Goes into a long discussion about how you can never predict when Josh will leave the pocket because Josh will leave the pocket for no particularly good reason and then make throws. Says it comes down to a balance between precision and instinct. Long discussion about Josh's interceptions and coaching him ensues. It was interesting but listen for yourself. Says the concern he sees for the Bills is if McDaniel manages to manufacture enough offense to get the Dolphins up by 10 points, the "feel" of the game changes and you start pressing (my word) instead of just "playing your game" (his words). Tasker agrees and says "yeah, you start trying feel like you need to do things you wouldn't ordinarily do, you start trying to hit a grand slam with no men on base". ---------------------- I thought the bit about the Bills run game was interesting, because my perception was that aside from Mostert's 67 yd run and 2-3 other 10-yd-ish runs, the Bills run D just wasn't that porous. I had to go to NexGen charts to check my memory: Obviously every play counts, but it's a bit of a different situation if a couple missed tackles allow a long run vs. if the team is really getting gashed over and over again for 8-10 yds a pop. And don't get me wrong, they were uncharacteristically porous, but I think most of the longer runs were outside the tackles.

BigAl2526 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 9 minutes ago, GolfandBills said: No they just need to win Technically, you're right, of course. I'm just saying there will be a lot of doubts expressed both by fans and media pundits about the Bills' ability to beat a really tough opponent, like Cincinnati for instance, if they don't beat Miami convincingly. Of course, they could use a little "rope-a-dope" in the Miami game. That is, they might play a bit more of a bland game plan in hopes of catching their next opponent off guard, but I'm not sure how much value there is in that at this point in the process. There is a whole season's worth of game tape for opposing defensive and offensive coordinators to analyze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 4 hours ago, eball said: McNerd has signature moves? Besides putting his QB at risk, I mean… So the Tua thing is a disaster. But I really think this is way more a league issue than a McDaniels issue. The entire concussion (and injury) protocol is basically “well a doctor said I could” then going going and doing stuff our doctor would never allow. The entire system is flawed. McDaniels is just the biggest and best example at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/transcript-mike-mcdaniel-s-media-availability-january-13 I think they intend to start Skyler Thompson, but reading this am I the only one that thinks maybe after the first series, Bridgewater is gonna play? Quote (Do we know with certainty barring a setback or something unlikely that QB Skylar Thompson will in fact start on Sunday?) – "Skylar (Thompson) is going to start. Teddy's done a great job really just being a part of the team, getting himself closer and closer to being able to play the way that he knows he needs to play. Really doing whatever it takes so that we can have him available on Sunday. But yeah, Skylar will get the start." Bridgewater is getting closer and closer to being able to play the way that he knows he needs to play...... Quote (What can QB Teddy Bridgewater do and how much have you seen QB Skylar Thompson grow within this week in practice, another week getting reps?) – "What can't he do? (laughter) It's a different conversation what he's able to do today with an injury like that on a metacarpal. That's something that really time, he's been doing extensive rehab. Just yesterday I thought he was casting himself for Zoolander movie because he had his hand in wax with like a bubble around it, so he looked like he was the hand model. Anybody know that one? (laughter) But he's been working relentlessly and what he'll be able to do with extra time, even more rehab and then game day adrenaline, we're hoping it's good enough for him to be able to fully execute everything in the offense. On game day, we're hoping it's good enough for him to be able to fully execute everything in the offense.... There seem to be conflicting reports as to whether Bridgewater's finger is broken or was dislocated? But if Aaron Rodgers can play with a broken thumb..... ......I'm sure it's a "checkers" play the Bills coaches have considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are their saviors! 😆🤣😂 Also, New England fans hate us a lot less than we hate them for the Brady era! We weren’t relevant to them back then, they were worrying about the Manning brothers… I get the feeling they see Buffalo as the little brother who is finally having their moment, and are kinda rooting for us.
