Speed isn’t that much of a factor when 90% of your pass plays involve routes that never make it more than 3 yds past line of scrimmage. 

Chicken and egg

Was mainly thinking chief and patriot but go with it

At this point, just run out Josh, Cook and nine offensive linemen. Maybe throw a TE out there when you really want to be explosive 🤪

I'd use Knox, Hawes and Coleman (or Davis) as the TEs.  I think defenses would have a hard time defending

Hum. Maybe Coleman could thrive in that. I just have been POed at his lack of effort. Twice last Sunday he could easily have got a PI going the Bills way had he come back to the ball and fought for it. He didn't. Good no calls even if the Fins never looked back and there was contact 

Anyway, I have been vocal about using Anderson AND Hawes. I also want the frequent deep routes by one of the RBs and TEs. Ty Johnson, Cook, Kincaid/Knox, even Gilliam. They are hard to cover by LBs and non DBs. Stretch the field however way you want! It doesn't only have to be a WR.

absolutely!! This is our identity. I am tired of trying to run from it. 

I'm confused. I thought that's what it was designed for...

Hell, let’s just go with Allen and Cook behind nine offensive linemen…it’ll work as well as Brady’s current scheme…

[transient]

I think they should go all tush push all the time. Call it the "TPx3->P" offense.

The attempt to run with heavy personnel is all good.  We have a great RB in Cook.  The issue is that style of play will keep most opponents right in the game in the 4th Qtr.  And then anything can happen.  Maybe once a year you can blow a game open by getting some timely takeaways and breakaway runs.  But that's not a script that works too often.

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Sick of this heavy personnel crap 24-7, it greatly reduces offensive possessions. This offense should only be used against elite offenses. We should be blowing mediocre teams out of the water every single week w/ a high powered aerial attack/efficiently used ground game.

It's what the team is built for. 

 

However, instead of Anderson, I would like to see Reggie Gilliam used more in that spot. He can take snaps as a TE3. He can also motion out and see snaps at FB. He could be a sneaky asset in short yardage situations. 

Where is Zach Davidson?  Did You know that Zach can punt as well?

It would take too long for the players to learn the terminology this year, but perhaps devote the off-season to it?

With Kincaid out, I would like to see more of Alec Anderson going forward like we did last year. And that includes with Jackson Hawes. I would embrace going heavy personnel and hope that Palmer and or Davis can be a factor on the outside. 

Nothing like going heavy when you have an awesome QB!

 

Not disagreeing with you, OP, but it’s a damned shame what they have turned this offense into when they have Josh Allen as their QB.

[fridge]

Have we tried running multiple FB sets while we're at it? Let's just use the full 1960 playbook and stop pretending. Commit to the joke that is this offense.

[GolfandBills]

Quarter of a billion dollar QB and we are stuck to relying on the running game to win games… sad

You and others in here are 100% correct. It's a crime that this is even a discussion. But based on how we are currently constructed, I'm convinced it may be the best (only?) option
