The Bills passing game took a back seat to Buffalo's top 3 rushing attack in 2013, but Doug Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett are already formulating plans for that to change in 2014.
As Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett saw it the run game was something they had to depend on as their young quarterback made progress through the season. Unfortunately Manuel’s injuries curtailed his progress and the plan to expand the variety of the offense as the season wore on, particularly on first down, never materialized.
That expansion will now begin to take shape in the offseason.
“As we move forward our passing game was not where we wanted it to be, but as we get going and we continue with the running game, and build our passing game with the play action we would like to be able to take more shots, throw it more on first down and become more productive from the standpoint of scoring,” said Marrone. “Make no mistake you have to have a better ratio than what we had.”
