Antonio Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So, according to Next Gen Stats, Mariota was very effective vs the Blitz. What´s our game plan? I guess it will be similar to Brady´s, try your best to creat preassure with 4 but try to disguise who is coming and who is droping. Flood the short area, as must of his passes are within 5 to 10 yards pass the line. Also, be very aware of the screen game, he had 6 passes behind the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also more concer about our offense against their defense, but I think we need to keep them under 14 points to have win, therefore I think we must have an excelent game plan.

K-9 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 We are not a blitzing team. We play coverage and try to disguise and confuse while doing so. I doubt McFrazier will deviate from that formula very much other than a few wrinkles here and there. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Make Mariota play QB. Stop Henry, don't let Mariota run. Force Mariota to operate in the pocket and find open guys. Profit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) considering we dont blitz, I dont think this is an issue.... are we really worried about how we stop Mariotta? lol Also, Mariotta doesnt really run, and when he does go outside the pocket he hasnt been very effective. Its a myth that hes a running QB (according to Titans board) Edited October 2, 2019 by PaattMaann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thanks, I could not find the info about our blitzing %. I just figured we don´t that much, we relly on pressure with our front 4 and send an occasional blitzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I mention, I think we need a near perfect game plan on D to hold them under 14 so our Offense dosen´t need to take big risk to win the game.

LeGOATski Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It's always better if they can get pressure with 4. For the defense, contain Henry and stay disciplined in the backfield. Planning for the Titans offense will be similar to planning for the Jets offense. Make Mariota beat you with his arm. He'll need to have a career day to win. Don't overlook Dion Lewis. Edmunds and Milano should be able to handle him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D also has to respect his running. Do we keep a spy on him? Tom Brady also hadn't thrown an interception this season...until he played the Bills. To me, you play Mariota exactly how other teams play Allen: Keep him in the pocket, force him to be a QB. Eliminate his running ability and improvisatory ability. Blitz only sparingly. Above all else, keep contain on the edges and hope the interior defensive line can bring pressure up the middle to make him uncomfortable. I expect something like a 16-13 football game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Play coverage and keep him in the pocket. Get pressure up the middle with Oliver. I think he controls the game up the middle and the guards will be overmatched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I fully expect out D to dominate them. We need our O to play with confidence, Motor being back will be a huge lift. Constantly having tight ends and fresh backs in the game and mixing up run/pass should sustain a few drives and let us get to 24 points (i also expect a couple short fields from actually winning the turnover battle for once!). We seem to be good w the scripted drives, so getting off to a 10 or so point lead taking their biggest weapon (running) off the table early should make for a W. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) stop the run, defend the pass. Maybe I just don't pay too close attention .... Thus far how often has Buffalo blitzed their opponents? 25%, more, much more, less? EDIT - From Benoit’s perspective, the Bills are successful when they blitz. “They don’t blitz a lot in Buffalo, they didn’t blitz a lot in Carolina when McDermott was running that defense,” Benoit explained. “When they do blitz it is highly efficient and highly effective. Just watching the film when they blitz, far more often than not, they get some kind of benefit out of that.” https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-today-buffalo-is-ready-to-bounce-back-in-nashville Edited October 2, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to prepare well for their scripted drive. We can´t afford a Gigants-like start of the game for our D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yep. Mariota is a guy you don't blitz. You flood zones and make him make effective decisions. That is his weakness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I like the Bills D going against Mariota. The Bills can get pressure just by rushing 4 and the Bills LB's are fast enough that Mariota wont run away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Considering the Bills hardly ever blitz, not sure why that Mariota tidbit is even mentioned by the OP, but I’d say they do what they normally do and dominate.

But we seem to disguice who is coming and who is dropping very well and either Edmunds and Milano are very good in coverage so it is easy to know witch one plays the mike on any given play. Sometimes they send Edmunds and Milano manages the middle pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best plays the Bills have had against run or pass had been Blitzes, maybe because they don´t expected, but you have to check Poyer coming down the line and making plays behind the line, or Minano coming free against Brady (no call for grounding) but was a nice 3rd down stop by our D when blitzing Brady (one of the best agaisnt the blitz). Having said that, I rather discuss this than keep crying about last week lost or officiating or so on... not saying you are, but just discuss something different for a change.
