How is that even close to a missed assignment by McCoy?
It looks he was designed to go over and block 51 on the Cardinals who also had no blocker.
If anything it's the fault of Vick for either not getting rid of the ball sooner or failing to notice Rhodes was gonna come free.

I suspect that given their OL and QB situation, they will continue use the crutch of calling pass plays featuring the minimum time from snap to launch, implemented from the Fitz days. Halfback blocking doesn't matter much, with that mindset.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Re: Should The Buffalo Bills Be Concerned About LeSean McCoy's Blocking?
I live in Eagles land and follow the Eagles pretty closely (my #2 team behind the Bills). Although I don't know how McCoy's skill set will transfer to our Offense, I've always viewed him as a prototypical "complete" RB (who was a capable blocker in both Andy Reid and Chip Kelly's offenses).
Naturally, most RBs don't like to block, but I don't think McCoy has ever been a bad blocker. Fred Jackson is a better blocker, IMO, and we have been spoiled by that. I think we will see a drop off with McCoy as far as pass protection compared to Freddy, but hopefully a stronger O-Line can mitigate that downgrade. It won't be an issue.
Others can feel free to give their opinion as well.

He's also not a quality receiver. According to PFF only three other running backs ran more pass routes than Lesean McCoy, yet 64 RBs had more receiving yards in 2014. Two down RB, making good money, why again did we make this move?
Guys like Fred Jackson, who can do it all, are rare, but Jackson is pretty much done.

The Cards sent seven against six blockers...get used to it, with Bowles in NY the Bills are going to see that. Was it a mis-read by McCoy? Probably, he had to choose between two guys and picked the wrong one...but, I would think under those circumstances the RB is taught to take the blind side rusher and the free man is on the QB. Regardless, yes, he needs to throw the occasional block and better be able to execute.YardRat Wall of Fame

How often do you target receivers that aren't open? Bottom line, they sent him on routes, and he was relatively ineffective from a yardage standpoint. So either he's a decoy or ineffective in the pass game. We'll soon find out.Last edited by kingJofNYC; 03-08-2015, 03:57 PM.
