hmsmystic Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Not sure having Star back is anything but good news. The McDermott 4-3 or nickel "system" relies on a big 1 tech DT to crash the line and free up LBS. Last year the dudes we had playing DT did not do that very well and the defense suffered against the run-I still shudder at that horrifying 1st Kansas City game thrashing last year. This year we can dare teams to run and maybe have a better chance of stopping it! Edited June 15, 2021 by hmsmystic 2

BADOLBILZ Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 6 hours ago, IgotBILLStopay said: Enjoy!! Yeah this did not age well. Two poor play choices and two things that haven't happened at all with Star on the Bills defense. First of all........on the run play Star gets a single block and like everyone on the line he holds his ground/gap against an outside zone run. A single block against a center should end that way with any NT or 1 tech.......they have a big advantage in a single block situation with the center having to snap the ball and quickly get out of his stance and drive the defender to the run side in unison with the other blockers to *hopefully* create cutback lanes for the RB. That's how outside zone works. Luke Kuechly simply makes a very instinctive solo tackle. Star doesn't keep Kuechly clean.......that isn't even his job on this play. Star just occupies one man like everyone else and Kuechly anticipates and deftly beats the block of the left guard and makes the kind of instinctive play that he made regularly and Edmunds simply doesn't. Should the Bills defense be in this position you are much more likely to see Edmunds get blocked by the left guard OR select the wrong hole OR be a tick too late to get thru that gap and get to the runner before he bounces it. Kuechly plays it like a RB and gets into a narrow space in a hurry. Edmunds rarely looks like a reflection of the RB position........he's a DE playing MLB at this point. The pass play against Green Bay has Star lined up as a 3 tech in a gimmick look where the fake blitz fools the Pack into sliding protection. How Turner anticipated seeing this a lot in Buffalo I am not sure. ANY 3 tech is going to get at least a double in that slide protection. Turner is acting like Star "forced" the Pack to triple team him LOL. The point of the positioning of a DT at 3 tech on the outside shoulder of the guard is to create a one-on-one with the OL for both the 3 tech AND the DE on that side of the ball. The Pack just got pantsed. Because they had the wrong protection called they even had the RB on the wrong side of the formation to assist with Peppers. Just a very effective defensive play call. Neither of those plays really exhibit exceptional work by Lotulelei.........rather they highlight the importance of positioning, play calling and having instinctive play makers. As I said........these are NOT things that Star has done for the Bills defense..........definitely not the "impact" he's had on the Bills defense. 2 1 1
Mat68 Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 His differance in body compisition is wild. Seems like the time away may have done wonders for his body. Him playing 10% better is a boom for the defense. 1
Bangarang Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Star has oddly become one of the most overrated players on this team

He chose to stay home at the END of July!! and let his team down big time. The defense suffered, esp middle of line. Now this year, rumors of his retirement and not showing up to OTAs. Dude is all over the board and he deserted his team during a time of war. He made a choice, like many others, to opt out. If you're going to call him unpredictable because there were obviously incorrect rumors that he was retiring is your problem, not his. OTA's were voluntary. Basically did nothing improper. 1
