Hackett wants to simplify running game

The running game has been a particular focus this week after two straight rough performances.

"We want to try to simplify it down some and get back to some of the stuff that we did little bit more last year and try to take advantage of some things that our guys do well and keep on attacking those specific things, not getting bored with success, call the same thing a couple times in a row, stuff like that to get those guys a feel," Hackett said. "That's a little bit of what we did last year, so the guys got to get a feel for it. So I just have to do a better job of sticking with that kind of stuff."


Part of the problem is schematic. Hackett and coach Doug Marrone have both admitted that. But some of it falls on the players, too.

Apparently the offense is too complicated for EJ...errr...CJ.

Running up the middle is overly difficult?

As far as Watkins goes, Hackett believes fans are close to seeing the full complement of what he can do on offense. The Bills have been letting him get completely comfortable after his early season injury and a few touch matchups in recent weeks, but Hackett thinks the breakout is coming.

"He's starting to look like that guy we had from the very beginning, and I think he's starting to feel better and better and he's rolling," Hackett said.

Hackett has no clue what he is doing.

Once the season is over. Whaley needs to put a gun to Marrone's head to fire Hackett. If Marrone chooses to continue to be loyal, Marrone will be fired as well.

simplify the run game? so just run straight up the middle into the a gap.. because we already don't do much else

Re: Hackett wants to simplify running game

Their gameplan is already on par with most high schools and he wants to simplify? What go from two running plays ran over and over again down to one?

Re: Hackett wants to simplify running game

Let's not give up on the run in the middle of the third quarter. That should be a good start.

The running game is more than just the direction the play goes.

Re: Hackett wants to simplify running game

Since Marrone has been on board, I have found myself longing for Dick Jauron (had better records) and Gailey (ran better offense). Puke. Puke. Puke.

Re: Hackett wants to simplify running game

FJ and CJ are both more than capable of running the ball with success. How about the OL step up its game and open some holes. That would probably help the most.

When do the cross hairs get leveled on Pat Morris?

Well, you can long for Jauron or Gailey.

I long for Wade Phillips myself...................the last GOOD HC the Bills have had.

Re: Hackett wants to simplify running game

if this running game gets any simpler than it already is, I'll be expecting Kyle Orton to run more than any RB.
