Complimenting player physical skill sets is one thing, when you start saying they understand the game extremely well, that puts all the accountability on scheme. Honestly, one of the best things about Beane and McDermott and "the process" in general is process over outcome. I imagine dude fully believes that if he schemes something that should work say 75% of the time, and is the most likely play to succeed in that situation, and that play is called and fails, the coach will receive praise from the head coach and the gm...very different from when Rex was here for sure. Makes me curious how the throwback play against the Texans went over during film study...my understanding is that Allen should have audibled out of it given the defensive look.

First Round Bust Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I see ST progress as a decrease in penalties we take (example LorAx had 2 on back-to-back plays last season) as well making a big play and preventing ...good ole Pats blocked 4 punts out of 9 total in the NFL last season and one of course was against us, which was a difference maker in a close home game loss. Investment in Tyler M (MLB) 3.4 M and Taiwan J (RB) 1.6M as well as Andre R (WR) 2M is over 7M which is shows they value ST skills....any position play from them is a bonus, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I was interested in Roberts comments. What he said about Roberts is what I saw last season, and it's what makes think they won't cut him because McKenzie is more versatile. Roberts has excellent hands, but what makes him special is how he sees the field and sets up his returns. He really does look like he can can go all the way on every return. You can see that he feels it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Wasn't enamored with the ST units last season, but I'll cut him some slack. And how can you bash a guy with a cool name like "Heath Farwell"? I think I might begin using it as a pseudonym. I can only use Dixon Cider or Philip Oliver Holz so often.

billspro Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I have high expectations for this unit this year. We better get in the top 10 with all the money invested there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Roberts might be the literal best return man in the league. It stinks there are barely any KR now, otherwise he would be a great weapon. If we can ever cut down on the flags on ST, this guy could really change a game.

This guy has no clue how to write for a WNY audience. Farwell is so saccharine sweet I had read 23 Jerry Sullivan columns and punch myself repeatedly in the testicles to get all the positivity out. 10 hours ago, CSBill said: I think and hope so .... he also brings more football running ability to the backfield ...
