83 yard run. Sean McDermott made an interesting comment.

Just had to get this off my chest because I’m just now listening to some postgame comments.

 

McDermott said they were misaligned on the big 83 yard run.

 

McDermott is never shy about using timeouts, we all know this. It’s kind of a running joke around here. But when he sees his defense outmatched due to alignment he doesn’t call timeout?

 

This is the type of coaching that loses games. 😡

You want him to call a defensive timeout every time he sees something he doesn't like?

When the defense is in the wrong alignment, yes. Shouldn’t happen often. Look at it, it’s so bad. Easiest run of Breece Halls career.

I’d guess that he didn’t realize it until it was too late. Beyond that I have no idea how much is on the players  versus him. I’d think more on the players unless they were coached to line up incorrectly (which is not likely). 

 

My guess is that this one falls on Bernard, who possibly didn't recognize the overload and didn't get them to slide up front.

And who also buried himself inside where Rousseau was being buried by a double and left Tre White isolated outside with contain responsibility.

I saw it and am aware of what happened. 

I also know that if he called a timeout every time something like that happened, he'd be out of them in about a quarter.

Why don’t we break 83 yard runs against other teams?  Do they get out of alignment too?

Of course they do occasionally; if you're runplay is called to the specific gap that is poorly covered and oth your LB and S misplay it also, then we could end up wiht an 83 yrd run.

real question. Is this a Zack Wilson audible. Or is this a play call the jets had because this out of alignment was something they had seen from the Bills before?

Don't recall any audibling out of Wilson.

I'd guess it was something the Jets run frequently, thought it gave them an advantage against an undersized Bills Front 7 and happened to call it up at the exact right time.

This. 

These are the growing pains of a second year middle linebacker making his first NFL start after missing all of preseason.

This may seem like pouring salt into already gaping wounds, but...I have a feeling that if Aaron Rodgers had been healthy all game, the Bills defense might have had a loooong night.

Maybe. Or maybe Hackett doesnt downshift into the running game and keeps Rodgers passing and we keep getting to him and force another turn over or two on our own.

That's the way I see it too.  Milano was actually the MLB on that play in a clinically traditional 4-3 alignment.  

 

I'd question why on 1st-and-10 they were so concerned about a run UTM.  

 

The other puzzling thing is that the DL converges on the middle, again, on 1st-and-10, not 3rd-and-1 or 2.  

 

Bernard, who's lined up in the SLB spot, makes a beeline for the Center of the OL.  Why?  That's beyond well-covered.  

 

Where there's no presence, besides as you mentioned, namely White, a CB, is on the edge, where Hall makes his break between White, who whiffs entirely, and that edge, and gone.  And if it was White that was supposed to set that edge, well, then he simply whiffed.  

 

McD's comment may be a way of deflecting criticism of his choice for starting LB this season, whether it be SLB or MLB regardless.
