DC Tom Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 In honor of a great defensive performance... Here are play breakdowns of my 2 favorite blitzes by the Bills this week. Besides, everyone and their brother have talked about the game winning TD http://yardsperpass.com/ <--- view the whole blog http://yardsperpass.com/?p=310 <---- A really funky blitz that isn't a blitz on 3rd and 9 http://yardsperpass.com/?p=300 <---- Double ILB cross zone blitz Comments and questions always appreciated -Jon I vividly remember that first one...it's the first play I can recall in a long time that made me sit up and say "What the hell was that?" but wasn't utterly stupid.

boyst Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Good stuff. Funny how posting links to ones website doesn't seem like spam when the content is good and the poster is genuine. Sour grapes? Also, in this case it is not easy to link the photos here and do the same breakdown. He doesn't step on other people or plug his stuff ad nausea. Nor does he take credit for faux-news or the recycled stuff. He provides content, level headed, fair, and with quality that generates discussion. He then follows up with discussion here. Yeah, it would be cool if he could use TBD as his main source without pulling traffic but that's not how this site is set up and I am happy for that...

It's good content and much appreciated unlike some of the self promotional garbage that people try to pass off as a post. Certainly no sour grapes here as I have nothing worth promoting. My point was that good content won't be viewed as self promotional bs. The OP has separated himself from the damon talbots and pat morans of the world by providing worthwhile information. I hate that I even know who those two are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Stupid question: What is cover 0? Used a lot in goalline situations where the endzone acts as a safety or when you are bringing an all out blitz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is there a way to watch the game live with the all-22 camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I like when you identify when a blitz is not a breally a blitz. If you only rush four, but one or two of them are DBs, it's not really a blitz even though most announcers will call it a blitz. Another often mis-named play is an end-around (completely unrelated to this defensive discussion, but while I am on the subject of mis-named plays I thought I would bring it up). For some reason, people (even announcers who should know better) like to call it a reverse, even though nobody reversed, the end just came around.

jonramz Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks for the positive feedback guys... I really do appreciate it. Like I say it is a labor of love. I just really enjoy talking football. Also if there is ever a specific play that you would like me to take a closer look at, I'd be happy to... just shoot me an e-mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaimo25 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Great work! The pink circle of shame had me laughing out loud. To the point where my wife asked what was so funny, and as suspected she didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did. Keep it up! Always look forward to these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 And just like that, all of us now know more about pressure schemes than Dave Wannstedt. Great job Jon! BTW, I love that you use an old black and white of Sammy Baugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Just some more positive feedback for you so you keep doing this. I loved it, and I learned a lot. I never played football at any level (other than 7th grade flag football, where, to give myself credit, I was a scoring machine at running back). So despite the fact that I have been watching football ardently for 35 years, I know very little about the technical scheme design side of the game beyond the basics. This is especially true for defensive backfield schemes, because you don't see the full picture as often, and because the announcers usually do a pretty superficial job of explaining things - maybe with good reason - perhaps the average fan doesn't want to know too much. Anyway, I love learning more about something I've been watching for decades. I read your stuff with great pleasure, and very slowly so I can take it in. Looking forward to more. Thanks!

l< j Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I never played football at any level (other than 7th grade flag football, where, to give myself credit I was a scoring machine at running back). Dude, the Browns are on the phone. I agree with everything you said. I know next to nothing about football beyond the basics (the Dolphins are overrated, being a Jets fan is something you're supposed to outgrow, and the P*ts are cheaters). So these types if discussions are very educational for me. kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
