Are the Bills bringing back some old school tactics?

[blacklabel]

Howdy all Bills fans on this gray Saturday (if you're up here in the 716, that is, could be breezy and beautiful for some of y'all, I don't know where youse live!) anywho...

 

Didn't see this posted up anywhere just yet, also seems to be a brand new video just dropped earlier today. Don't know how many of you follow some of the writers from The Athletic but their stuff is generally pretty good. 

 

Analyst breaks down some of the plays Bills ran out of 22 personnel against KC last week and just shows the emphasis they put on utilizing Gilliam and the TE crew. Seemed like it was pretty effective.

Oddly enough, I believe they built the team Rex Ryan wanted to build when he came here. Run the ball. Pressure the opposing QB. Cause turnovers.

Have we reached a consensus on how Atlanta beat the Bills? They blitzed like crazy and stacked the box to stop Cook, but why didn't Allen do his thing and hit his outlets? If there's no clear answer, it's a clear invitation for other teams to follow suit as the best way to stop these old-school tactics.

They didnt actually stop Cook. New England did a bit. In the Falcons game Brady just got away from him. On the OC.

And he would have, if only the Blue Jays didn't have a big game.

I didn't read the article, but I know back in the day, TEs were blockers first, receivers second.  Then the NFL transitioned to TEs like Jimmy Graham who ran like Bambi but blocked like Bambi too.  

 

Kincaid is a new school TE, but Hawes is an old schooler more in the mold of Mike Ditka (though not as good).  Knox is a tweener.

Josh just wasn’t Josh in Atlanta.  Teams can’t count on that.  As for stopping old school tactics, we have an O line playing well and a RB playing great.  Make teams show they can stop that.
