Bleeding Bills Blue

His best work came on play actions. Hit that drop and let it rip. They did a bunch of WR screens to mixed results, and i felt like he had a few batted balls.

OC is involved in play design and recognition. He isn't necessarily calling which play because reid is - he IS involved in installing the plays and formations into the playbook, the gameplan for the week, setting up the scout team for what they're expecting to see. It's also a middle management position that works directly with every position group. Bienemy was likely the more vocal coach in meetings too, so the "bad cop" calling out missed assignments, drops, mistakes, and being the one to get them coached up for better execution. With a nice players coach in reid, sometimes you need a hardo in meetings. I didn't love the game call or flow in this one - felt like they couldn't get their run game going and went to the well with weird stuff before figuring out the issues there.

I think thats the thing - he was playing for milano i think more than edmunds. I'm not going to say which he's better suited for, but he definitely seems to offer more from a pass rushing perspective than edmunds ever did. Whether he can shed, and play downhill i think is going to be the big question. I'm fairly certain he's probably better in coverage than dodson.

Could be a game where they take some shots. I have Olave and Waddle ahead of him - the real question is him or Aaron Jones in PPR and I'm probably going to go high floor with Jones. Mahomes is basically Steve Young, and Allen is more Favre. I'd say Burrow is probably Aikman in this analogy. Obviously different leagues, play styles, etc.

They do work your zones, and there aren't a lot of defensive players who can match up with him in man. They like to have him stop sort of between the Linebacker and the safety, and he's really good at picking a side to create space. Your options in zone as the SAM are to either take him, or take away the back who's probably leaking out up the sideline and let the mike move in and cover kelce. You then have the nickel or will trying to pick up some sort of other crosser. Basically they just keep stabbing you with kelce and then end up taking the other stuff if you prioritize it.

I mean i feel like every QB has to be on a first name basis with these guys.

Bernard was brought in as a leader/student of the game, more than based off of his physical traits. The path to starting and success isn't always linear, it might require you to gain some size or strength, learn nuances of a new position, how to react more instinctively at a new spot, improve your tackling form, learn to shed blocks more effectively, etc. But i think play recognition, game calling, and general film study are strengths of his - and that is probably why they want him out there.

I mean... a bit of an overstatement. Even potentially missing kelce and toney they still have... a top i dunno, 3 offensive line? Thuney and Humphrey are all-pro's inside with Trey smith who started 17 games as a rookie. Steady hand at left tackle in Donovan smith. Added a fairly big money deal to Taylor from Jacksonville. Even missing some playmakers, they still will be able to create time and space for mahomes to operate, and lanes in the run game for pacheco to put you into makeable 3rd downs. Between Moore, MVS, and Mckinnon they have weapons to attack you at all 3 levels, and if Kelce plays you have to flow defense towards him.

Interesting... i wonder if he's on a pitch count? I'm hitting him on every single snap he's out there 🙂. Honestly i think this should always be the strategy.

He looks big there - he used to often just look big in the middle.

Toney's missed time in camp i think, and is up in the air for week 1. I assume Kelce doesn't play. This is likely a skyy moore, MVS deep shot game if i had to guess. Pacheco and the offensive line, and then you attack in play action.

Detroit can make this game hard, and a slog. Montgomery and Gibbs - early and often. Gay and Bolton are good linebackers, but i think the lions line can make it a rough day at the office with Jones not in there. Get some space in that 10-15 range on play action. If they have a good red zone plan i think they can absolutely win this game.

I guess? I just mean like... picking off Tyson Bagent doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. He played in the big 12 in college, its not like he's never seen big game action before.

There isn't much different about practice and preseason though. There isn't crowd noise, the results don't really matter. He must have been great in practice and the film room.

Yeah, some serious regression from guys like both robinsons too. Allen robinson is in a decent spot now with johnson getting majority of targets, and pickens likely getting a lot of attention. Still think he's lost a step though.

Jet motion into speed option. You can either hand off or the jet motion player blocks, and then you have the pitch option to the running back.

Gotta think Mcvay, stafford, kupp, donald can get you at least 5 wins. They won 5 last year with all 3 of those guys missing time. And starting random QBs like Mayfield and Wolford.

Well he was a rookie 2 years ago, and he coincidentally became healthy the week Von went down... soooo weird.

Benford at the time was starter because he had to be. Now he has to earn every bit of playing time. Hamlin ideally won't be in, poyer will be. Hyde is in over lewis. Bernard is currently the starter (i think), but dodson and now kirksey are waiting in the wings if he doesn't earn his spot.

I'm not sure how much edmunds can do there, hamlin was pushed off completely into dodson by jefferson. If you think edmunds is shooting that gap there i just doubt he could have got there. Benford just whiffed... i don't expect him to decleat the guy but can you at least get some hands on? Then you got lewis playing the other safety who just takes a terrible angle.

I just see Harvin 2.0 with Toney. He'll be missing games every year.

I mean you can say what you want about dodson and milano - who blocks who... But Benford had him dead to rights and whiffed on his tackle in his gap... Like to see harty and cook involved there too. Get those guys in some space and just keep the chains moving.

13 for 38 plus the 81 yard TD. Not saying take it out of his numbers, just that the context there is that he had a good game when outside of one play he really didn't do a whole lot.

If hes not starting in a couple weeks then hopefully that means one of the other guys is doing well 🙂 I think he'll still be on the roster in a couple of weeks either way though for depth.

I mean... Fields was sacked 91 times the last 2 years. Sack percentages of 11.8 and 14.7 which is in a word... bad. He clearly holds the ball longer than most. Before that it was some combination of Foles and Trubisky
