HurlyBurly51 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I hesitate to post this on this the day of our first victory, but please, someone explain to me how he had Poz covering Calvin Johnson in that crucial situation?! No excuse for that. None. Get him out of here. He has been obviously outclassed and over his head all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Or on that final drive Johnson is in the middle of the field uncovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. ChumChums Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 To be fair, that was a great offensive play design to get Calvin Johnson away from McKelvin and into a mismatch. Granted, I still believe that George Edwards has done a piss poor job of implementing the new defense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b stein 22 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) Yes I want to fire him, but its not going to happen. So just give him the year. He will help to secure the first pick in the draft. Edited November 14, 2010 by b stein 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 To be fair, that was a great offensive play design to get Calvin Johnson away from McKelvin and into a mismatch. This is more of an indictment of the offense (including during the last 4 coaching regimes), but isn't it funny how easy it is for other teams to get their #1 WR's in mismatches like that, and the Bills can never do that with Lee Evans?

There is no excuse to have Poz on Megatron. That has to be practiced and planned for during the week. (pssst. Lee Evans is not #1 WR. It's a myth he is double covered, but don't let 2BD see this, they will defend the myth to no end) Edited November 14, 2010 by Levitre + Wang = Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineMoxie Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Totally agree, especially since that wasn't the first time in that game that someone was wiiiiiide open in the middle of the Bills D. I didn't count, but I should have. I would guess it happened at least 5-6 times in the game, often at crucial points (like 3rd down). Edwards is ridiculous.

Sisyphean Bills Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Look on the bright side. It wasn't Chris Kelsay trying to cover Calvin Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It seemed like most of the game when we had them 3rd and long we would drop 8 and they would convert they should have kept pressuring them as it was working but that would make sense.

VADC Bills Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) I hesitate to post this on this the day of our first victory, but please, someone explain to me how he had Poz covering Calvin Johnson in that crucial situation?! No excuse for that. None. Get him out of here. He has been obviously outclassed and over his head all season. Not Edwards fault on that one. It was just poor coverage by the LB. Many teams have been successful sending their TE or RB's in the middle due to lack of coverage. This route had the WR going in the middle. Poz read it late and never looked for the ball. It pays to have a LB that can cover the pass and the run. I can't understand why Edwards can't get a pass rush by mixing up different types of blitzes. Bills are better off at this point with the 4-3 defense. I think they can mount more of a pass rush from it.

He is one of the most dangerous WRs in the NFL. During the week you practice, if for some reason we have a LB on #81 you call a timeout or audible, to get DB help. You never, ever, ever, ever have a LB 1 on 1 with Calvin Megatron Johnson, thats how you find ways to lose. It is absolutely the D-COs fault the defense wasn't prepared for this situation.

Fixxxer Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 We should have kept Fewell......................... (I guess we won't see a positive Fewell thread this week) The defense is improving, today I saw some interesting blitzes. I hate when we rush only 3 though, we make it real easy for the opposition. Next week will be a great test for Edwards and the defense, hopefully they keep getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 since we cannot generate a pass rush we have been blitzing more and more. When we blitz that leaves someone open. IMO it was a bad time to change to the 3-4, we didnt have 3 good LBs to man the 4-3 let alone 4 for the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The scheming here is not that complicated - make sure that Calvin Johnson doesn't get open with the game on the line. He might beat your double team and make the catch, and that's how great players will make great plays regardless of defense. When he's got a middle LB in single coverage, that's scheme.

You're hindsight is working well. To bad the game is not played in hindsight. The DB's were doing a good job on Johnson thats what was practiced. The Lions wanted to get the ball to their go to guy so they took it up the middle and spreaded the defense. If a mismatch was detected on formation why didn't the QB of the defense call a time out or recognize the coverage and make the necessary changes. The players have to execute..they didn't. If we followed your mindset the players are never accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is what you are getting at I'm not sure, but Lee Evans is no Calvin Johnson. Good number 1 receivers create their own mismatches and consistently beat double teams. Lee Evans is a ghost out there for the most part, however, I try to give him the benefit of the doubt due to the QB's he has had over the years.

Lee Evans is not OUR number 1 receiver. When Roscoe is playing he is not even our number 2 receiver. He can beat one on one coverage on the fly pattern some of the time. And not do much else. Fitzie always looks for Stevie J. when it is clutch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
