Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Jim Kubiak has now used the word "diabolical" to describe several of Brian Daboll's play designs. OK then. Brian "Dabollical", our OC. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/jim-kubiak-how-brian-dabolls-creativity-is-highlighting-the-best-of-bills-qb-josh-allen/article_47048b86-431d-11eb-a6a4-5bb82e2522bb.html In marked contrast to our color commentator, Mark Schlereth who described Allen as "scrambling and improvising", Kubiak breaks down what Daboll's play design was actually doing on various plays such as the fake Diggs screen/TD to Knox. It kind of makes me realize that, even as our offense struggles to master the playbook, at this point in the season Daboll must literally have opposing DC's heads primed to explode. "Wait, there's Diggs lining up in the backfield, OK, screen to Diggs, got it..no wait, flood concept to the right.....or is it actually a run by Allen?" 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been calling him Coach Diabolical all year. I am pretty sure a lot of this is him and Allen talking at 9 pm at night, Coach Daboll gets an idea in evening and calls Allen to discuss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think Josh's TD run was also a scripted play. Watch Gilliam and he starts blocking a step before Josh takes off running. The way they bumped heads in the end zone looked like a "Hey, it worked perfectly." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 There was one play that impressed the crap outta me. It was a double screen concept, Moss to the left, Motor to the right. Josh hit Motor on the right for a 9-yard gain. I can see that play going either way in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to bang the table for the double running back screen when Hackett was here with Fred and CJ. Don't know why more offenses don't run it. Seen the Browns do something similar this year where they ran a screen one way with Chubb and a wheel route the other way with Hunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Gilliam down there run blocking like a demon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it was a type of RPO where a pass is one option, and a run by Josh is another. The back stays in to block. But the DLman Jones loops around into a suspiciously open space, with Mongo following him and shoving him into the backfield while Allen neatly sidesteps into this huge 'ol hole created by Morse blocking his guy right, into the space formerly occupied by Mongo. It just looks too neat to have happened except by design. And then, as you say, as soon as he sees the key that Allen is running Gilliam just FLATTENS Holder, the safety, then takes on another guy. In fact, Gilliam almost acts too soon - if he weren't taken quite so much by surprise, Holder might have had time to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramza86 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Itll be a real shame to see Daboll go. I really worry about what the team will look like without him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuseBill Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Compare that to the stuff Freddie Kitchens was calling yesterday for the Giants. On 4th down and in field goal position with a close score and the field goal team out there, spread everyone out and have the holder/punter go back into shot gun and throw the ball incomplete in the end zone to a lineman! The Pegulas need to either (a) make Daboll a rich man; or (b) have photos of him in a "compromising position". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 You really have to wonder if Dabol might decline the chance to go elsewhere just stay in Buffalo to continue working with Josh. I may very well depend on whether anyone looks to give him a HC opportunity where there is a half decent QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 That's as good a nickname as any. The playcalling is fun and creative now. I think a lot of it has to do with Allen being comfortable enough to suggest/call his own plays. 42 minutes ago, BuffaloBill said: You really have to wonder if Dabol might decline the chance to go elsewhere just stay in Buffalo to continue working with Josh.

Win a SB with Josh and teams will be throwing all their money at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh needs some of the credit too. This gets to your point here. Not all NFL QBs will be able to work with Daboll like Josh can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
