But can Dorsey call a running game? That is the elephant in the room that no one speaks of...

Can he call any offensive game?  I agree 💯.  Big question.  We don’t know.  I feel that Kromer will help in some respects.  There’s really not much to speak of except “we don’t know **** about Dorsey as an OC.  No one does except the guys in the building.

It’s called context.  I was replying to someone who quoted me. 
 

Not much anyone can say about a first time OC / Play caller.  We can all pretend to have real knowledge.  I’d rather stick to what I know regarding Dorsey as an OC / Play caller rather than inventing some nonsense.   Not much.  Can you elaborate and add something substantial to the conversation? Maybe you should give that a try instead of just chiming in with the usual snarky and equally useless remark. golf clap GIF

You know the weather man always gets it wrong.

The bills obviously think that he can call a game because you know that there were top offensive coordinators that were available from other teams this year and they stuck with the in-house choice that’s called confidence in your man

They also did a good job of supporting him with some former OC. 
 

Mike Shula, Aaron Kromer and Joe Brady… he’ll have people to help him out.

I was watching film of him over again last night he runs just like his brother he’s just lighter


Dalvin entered the league 10 pounds heavier than James did. James is an inch taller and his combine time was faster. He can easily add weight next offseason  if it’s determined that would make him more effective.

 

James averaged the same 6.5 ypc as Dalvin did in college. However he had 1/3 as many carries so he is entering the league with much more tread on his tires. Both were 2nd round picks.
 

I actually think he has a legit shot to be BETTER than Dalvin!

Rich Eisen interview (always a great show) made me think of a game promotion.  Have the two Buffalo cook fans and the two of them maybe with them cooking dishes for two of them.  Lets the two brothers play off each other.

Out of sheer curiosity, what are your Top 10 things? 

I mean it’s all positional

 

With the running backs You’re looking at a myriad of things to translate to the NFL

 

- NFL Build

- Vision 

- burst through hole 

- can they “get skinny”

- ability to break arm tackles 

- contact balance 

- breakaway speed

- pass protection ability 

- toughness 

- ability to fight for extra yards 

- Catching ability out of the backfield

 

There’s even more but I’d say that’s the main things I’m looking for when I’m scouting a running back

 

Then you get into scheme specific things

Thanks for sharing your list. If I had to argue, I'd say those things are what makes a good running back, a good running back. I don't think the other poster was implying that you'd take a player's fat brother because he's related. I think the pedigree attribute speaks to the 'off the field' understanding of work ethic, professionalism, expectations, etc.....which are all harder to measure, but still count for something as they young men transition from college into the pros.
