Thunderstealer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Kelvin Sheppard is the most obvious choice for this. He's so fast. DB's however don't have much experience at it McKelvin I can see letting go. Brady must be touched up for Buffalo to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLutieFLakesPLZnoOJ Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think Wanny want to prevent blitzing as much as possible...if there is pressure with just the front four there's really no reason to do it unless u want to surprise the opposing offense here and there..I agree Shepperd is perfect for blitzing and usually gets to close or sack the QB...the more guys in coverage the better, if Tommy sees a blitz and we don't get to him he will eat u alive.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Kind of a conundrum. Brady is excellent at picking apart blitz schemes but he also is human and will get rattled with pressure. I'm not sure how much the Bills will blitz but I expect them to stunt a lot more than they have in the first three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canks Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What are the odds they put Mallet in at some point? he's taller (can see over our line easier) he's got a quicker release ( so he can, theoretically, get the ball out quicker when under pressure) and most importantly he played in the SEC so he knows Dareus, Mario, Shephard, and Gilmore and how they play. He'll probably be able to read them better, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Kind of a conundrum. Brady is excellent at picking apart blitz schemes but he also is human and will get rattled with pressure. I'm not sure how much the Bills will blitz but I expect them to stunt a lot more than they have in the first three weeks. Funny how I'm watching the replay of the Baltimore vs NE game on NFL Network tonight and with 2 mins left, Baltimore blitzed on 2nd and 3rd down, forced punt and rattled Brady good. I think you have to have brass ones to blitz Brady...but it definitely is handy I also learned that taking a few passes down the field (20 + yards) will pay big dividends because the Pats CB's seemed to get some flags on deep routes ...maybe they will have a tough time with Graham??

gregkash Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Honestly, and this sounds crazy, but I really think that they've been holding back their blitz packages for this game. I think they feel they can get pressure with their front four guys, and for the most part (Jets game, blehk) they have. So if you're getting pressure with four, don't give bellichek anything to prepare for. I would be shocked if we only rush four against Brady since everyone knows the way to beat him is to knock him on his ass. And frankly, if we don't get pressure, I am not convinced that our corners can keep up vs Brady. edit: I feel I worded this wrong. I don't think they were like we're not blitzing until we play New England, I just think they've only blitzed when they've had to to give opposing coaches the least chance to prepare.

truth on hold Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I wonder if gilmore can be used on corner blitz. He has good size and excellent tackling technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB's however don't have much experience at it McKelvin I can see letting go. Brady must be touched up for Buffalo to have a chance. I have noticed the last two weeks, that because they blitz so rarely, the offenses are not as ready for it, so when they have blitzed, the blitzer gets in clean. I believe this front-four can create significant pressure without any help - particularly against what has become a really bad OL in New England. They have lost players in the off-season, and are missing more now due to injury. What we learned between the Jets and the last two games - you have to play the DBs a little tight to prevent the quick pass so that the DL has a chance to do anything.

AReed Deep For6 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think you raise a very strong possibility and I can only hope Wanny is practicing for just such a scenario. GO BILLS!!! Unless Brady gets hurt or NE* is winning by 50, why in the hell would you put in Mallet? The team is 1-2, its especially not time for them to get cute and bench their beloved QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so, that is if you consider downgrading the offense significantly "adding a dimension". You don't bench the greatest QB of the generation (ever?) to work in a lower tier backup head case. Ever. And if you're the opposition you sure as **** don't waste any film or practice time planning for it. I honestly can't believe I just had to type that.
