Ken Dorsey's Offensive Strategy | FRF

[@sophiagodsfrend]

this is TOP SHELF ANALYSIS!!! NOBODY does this better than COVER1! we are so lucky!! God bless you all and keep up the terrific work!

[@Cover1]

🙏🙏🙏

[@TMCO]

I haven't seen these types of open holes since LeSean McCoy was the starting RB. Aaron Kromer good job.

[@Cover1]

When Kromer was here last time.

[@RageDaug]

Something that's cool to see is opposing defenses fearing the Bills' passing attack. In Allen's first few years he alerted many times to change called running plays into passing plays because opposing defenses were putting 8 men in the box. With the Bills passing/receiving weapons, opposing defenses actually have to focus against the pass now, which will open up that run game.

[@BossRoller]

RB Depth Chart through 2 preseason weeks: RB1 - Motor (decisive decision making, fantastic lateral agility and quickness, durability) RB2 - Moss (physical downfield runner opitimal for goalline work, best at picking up free rushers in pass protection) RB3 - Cook (Best dual-threat RB that can be flexed out wide for mismatches in coverage, elite speed and hands for a RB) RB4 - Blackshear (great combination of all of the above qualities -- ideal for someone inactive until injury to one of the above. Very decisive in zone-blocking schemes) All RBs above, with exception of Cook, seem to finish runs very well-- they use their physicality to milk the last few yards after contact. Need to cut: Duke Williams. Unfortunate because he performed well and I like his contribution in special teams but each of the guys listed fills a specific role and at a high level.

[@PopsMafia]

Nice breakdown. I love how the oline is looking.

[@Cover1]

Thanks!!

[@trevorwinstral2530]

Great analysis, wish we had a giants analyst like this. Will continue to watch these though!

[@Cover1]

I’ll do some Giants film from time to time.

[@trevorwinstral2530]

@@Cover1 I saw your previous Giants vid, but you do you, I still learn regardless if it is Bills or Giants tape! And the bills are probably gonna be a bit more exciting and face more interesting defences this year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Donnybrook10]

Fantastic analysis as always E. Great job. We gotta find a way to keep Blackshear.

[@Cover1]

Wish we could find a way, but the chances are slim.

[@juancarlosnegron2358]

Practice squad possibly or special teams would work.

[@donnyfoster1859]

Blackshear going to surprise everyone

[@joshurich1082]

Soo glad Ken Dorsey is our OC. I think it's gonna elevate this offense to the next level this year. Go Bills!❤️💙🦬💵

[@Cover1]

🙌🙌

[@BossRoller]

The Bills have good depth. No doubt. But, after seeing the details in the zone blocking scheme laid out in the video, I am convinced that the reason that it appears that the Bills seems to win every play despite the personell is because of the top-notch coaching. The are so few missed assignments and, when it does happen, it's because of the player's lack of ability rather than not knowing what he was supposed to do. The players all seem to know what they are supposed to do every play, including all of the intricate details described in the breakdown. Well done, Kromer!

[@BossRoller]

Just wanted to add that this is amazing content you guys are producing at Cover 1. Echoing some of the other comments here, Bills fans are lucky to have you guys break down film like this. I know I have learned a great deal from your videos and you make us feel smarter than other fan bases that don't have anything close to this. Well done, Cover 1!

[@Cover1]

Thanks for the comments and kind words. I agree, the coaching has made a difference thus far.

[@ebbtide2793]

Fantastic analysis and explanation! Really encouraging to see the running game take shape under Kromer and Dorsey.

[@Cover1]

Thank you!

[@dotatough]

They're going to be unstoppable this season

[@dotatough]

It's gonna be fun watching these backs run out games after halftime all season. Third rewatch.

[@BuffaloMotivated]

Josh Allen looks like Michael Jordan out there setting up the defenders with that 360 pass!

[@tytan777]

Eric you are a LEGEND!

[@Cover1]

Appreciate you

[@benblarr9176]

This is it right here. Preseason content like no one else.

[@tdtommy196]

Wow this is very cool! I always thought the hallmark of zone blocking was smallish o linemen, moving laterally. Here we see some massive bodies being very aggressive and consistently sealing off defenders at the second level. Night and day from what I believed this concept to be!

[@Cover1]

✊✊

[@dotatough]

Really impressed with keenum here too

[@milesnugent5916]

Great breakdowns! All of this run game talk makse me feel like JA won't be the lead rusher this year. All that said, its obvious when they used josh as a runner in the playoffs JA17 knows how to make RB reads and hit holes like an actual RB lol. That one from the cheifs game where he jumps over the line is probably my fav play of the game.

[@jamaal7603]

Once again great breakdown of the game fellas..Great work

[@Cover1]

Appreciate you

[@brandonc915]

I love these breakdowns and analysis videos you do, they help me see the game in a whole new way. Thank you. This was the first thing that i noticed watching the game Saturday. The O-line was attacking off the snap and hitting their blocks. It looked different to the untrained eye on regular tv, so this really helped me see what was going on. Awesome content!

[@Cover1]

Thank you. This means a lot!

[@buffalobrando1288]

Incredible break downs

Great breakdown bro

[@Cover1]

Thanks!

[@jonathanpielmeier4956]

If a "fan site" can provide an in depth breakdown of what Kromer brings back to this team, I can't wait to see what kind of detailed film analysis a "credentialed" reporter will provide! Should be dropping their vid any day now... ⏳️ 🤣 Best around, Erik!!

[@Cover1]

😂 you and I are both waiting. Thank you so much.

[@susansummers6891]

Bills starters are another animal

[@Nearly-famous-painter1960]

Great breakdown! I wonder if Ford will survive the cuts this week. I hope not.

[@thinkoutlowd2909]

Thank God Daboll happy passing Im only concerned with getting Allen all the passing n running yards so I can get a head coaching A sss outa here.

[@michaellucas853]

Coach Kromer: preseason MVP. Gotta love a pancake by Ford to end the film room.

[@Cover1]

💪💪

[@cjstrike87]

Let James Cook. Go Bills.

[@anujsingh333]

Erik, why exactly was Kromer unemployed over the last season? I understand a year off can be refreshing, but on the other hand, why did the rams not retain him or another team give him an offer he couldn't refuse? Not that I'm complaining, of course 😁 It goes without saying, but great work as always homie - I leave learning from the best

[@Cover1]

Thank you. And I have no idea.

[@gagegraika1675]

I don’t know why he staid unemployed, but his son took the O-line coach job with the Rams. Perhaps he wanted to be there for his son, while taking a season off?

[@donnyfoster1859]

Ford and Hart, oh god I hope they don’t get on the field at the same time during the season

[@tffury2007attack]

Motor is a bonafide RB1, I don’t care what anyone says. He’s like a low budget Barry Sanders. And I think Bobby Hart heard all the hate and shit talking on him because he’s been pretty good this preseason.

[@toopoorformensa]

Love your content. Can you do a deep dive on Moss? I don't see anything he does as being worthy of a roster spot over Blackshear

[@zukolives]

How much of this do was just preseason and how much variety are we going to see in the regular season? It is a great sign though that the boys dominated from start to finish regardless of who was in there. 1s 2s or 3s

[@Cover1]

The great sign wasnt the level of competition it was that the Bills depth players were sharp and using TECHNIQUE that is now being taught. They are executing what is being taught.

[@Jason-zc9on]

Per usual, great breakdown ET! I'm guessing you've been itching to dive into the new run-game tape for a little while, based on the results we've had so far ;) It's been a while since I've gotten excited about the potential of our run game- Motor could have a big year, Moss might bounce back, and Cook adds a great dimension. Plus Duke Johnson has looked good running and returning punts. There will be some tough cuts, especially since Taiwan Jones will likely make it as a Teams specialist. Blackshear will get buried on the depth chart so hopefully we can sneak him to the PS- I really like what we've seen from him, and it seems like he can be a dual threat. I'd like to see how he performs against first team Defenses, but you can't ask much more of what he's produced

[@Cover1]

Thanks!

[@aeromotive2]

Blackshear is impressive

[@dotatough]

Fucking awesome more breakdowns

[@Cover1]

Appreciate you

[@stacyking8520]

Kromer most valuable pickup this year.

[@dotatough]

Blackshear reminds me of Fred Jackson. Tell me I'm wrong

[@ThatGuyEli1]

I want Blackshear to make the team.

[@Cover1]

He’s so good.

[@donnyfoster1859]

Definitely they have to find a way to get him some playing time

[@chieforiely6096]

So is Spencer brown playing with second line since I remember the program showing quassinberry was starting RT

[@Cover1]

Yes. He’s working back from surgery.

[@krakhedd]

Eric, what'd ya think of Duke? He looks like he still has more than enough in the tank to be a contributor to an NFL team; do we trade or cut him, cuz I don't see any way Taiwan is getting booted and Blackshear would be my choice before Duke (all respect to Duke, he's getting old though and I'd prefer the youth of Blackshear)

[@Cover1]

Duke def still has some value to teams. He’s played well and has even popped on some returns.

[@krakhedd]

@@Cover1 do you think we can trade him, considering we got him for $1M? That seems reasonable value for an RB his age....or do we cut him and he hopes he gets a better deal? Is there any hope of getting anything from a trade, even a 7th rounder?

[@Cover1]

I don’t think they would do him like that. They will cut him and let him catch on with a team he wants.

[@faceofbear8024]

I fear the day Cook is tackled by a single lock of hair.

[@NoDoubt747]

Nice job! Can you do picture in picture with the second picture on repeat?

[@Cover1]

What?

[@gagegraika1675]

If I read this right, he wants to see an imagine of the line pre play, with second image (video) showing the play in motion on repeat. Thanks for the great content Eric. We are blessed to have someone like yourself helping to educate us and appreciate the Bills even more.

[@NoDoubt747]

Yeah, it’s great hearing you talk about the play and who is blocking who, but when the video is paused it’s hard to see the physics in action.

[@yourwrong6861]

Seeing a heavy zone scheme, I am wondering if that makes Moss more expendable. The one mid zone you showed with him, he doesnt come close to the burst that Blackshear possesses and when they start facing first team units, that split second difference is everything. I think cutting Blackshear would be a mistake. He is perfect for this run concept and looking to the future, you have him for 3 years, under 1 million per and you won't have to waste draft capital or overpay in FA next year for a RB if Singletary walks. It just seems like a classic Beane/McDermott move to keep Blackshear, since he satisfies several different fronts and needs. That being said, he wasn't drafted for a reason and maybe they think they can pluck another undrafted Blackshear type next year. Is there any chance in your mind, they would cut Moss and keep Blackshear?

[@Cover1]

I like Blackshear but he isn’t as valuable to the team as Moss or Motor THIS YEAR. I think they can somehow sneak him into the PS or find a similar guy next year.

[@Warcodered01]

Get the ball into the endzone, preferably quickly.

[@Cover1]

Yes, do that!

[@eeassa]

Gonna be some TOUGH decisions to get to 53.

[@Cover1]

No doubt!

[@Cover1]

Schemes are Vanilla, purpose and technique are not.

[@MRWESTASHLEY843]

@@Cover1 ur right...I'm just saying its looking good now. But it'll be alot cooler to see later on in the season

[@christ6927]

How soon is Ford gone get cut? 😂

[@Cover1]

Idk, he’s looked solid.

[@jonathanpielmeier4956]

Ford has looked great the last two weeks. I don't get the "how soon until we get rid of him talk." If Kromer can get the best out of his potential, isn't that what we want? Imagine if he actually becomes an an average guard and provides good depth at worst, or hits his full potential and can replace Saffold for a cheap contract next year. Isn't that what we want? Coaching makes a huge difference on the OL. Root for the guy to succeed

[@12NGclan]

With Allen’s size and strength would there ever be a design where he would be used in assisting the run blocking

[@RageDaug]

Allen is not a good blocker, but even if so, I still don't think you want to use your QB as a blocker, so I can't see any designed blocks for Allen. That said, Allen will definitely try to block if he sees a free runner heading toward the ball carrier.

[@GeeDeeBird]

I think for the Bills to be the very best team they can be, Josh Allen should not be an MVP candidate because the offense is so balanced that - though his passing efficiency is outstanding - his production is relatively low.

[@RageDaug]

You only need enough rushing to keep the defense honest, you don't need to go 1 to 1 passing to rushing ratio for optimal offensive play. Personally I like seeing 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 passing to rushing. I feel the Bills can easily get 250 passing and 125 rushing, and 300/100 games should be regular with this offense, which would keep Allen in the MVP conversation so long as he keeps his interceptions under control.
