Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I’m not sure what McDermott sees in Dodson? He’s one of the worst LBs the Bills have had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Really awful decision by McDermott. You've got to let him take his lumps. Especially when the guy behind him is so limited. And what did the Pats do when Dodson came in?... immediately attacked his limitations. While we're at it. Jackson is showing me nothing as to why we couldn't have seen what we have in Elam before the trade deadline. I know Elam was awful against the Jags, but he was serviceable against the Giants. On a defense increasingly devoid of talent, the "safe" options are much tougher to hide. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I figured they brought Dodson in since he is supposed to be a bit more stout against the run. But Dodson was no better. Probably worse. More great coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yes he was benched. PFF (if you're into that sort of thing) for Williams yesterday was a 30. So, justified. However, Dodson was picked on in the pass game and isn't a good player in general, so of the two I would have rather seen Williams make mistakes and learn than a vet and just take snaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Williams is overrunning/not fitting up well enough in the run game yet...still learning.

John from Riverside Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Just bring up AJ Klein. If you want to go to a veteran Dotson is not it.

Brand J Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I said yesterday the last thing a young player needs is to be looking over his shoulder in fear of getting benched. You don’t want to mess with his confidence. Leave him in and let him take his lumps, it’s not like the player you’re benching him for is superior - that’s why he was on the bench in the first place. Let him make his mistakes, we’ll need that growth later in the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) He was unfortunately terrible. Out of position all day. Here's one example: https://streamable.com/hwq41k He needs to pass off the TE to Bernard and take the crossing route to Bourne. His mistake creates a wide open WR with room to run.
