Big Turk Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Interesting for those who like learning the nuances of defense...here are the Bills 2003 Pressure Packages https://www.footballxos.com/download/2003-buffalo-bills-regular-pressure-package-pdf/?wpdmdl=4541&refresh=5cfd56dbc59281560106715 2 2
RiotAct Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 ugh... what a disappointment that season was. Especially after our hot start
Capco Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 That's very interesting. As someone who's never played anything more than backyard football, I never realized how much is accounted for with each defensive play. Reading those responsibilities and alignments for each play really helps I also have newfound appreciation for the notion of overly complicated defensive playbooks and how some players have a hard time digesting theses plays. It's like a different language. My first reaction after looking at the page count was that this was "fairly small, can't be much here." After reading just the first couple pages though, it's jam-packed with information. Can anyone explain what is happening on page 3 for example? Is "Under Sam Dog" a defensive concept? Are the subsections titled "White" "Twin" and "Ace" just examples of the concept as it is applied to different offensive formations?
4merper4mer Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Did they ever find the "punt from the opponent's 35" playbook? 4
ALLEN1QB Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Makes my brain hurt!!! Could not imagine being a rookie having to learn the playbook. 1

Are the subsections titled "White" "Twin" and "Ace" just examples of the concept as it is applied to different offensive formations? Expand Under is the front alignment of the defensive line and Sam Dog means the SAM linebacker is blitzing on the play. Yes, that is correct...each play CHANGES based on the offensive formation...your keys, responsibility, etc...which is why its not just learning the play, its learning what you have to do against every offensive formation as well on each play Edited June 9, 2019 by matter2003 2

quinnearlysghost88 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Based on the SS assignments, you see how the Pats could just plug a WR back there and still remain competitive.
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Cool Find. I wonder how much has changed in his defensive system since then.
