Fixing The Run Game | The Take

This week on The Take host Steve Mathes ponders whether just a little bit of ego from Head Coach Sean McDermott could play a role in slightly shifting the focus of our 2021 offense. The Buffalo Bills broke out to some big leads in 2020 only to see the box score non-reflective of those early wide gaps on the scoreboard. A lot of that is the blame on the performance of the defense. Could Head Coach Sean McDermott, a noted defensive mind, believe the lack of a run game to milk clock played a role in the decline of his defense? Could the Bills spend parts of this off-season figuring out ways to re-incorporate man/power/gap blocking schemes as opposed to the zone looks they utilized in 2019? Will that mean a shift in focus from the high-powered spread game to a more Josh Allen under center and the use of more 12 personnel? Tune in to find out Steve's thoughts!

The show also sits down with former University of Buffalo offensive lineman and current NFL Draft Prospect Kayode Awosika to discuss mindsets, blocking schemes, and the pre-draft process.
