YOOOOOO Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Why are the DE's pass rushing on every down(the last 3 weeks)....they over persue giving up these big gaps, that i could drive my SUV thru...I could understand it on 3rd down and being beat on a draw....but everydown its just making there job easier.... Is this some new Fewell strategy??? and while I'm at it....Why do our blitzers always look for contact instead of trying to make a move and avoid the block.....None of our blitzers make any type of juke move....they just try to run over any blocker that confronts them....

The result is usually a huge run or a nice pass but on occasion a sack will occur. It's tough to decide if the risk outweighs the potential results.

Phlegm Alley Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 There are also guys (McGee, Whitner) who are supposed to contain the outside and prevent the RB from busting to the outside. Whitner was too aggressive and McGee wasn't aggressive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i love how our defensive line can never recognize a screen pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The speed rush upfield is Schobel's m.o. He sells himself out to get his one sack per game, while the right side is constantly gashed in the running game. I hope that is the plan, and it's just the guys behind Schobel missing tackles or not filling gaps. I doubt Schobel would continue to take himself out of the play consistently if the coaches told him not to. At least I would hope not. But I think this method contributes to both Schobel's solid sack numbers, and the Bills pourous run defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsjunkie Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I think the point is that Whitner was throwing himself right into those bodies instead of staying outside. He did that twice trying to be aggressive and go for the loss. Its fine though. Rookie mistakes. The good thing about Whitner is that he seems to be learning from his miscues each week. I think Simpson and McGee played some pretty good ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
