Yeah even though they’re comparable in size and both run between the tackles… Allen runs with more physicality and looks to end runs on his terms, Newton defiantly tries to avoid confrontation. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets hit harder when he is in the pocket, he rarely gets his on his runs and more often than not jump overs them.

Malazan Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Evolve or die. Too much of the time the offense struggled and it seemed like Daboll would just go to "Give it to Allen on a run". It felt like last season he really depended on that a bit too much. I mean, I get it, you have an Allen, you use him, but maybe help him out.. the schemes just didn't seem to be there this year that were there last season that let them ignore even pretending to have something besides Allen in the running game. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never played soft. The narrative after his MVP season is he's just built differently and can take all that punishment. He should definitely be a cautionary tale for the Bills.

Funny, this past week, I heard a draft "expert" on GR55 saying that Hall was elite, and what set him apart from other RB's in the draft was his "vision". Said that Iowa State ran an offense that emphasized running backs who are patient, and can make defensive reads on the fly. The day before that, they had the guy who does the "Locked On Bills" who is also a "draft expert" (Joe Marino) say that he was not high on Breece Hall, at all, because he "lacked vision" required to succeed at the NFL level. I can't remember ever hearing such polar opposite assessments of the same player. Marino thinks Hall would be a terrible pick for the Bills... though I think he is one of those who is not generally inclined toward taking RB's in the first round. Personally, I have no opinion on Hall, just thought it was interesting, as I have seen a number of people mention him as their preferred pick for the Bills. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 RB’s tend to have short NFL careers. There is not likely to be a positive end to using your once in a generation arm talent QB as though he is an RB. Josh can scramble and at at very select times play the run. To me it looked like opposing teams did a halfway decent job stopping the Bills RPO. Develop a “real” run game and see how good Josh will be as a QB. 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind that McDermott wants to see Josh run less (though I think his running, late in the season was a big part of what took his passing game to the next level) not sure why he needs to say stuff like that out-loud. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career was shortened imo as much by the amount of damage he took in the pocket as he did running. I’ve never seen an NFL quarterback get fewer calls than Newton ever. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that Allen is 10 times the passer that Cam ever was. Can you believe that in his MVP season he was a sub 60 percent thrower? And 2015 was by far his best. Newton reminds of Ryan Miller when he played for the Sabres - 1 standout year (in Miller's case 2009-2010) and then decidedly average otherwise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the younger analytics crowd hated him. The more recognizable/seasoned "experts" (McShay, Kiper, Mayock) had him ranked as their second best QB prospect after Darnold. Allen was definitely one of the most polarizing prospects ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the Bills draft a speed RB with 2nd or 3rd round picks, I am not sold on Singletary as a starting RB on a title contending team.

Steptide Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Designed runs never really worked well for us anyway. What makes Allen such a good runner, is when he drops back, scans the field and THEN runs. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
