very encouraged since AVP took over the job
It seems to me that Turk's attitude was not the kind of presence you want in the lockeroom. It also seems that his playcalling was rubbing the team's play makers the wrong way.
Turk claims that Dick wants a pop warner offense. Is it really a bad thing that we want to simplify things and focus on what we can execute well?
Someone posted in another thread that throwing deep wasnt simplifying and that we wouldnt throw deep.
Well, it appears we are practicing throwing deep which apparently the Bills stopped doing once preseason started.
Also, throwing down field isnt complicated. it is the fancy formations and motioning of wide receivers and where they lineup that can get too complicated.
we can stay simple and still pound the rock, run what we do well and take some risks.
It appears that is what AVP has been doing. The players seem to be responding to it in a positive way.
Alot of negative Nancys on here are saying that AVP can't do better than Turk with the same offense.
but first off,
we can't get much worse.
and second off, yes he can make it different.
An offense, no matter how basic or complicated can look completely different with another coach running the offense.
For example.
Turk was calling the plays.
1st down, he runs an inside run to the right with Marshawn Lynch for about 4 yards.
2nd down he runs a short underneath where Trent dunks it to Schouman for 8 yards. First down.
1st down, he runs. 3 yards.
2nd down, he runs 4 yards,
3rd down he runs. 1 yard.
punt.
Maybe AVP calls
1st down a slant route to Evans for 8 yards.
2nd down, an off tackle run for 1-2 yards to get the first down.
1st down. a deep wheel route to Owens on the outside.
2nd down a run.
3rd down playaction roll out.
yada yada yada. we are taking more chances and the offense looks really different.
really, there are many possible ways to call the same plays. Turk may have enjoyed run run short pass punt. but maybe AVP will rather go for the touchdown or at the very least the 35 yard pass rather than the 7.
at any rate it is all up to Trent Edwards.
I would put money on Owens and Evans over almost any DB corp in the league. AVP will call the plays, but Edwards will have to execute those plays.
Oh, and Bell will do just fine. :brilliant:
