Ok the bills are sub par in run blocking (though again, if a RB makes a poor read, and a wrong cut, that reflects on the Oline as well), but how does that negate my point that the Bills have the worst RB room in the NFL? A good RB can make a bad oline look average to good. 
 

 

 

If you are dodging players in the backfield 50% of the time I am not sure what you expect the RBs to do.

 

A lot of it starts with missed details by the OLine on a play, especially when they run inside zone blocks...they are missing details that cause the play to get blown up.

 

Case in point, Saffold is supposed to flow to his right and Dawkins has a reach block to make on his guy. However, based on where the DT lines up on Morse, Saffold needed to chip him for a split second to give Dawkins time to get there and make the block. Dawkins is expecting help on the play, Saffold doesn't give it to him and the DT goes upfield before Dawkins can get there and tackles Singletary for a 2 yard loss. The play was blocked very well by Davis and Dawkins and Singletary had a big crease to run through for at least 8 yards.

 

But one missed detail and understanding how your assignment changes based on defensive alignment by Saffold turned it into a 2 yard loss. 

 

That's where they are failing up front with a lot of these blocking assignments...they aren't executing details right.

 

I suggest you go watch John Fina's Off Tackle podcast the last two weeks...it was eye opening in terms of what he talked about and how the Bills are not doing little things right.

If Poyer picks a Pick6 off Pickett, will Pickett pick it up and pick Poyer with the 6th pick?

 

Yes, then we all will sing Hickety Pickett Mother Hen...

Any Poyer pilfered pick off Pickett potentially portends pick6 points.

 

Playing Poyer, Pickett perhaps pees his pants.

he did not cut on the ankles. he rounded the cut. that seperates some of the elite to the JAG's for the pro's.

 

Davis is not 100%. By this I'd bet 70%-80%

 

 

So did Hodgins (12?) 

 

Davis actually looks much better this week

Shame on you, e. You know better than to poke a noob. 😄

 

 

 

OMG...that might be the worst looking crowd I have ever seen...what in the world is going on with them?? And what is that weirdo dude doing some weird half jump and what looks like a very uncomfortable arm movement and his face...

 

Thank God we have upgraded our crowd since then...would be really hard to hear the narrative from other fanbases if this is what they showed on TV...

Agreed. This is not exactly Tua situation but I don't like how they are treating Davis. This will be third week in a row when he is clearly not healthy yet he is still practicing and playing. Doesn't make sense to me and they are hurting both Davis and team.

 

Because Davis is our best blocking WR by a country mile and with Kumerow down there isn't anyone on the roster with anything close to his skillset. If rest isn't going to heal the ankle any more than it already is and if he can operate at 50-70% and execute the blocks he needs as part of the gameplan he's gonna be out there.
