No coach gets more out of less than Sean McDermott.

 

Firing up the #Bills #Vikings film to figure out....HOW??

 

Kelvin Benjamin must get better at making contested catches. Xavier Rhodes defeated him twice early on (first one Allen misplaced the ball a bit, but a big "No. 1" WR still should have won).

 

The more I study Kelvin Benjamin the more I see a No. 2 WR. He's not quick/fast and doesn't always play big. Also unrefined in his mechanics.

 

Croom 26-yd TD was a version of the Kareem Hunt play from last year (4 receivers to a side, attack Cover 3).  Josh Allen did a nice job manipulating zone defenders. A very defined read and he looked comfortable.

 

#Vikings underneath defenders, including LBs Barr and Kendricks, had a nightmarish start to #Bills game.

 

 

 

#Bills Film: WR Robert Foster has some speed, especially when he can get into his route cleanly.

 

Josh Allen's arm strength forces a defenses to defend the entire width of the field.

 

#Bills #Vikings Film: Harrison Smith sack-fumble either an offensive mistake or horrible design. Only 2 routes downfield, no checkdown or intermediate routes. Allen must take better care of the ball.

Thanks 26, these are great!  One of the most amazing things about him is how quick his motion is.  That second to last video (RPO pass to Holmes) shows how quickly he can get it out, flick of the wrist on point for 20 yds.  A good receiver can keep their feet in bounds and make that catch.  Really impressed by this kid after 2 1/2 games in his rookie season.

If Holmes catches it clean it's a TD. He bobbles it and doesn't gain possession until outside the endzone. 

Really underrrated play by Allen getting 10 yards on 3rd and 20 to get in FG range. Very nice decision and ball. 

because he bobbled it, he was never touch after he caught it and it should've been reviewed and changed to a TD.

They still call those down for some reason. The Viking player touched him while he was down, but before he secured it as you said. It's dumb but that is how they call it. He shouldn't have bobbled it, that was my point. It was right in his gut.

I LOVE seeing this stuff. Biggest thing I took away is that, for as well as Allen played, there were a lot of plays where he had a better option for a bigger gain, and he missed it. Very encouraging to see that, after a fantastic performance, he still has a ton of room to grow!

While I hate this did not connect DC’s have to take deep threats seriously.  The threat is worth as much as the reality.

It would do wonders for the short to intermediate passing game and open up the run game if they hit on a few of those, but point well taken.

Buffalo Bills film room: Josh Allen nails the post-wheel concept

 

The Buffalo Bills blew out the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but as they took an early lead, any confidence felt tenuous at best. An opening touchdown drive was impressive, but aided by two personal foul penalties, and a fumble recovery only led to three points. When the Bills recovered a second strip-sack, it felt like the only way they could keep the Vikings at bay would be to capitalize on the possession with another touchdown. And that’s just what Brian Daboll and Josh Allendelivered, with a pass to tight end Jason Croom.
 
Before running this play, the Bills had passed once to a running back in the flats, and had a receiver in the flats on three of their first five passing plays. As such, the Vikings were looking for that sort of movement, especially when the Bills fell behind schedule and would conceivably look to gain easy yardage on second-and-11. Minnesota, seeing Buffalo’s pre-snap motion, dialed up a Cover-3 “sky” look.

Let's see that all-22 drop that hit Foster in the hands so sky diver can keep saying he didn't have a chance at catching it.

 

He didn't actually say that, did he?  Bahahahahaha!

 

Look, I love Foster's ability to get deep and have hope for him.  But he flat-out dropped that perfect pass and it's not even arguable.

How can you drop what you never had? The ball went through his hands.

 

 

He also said the ball never hit his hands so it wasn't a drop but I watch the replay and I'm pretty sure it hit his left hand, then his right before falling to the ground.

Foster didn't fully extend his arms for the catch even. He definitely should have caught that.

phantom holding

I agree! I actually think Bodine simply tripped or lunges forward and the defender fell down. Holding on running plays has become the go to penalty in the new NFL. It’s almost always a horrible call! In this case it had ZERO to do with the actual results of the play.

Through the first two weeks fans have had mixed reviews of Daboll’s handling of his young QB, but when the team needed to start fast on the road against the Vikings on Sunday, his offensive unit held up their end of the bargain. Daboll appeared to lean on the mantra of not putting too much pressure on Allen.

 

Before Sunday, Allen had struggled in his first six quarters of play, averaging 3.36 seconds from snap to attempt, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). The staff needed to create plays to make reads quicker for Allen so that he’d have more success getting the ball out against one of the best pressure defenses in the league.

 

One way they did that was to dial up several screens, including this RPO (Run-Pass Option) WR screen to Ray-Ray McCloud. The play call is of the pre-snap variety, in which Allen simply counts the box and if it is stacked, he wings it out to McCloud. It works perfectly as the field safety drives hard on the “Iso” run and McCloud is able to steal six yards.

In some respects, at least for me, the best thing about the Croom TD, was how well Allen 'sold' it.

 

Lots of other QBs around the league disguise stuff pretty well, yet we haven't seemed to have someone who did it very well for ages.

 

Fitz was probably the best in that respect, but none of the likes of Losman, Holcomb, Edwards, EJ etc, were very good at it, at all.

 

Great play design by Daboll also, and well set up by earlier plays.

This is such an awesome awesome thread with all these breakdowns concentrated in one place.

 

Thanks 26CB!!!

 

 

I'm still thinking we make a lot of noise and win a lot of games this year, but damn I'm looking forward to the next couple years when we get all that CAP space and upgrade to weapons for Allen who can actually catch the ball   :doh:
