I mean i agree overall 🤣 but we should at least also list his 60 yard return seeing as it feels like the first one all year!

I see said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Poyer has always racked up tackles---often after getting plowed past the 1st down marker. He's getting smoked continuously.

Going heavy with a single high safety has usually been where buffalo gets gashed for huge runs

Be nice, Dr. Nassar

Allen wants to score a touchdown on every offensive possession, when we don't he feels that is a failure.

It’s an outdated system that worked years ago because teams were predominately in 21 personnel. Very rarely do you see teams in that personnel package anymore. In addition when the Bear front was successful the vast majority of the teams had statues of Quarterbacks and even the mobile ones aren’t like the ones you see today. This meant the likelihood of them getting past the Bear front and running was minimal. The best and really only time to use it is in Hoskins situations but typically teams have gameplan specific goaline personnel packages based on talent now. The only other time you could possibly run it is in 6 OL packages where you know it’s unlikely the eligible lineman is going out for a pass. 12 and 13 personnel maybe as well but new age TEs would carve that up

Being as it's after the trade deadline, doesn't he have to clear waivers? Don't all players cut after the trade deadline need to clear waivers?

I see you've been doing some backyard birding. Great discovery.

At around 3:55, he's asked how he thought the totality of his play was vs the Bucs. He says "I didn't play too well", is the exact quote.

He had two catches this week and suffered two injuries. The math adds up.

We ran that in HS. Called it the 5-2. Also had a S come up often against running teams. It was pretty effective because everything gets clogged up. Gotta have CBs to to stay w the WR tho. Doesn't really work well if you play zone in the secondary. Lots of open space back there.

It’s always been a mystery. How does a guy have 3 100 yard games as a rookie play himself out of the league two years later. Really no idea. He was a key special teamer in year 2 and was for Wash in year 3. My guess after looking at his stats, I wonder if he got hurt with Wash and that ended his career.

You missed the part where I said not dancing on the sidelines WHILE BENCHED

The cat has been out of the bag for weeks - the Bills can't stop the run. Yet, we continue to trot out a base nickel. Even when we go 3 LBs, we aren't that effective. Most of that seems to be personnel But maybe we should mix in more of the Bear Front. I feel like I saw some three DT packages against the Bucs 5 DL would mean 2 LBs, 2 S, and 2 CBs...? Not crazy. Basically sub out Taron for a DT, as opposed to a third LB. Ideally one of the DEs like Epenesa could drop back and defend a short zone as needed

sure piggy. the R's are winning big on epstein. the latest polls conclusively prove it

Essentially you'd replace a coverage guy (Taron) with an extra DL. The only time you might be safe to run this is goal line situations because they are so condensed. It was reported VS the Bucks, when the Bills defended the run with 3 LBers, they actually held up pretty well.

Dawkins is also a borderline All Pro and defacto team captain.

That was very very cool. Ty for sharing!

How has Mills been playing lately?

I actually look forward each week to seeing what Samuel’s new injury is. I think he has had a rib, groin, neck, wrist, elbow, several “personal”? This isn’t even counting last year.

Bear with me here. I’m no expert, so I’m looking for feedback from those who are… I was listening to the NFL channel on Sirius this morning and a conversation came up regarding running against the Bear Front: a nose, two DTs, and two DEs. They said it was nearly impossible to run against and normally offenses will check to a pass to get around it. Their example was the Pat’s Bear Front call in the Seahawks Super Bowl. Marshawn was never going to run on the end zone play because it was a Bear Front and the Pats knew the Seahawks would check to the slant. Good coaching. I make no claim we have the personnel to run this call often, or we should base our defense around it, but have any of you seen that type of front called this year from us? Have we mixed it in to stop the bleeding in some of our worse performances? I heard we ran some 3-4 stuff to try. Would it even work with our guys?

Imagine being "young and new on the job" and earning a reputation as lazy, and putting yourself in the Coaches dog house 3 times in less than 2 seasons? Calling Dawkins fat and sloppy says something about how you think, and it is not how men that play professional football think. That "fat, sloppy veteran" did the young and new guy a big favor. Coleman should listen to this helpful message. Dawkins has been with the Bills a long time, he is a pro bowler and a core veteran on this team. His comments were warranted and appropriate. If Coleman finds them "ineffective and not helpful" then his football career with this team might be a short one.
