Whoa.

 

See also, btw, on GD touchdown: Kinkaid accidentally dumps Cook, ass-over-teakettle, as they cross routes.

 

Gotta clean that up boys.


Yeah, that was Murray and apparently all his friends sent him clips of it to rub it in.

LBs are not going to be looking outside at Stefon Diggs at the snap.

And having a corner yell something at them is not going to work.

Exactly what I was going to say. From television view it’s easy to spot. But when you’re on the field you can’t process that side of the field and keep your assignment. Not to mention with a super loud stadium.

I've seen this too. I can always tell when it's a run away from him.   The one thing about Diggs game I'm not a fan of

And it’s the one thing I absolutely love about San Fran’s WRs (and Kittle) is I’ve watched a lot of tape on them and they are punishing blockers. It’s like having a mini offensive line in the 2nd level and it’s one of the reasons CMAC is on pace for a historical season. Aiyuk especially. Reminds me of Hines Ward in his prime. Just something about a WR  laying the wood on a LB that gets me excited.

Seriously. Everything happens so fast there's no chance that CB has a prayer making a play

It’s not the end of the world, but ideally he’d be blocking on running plays. Obviously if the play is wide to his side, but also for plays to the middle or even the other side of the field. He should be looking for the a deep safety or other downfield player in case the run breaks. WRs blocking downfield are often the difference between a long run and a long TD.


Reference:  Bob Chandler and JD Hill blocking for OJ.

i have nfl+, rewatched the miami game in the coaches all-22 mode

 

not once did the primary defender on diggs make a tackle or get contact on the runner.

 

in fact, on a couple of plays  the run went to diggs side,  the db was too close to the line of scrimmage and the runner went easily by.

 

forget about relaying the info to the other players that diggs is not going downfield....anyone looking over that way takes himself out of the play in a second.

 

this is not hurting the bills in any way

The biggest tell on this offense is that when Josh Allen is lined up under center, he 100% of the time drops one foot back presnap if it’s going to be a QB Sneak.  And if he’s not sneaking it, 100% of the time his feet are side by side presnap.  This has been true since he entered the league, I check every game for this, he still does this every time.

I hate starting topics, and I'm not sure if this was already discussed if so feel free to remove this if it has. I was watching Diggs during the game and if we are running the ball he never moves. Now he had a great game, but if I am a D coordinator I would let my guys know not to bite on the play fake if he's running because it's going to be a pass. I'd have the corner that's covering him to be yelling pass the second he starts running.

I'm not trying to stir up anything and this could very well be a non-issue. I was just pointing out what I saw.

Thanks for ruining their season, now that everyone knows.

 

Maybe the defense can still keep them in a few .
