What a laser

Wonder if Cam Lewis saw that PBU

I think Josh has an outside shot looking in. The Monday night Bengals game, on the road, vs. the reigning AFC Champions who are playing very good football and in the 1 seed conversation, will loom large. If he goes out and lights in up and the biggest stage football has to offer, in a meaningful game, vs a quality opponent, I think he’s right in the conversation

It’s so hard to tell what the assignment is. Even if you could figure it out, you’re 100% right: there is so much variation based on down and distance, alignment, personnel, etc. the best you can do is guess. It’s still fun to speculate and look at it through a different viewpoint. Im not sure where you get cover one from this. What you’re insinuating regarding a Hamlin bind would be a product over cover 3 zone, but running two vertical seams challenging the middle third defender to lean one way. Cover 1 man would undoubtedly have someone matched up on Waddle, even in off coverage. It’s interesting: You see White clearly point out the drag back into the formation while gaining depth in his drop, Edmunds presnap signaling the seam. It seems well coached, just poorly executed.

If it’s 3, who has the other 3rd? Hamlin, White and ? Dane is clearly playing outside in while sitting on the flat/out

If he was playing the deep 3rd, why’d he jump the crosser? He is almost looking like a robber dropped into the hole post-snap…also, Milano’s drop was curious as he races out to hook/curl with no outside threat. Could this potentially be cover 6 to the trips? That’s make the Poyer jump even more egregious if he was playing deep half

One thing I notice Dorsey likes to do is reduce WR splits and motion WRs in On running downs. I hate this. I absolutely hate this. It just muddies the waters. It isn’t eye candy like a jet action, and it isn’t to check coverage. Idk what the idea here is, but I am yet to see some sort of PA off of it.

I’ve rewatched this a ton of times trying to figure out what the coverage was supposed to be and who you’d hang the TD on. Set the scene: 3rd Quarter: 3rd&4 Dolphins in the gun, trey tight formation (3WRs to one side, TE to the opposite end of LOS). Defensive Alignment Pre Snap: Two shell look, with White playing 5-6 yards off of WR1, Taron locked on the slot (Hill) and WR 3 (Waddle) uncovered. Dane to the TE side playing a wide outside shade. Post snap: WR 1 drags across the field, pulling Edmunds up into the middle button hook. WR2 runs a skinny post, essentially attempting to hold Hamlin deep. WR 3 runs the opposite hash seam. Tua eyes the crosser on WR 1 and Poyer jumps it, only to let Waddle fly behind him for the TD, exposing what appears to be Hamlin being beat deep. Ive heard people assigning blame to #3 for this play because he is the one chasing. In my view, this appears to be on Poyer. Based on Dane’s initial alignment and drop post-snap, paired with the LBs (including Taron) who seem to be playing deep hook/curl window and White appearing to read WR2 (and calls out the drag) thus explaining his depth in his drop, makes me think this is cover 2. Am I wrong here? Is this on Hamlin like many think, or is Poyer the one that should be catching heat?

Pretty sure that title goes to Nathan Peterman, who we’ll see in the sidelines vs. the Bears this weekend. Ironically, it was in 2018 AGAINST the bears where (if you don’t recall) he ended up TRYING TO SCRAMBLE IN A HAIL MARRY FROM THE 50 YARD LINE. Hilarious. We lost that game 41-9 and haven’t played them since.

I really can’t believe people are still concerned about Josh Allen’s elbow

Could the 3rd LB in this week be Bernard because of his open field athleticism to try and limit Fields?

Usually he gets those heavy feet when he uses that 45 degree jump set. If often leads to him with two feet planted and guys running around him. This has me curious for two reasons: 1) Is this a Kromer thing? Why not use a more vertical kick to try and keep those feet and hands active? Is it because he is so strong and when he latched on, their is no chance for the pass rusher? 2) Is that something Kromer wants because he doesn’t want to open him up to being beat inside? Very curious about the techniques used here, but it seems to me he is often caught flat footed when he gets too aggressive at the point of attack with those jump sets EDIT - maybe it isn’t the set itself but the depth. He seems to get caught flat footed or leaning

Chicago ranks 27th in rush defense ypg this season and over the past 3 games. The Bills can and will run the ball on this team.

Someone tell this to 76 Turns out, So was Saffold

“Wow, what a play!” - Christian Wilkins, probably

There is a guy named James Smith-Williams? wow.

I mean technically, wasn’t he?

It’s December 18th, have you been in a coma the past three weeks?!

Dabol looks like he’s been enjoying them NY pizzas and Staten Island bagels

Felicia I gets blown up lol

I love me some Motor. I will miss him next year when he is with the Giants

Safe bet. Thought I saw somewhere that they are optional for coaches

Bears coming off a shorter week is something to note as well. With back to back Saturday games, this is essentially a normal week for the Bills just accelerated by one day. The Bears have to cut out something, wether it a day off, install, practice, film, etc. Advantage, Buffalo.

I think they’ll use a 3 man rush with a delayed rush/spy like we saw vs KC. Sit back and play coverage, and let the horses up front go to work.
