Rigotz Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Taron Johnson is our slot corner and he's very good. He left the game early with a hamstring injury so we had a backup out there. Jets attacked him. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 They were giving them that play all day on purpose. He had 14 catches for less than 100 yards. Darnold ypa was 4.3. McD has gone against gase enough times to know this. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nothing against crowder who I think is pretty good at his job. But the game plan was not to stop the short stuff to crowder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerovoltz Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It was on purpose...other reponses above saw it...you give Gase the short no impact stuff and he'll take that bait everytime. Correct game plan by the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are always going to allow a guy to make some underneath catches given their stress on preventing big plays to the wideouts. Yep. It is amazing to me that people can watch this team every week... we are now in year 3 of McDermott.... and not know what the core principles of the defense are. Did Crowder probably get a few more catches because they spent half the game with Siran Neal at nickel? Yes. But the way the Bills play defense means you can see slot receivers with volume against them. The key is that if the Bills rally and tackle well then those yards don't hurt them. The all22 isn't out yet but from the broadcast angle it looked to me like the game plan was to take Robby Anderson away. Whichever corner he went up against seemed to have safety help over the top shading to his side. Even Tre White, who the Bills are normally happy to leave in 1v1 a lot seemed to have help when he was against Anderson (again from what one could see from the tv angle, I reserve the right to change my mind later). Anderson - 3 receptions for 23 yards. If the ball kept going to Crowder for short gains over the middle it was a sign that the Bills gameplan was working. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wait until the game plan this week, it is going to look a lot like the Defense on Sunday. Focus on Barkley and not let anything over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct game plan by the Bills. Micah Hyde talked about it on WGR today. Said giving them the underneath stuff was part of the plan as long as it didn't move the chains. 3rd and 8? Five yard toss to Crowder and drop him. Jets punt. Patriots did it all night to Steelers it got to be ridiculous. Micah is a good interview by the way, gonna be on 550 AM every Monday around 4pm. Between Micah and Sal the show is somewhat listenable again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 This defense is designed to keep everything in front of them, no big chunk plays. Crowder's tally may seem abundant but was relatively harmless outside of a couple 1st downs. Bell was the real offensive threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 They played zone most of the game. Crowder was catching 3 yard passes. There were two third down plays where I thought the defender was out of position at the snap. Way too much of a cushion on a 3rd and around 5 yards. Soft short zone is fine on first and second down but when it is third and intermediate distance they need to play a little tighter coverage. But to the Bills credit they made the tackles and limited the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
