMotivator says, "Consistency: it's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up" I am concerned that McDermott and Daboll are checkers players in a league where the ultimate winners play chess. He's not alone in that - I would say the same about a number of other contending coaches. But I think it's a legit concern. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
