This Bills Defense is even more impressive then you think

Sorry having trouble with Brian Congelios X link so here’s the info

 

Here is a look at each defensive unit's blitz % compared to sack %.

The #BillsMafia are scary, with the lowest 'Blitz %' in the league, but the highest 'Sack %'


The #Giants blitz the most in the #NFL, but have the 2nd lowest 'Sack %'

 

And what are the #Bears doing?!

 

Yeh what the heck are the Bears doing?

I’m telling you the Bears are just sitting back and watching their opponents do things to them.  I’ve never seen a more passive defense in my life.

The Edmunds effect. I’ve never been happier to see him leave. Watching Bernard has been a blessing to see what real LBs are supposed to play like.

Blitzing the least but sacking the QB the most? 

This is McDermott's ultimate football aspiration come to life. It is THE defining characteristic of what McDermott wants to do on defense. He finally has the defensive line to do it. 

AND VON MILLER IS COMING BACK.

Look out opposing offenses.

The thing I like the most about the past two weeks is that the Bills are dominating in the trenches. If you want to know who's likely going to win a football game after watching only the first few drives, just look at the battle in the trenches. The team winning that usually wins the game. The last two weeks, the Bills won both battles handily. If that continues, it'll be a great season.

The graph is a little weird given that the Giants blitzed Purdy on 86 percent of his dropbacks on Thursday.

Why it shows Giants are the biggest blitzing team in the league. 
 

granted three games in could be skewed a bit by an 86% blitz night

Yeah, that's my point. Martindale had a unique plan for the Niners' offense and I give him props for trying something different. It worked OK until it didn't; the Niners are just good.

While I do think this is pretty reflective of how the Bills play, I do think Howell may fudge the numbers a bit he does hang on to the ball a long time and get sacked a lot.

 

Raiders only running 39 plays kind of helped lower the numbers tho as well...

Great data but let keep in mind the small data set and who we have faced.

 

1) Zach Wilson, enough said

2) Derek Carr---ehh

3) Sam Howell-- young highly inexperienced havings his nightmare game epically skewing the stats.

Those may account for the production part of it. Won’t account for the ultra low blitz percentage. 
 

we will see Sunday. Out DL should dominate the OL of MIA based on what I have seen. 
 

take that first read away and you can get to Tua too.

And we don't even have Von back.

 

Groot and Oliver in the middle.

Miller and Floyd on the edge.  

 

That is as dangerous a 3rd down pass rush as you will get in the NFL.  

This is the setup I play Sunday as well. Swap out Miller for Epenesa 

 

I think Groots length in the middle will be needed to cut lanes from Tua quick release to the middle.

No doubt.  9 in one game….. this % will change drastically as the games mount.  Nothing against our pass rush…..it’s one of the best DL’s in the league, but we won’t maintain this pace.  I’d be happy with 9 sacks over the next 3 games combined.

I am happy with the D. But we cant ignore 9 of our 12 sacks came in the last game. That skews the numbers quite a bit. Not to mention 4 of the 9 came when the game was 30-0. But like I said I think the D is looking solid. Lets see how this goes next week. 

They had none vs the Raiders but don't let that fool you -- the d-line had good pressure all game vs Vegas and played well.
