83 yard run. Sean McDermott made an interesting comment.

Correct but as I said straight away in the GDT thread a running back running off tackle should never have the corner be the only man in contain or the first contact. 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.

In a tight situation like that? Really? I'd be interested to hear more.

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.

Fair enough. Appreciate the explanation. And yes, definitely the fact Tre had two gaps was down to an alignment issue.

I wonder why Ford played so little.   Only 10 snaps.

You're right. I NEVER see teams breaking long runs once a year or more against other teams. 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. 

You saw this, right?
