ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I still don't understand why they left Moss, our best pass protection RB, inactive against one of the top 5 DLs. Idiotic decision. It is clear to me the idea was to go 4 or 5 wide all game, pressure be d@mned. Having a chess piece like Moss who can help change up blocking assignments if the front 5 is struggling allows flexibility. Buffalo has 0 blocking TE to speak of. Breida has never been a (+) blocker. You give up blocking and catching with him in. This is why he has been cut so many times. He is fast, and will break one occasionally, but signals a rush. Singletary is replacement level at blocking, and does not have natural hands. We all saw it. Moss may not be the runner Singletary is, but he adds a pass protection level the other backs don't, and he can chug out 4 YPC. His hands have been equal to Singletary given the targets they have had. Poor game plan and scheme. Total failure to understand the opponent and what they will do. Buffalo was going to go 4-5 wide all game and announced it by sitting Moss. This decision and the empty sets allowed Pitt to drop 6 and 7 into zone coverage with no fear. If the front 4 can get pressure, and drop the rest, you beat Buffalo. Unfortunately (PIT/KC/TB/WAS etc) can all do it. It is the recipe to beat the Bills. Have a (+) 4 man pass rush and drop 6-7 in coverage. They have to figure out how to beat a (+) 4 man rush. Sitting Moss is idiotic. He can pick up the loose defender and can still get 4 ypc should Buffalo actually run the ball. Buffalo needs to become more proficient in a 3WR/1TE/1RB set or 4WR/ RB set. Moss is the best fit for both because of his blocking and running ability. This game came down to arrogance and an inability to change up blocking schemes because Buffalo's best non OL blocker was inactive. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm puzzled by this move as well but I would disagree about Moss in pass protection, Singletary is much better in that area and probably why he's still the primary back for now. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 This team puts so much emphasis on STs for the active roster on game day…then the STs always sucks anyway and lost us the game yesterday. We have to stop giving these valuable spots to guys that can ONLY play STs. It’s too much.

Mango Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 If I recall I used to ride Singletary hard about his pass pro. His rookie year he was a liability out there on passing downs. BUT!!! I have to admit he has gotten MUCH better. I still think Moss needs to dress. But somebody needs to take the TJ Yeldon role on the depth chart.

Scott7975 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The difference between Moss and Singletary in pass blocking probably isn't much. They also had Gilliam if they wanted. You answered your own question. They expected and pretty much did go 4-5 wide all game. Moss being active was unnecessary in their game plan. He would have changed nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Stephenson was out. McKenzie was coming back from a bum shoulder. He actually tweaked his other shoulder early in.

One good gunner for punts. Imma have to pin @gunnerbill's excellent post on the different ST roles. Here it is: Bottom line at minimum, in addition to the kicker, punter and LS you need: a KR/PR; 2 Gunners, a Personal protector (we saw what happens when that doesn't work) and a couple of some inside wing protectors/wedge players No offense to Epenesa (who surely tried his best) but having him fill in as long snapper was an undesireable adventure and made it clear that the LS has value. 21 minutes ago, No Place To Hyde said: Sorry, Breida was working with the ST coaches. That is the "he". My bad. Ah. Then I agree with you. I think Breida was active because of ST. McDermott even said that in his post-game presser, that "he is a very important player to us on ST". I'm not sure what other roles he has on ST - he could be a gunner I guess, though that's usually Taiwan Jones and Siran Neal - but I'm pretty confident he was active because the Bills wanted a "backup plan" to McKenzie at KR/PR On the other hand there's this on how having a backup plan can sometimes backfire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 For what it is worth, multiple statistical sites had Moss as a top 5 pass blocking RB in 2020. Not bad for a rookie in pass protect. Singletary did not make the list anywhere. When the OL fails in blocking 4-5 in pass rush, wouldn't a back with a 90+ pass block ability be handy? Maybe. The fact he also gets 4+ YPC regardless of formation may be a strong sign you should play him. Draw play, trap, screen, what is that? We don't do that in Buffalo. Run the draw play with Moss FFS. Moss should be RB1 in a pass first offense because he can block and run. Singletary is a nasty RB2 if used properly. Breida is a luxury RB. Not the other way around. I protect my $250 million dollar QB with my best pass blocking RB, who is a grinder, but maybe I am dumb. That is Moss. Why is Buffalo calling QB runs without their best non OL blocker??? I don't design multiple runs for my $250 Million dollar man without a blocking TE or RB active on my active roster. No good blocking TE, no good blocking RB, run Josh Allen multiple times. Genius. Maybe I am wrong? I see too much 1990's Houston Run and Shoot here to make real noise. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Clearly because they don’t give a crap about keeping anyone additional in to pass block. Maybe the coaches read TBD and believed that Daryl Williams could block Watt 1 on 1 again……and that Feliciano is a good OL…..and that this particular OL was only on the field for 2 snaps together last year and will be improved this year. I almost believed it after reading it 3759392 times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOTAL FAIL What part of "I think they may need to revisit who they activate at other positions to make room for Moss on the gameday roster. Sweeney doesn't play ST either, and he played what, 3 snaps or something?" did you disagree with exactly? The thing is @ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin, I didn't see us in a lot of (1,1) sets even in the 3rd and 4th Q, did you? I need to watch again but I'm gonna guess "no". And Knox isn't a pass blocking specialist, but both he and Sweeney can block. Bates has also blocked as an extra OLman. So with respect, while I agree Moss should have been a gameday active, there are several issues being conflated here. The Bills could have provided extra protection WITH the players they had active, and in fact one could have argued that if they scratched Sweeney in favor of Moss they were taking out a good blocker (but I would argue that Moss has shown more. That block on Bosa! *swoon*) I think they needed to have Breida active as a KR/PR, but I also think they could have made other choices and found room for Moss.

Moss is substantially better if you have a DE break free on the edge or a blitzing secondary player. Where Singletary shines is being able to jump between gaps to assist with interior pressure. Singletary is going to be devalued on analytic sites compared to Moss as his strengths aren’t really noticed by the mathheads. He’s too small to stonewall a DT, but he can jump across the formation, get a hat on a DT and buy Allen a second to throw or scramble. Most RBs don’t possess that skill set.

MPT Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 When I saw that Moss was a scratch I thought we'd be seeing a lot of 11 or 12 sets to chip block their DL with some bigger bodies and set up some short routes as relief valves for any pressure. Turns out, nope. Just didn't even take into account one of the best DLs in the league and decided to go 00 even when it was painfully obvious it wasn't working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
