There was clearly an alignment mistake. Bernard got better at liming them up as the game went on. It is where no pre-season hurts him. This isn't true. There's plenty of scenarios where the corner can and will be the force player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a tight situation like that? Really? I'd be interested to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, more often than not when formations are condensed your corner will be primary force. The issue on that play was no one had the first gap inside the widest tight end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I wonder why Ford played so little. Only 10 snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the Bills. And pretty much everybody else. Over the course of a whole season, teams are likely to allow one or two. I took a quick look for the Niners and the Jets last year, two terrific defenses SEA had a 50 yarder against SF. SEA also had a 60 (Walker) yarder against the Jets. This stuff happens. Yup. It's part of the cost of letting Edmunds go. He was excellent at lining them up correctly, and they don't have anyone else right now with much experience at doing so. Likely they'll get better at this as the season goes along.
