Beef Jerky Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 http://www.cover1.net/20161212015-bills-defensive-study-defensive-line/ Interesting thing is Mario dropped into coverage in Schwartz's scheme also. Losing Kyle was a huge hit. So the Bills surrendered 13% of their passing yards when the defensive lineman below dropped into coverage. Advanced statistics like that are analyzed by the team in the off-season. That just gives you an idea of how small of a percentage those play-calls were. The big drop was obviously in sacks. The defensive line didn’t get sacks. Injuries, scheme and lack of execution all played a hand in the decline. This scheme has produced sacks in year past, but in 2015 the Bills opponents used quick passing to defeat the scheme. For example, in the first meeting between the Bills and Pats, Brady got rid of the ball in 1.96 seconds. The Bills played their merged defense in the first meeting, and by using four defensive lineman, it made it difficult to disguise coverage. In the first half of the second game Brady got rid of the ball in 2.89 seconds. By that time Rex was in the midst of his transition. He used a lot more 3-3-5 and 3-2-6 defenses which allowed him to disguise easier. This article is very long so take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Great Read. This also shows the Bills do need to start thinking about life after Kyle Williams. Looks like D- line may be the focus of the draft for the next couple of years. Kyle is a great player but he is not getting younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
