MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Well it's quite simple actually, but buffalo has ignored this since bringing in Bledsoe. Bledsoes biggest problem has never been de's or outside blitzes it's being rushed up the middle. The problem is we have no size or strength on the middle of our line, and while they're average run blockers. They're smallish and get handled pretty easily by big fat dt's making our offense very vunerable to middle blitzes, and while you obviousily can't block everyone, putting size on our line (I know it won't happen this year) will go a long way to protecting whoever our qb is next year and beyond, but to avoid the middle blitz for the short term and to help drew from being a sitting duck. The Bills have to improve on 1st and 2nd down. Do everything possible to stay out of 3rd and long. When you're in 3rd and short. Defenses are less likely to blitz for fear of being run on. You can't really blitz when you have to respect the run and the pass. If Buffalo is unable to execute on 1st and 2nd down it's gonna be a loooooooooong day of the same old bills.

The real problem is even though we are committed to the run, it is our inability to run the football that has hurt us so much....TH/WM have not had the holes or not burst through the holes (when available) to get the chains moving. Jax and Oak have good interior lineman who can stop the run and they just did that...And with a too conservative game plan and shoddy work by the WRs and TEs and some bad throws by DB have kept our Passing game from exploiting the secondary mismatches. Hope they can run the ball well and everything else should take care of itself. ganesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
