tbonehawaii Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 The Bills front office can be fairly criticized for not bulking up and solidifying its offensive line (which lost left tackle Jonas Jennings in free agency) to protect a neophyte in the pocket. The offensive game plans, even adjusted for a work in progress like Losman, have been, well, interesting. The Falcons fielded a gimpy secondary, but the Bills chose to run more than pass. Against the Saints, Willis McGahee ran only 23 times, despite the fact that he was averaging better than 5 yards per carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I love reading this...once again, a sports reporter not doing his homework. Willis ran 16 times. The team ran 23 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonInBuffalo Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 On top of that, on the majority of his carries he gained 2 yards or less. He gained the bulk of his yardage on 3 long runs, which makes his average per carry a very misleading figure. Mularkey was asked on Monday why Willis didn't get the ball more. He pointed out the obvious, namely the lack of plays for the offense in general. Heck, they had more running plays than passing plays, even though their last 5 plays were all passing plays due to them being behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
