I was happy he used the stiff arm to prevent getting lit up. CB has to slow down when he presents it else hell just slide off the tackle. The throwing arm part is a good thought. Wonder how often people get injured on stiff arms versus hits near the sidelines.

Tua is kinda hard to dislike 😆
Now he is but when he first came out it was easy. 2020 as a rookie he came in for an injured fitz and they won a bunch of games in a row. But was clearly more the defense (I think there were multiple defensive TDs) and when asked what he thought about the NFL he said he thought it would be harder. Proceeded to get beat by the broncos enabling bills to cruise to first division win of this era. But when he said that I was happy to root against his smugness

Well I’m 99% sure that the Bills take this one. That said, I am sure they aren’t taking a division opponent lightly. It is no doubt the Dolphins have holes on their roster (OL, DB, LB), and some of their top end players (Fitzpatrick, Chubb, Hill) may be past their prime. That said, I do believe they’re better than people are giving them credit for. I do not think they stand a chance vs these Bills but they will have their moments. Achane is a good back, and they can get after the QB a little bit. I am fully expecting a dominant victory, but it won’t be a complete knockout. I think you’ll see the dolphins land some punches, but we’ll eat them and be no worse off. Our team is too experienced, well prepared and much more fundamentally sound than I believe the dolphins to be.
No, it was almost exclusively Walker/Jones and Logue/Sanders…with Walker and Logue manning the 1
Thanks for clarifying. Was legitimately confused. DQ is the 3 in that picture above. Very interesting. Got any thoughts? Wonder if film reviewers have caught this (haven’t watched cover 1 analysis yet).

Posting this here because it may be relevant while Ed is out: after reviewing some All22, there were a significant amount of snaps where Deone Walker/DaQuon Jones were paired with Walker as the 1T.
My only thought on this is that they like Walkers length over the middle of the defense as he’s shown the ability to knock down some balls.
paired with Sanders?

It depends how they lost and who we lost to. If we lost because we had the same flaws that cause us to lose every January, then yea I'd been concerned that we still haven't addressed key problems. If there were tough bounces in a hard fought loss to high end teams? Not so much.
Frankly, I still feel nervous about our week 1 game against the Ravens, as I feel the game script and results were very similar to the playoff win last year and both times we needed a tremendous amount of luck to bounce our way to get out with a win. Whether or not we won in Week 1 was less interesting to me than the lack of answers we had for their rushing attack.
This time of year, getting better is my primary focus.If youre saying that we got some luck go our way to pull out a close game then sure week 1 and the playoffs were similar (along with every close game). But the game scripts were opposites to me. We had a solid lead for much of the playoff victory and they were playing catchup. In week 1 it was the opposite and we were playing catch up the whole time. This defense is still figure itself out so Im not fretting about the run defense yet and will let it play out more before i do worry. I agree getting better is the primary focus; so do you also feel better after the run defense we showed yesterday?

Wow, one of the all time most ridiculous, idiotic, ignorant, sour grapes comments in the 25+ years I have been on this forum--see bold above!!!
Anyone that thinks that, well, there are no words that define how dumb that is--shockingly so..
If by eat his lunch, he means Coleman would definitely have 100++, maybe 200+yards, and 2-3 TDs, then I would agree with that statement completely.
Yikes. Scary ignorant. Can only imagine how this poster must have bashed Coleman for months!
I don’t even see Wallace in the league. Couldn’t find him on the jags roster.

I really don’t know the Jets’ roster. Are these players of any consequence?
Bonus points if you can phonetically spell the RB’s last name.
Reynolds is really their only WR of note after Wilson. Means more attention can be paid to Wilson so that’s good. Michael Carter probably plays but he’s average to above average starter.
4 hours ago, Rockinon said:You know who had a big game vs the Jets last year? Ray Davis. RBs might be a big factor. Davis ran right at an over aggressive Dline. They were bringing heat to stop Allen but Davis was hitting holes fast and making them pay. I don't think this game plays out the same way, but the Jets defense does have trouble with gap integrity when they don't know what's coming next. I expect Allen to spread the ball around and to change the call at the line often. The Jets have a good defense, but they do get caught when they try to play aggressive. It's a cat and mouse game and Josh is learning that it's much more fun being the cat.
New coaches so last year doesn’t mean much. They will blitz (5th highest % week 1) and play man so I agree they’ll be aggressive. I would just throw to whoever sauce is not guarding. Preferably whoever Stephen’s is covering. Sneaky game for 11 personnel though if they wanna leave Michael Carter out there against 12 we should be happy to mash them.
21 minutes ago, Ya Digg? said:The only other time Fields has faced the Bills he threw for like 120 yards. Not saying you can’t be nervous, but I think people are overreacting to how close their game was last week.
Tough to use that data because it was with a different team/coach and it was like 0 deg at kickoff.

They will blitz more than previous Jets defense that relied on their front 4 for organic pressure.
Glenn loves man coverage, their DC Wilks prefers zone coverage, but they have said they are going to be a marriage of the two concepts. They are more aggressive than previous Jets defenses.
35.3% blitz. you aint kidding (5th overall). Also strangely all AFC East teams were in the top 5 for Blitz %.

Between the two teams, I think the Jets have the best player in Williams. But I think the Ravens have a deeper set of players.
Either way, I expect the Bills OLine will hold their own just fine.
Fair for DT. I think NYJ edge are a bit better (including depth) than BAL. Hope they can hold up. Q Will has wrecked things for us before and that’s my fear. Torrence seems to be our equalizer for him.

Maybe this conversation is missing the weight of rushing versus passing. If both are equal maybe it’s fair to say the ravens are clearly better. But passing is more important and we clearly have the better QB (for passing), pass rush, and pass catching backs. Ravens are great on the ground but passing > rushing.

Like many are pointing out, the Jets and Ravens have a lot of similar traits. The two big thing that stand out for me is that Hall is no DH and Fields is no Lamar. Facing the Ravens was a really nice opportunity to remember how to play teams build like this. Things like setting the edge, gap integrity ECT...
Jets are like the Great Value brand of Raven football. I expect the Bills defense...who actually played well late in the Ravens game, to be fine tuned and ready to easily shut down the Jet offense.
And while Allen does seem to get bottled up by the Jet defense...we all saw his stats against the Ravens in last year's. Yet he went off for almost 400 passing yards and is likely to win OPOW honors. I see him having some success against the Jet defense. But now that defense doesn't have CJ Mosley. No DJ Reed. Heck they gave up 4 TD passes to Aaron Rodgers and he's 127 years old. Josh should eat well Sunday.
I think NYJ has a better DL than BAL and that worries me a quite a bit.

And the only reason they had those :30 to work with was McDermotts aggressive use of timeouts when the Ravens still had the ball on the previous possession. I don't think most coaches would have had the stones to do that on first and second down outside the 10 yrd line with nearly 2:00 left in the half.
Glenn messed this same situation up for the Jets. Could have had 40 seconds more in the first half he had been more aggressive

Since acquiring Henry Baltimore's O really has had it's way with us if not for the few critical turnovers. Week 4 they blew us out. Divisional round last year, Mark Andrews personally gifted us the win with 2 critical drops and a fumble. This past week it was the critical Henry fumble late in the game that gave us a chance. Yeah, you can make the argument that what makes us the better team is the ability to generate turnovers and it is something the Bills under McDermott have had continued success with, but it's just not something I like hanging my hat on because there is usually a lot of variance and luck involved with turnover differential.
Logically it dont make sense. How were we in position to take advantage of one TO (that came really late in the game) if they had this game circled as revenge (all reporting from the sideline was they were just having a good time) and they are clearly the better roster? To me it seems that they had a lot to prove and set out doing it. We are similarly talented and so we kept pace with them (particularly through the second half) so that when they made a critical mistake we were in position to take advantage. Simply being in position to take advantage of ONE TO means they are not clearly the better roster.

The defense with 4 All Pros gave up 41 points. Bills oline and Wr corp is better. D line is a push leaning Buffalo. Saftey play Baltimore and Corner room is a push. They are closer than you think. Media and PFF say one thing but the results in the field say another. In the last 2 games what play did Baltimores defense make? They gave up more points, made less plays but are better because they have a cool black bird on their helmet?
I have found it funny that lead into the game was that Ravens have a better roster AND they circled this game so will give it their best shot. Then after the game its still Ravens gave it their best shot for 3.5 quarters and have a better roster. I just dont understand how you can think they are clearly a better roster and played better for 3.5 quarters but lost. Something has to give there.

Cook has had 1 game in his career so far where he has taken over the game. How many has Josh Allen had? How many has Derrick Henry had? No team is looking at the Bills on a weekly basis and thinking "we need to stop James Cook before Josh Allen". I think a lot of teams especially the Bills will look at the ravens team and see Derrick Henry as their biggest threat.
Didnt say the game plan prioritizes cook over josh allen. I do disagree that cook has only took over 1 game. Most of the time he takes over its a rout and they stop feeding him (he only has 3 games with over 20 rushing attempts!!!). I do think lots of teams (especially after last year) think stopping the run is the way to make Josh one dimensional and get after him. So yes I think teams game plan around James Cook (the original comment). No team has a game plan against one thing or else you end up like Dallas a few years ago (didnt game plan for the run and couldnt adjust from having a safety play Will) or Seahawks (didnt plan for so many passes and routinely found themselves in bad matchup ala Adams man coverage on Diggs).

Probably should be an exception for the back of the endzone and QBs outside the pocket. WR near the back line is not nearly as much of a blocking threat as someone near the sideline (where the outside the pocket rule would apply most often). Otherwise coaches should teach to push WR out the back against us. This rule has the potential to take away a lot of good plays (like this 2 pt play).

I think the difference in the quality of safeties really what exacerbates that feeling that the Baltimore D as a whole is that much better. And Henry on their offense does the Same thing. Cook had as many TDs as Henry last year but teams generally don't gameplan around Cook like they do Henry.
Teams definitely game plan around cook since the cowboy games two years ago. Also a sorta silly comment. Thats like saying teams dont game plan around the bills running game which is one of the best in the league. You absolutely game plan around how yorue gonna defend cook in the run game (probably commit an extra defender for him vs Johnson, Davis). Its not like hes some dude who gets a touch everyone once in a while.

Besides what’s been mentioned I’m taking Milano over Simpson. Definitely Torrence over faalele and maybe even Edward’s. Did y’all miss where ed blew up their entire iOL. This is really much closer than peeps are giving credit (besides Safety and MLB the difference is pretty small).

Let me correct you again. Simmons played in and started 16 games for Atlanta last year (at least according to Wikipedia and I believe them over what appears to be your random guesses of what happened).
This angle you seem to keep pursuing - that Simmons has been out of the game, is rusty or hurt, is wrong. The odds on reason for him not being with a team is price.
Beane should be keeping an eye on players, it's his job! And right now the discussion is on how much of his job should be focused on finding better talent on the back end of this defense. Much like last year when the board had a lot of discussion on what to do about WRs - and a lot of people were "oh, it's fine". And then, surprise, a WR.
Pro football reference has him with a 82 passer rating when targeted last year which also shows hes not washed at all.

I was encouraged by Javon Solomon getting snaps in this game. Hoping he can make Epensa be expendable at the trade deadline (both had 16 snaps total).

Im interested to see the LB play on the all 22. Henry got through holes untouched if the DL didnt make a play behind the LoS. Makes me think Milano and Bernard were getting washed (maybe cause DL in front of them wasnt holding up). Some bad angles taken by Safeties but Henry having a full head of steam makes me think the LBs werent doing enough.

Interesting that there isn’t a thread for who we think will start if Tre can’t go which I believe is the most likely outcome for week one.
I’m betting we start Dorian Strong. He seemed to be trending up toward the end of preseason and is someone with the kind of boundary coverage skills the coaches will want (assuming he’s far enough along in defensive concepts). I like Ingram better when teams spread us out and we need to go dime.
What do you guys think? Is Dorian far enough along to warrant being 2nd string on the outside?
Heard he was playing better the last few weeks which would be good cause he was not doing well against the run in the bears game. Bears ran the same play back to back plays at the goaline and he didnt replace the crack block on either (second time WR actually stuck his nose in and hit Lewis which led to a TD).

He was inactive after that Broncos game (got pulled during it looks like). And yeah that was a rough move to pull him back in the middle of the game.
