billrooter Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 You guys will have to excuse me I have been working in Japan the last five and a half weeks and have not watched a game. Hopefully they are taping on the sunday ticket like I set them up to do but not sure with that revolving channel. I have only read the box scores up to this point and seen we had seven sacks, that is great hope it continues! Did the sacks look legit, when you get that many in a singlegame I would hope so? I was also wondering Devante Parker had a huge game, and noticed both Kevin Johnson and Levi had 4 tackles apiece, did Levi and Kevin split time? Who got torched by him today for the most part? Thanks guys and seems like a damn good game, Let's Go Buffalo!!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys and seems like a damn good game, Let's Go Buffalo!!! stats were misleading re DaVante Parker. He had a good game, and got two big chunk plays. But most of his catches were ones where Tre seemed to just be giving him a cushion (maybe because of how much they were blitzing). Kevin Johnson looked terrific. the big difference was the aggression by the front 7– tons of blitzing and really flying to the ball on run D. It was amazing!

Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 You see when leslie Frazer dials up blitzes it works let that secondary you have prove how good it is and sell out to stop the run and blitz more. Put fear in quarterbacks and make them nervous about buffalo front seven are they coming. Good game by frazer today.

Phil The Thrill Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 They blitzed a lot more this week than have al season long. Edmunds on a blitz has been pretty lethal. If he didn’t get pressure it allowed one of the other defenders a chance to penetrate. I’m hoping this is something they consider next week gains Denver and in Dallas. Can those QB’s beat the blitz? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Good turnover on downs but no forced turnovers(fumble was unforced error). A couple of near interceptions. Keep bringing the heat and the turnovers will come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: why don’t you download the Sunday ticket app? You can watch the games streamed or after the fact on there. Great to hear about the more aggressive play calling on both sides of the ball, was hoping the speech from earlier in the week was not just coach speak! Hopefully it is a sign of things to come, being agressive and attacking is the style of D that should be played with what should be all the defensive mismatches (speedy and athletic) guys they have. I am pretty pumped to get back and watch the recordings (boy I hope they taped). I tried setting all that up right before I left on my firestick as I was having difficulties and made the call to directv and the Rep told me streaming wasn't avaialble in other countries though Canada and Mexico were possibillities. The games start at 2am Monday morning here so was going to try an watch the recordings after the fact but I couldln't access them, though I am not the most tech savvy guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not going to work though against the patriots, where Brady’s rating against the blitz is like 157.0. Not sure about the ravens and Lamar— something tells me blitzing Lamar will cause him to break contain and run wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were definitely disruptive today! Not so much the four man rush, which was about the same as all year. What was different was the commitment to blizing (and faking the blitz) of the LBs. That's the most they've done that this year as they obviously had no respect for the Fin's O-line and running game and dared Fitz to beat them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Purely conjecture, but I have a hard time believing the increased stunts and blitzes were not a directive coordinated by McDermott. Just not sure it's in Frazier's DNA regardless of the obvious need to creatively attack the LOS. With the Bills front four lacking difference makers, THIS is what you have to do if you're going to create pressure and make the opposing QB uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Check out the 2019 sack stats after 10 games: 11.5 from 5 different DT's 8.5 from 4 different DE's 5 from 3 difference LB's 4 from 4 different DB's I don't have any of the pressure or hurry stats with me, but it's interesting how little our DE's actually contribute to the total sack number (8.5 of 29). I wonder how this compares to other 4-3 defenses? Also, only Jordan Phillips stands out with 7 sacks. Otherwise, it's been a true team effort with 15 other players contributing to 22 sacks. Make use of this info as you so please. My interpretation remains that this defense needs an All-Pro pass-rushing DE to be the truly elite defense we hoped we had earlier in the season (one that doesn't allow the Browns to march down the field for a game-winning TD drive, for example. Or one that can generate more than 0.6 interceptions a game, as another). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Bills front four lacking difference makers, THIS is what you have to do if you're going to create pressure and make the opposing QB uncomfortable. It was very effective. The passing yards against will suffer though, as all receivers have single coverage when you bring the house. If the Bills decide to make the blitz more prevalent down the stretch, it will be reflected in yards against when we don’t get the sack. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
