RealityCheck Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I am curious what you guys think of our secondary going into this season. Last year every team that we played, especially in the division, new that running the ball was going to be their top priority in beating us. Also, we play soft zone and played off the receivers all the time. My question is if we can indeed stop the run and teams focus more on passing against us, will our secondary look as good? Can our guys successfully play press coverage when we blitz? I personally have no idea. It could be good, or it could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Prob good enough for now and if we have actual improvement up front (pressure on the QB) then that's only going to help the secondary as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can our guys successfully play press coverage when we blitz? I personally have no idea. It could be good, or it could get ugly. Could also work both ways. If we can stop the run, Whitner or another safety won't have to constantly cheat against the run. Having a head coach who's only expertise was DB's at least gives you a decent secondary.

I think this is dead on. Why pass if you can run five-six yards a pop. That said, Jauron knows his secondary and we have a great group. A pass rush will make them better.

Doc Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The pass defense was 2nd in yards allowed, which by itself means little since if teams chose to run mostly, they'd pass less and that would lead to less passing yards. However the Bills were also 2nd in pass yards per play, which is the most important stat, tied for 2nd in TD passes allowed, and 3rd in opposing QB completion percentage and INT's. IOW the pass defense was for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealityCheck Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Do you guys think that the new coaches will continue to have the corners play off and encourage them to jump routes on blitzes or finally let them get in receivers faces and do the old bump and run?
