Boston can get swallowed by a sinkhole Pahk tha cah somewhere else

Idk when 6'2 started being elite size at WR Maybe he has elite weight lol

I'm pretty good with cadences and how they're called And I'm pretty certain it's black 20 ready set hut. Or black 20 set hut on a shorter cadence

He says black 20 set hut Or black 20 ready set hut depending on cadence Your welcome

For sure there are niches for guys like that but he isn't Ed Reed don't let him fool you Aaron Williams was actually a really good football player. He played with passion , strength, tenacity and awareness I thought the day we drafted him he should be plugged in at safety. I thought he was the best or second-best safety prospect in the class He just didn't have the speed to cover on the outside and the bills put a square peg in a round hole At safety he was a natural.. he could cover, hit, had ball skills What he didn't have was discipline, he was a reckless player and that was his undoing

I've Always believed that as a player if you aren't progressing, you are regressing... Especially in the NFL Between Levi, Norman , and Gaines they should atleast be able to hold it down adequately by committee based on game plan and opposing WRs Levi should still be progressing in the system tho he will always have some physical limitations. He has a good feel for the game and good instincts. He just has to play off the ball a lot because he doesn't have the speed to press Norman should have 1 year left. What made Norman so good in his prime was his closing burst and instincts just like Tre.. unfortunately he has started to lose some of that closing Burst BUT a reunion with McDermott should give him the thing he's been missing. Scheme fit McDermott and Frazier are so good at scheming they can draw a trap. Basically a play were they will dictate where the ball will go. So on 3rd and 9 they can draw a trap play to basically make the quarterback go where they want him to go, short of the sticks And all Levi or Norman has to do is make the tackle 6 yards downfield. Norman and Tre have both been all pros in Sean's system so I wouldn't be surprised to see Norman play well for a season. Maybe 3-4 picks

The problem with that is Dugger isn't some covering specialist right now, actually a long way to go He will be an in the box safety or a sub package LBr for a few years at least . He is nothing like a Hyde He is an enforcer at this point with great speed but his coverage skills are lacking McDermott wanted him to play the box role in his big nickel, not cover half the field in coverage

As I said earlier football is a chess match.. throughout all four quarters in 60 minutes This isn't the only defensive play call that they use. It just became one of their most effective passing play calls Versus Tennessee there was a lot more crashing the line of scrimmage to take away the run

As I've been saying in my thread Jim Johnson has his fingerprints all over this defense through McDermott

Yeah I may know the game of football inside and out forward and backward But computers not super savvy. So I couldn't find a pic of the bills in that formation but I could McDermott's Panthers squad lol And as I said the premise of the Dual A Gap look is the same and McDermott been doing it as long as anyone around today. He learned from the legend Jim Johnson who was a genius The combination between Frazier and McDermott is honestly bread and butter. McDermott's a little bit more aggressive , Frazier's a little bit more toned back And the scheme turns out to be a super complex yet fluid organism that swarms the football like a hive of bees

That's what I'm here for

Ansalem has dropped Kentucky from his final 6 and SU looks to be the favorite!

And yes that's exactly how I would put it. McDermott has been building his defensive philosophy for 20 plus years Frazier took his own knowledge and what Sean likes to do and is getting up to speed on Sean's full philosophy. It's a lot more than one year job as I just said McDermott's been building it for 20 years Frazier no doubt has a better grasp on it today than he did 2 years ago and it's evident by his playcalling which is way more advanced I would expect Frazier to be getting another HC chance soon because he is gonna tear it up

This is not my video but I was looking for certain looks to explain some other McDermott tendencies NOTICE- McDermott not afraid to run 8 man box. Basically 9 on 1 play... Bodies everywhere on run downs This is where Poyer excells as a run stuffer / Blitzer.. in the box off the edge. He is great at timing the snap and blowing up the backfield Where he struggles is in downhill run support. This year Sean had him all over the LoS early on downs to wreak havoc and play to his strengths I wish the video showed Sean's overload package and how he uses Poyer/ Taron so effectively because he only brings it out 2-5 times a game but boy is it effective

The threat is the diversion... that's the real secret ?

Yes Sean is no stranger to combo coverages. All things he learned from Jim Johnson It's also not strange to see the Bills play a cover 6 which is a zone combination coverage of cover 4 and 2

Those are all good questions and as a former corner and defensive backs coach I can tell you that's why you need smart football players Leodis mckelvin , great cover corner, not a fit for a palms system Ideally in zone coverage your first steps are always backwards. In quarters you're trying to get depth.. so tre is naturally playing his quarters and getting depth while peaking on the slot corner to see if he runs an out breaking route. And you're right a great play call can confuse palms coverage.. but football is a chess match and they need to have that perfect call at the right time Sorry gobills meant to quote Colorado @ColoradoBills

Palms coverage is a name given to a modified quarters coverage which can turn into man coverage depending on the offenseive looks McDermott really favored this style of coverage last year McDermott comes from the football school of timing is everything. He's not opposed to overload blitzing and stunting defensive lineman But you're also not going to see a lot of that on first and second Downs . On run downs he's focused about Gap integrity and maintaining it. Stunting d-lineman causes the opposite of that So he's a lot more situational with regards to that kind of stuff

Very true and Johnson could dial up masterpieces They both learned from a legend Every play caller has positive and negative tendencies, and sure Fraser can be a little conservative at times but is usually right on the money and knows how to call a game within the flow

Frasier is a huge part of what we do no doubt He started a little slow but his playcalling is very very good and he knows situational football and what McDermott wants out of his defense. I think he needed that wake up call 2 years ago Though I doubt he's the one that implemented palms coverage or the Dual a gap looks. He is more of a teacher and developer than white board play designer

There are a lot of cover 2 variations but typically the squatting cornerback in cloud coverage will play the vertical from underneath leverage if all are running verts And yes McDermott Fraser's system is as much about brains as it is talent

Well Sean used quarters coverage more than anything last year and both our safeties can take infinite ground away playing that technique You could also disguise it in 50 different ways. There's a reason we weren't beat over the top last year

If you have the personnel to run palms coverage. Which 95% of the NFL doesn't... You are at a strict X's and O's advantage. As I said in the OP, the modern NFL offense stretches you vertically and horizontally Cover 4 has long been used to counteract teams vertically. But it's horizontally challenged The palms coverage gives the bills the best possible way of counteracting teams vertically and horizontally on the same play This is a reason why the bills did not give up any bombs really. The base quarters of palms is amazing against verticals, and when it shifts to its man elements, Tres reaction speed allows him to get to out breaking routes at will

Diagram 1 is the Carolina Panthers while McDermott was there

Diagram 2 shows Sean's favorite coverage from last year. Palms coverage out of a cover 4 look Palms coverage is a very advanced coverage that most NFL teams don't even run its so complex. It all comes down to the awareness and the communication between corner and safety tandems It's a quarters look with man elements depending on the offensive look.. where out routes are cover 4 killers , Palms counteracts that Outside corners in quarters coverage CONVERT to MAN on slot out routes. Changing from quarters coverage to man. The safeties in quarters coverage THEN became man up on the outside receivers This is a very complex design but smart corners like Tre and Levi and Safeties like Hyde and Poyer allow us to execute this advance coverage almost flawlessly Tres reaction and closing speed is Elite and this plays right into his hands Now defenses don't know how to attack Buffalo's cover 4 because the green areas ARE NO LONGER GREEN The slot wide receivers dictate what technique our corners and safeties will play
