‘Josh is just a really good leader for us'

For more on what’s happening within Buffalo’s offense, here are some highlights from offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s recent press conferences.

Q: You’ve had quite a bit of success with the screen game this year. What do you think has led to so much improvement in that area?

BD: We put a lot of time into it in the offseason on Zoom calls — myself, along with all of the assistant coaches. We really went back and studied our stuff and studied the league and just really tried to tighten up all the coaching details that we could. And then we presented it to the players in the offseason. And then when we got here, that’s one of the things we presented to them as we did the running game too and really tried to fine tune it. The screen game, when you go back and study it, which we did, it’s a hit or miss thing. There’s some really good ones and there’s some where, whether the (defense plays) it or a guy slips off ... but it’s something that you need offensively. It helps against good pass rush teams and we’re a throwing team so that helps. It’s something that we did a lot of work on. Studied it a lot, had a lot of good conversations with the coaches and that’s something we need to try to continue to work on and get better at.

Q: Why did that work look like as far as going over it with the coaches over on Zoom and then relaying it to the players?
