Fantastic execution to notice Neal was uncovered.

 

Two questions -


Did they audible at the line to throw to Neal? (I assume so)

 

Is Jaquan Johnson right handed? He threw it with his left hand, but if he's right handed this play is extra, extra impressive.

I think it wasn’t planned but they did it because of they left him uncovered on a short 4th down

 

all teams have this.

Werent both guys uncovered?  I looked at it like they were trying to get a block for a td like they did last year.  Luckily we were more prepared and adjusted.

On postgame they said his draft profile says he’s right handed but for non QBs that’s usually the default. 

 

I was just gonna say I didn't know he was left-handed until he threw that pass....as a fellow left-hander, it was nice to see.

It's especially sweet to get a good special teams play against Belichick. Roberts with the big return early in the game was nice too.

this was the same Bellichek no gunner coverage alignment that led to the punt block TD last year.

 

Bills were waiting for it, and took advantage.

Exactly. That was definitely not called in the huddle, but also was something the Bills were ready for. I would guess that in practice/meetings this week (every week?), they went over the block last year, and what to do if NE tries that again. I’m assuming that if we were on our own 5, or it was 4th and 20, we would have just gone max protect. But otherwise, the plan was to recognize the situation and pick up the first!

 

P.S. We ran a similar fake a couple years ago with Logan Thomas throwing. Way better than the old school method of snapping 15 yards to the punter and having him try a pretty long throw for just a few net yards. If I was a special teams coach, I would always try to find an upman who’s played QB at a high level, like Logan Thomas, or Taysom Hill for the Saints. Tebow also played that spot on punts when he was on the Jets.
