26CornerBlitz Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 Why doesn't A Smith throw deep? Just read the Capaccio article Reid is a "Chief" proponent of the WCO and their passing offense with Smith as the triggerman is primarily predicated on short to intermediate precision passing to advance the football.

That was a turrible joke : )But its extreme statistically isnt it ? Sal's thoughts seemed to lean to , dont even worry about the deep ball. I know Jim S knows better. But should the Bills play a press coverage to disrupt routes and rely on some pressure ? Or do they keep the plays underneath and just make the solid tackle ? The game may be about incurring the least mistakes for both sides , and one or two big plays may make the game Edited November 9, 2014 by 3rdand12

Or do they keep the plays underneath and just make the solid tackle ? The game may be about incurring the least mistakes for both sides , and one or two big plays may make the game I'd prefer they utilize the press technique to disrupt the timing of the routes and force Smith to hold the ball just a little longer. Rely on quick pressure to get to Smith and if they don't get home have the DL keep their hands up for batted balls. None of their receivers are accomplished enough deep threats to be overly worried about getting beat deep.

None of their receivers are accomplished enough deep threats to be overly worried about getting beat deep. There is my answer. I have thought that "hands up" should be a state of mind. But as most of us know thats the last move a D lineman might make or the last resort . With penetrating DTs like ours , You lose the pressure , the block and also take a chance of a decent punch in the gut ! Dontari Poe wil be getting his hands up if Eric doesnt hold them down as taught , i would guess But this is one of those game the D line and LBs need to mess with Smiths vision on the short passes. Good point
