Spector and Morrow look massive.

Copy cat league. The legion of boom spawned numerous cover 3 teams. Shannahan killed it. Those coaching tree coaches kill it. Vic Fangio, Mcdermott had success with 2 safties and force the offenses to play the long game. Now many teams are pivoting to that. Kc and Buf already pivoted to beating that style. They also have aliens at qb. Your average qb will struggle going 3 wide vs tighter window throws. I think you will see the difference on Oc’s and Qbs as the year goes on.

38-17. Jacksonville comes out with a defensive game plan to stop the run. Buffalo comes out firing and before you blink it’s 21-0 and the stadium is rocking.

Ed Oliver. Quietest 9.5 sacks by a DT maybe ever. 4th down blowing up the guard and getting the sack was art. He is playing pretty dominate football for a year now. Due to his size he can eat a double team in the run game from time to time. I think PFF negatively affects his overall perceptions. Dude is a top 5 tackle and is not talked about as such.

I would not. When he has played he has made plays. Been a bit handsy and inconsistent as a tackler. Those are coachable. If something happens to Douglas or Benford Im comfortable starting Elam. Douglas is 30 on his last year of his deal. If on a reserve role this year I would like to see how he reacts to a competition for the job next year. Elam is in this position more of what Benford has done and not what Elam has not done.

Void years. Help current cap by spreading the cap payment over years past physical contracted years.

Terrible early down pass rate and 2nd and long run rate. They are run, run, pass punt. With the obvious play action roll out to flat or tunnel screen for no gain sprinkled in for flare. I put little into pff grades. Especially, interior line play and second level defenders.

Only under 2 mins.

They obviously feel the injuries are less than 4 weeks. Benard they have until Sunday to make the decision.

Not keeping the weight he put on 2 off-seasons ago was a mistake. Gotta have that natural armer to absorb the hits. Having another severe brain injury on a normal football play makes you question everything for him moving forward. A neuro scientist or Dr wont be able to simply clear him of symptoms but future damage sustained. Eric Wood was healthy but any play cut threaten his spinal cord. Im not a doctor but wouldn't Tua risk paralysis with the increased reaction to the damage?

Tackle is a real problem for them. Losing Pacheco removes the explosiveness out of their run game. He runs like a bowling ball but also has real speed. They beat 2 good teams. The goods teams did also lose to the Raiders and Patriots.

I was being sarcastic. Jerry blows a fuse if they get blown out. Game is a must watch on Sunday imo. More AFC teams lose the better. I think Baltimore has lost too much on the oline over the years. RT looks like a problem. Same for guard. Is anyone scared of their run game? Jackson cant run it 15 plus times a game and make it to January.

Super bowl expectations and getting blown out 2 weeks in a row will sit fine with Jerry.

I think on Monday at home Buffalo has an offensive explosion. I 100% think the Jaguars DC is going to make an effort to stop the Bills run game. By doing so the passing game is dynamic and lethal. 3-4 passing Tds before half. Depending on the defense getting more turnovers the second half might be similar to Miami. A few big plays early might be too much for Jacksonville to withstand and the game is broken open.

Cowboys off a blowout loss and Baltimore off a choke job. Great game. I could see either team getting blown out or it being a defensive struggle. Cowboys wins really puts Baltimore in a blender. Same can be said for Dallas.

They are trying to coast him to the playoffs. I dont think they want to over use him early and zap his legs for another run. The AFC looks the most open. I think Buffalo has a shot at the 1 seed and bye. I think that would do wonders for the defense and overall team health.

Rapp played a ton last season. Starting now. Buffalo likes him a lot. Barring something changing Rapp is in the plan for next season too. Lewis is mix of slot and safety. Best of either Hamlin or Edwards could be retained. If Cine makes it off career life support that would be a depth option too.

Kc has some pretty big Oline issues and the best player on offense not named Mahomes or Kelce is hurt for a significant time in Pacheco. Without a run game. Puts a bit more on Kelce and Rice.

I think it calls into question the coaching at UF. Line up there play man. Benford had zone experience in college. I think it is more a guy never given anything and over looked in Benford. In a true even competition he wont it clean. More a plus on Benford than negative on Elam. I think Elam starts on 15 or so defenses. His athletic ability and ball skills are still high. Benford is a more consistent player in all areas.

Benford extended. Douglas is not retained. Ingram and Elam compete for starter. Rookie drafted day 2 for depth.

You would not get that game with Dorsey unless a weird weather game. Allen has now had 2 such games. Dallas and now Miami he passed for 130 yards. Main difference between Brady and Dorsey. Brady is intentional with the run. Seems to call the runs he thinks work best vs the defense. If he is correct he will call it over and over. Dorsey had runs he liked and would call them. No reason behind why. Based off formation and player groupings you could guess the run. The part that I think makes the offense more efficient is Brady marries the run plays with play action and pass plays. Less predictable except when they don't want to be. That long Td there was not a surprise what Buffalo was running. Miami knew what was coming and still hit it for a Td. That play ended the game in the second quarter. Matt Rhule had his hand in the offense and made it more conservative.

Take what the defense gives you. There will be teams that think they stop the run they will win outside. This will result in a 200 yard first half. Probably Jacksonville. They will take away the run and Allen will explode.

I think at the core it is as simple as looking at how defenses are defending Allen. Let’s get more stout in the interior. Torrence, Mcgovern at center and Edwards. Are people movers. Morse was not. Helps with the interior rush. The type that effective Allen the most. Helps the run and passing. How far can we take stretch nickel. Bigger body wrs. Coleman, Hollins and MVS are all over 6-3. With knox and Kincaid? Jumbo Te 6th olineman? Buffalo’s offseason and player acquisition has been strategic.

Mcdermott plays pass 100% especially vs Mcdaniel and Reid. Historically, when they need a play or a jolt they pass. I think that is what makes Mcdermott different than many defensive minded head coaches.

Most defensive coaches are tough guys. They dont stomach being run at. Run effectively for them to adjust. With Dorsey and Daboll they didnt have the ability to move people upfront. You start gashing them they will adjust. Brady finds a run vs you he will spam it until you stop it. When you do thats when more things open up.
