The Buffalo Bills have completed Day 2 of training camp practice under new head coach Joe Brady at St. John Fisher University. The first two practices under Brady have really felt different from the training camp practices the team ran under former head coach Sean McDermott.
A point of emphasis for Brady and his staff is to have faster-paced practices, since the days of tackling and hitting the quarterback during camp are long gone under the current CBA signed back in 2011.
Under McDermott, the Bills sometimes had no-huddle plays in their playbook. Still, with Brady being a young offensive mind and wanting an aggressive defense as well, he may want to incorporate more no-huddle into the Bills' game-day offense.
Let's take a look at how Brady's upbeat practices could release a no-huddle offense this season.
Training camp works on no-huddle offense
Offense can produce more pass plays with screen plays from running backs
Bills fans have become accustomed to offensive coordinators with certain throwaway plays to keep the defense honest. When Brian Daboll was the Bills' offensive coordinator, he was well-known for calling halfback draws on third down and long.
But over the last two full seasons under former offensive coordinator Joe Brady, he often called screen passes on 3rd-and-15, which actually gained more yards than Daboll's 5-yard draw plays. Now that Brady is the head coach, he will still call those screen passes, but he will be working with new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., who previously worked with the New Orleans Saints.
What Brady and Carmichael Jr. should want to do is revert to the successful 1990s Bills teams and run HB screen plays to James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson, similar to when Jim Kelly used Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis on screen passes back in the day.
The goal is to unlock all three running backs' pass-catching talents, in addition to their traditional between-the-tackles running. This will help the offense be more creative, while screen plays are all about getting the snap off quickly and timing the ball release.
Use DJ Moore as gadget player on WR reverse plays
Before he reunited with Brady and the Buffalo Bills, D.J. Moore was the main No. 1 receiving target under Ben Johnson with the Chicago Bears and under Brady the first time with the Carolina Panthers.
While the talented receiver is expected to collect his targets and catches from superstar quarterback Josh Allen, he has also been used in the past as a gadget player for his speed and ability to carry the ball on wide-receiver reverse plays. Expect more of the same this season now that he and Brady are reunited in Buffalo.
As per Alex Brasky Josh Allen was lined up under center with Moore in motion. As soon as he moved, the center snapped the ball to Allen. He handed it off to Moore on a wide receiver reverse play, another way the Bills intend to use their new WR this year.

With the Bills' plans to speed up the pace of camp practices and add some more creative wrinkles to help the offense move the ball down the field faster, let's hope it leads to a healthy and successful season with no major injuries and a healthy postseason roster riding all the way to the Bills' first Super Bowl ring ever.
