Troll Toll Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 This shouldn’t be a surprise, there was an article a few weeks ago that said they keep Tre on the same side of the field. I do tend to agree with you though, why let the offense dictate the matchups? I assume it allows our defense to communicate better, play faster, and not be out of position on the snap. I would think the trade-off wouldn’t be worth it if Fuller is out and Hopkins abuses Wallace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 None of what was said matters at this point. I dont expect nor want public game plan honesty plus adjustments get made during the game so how things start out dont mean everything either.

No way Tre is exposing the game plan in this locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason for him to cover anyone else I think he will be covering Hopkins at least 90% of the time, if not more. Yeah I wouldn't read too much into it. If for some odd reason he isn't covering Hopkins for a majority of the game, then yeah I agree that would be pretty silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason for him to cover anyone else It's not a secret that the Bills play zone most of the time, although at times they Man Up to put more pressure on the QB and play the run. Tre' has no reason to divulge the Bills defensive plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Tre could say that they are going to put Milano on Hopkins and it wouldn’t make an iota of difference at this point. No player is going to fully divulge a game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 What's stupid is to criticize arguably the best DB defensive coaching team in the league before they even play the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the trade-off wouldn’t be worth it if Fuller is out and Hopkins abuses Wallace. I prefer the Shadow version when there is one receiver way better than the others, but Sherman in Seattle also did half the field and it allowed the rest of the defense to play predictably and consistently and not let the opposing OC manipulate with formation and motion. I love Tre, but I love our secondary as a whole and think we are more than a shutdown corner. But also what has been stated or implied and what will happen should not be related. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The biggest news here, IMO, is that White says "Kevin" will be on the other side. That right there tells you they're not expecting Wallace to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in certain circumstances Tre White shadows the best receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I would expect a safety to be helping out if Tre is nkt on Hopkins. Johnson and Hyde can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is a ruse. Tre did the same thing against the Pats and Edelman feasted on them whenever Tre wasn't in coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
