A couple points I haven't read on forum about defense affecting the offense.....
1)The bills offense practices against our own defense. So if the bills defense is poor tackling it can affect our offensive play calls. For example...I did not like that 4th and 2 run with shakir. It looked like it had no chance. But maybe in practice it was working well against our own D?
2) Also, the Bills run a unique defense which is base nickel. Again, Bills offense is practicing against this. How much practice do they get if any against typical 4-3/3-4 defenses?
So how much does the bills defense affect the offense and offensive play calling?
