Peyton Manning was known for calling his own plays for a good part of his career. I wonder if this little experiment could lead the Bills to follow the precedent of Manning, who was essentially an assistant offensive coordinator for the Colts in addition to his role as a Hall of Fame caliber QB. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Can only be a good thing imo. Hope it continues, and that Josh isn't allergic to calling running plays. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I doubt it’s anything on that tier a little bit of fun for the guys, and a tiny bit of learning new perspective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling plays in a 2 min drill will be way different than in the 3rd quarter from the sideline. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling plays in a 2 min drill will be way different than in the 3rd quarter from the sideline. I'm sure it was so Allen had a part in the game. No doubt he would have preferred to be playing in the game even though he knows the injury risk is not worth it for a meaningless game. Yet the competitor and football player in him would rather play than sit out. Edited August 14, 2023 by AuntieEm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcash Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I've said in the past if we keep losing O coordinators (to Colin Cowherds theory) maybe Josh van call his own plays like Kelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein's Dog Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Great to hear. One step closer to having Josh go no-huddle when they get advantageous player situations. And that should happen quite a bit more this year with the problems Kincaid can present to D Coordinators. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somnus00 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Seems like a good way to test if Josh is understanding the offensive philosophy, playbook, and Dorsey's method to calling plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Good way to keep continuity in the O scheme. He’s going to keep getting coordinators promoted ( another reason the HC should be the offensive guru), this way at least Allen will have a sense of what the scheme is to keep it all rolling.
