As far as deleting Allen's strengths, for every carry you give to the running back you have to take away a passing play. Well taking away the passing plays, from this past game would been a good adjustment from the oc when it was obvious Josh was not having a good day. Perhaps if they got chunk plays from running backs or even develop a reliable screen game then Josh would have more choices when things aren't clicking with the passing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is that guy who opposing teams have to account for as the "running back" who will spoil your day when a play breaks down (I just wish they'd cut down on the designed QB runs with the exception of an occasional QB sneak when appropriate). I saw a meme somewhere, and I'm just too lazy to look it up to see if it's true, that the Bills are the only team in the NFL that has gained 100+ yards on the ground in every game this season. If that is in fact true, our running game is just fine. This is my greatest fear. Dorsey follows the Daboll trend of over using Josh. Right up to the point where he gets hurt and we lose him for several games. Is he capable of being 95% of the offense....yes. Should he be doing it...no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dorsey needs to balance the offense for many reasons. Especially thinking long term. And i do loathe to go there again but... they need a long term holistic investment in the O line besides Dawkins to run a more balanced offense. Focus on that McBeanes ! Not some bellcow and not an OBJ get the Line sorted for long term along with Josh's next ten + seasons here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
