The Ringer’s Ben Solak takes a look at one of the NFL's most confounding teams: the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have a winning record in the brutal AFC and an o...
I respect Ben Solak but some of the problems of this video is that Solak ignores that the advanced metrics are not an accurate representation of the offense struggles because they are inflated from a 3 game stretch at the beginning of the season where Buffalo scored 38, 37 and 48 points and the lack of explosive plays and consistent scoring. Stats with out context are useless.
Another problem with the video is Solak hand picked video clips to show Allen not playing above the scheme to make plays but didn’t show video clips of where Dorsey refused to scheme WR’s open, Dorsey refused to make counters to adjustments the defenses are doing, Dorsey refusing to make unique scheme adjustments for each game to take advantage of each defenses deficiencies, his lack of in game adjustments, etc.
I would highly recommend you watch the Cover 1 film breakdown of the Cincinnati game:
Yes Allen can improve in his progressions and reading defenses but what Dorsey is doing by refusing to evolve and improve as an OC is forcing both Allen and the WR’e to be perfect on every play and make the correct pre and post snap reads on option routes. If either the WR or QB makes an incorrect read, ie read a Cover 2 as Cover 4 or Cover 6 than it can lead to a WR running a wrong route and the QB making the wrong throw. There is very little margain of error the way Dorsey is coaching.
