Cover 1 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nice job on that and the site, Erik. Really good stuff. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Is the suggestion that Woods did something different by adjusting his route to make the ILB adjust ("attacked..."), or that the play as designed did that? I really know next to nothing about this game. But I'm curious how much latitude the receiver has there and, if he is adjusting or doing some freelancing, what he would see that would make him do that? Edit: rewatched it, and it is clear you are saying he changed his route. Did he do it to get open, and the by product got Shady open? Or was his intent to get Shady clear of the LB? kj Edited August 23, 2016 by l< j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 McCoy should catch 6 screens a game minimum Screens and downfield passes. Shady can run routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 McCoy should catch 6 screens a game minimum Or, at least enough to draw everyone up and open up some down field stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 IMO, he was a really odd whipping boy. Buffalo is one of the only places in the world that embraces underdogs but trashes superstars. It is an odd dynamic. Usually if you love Matthew Dellevadova you love LeBron too. In Buffalo, we love Scott Chandler but McCoy is overpaid. A combination of analytics articles predicting he would fall over the hill because he was 27 and that is "old" for a RB in today's game and people liking what they can relate to. The Chandler's, Kyles and FredEx's are underdogs and many people in Buffalo relate to that due to the uninformed disdain the city gets. But as with most sports, superstars rule. If Shady is healthy, the peanut gallery will be silent for the most part. He is an elite talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Its just really good to see Tyrod attacking the red zone......we get to that point so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The diapers are coming off Tyrod! I have a grandson who's 2.5. It's not regular duty, but that diaper/no diaper session is NOW. I went about a quarter century with no diaper changes so the first few took some adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed Bills Blue Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 In Buffalo, we love Scott Chandler but McCoy is overpaid. Until he embraces shoveling some snow, Shady will never win the hearts of Buffalo fans. Anyway, that is a GREAT site. Amazing (and a little sad) that it takes me watching a play several times to fully "get" all that's going on. Impressive that Tyrod sees and reacts to it all in real time, under pressure. I'm beginning to have some genuine hope that we finally have a solid marriage of good offensive design and execution. Now, just gotta stay healthy and show consistency!

l< j Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks! Be sure to check back often. Not allowed to post links to start discussions. Woods extended the route and attacked the ILB to give Taylor a window to throw to shady So by extending the route did he make himself less likely as a target? To make Shady more open? This is entirely new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 That's exactly what Woods did in recognizing the shift, Shady getting open and moved to the right spot so Shady could catch it. Very smart on RW's part. This offense could be fun. I know McCoy didn't get any yards, but not worried about the run game. If anything, we were #1 in the run, but only 28th in the pass last year. The preseason is a great chance to work on these plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Because when Scott Chandler has a disappointing year, at least he doesn't act like an ass. So far the only evidence of Shady acting "like an ass" is that he wasn't charged or disciplined in any way for an incident in which he may have been coming to the defense of a friend who was being attacked by off-duty cops who were most certainly acting like asses. But otherwise, good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
