Lack of RB Production is limiting this Team

[Utah John]

The Jets have a great run defense and a great D line, which our O line couldn't get holes in.  The problem starts with the line.  The RBs never had a chance to get going.  Our O line is average or a little better, but needs to get significantly better to let the rest of the O reach its potential.

[QLBillsFan]

It will be interesting to see what the plan is vs Fins. Pats ran Cam and RB’s effectively. Fins not stoping it makes us think Bills will do the same. So more RPO likely. While I agree with those who are concerned about 17’s exposure. However as Diggs shared Josh feeds off the excitement and adrenaline rush.  Or do we keep letting Josh throw to set up the run? Good problem to have for Bills. Fins gave Pats a better until late in game so I expect a tough one. Flores is simply better than Gase.

I don't disagree there at all.  Everyone is making rationale points.  I just look at the Ravens for example with a QB, who like Allen, gets his share of rushing TDs.  But the the RBs contribute more, 28 TDs in 2-years to our 8 TDs in years outside of the QBs.  I think it's a fair question regardless of how many spears are thrown.

 

Yes, but right now on a parallel message board, there is a Ravens fan making a thread about the lack of production from their WRs. Only 15 TDs for their WRs last year total.

 

Sure, we could always use more TDs, and definitely need to increase our total scoring from the last couple of years. But even with that, there arent a lot more TDs to go around.

I think Singletary is underrated on this board. He isn't a home run hitter but he's a lead back.

 

I have no idea with Moss. Looked sluggish in game 1, but it was literally game 1 of his pro career. 

 

Moss looked pretty good in pass protection and in the passing game.

 

I think the type of run plays they used with Moss don't suit his strengths. It was a bunch of counters, and semi-delayed handoffs where he was practically standing still when Josh handed him the ball.

 

He's a downhill runner and needs to hit the hole hard and fast. The two runs he had that looked dynamic were quick hitters. I think he'll do much better with more direct running plays.

In 2018, we had one of the worst offensive lines in league history.  
 

in 2019 our OL was better.  Better meaning average.  73 year old Frank Gore led our team

in carries.  Singletary averaged 5.1.  
 

Josh allen has more rushing TDs in his first 2 years than any QB history.  Handing the ball off on the goal line gives us one option.  Putting the ball in Josh’s hands, gives us two. 

 

i agree, I’d like to see our RBs get in the end zone more often, but that just means they’re going to have to score from further out.  When we’re down close, I think Josh should have the ball.  He’s done a helluva job down close so far.  

That’s just it.  If our RBs are going to score more, they’re gonna have to be better at scoring from outside the 10.  
 

Do you think it’s dabolls fault that we don’t break longer RB runs?

 

And whenever they got inside the 10 yard line last year they'd give it to Frank Gore, and a cloud of dust later, we'd be one yard closer! on a good day! 

 

Would be interesting to see overall how the team did in general inside he 10 to 15 yard line as seemed like even when passing, we struggled with scoring from in close.  Granted, that's probably the toughest for all teams.  But last year, the defense would know as soon as Gore walked onto the field, the handoff was going to him.  Since the field is now shortened, a little easier to blitz too which  Allen tended to struggle with.

 

Having said all that, don't think the problem is the running backs,  more maybe the O line and last season Frank Gore.

Welcome QLBF and it will be interesting.  The one selfish reason I have in wanting a decent running attack against Miami is that it will show that

Beane, McDermott, Daboll and Josh are getting this offense to game plan AND execute.

 

In the end though, I just want the win.

Lamar Jackson has a hard time throwing toward the sidelines. I’d say 80% of his passes are completed between the numbers. I’d lazy rush Lamar and keep hands up and spy the middle of the field. 
 

you’re not gonna see Jackson throwing to many 15 yard outs or comebacks on the sidelines. He’s all about Andrews, slants and crossing routes.

I think that number is low because of Allen. 18 rushing touchdowns to this point of his career. If you add those into the totals, it looks stronger. 

 

This post is ridiculous because Allen has become the number 1 weapon in the run game inside the 10 yard line.

Regardless of rushing or passing/rush TB by RB or QB, it more touchdowns that is the goal.  A better, more efficient offense is the end game - not by a set land/air ratio.

No I'm saying it because they don't have the speed to break big runs.

 

Agree with those who say speed at the position is a luxury not a necessity, but it sure would be nice to have more speed out of the back field. Yes it's only one game, but both Motor and Moss looked very slow hitting the hole and attempting to get to the 2nd level on Sunday.

 

And there is no way McCoy wasn't fast. His acceleration was among the best in the league. 

 

WRT Singletary hitting the hole... Agree, he did look slow getting to the line, but it seemed part of that was because Josh was taking his time deciding what to do on the RPOs. Holding onto it too long, and the couple of times he did decide to give it to Motor, it was too late and the Defense already ate him up.

There are plenty of RB's with Singletary and Moss's speed that have broken big runs.  

Jeremy Hill was a slower RB and had an 85 yard TD run.  He was a 4.63 forty.

Leveon Bell is a slower RB and had an 81 yard TD run.  He was a 4.6 forty.

 

Yes it's only one game and last year Motor averaged 5.1 ypc and you've forgotten that because we didn't draft Dobbins.

This obsession for the one or two times an entire season a RB scores a 60+ yard TD is silly.

 

Last year, Devin tied Henry for the league lead for yards per carry.  Who cares about 1 to 3 plays a year that are long TD runs.  Those don’t win you games...first downs where you keep the ball and keep moving towards the end zone win games.  And once you there scoring TDs medium and short distances win games.  
 

And the reason the TD total looks low for the RBs is because we have a tank of a QB who vultured 18 rushing TDs the last two years.  
 

Our RBs are going to be just fine.

Wrong.  We didn’t have 4 rushing TDs.  We had 22 rushing TDs, you just chose to remove Allen’s 18 rushing TDs because it doesn’t fit your narrative.  It was already pointed out to you that Devin in limited snaps last year was among the league leaders in runs over 20 yards.  You also see the league leader only had 5 more runs than Devin over 20 yards and that it’s NOT a very common play and doesn’t even happen on average of even once a game by the league leader.  
 

You keep ignoring Allen’s rushing TDs to say the RBs dont score enough...how are they supposed to score the TD if Allen already ran it in?  
 

All that matters is that the 6 points get on the board, doesn’t matter if the jersey number is from a RB, QB, TE, or WR.  The fact is the issue is not our RBs, it’s been Allen vulturing the TDs from the RBs because teams have had no answer to stop Allen when he’s running for the score.

The Ravens had 531 points with 21 rushing TDs (16 from running backs) 18.08%

The Bills had 314 points with 16 rushing TDs (7 from running backs) 13.38%

 

So ignoring your attempt at a loaded question, I would like the Bills to have about 200 more points and 5 more rushing TDs...I don't care if the rushing TDs come from Allen or from the backs. 

 

More so, the Ravens had 37 passing TDs to the Bills 21 TDs. I'm much more concerned about the Bills increasing that number. If only, the Bills had done something to address that actual problem.

Your stat is not correct; the Bills only had 4 rushing TDs out of 13 last year from RBs (2 from Gore and 2 from Singletary); Allen had the other 9.    In 2018 they had the same (3 from McCoy and 1 from Ivory) out of 15; Allen had 8, Mckenizie 2, and Peterman 1.  I agree with about increasing the passing TD #s, but ignoring the lack of ability for the RBs to get into the endzone and just relying all on the QB doesn't help.  Many of those failures to get turned into FGs instead of TDs.

I agree. As Belichick would do attack your opponents weakness. We weren't running wild on the stout run D of the Jets. We attacked exactly where we had to. We should've scored anywhere from 33-40 points. Devin & Zack will get things going against the Dorados. The OL also has to step it up.

Nope not at all.  The question is, are you satisfied with TD production by the RBs over the past few years heading into this year (1 rushing TD per every 4 games by the RBs).  If not, okay then.  Point of my thread and my opinion is, as much as we should feel good about Allen and his rushing TDs, the majority of them are from broken plays and not by design.  I believe this to be an area where we need to improve, as simple as that.  If you disagree and are content with the current production, that's cool and your opinion.  Just trying to have a conversation here.

[DuckyBoys]

Agree with original poster  .  OL is not good at moving teams off the ball.  Be nice if we can count on rbs to get those 3rd and short downs and to run somewhat effectively in the red zone.  At some point in time were going to need some production from somewhere other than QB.  Or we can continue to depend on Allen to be the entire offense and risk hs long term health everytime we need 1 yard

[Straight Hucklebuck]

It’s 2020, the Bills are doing exactly what they need to. Investing in cheap, cost controlled mid-rounders and starting to utilize the screen pass more. 

 

The last thing we need to do is devote more time and energy to “establish the run”.

It has now been 37 games since the start of the 2018 season, and we have a grand total of 8 rushing TDs by our RBs (4 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and 0 so far in 2020).  That is slightly less than 1 for every 4 games (1:4) and to me that is unsatisfactory, even if the QB averages 1 every two games (1:2).   Hopefully Moss can help with that, but the lack of RB production is really holding this team back to a certain degree in my opinion.  Additionally, TDs withstanding, do opposing defenses really fear our running game?  This kind of goes back to some poster's thoughts on constantly running RPOs instead of some more designed leads, counters, etc.  I think Dabol really needs to figure this out.  Thoughts?

Rewatched the game. Other than the obvious (we have two of the slowest RB's in the league) it didn't look like the line gave them any place to go. Even in Allen's runs, he would have gone down a couple of times if he wasn't as strong as a horse. Give these two a little space and their above average elusiveness will be more than adequate, despite the lack of breakaway speed. Is it the play calling or bad line play ----. or did the Jets just do an exceptional job in the middle of the line  We're about to find out. Go Bills !!

[Big C]

I don't know about you guys but I'd rather have a pro bowl RB than make the playoffs. 

[JohnNord]

I wrote a post about this - I think a big problem is the OL.  They seem to be much better at pass protection than run blocking,  they just don’t seem to move the defensive front.  
 

As much as we loved to hate on Gore, who was obviously slow, he was getting pounded before he crossed the LOS.  
 

The majority of the big running plays for Buffalo came off tackle.  Players like Mitch Morse and Quinton Spain aren’t great run blockers.  Probably the same with Feliciano.  It will be interesting to see if Ford, who is a good run blocker, will make any difference.

 

I don’t think the problem is the RB’s maybe they don’t have the speed to break off long runs.  But the rushing numbers should be better with backs like Devin and Moss.

[C.Biscuit97]

I will say they definitely don’t have breakaway speed at RB.  Also, a mobile qb should be helping open things up for the run game.  
 

I think it is a solid, if unspectacular, duo.  But they badly need a homerun threat.
