Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 So my children.... At present, your Buffalo Bills linebacking corps for the Seattle Seasnakes game is: Tremaine Edmunds AJ Klein Tyler Matakevich Andre Smith I believe Del'Shawn Phillips is eligible to come off IR this week, but I haven't seen anything about him being activated to come off IR or practicing?. Dodson is NOT eligible to come off IR. On the PS, we have Darron Lee and Deon Lacey And that's it. Snap counts vs. NE (2nd % is defensive snaps, third % is ST) Snap counts vs Jets Snap counts vs KC The Cavalry is not coming over the hill. Methinks we're going to see a heavy diet of AJ Klein and Tremaine Edmunds this week, and 'twill not be pretty. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I really hope this is a week 1-4 type game for the offense. I don't think we have much of a chance to slow down the Seahawks. Maybe need high 30s to get this one. BUT...our offense CAN do that. I am excited to see what the O game plan is on Sunday. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is can we hang onto the ball, on offense and special teams - and ideally take it away on defense. The Seasnakes MO is to give up a shitton of yards - more than they achieve on offense actually - but they thrive on exploiting takeaways 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives him a chance to earn a job if he plays well. I doubt you're throwing him to the wolves with like 3 practices, but kleins been bad, and the teams gotta be pretty desperate. Smith and Matakevich are STs, and with milano out you can promote him to active. Edited November 6, 2020 by dneveu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Not a surprise. Linebacker was ridiculously thin in the offseason and nothing was done about it. And the Bills have paid a cornerback too, last year they only kept 4 on the opening day roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Tremaine Edmunds hurts the entire team, because now instead of building offense around Allen, the FO has to use draft resources to find a MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If we are down by 2 TD’s at any point in this game just go for it on every 4th down. I would also go for it on a lot of 2 point conversions as well. We know our defense cannot stop this offense, we need to play maximum aggressiveness on offense to have a chance.

msw2112 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Before the season, I said that the lack of LB depth was the Bills' biggest concern. Sometimes (but rarely), I don't like to be right. We clearly have to go with the shootout strategy and see if we can outscore them. 47-45 anyone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the defense, this team needs to be built like Payton Manning’s Colt defenses with the exception of the small penetrating DT’s. Replace them with 330 lb people movers and find 2 speed rushers at DE. Score more points than the other team and force them to pass the football then tee off on them with the pass rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 It’s not as bad as some believe. I’ve said in a different post Klein has played badly but he’s also not played anywhere near his capabilities. His job is what we hate on from Edmunds in the run game. Klein needs to be around the line of scrimmage not back in coverage. Of course he needs to make the tackles he’s missed but the guy plays quite well as a blitzer and against the run game. The whole key similar to Kansas City is can you keep the receivers in front of you? Seattle is just as deadly in the deep pass game. Keep the receivers in front, pray to whatever god you believe in we stop the run, and hopefully spy Wilson a little especially on third down. And for my own personal preferences can we get a little more Siran Neal this game? We lack speed on defense and I’d like him to spy on Wilson and be the third down blitzer if Wilson doesn’t take off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are coming dangerously close to questioning Beane and McD on this...unfortunately, you are close to spot on and many of us agree with this as it played out in real time during the offseason.

GoBills808 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Defense won't be the issue on Sunday imo. Nobody's been able to stop Seattle. Whether we can keep up with them on offense will determine the game. Their defense is worse than ours. If we can't move the ball and score points there are serious problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Probably gonna be lots of Dime anyway, but 5 1 5 works for a nickel. Also Darron Lee is def getting one of the 2 PS call ups this week. They have not been shy about using those guys in games. I suspect we see a lot of Darron Lee this week considering its more pass happy Hawks team (even though they can still run the ball). Being variable could be a sneaky advantage in this game if we dont shoot ourselves in the foot with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE is their guy, I am not sure they will see straight on this issue. His 5th year option will be picked up, even though undeserved. Still, they dumped Watkins, so who knows. 45 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: How fast can Derron Lee get up to speed? He is a coverage LB, and could play in Milano;s slot imho. (former mlb) Milano should have been held out prior weeks imho, and allowed to heal. It took Felliciano 11 weeks to heal. We need Milano healthy for the playoffs, and I think he will be out another month at least. Maybe come back after the bye.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
