Morse - let's just pray he's healthy. Captain sitting on the sideline would not be a good look. Why Beasley? Did you see Dawkins on the sideline during PS game 4? I swear he got more of a workout than in a game. He was non-stop upbeat, running up and down the sideline, first guy there when there was a good play. The joy of the game and the desire to encourge folks just shone from his face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually an LB and usually the MLB. As such I think we will see a lot of Edmunds vs. Bell. I suspect Milano will have coverage responsibility as well at times. Maybe I'm confused with my terminology (it wouldn't be the first time), but I know that Bell would be someone's assignment (I would hope, and assume that would be Edmunds), but that differs somewhat from being a spy? I think of the way that Kiko was a spy on Josh last season, and there was no pre-snap adjustment there. If Bell is Edmunds' initial assignment, that assignment could shift to Milano, or whomever, depending on where Bell lines up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bell is Edmunds' initial assignment, that assignment could shift to Milano, or whomever, depending on where Bell lines up? Perhaps I should have put “spied” in quotations. Let’s just say that using that word to describe an LBs normal key is redundant. That differs from dedicating a spy to mirror a QB in that it is dedicating a resource normally used elsewhere. Not many QBs are targeted like that because not many QBs can hurt a defense like that. When Kiko was assigned to spy Allen, he was otherwise removed from another responsibility defensively. 3 minutes ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: To overlook game 1 is LOL ? funny Haha.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Crumbling their cookies: How the Buffalo Bills should attack the New York Jets Screen them to death on early downs The Bills’ screen game was abysmal last year. Lack of line mobility and a significant shift in offensive philosophy hamstrung that part of the offense. The additions of T.J. Yeldon, Cole Beasley, and a metric ton of offensive linemen will help you break that negative tendency quickly. Being in second down with a reasonable distance to go is an important part of keeping the playbook open (allowing for the shot play calls I mentioned above) and screen passes on first down can give you a low-risk option to pick up the necessary yardage. Cole Beasley was built for this type of play, but if Allen notes a corner playing 15 yards off John Brown, throwing a quick screen to him may net more yards than pounding the rock into the teeth of a very stout Jets defensive interior.

When every talking head treats you like you're already #2 in the division, it's easy to buy into it and look past this game. After all, it's just the Bills.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 ESPN NFL Week 1 upset picks: How the Bills beat the Jets For our first Upset Watch of the year, we'll go to the AFC East. The line has these two teams as even on a neutral field, but there are some reasons to believe that Buffalo can pull out a season-opening victory on the road. Upset Watch: New York Jets (-3) vs. Buffalo Bills These teams split their two games in 2018, but each team won in a very different way. In Week 10, the Bills demolished the Jets 41-10 at MetLife Stadium. I would love to be able to tell you what Josh Allen did against the Jets in this game, but he didn't play. That game was the mysterious "greatest start of Matt Barkley's career," where the Bills signed a longtime veteran off the street and got 232 passing yards with two touchdowns out of him with no picks and only one sack. On the other side, it was Josh McCown -- not Sam Darnold -- throwing two picks with only 135 passing yards. ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mocking ESPN. the media, especially espn hasn't been too high on buffalo. as the game drew closer they started leaning toward buffalo. I guess their view of an upset is buffalo is also with a 2nd year QB with questions on offense who only finished 6-10, 2 games above the jets and also had split with them so maybe the upset comes from homefield and they may feel darnold is the better QB? either way, it wouldn't be an upset to me but rather a very nice surprise.

It’s just not the same thing as allocating a dedicated resource to check the opposing QB (spy). And given McD’s tendencies, I suspect we will see a lot of zone coverages with matchups underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
