The Bills were pass-heavy with Dorsey calling plays to take advantage of Josh Allen’s passing skills. Allen threw 579 passes (No other Bills player threw a pass last season) in 2023. The Bills ran the ball 385 times — a 60-40 pass-run ratio. Five Browns quarterbacks threw 624 passes. The team ran the ball 518 times — a 55-45 pass-run ratio.
“I think Ken sees it exactly how I see it,” Stefanski said. “You want to play through the strengths of your players. I don’t think either of us or anyone on our offensive staff believes that you have to do one thing to win, because that’s not the reality of life in the NFL.
“You have to be multifaceted. You have to be able to pivot in a game. You have to be versatile in what you’re doing. So, we’ll do what we feel is best for our players in any specific given game, because that changes game to game as well.”
Continuity was a strength of the coaching staff the first three years during Stefanski’s reign as head coach. Now change is viewed as a strength. The changes began last year when Jim Schwartz was hired to replace the fired Joe Woods as defensive coordinator and Bubba Ventrone was hired to replace the fired Mike Priefer as special teams coordinator.
Now change has revamped the offensive side of the ball — new offensive coordinator, new running backs coach, new tight ends coach and a new offensive line coach.
--------------------------
Last year it was a defensive redo. This year it's the offense.
You have to be multifaceted. Yes. If for no other reason than if one of your facets gets thwarted, you actually do have another facet to turn to. We saw this just this very season. We started the season where we left off previous seasons...a #1 or #2 rushing team. But with injuries to Chubb and the Offensive Tackle positions such that we were starting #'s 5 & 6 on the depth chart....we wound up not being able to run the ball hardly at all. Fortunately Flacco rolled into town in the nick of time to resurrect our passing attack and together with the defense, carry the team to a playoff birth.
You have to be multifaceted. Yes. But one facet does have more luster. The passing attack is more valuable when time is of the essence. When you need to quickly get down field for a FG attempt before the half. Or if you fall behind...it's not like you're going to RUN yourself back into the game. It's a passer's league. The rules limit what a defensive back can do to a receiver. But a running back running with the ball? He's fair game for just about any type of hit or tackle.
Stef thinks that he and Dorsey think alike. That's a good start. Let's see what Berry and team can do in FA to get the new OC the players he needs, like was done for Schwartz last year.

I think part of the reason we moved on from AVP is because of Elija Moore. Not because of anything Moore did, it was about what he didnt do. It seemed to me we simply slotted Moore in to the Schwartz role. Moore was our trick play specialist. Trick plays require an element of surprise. Wnen Moore came in to the game, teams were on the look out.
It just seemed that for the first 5-6 games of the season Moore was in a decoy role rather than an actual receiving weapon.

Yeah he was that. He got the gadget run plays. And he's such a little guy. When he'd catch a pass and be struggling for a few extra yards I'd be like, Please just go down. You're going to fumble, get hurt or both.
