Its more he is mobile and can extend plays. He is seriously not a dude to worry about though in any respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's too fast for any of our dbs. I am sorta expecting a Tyreek wildcat package. With how limited they are they need something new. And if you took Skylar off the field and were able to get Tyreek the green dot some interesting things could happen. Get him lined up quick, look at the defense and tell him the play before 15 seconds. 4 hours ago, nucci said: these people need to get with the times...it's not the '70s Agree. That tweet is a classic example of correlation doesnt equal causation. Teams with the lead run the ball to shorten the game. Teams behind throw to extend. That does not mean they got their lead cause of their running effectiveness. 1 hour ago, mjt328 said: That is conventional wisdom. Run the ball. Control the clock. Keep Josh Allen off the field. Hope your defense creates turnovers and limits points. I'm going the complete opposite direction. The Bills have only had two games under 20 points this season (17 and 19 points). That is the absolute floor for this offense. So even if their defense plays lights out, I'm not sure a Skyler Thompson-led team can put together enough long methodical drives to put up 20 points. My gameplan would be tons of trick plays, and taking at least one deep shot every drive. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, you might get lucky and get a couple big plays. I'm taking the chance they can get 2-3 bombs for touchdowns, over the same number of 8-9 play drives. I really dont want any trick plays this game for several reasons. As you say they need to hope the defense creates turnovers. Why give them plays that are more risky for turnovers. if we run boring conservative offense (ball out quick and run plays), we might not boat race them but we do take away their best chance for them to beat us. Deep shots have Josh standing in the pocket against hte strength of their team. Also why give away the trick plays this week. Save them for a better team. **I misread mjt post. These are my thoughts for what Bills O might do so will leave up. I agree with mjt that Fins need to run trick plays to stay in it.

Beck Water Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 20 minutes ago, NewEra said: You don’t think he should be terrified of Hill and Waddle? Those are the guys he needs to be terrified of. Mostert is likely out and Wilson, while fast, isn’t Mostert fast (or strong) and has fumbling issues. i would definitely keep the cheetahs in front of us while trying to figure out their run game. If we can’t stop the run, make adjustments. It’s not just mcdermotts way…..it’s the smart way. This. I have no idea how much of an arm Skyler Thompson has, but it has to remembered that in KC, 1/3 of Hill's yards came after the catch. That's been less of his game this season, more like 1/4, but it's still part of what makes him a dangerous WR: the ability to turn a 5 yd dump off into 25 any time now.

Sorta why I think they run a Hill wildcat package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
