BuffaloBillies Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Serious (likely dumb) question. Is there any scheme that would allow Bills O to double team BOTH Watt and Clowney nearly EVERY play? I'll try to suggest a few ways, not sure how sound they are: - Double-tight (TEs), maybe empty backfield, 3 WRs (with shady in slot), or 2 WR set with Shady or Ivory in backfield - Single-tight TE (one side), FB in to help with other side - Pulling Guards - WR come down blocks - G/T double on both sides, C takes one DT, FB takes on other - Let one DT go unblocked and hope you can make a move to avoid him, or design play away from Other ways?

I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair amount of max protect (double TE and the like). As another poster suggested, there could also be a lot of rollouts. I think the Bills might be able to use the screen pass successfully too,
Jerome007 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 The Bills beat them last time and made Watt a non-factor by RUNNING, a lot. Often at him too. Probably one of the most run heavy play calling the Bills did at a time when they were already run oriented. I suggest the Bills do the same! Watt and Clowney are no joke if Allen holds the ball.
Comebackkid Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 We miss Fred Jackson blocking, though Watt may not.

You take advantage of that aggresiveness by using screens 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Run tbe ball, get the guys that actually catch the balls in the game early and have another outstanding defensive effort
ghostwriter Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Play to win, don't play not to lose. Go down swinging, play loose, it will completely catch them off guard. Knock them out.
DuckyBoys Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Every passing play should have a checkdown option for Allen to have a safety valve. I dont care if he uses the checkdown to a back or te 15 times. Try to set up some screens. One play I dont see the Bills run is that stretch run Peyton Manning ran so well where he'd run to the right and extend the handoff and every so often he's drop back out of that. Show the Texans new wrinkles Get creative w both McCoy and Ivory in the backfield. Lets be honest Ivory is probably the second best option on offense. 1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Run Just like Roethlisberger did in his rookie year.
H2o Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 I'd expect McCoy and even Ivory to see a heavy workload on Sunday. I see another game coming where Josh Allen doesn't even have 20 pass attempts. He needs to be accurate on those pass attempts though to keep the defense honest. Mix in some RPO, some bubble screens, and take three or four deep shots downfield. Hopefully the defense continues their stellar play, we can sneak out a W, and be somewhere no one really expected us to be after 6 weeks which is at .500 on the season.
Best Player Available Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 This hopefully be the game. When jordan Mills retires at halftime. A couple of Texans are drooling to play against him. it will be a good stat game for JJ.
stuvian Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 run straight at Watt and Clowney. dink and dunk to stay out of 3rd and long. Be happy with FGs.

Doc Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Daboll should do what McVay does with Goff and have the offense line up early (i.e. well before the 15 second cutoff) and send an audible in.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Maybe I'll be proven wrong tomorrow but this is going to be a close game and the 10 point spread is ridiculous. The Texans are not that good. They lost to the Giants and every game they have played has been close with both their wins coming in overtime. The Bills have a good defense and the Texans despite good numbers from Watson are no juggernaut. They have real trouble running the ball and have been bad in the red zone. If the Bills can script an early drive and get out to an early lead I think they win. Edited October 13, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12
