Stopping the Miami Offense (and Tua the wizard) - Lets hear the ideas.

October snow storm.

Hope our Samoan Superman can shut down their Somoan Sniper. 
 

This game will come down to coaching, because their offense humming and I don’t like our secondary vs their receivers AT ALL. 

[Lieutenant Aldo Raine]

1.  Ball control 

 

2. DLine get arms up for batted passes or deflections 

 

[BullBuchanan]

You can't let their WRs run free. I'd rather let them march down the field on 20 5 yard defensive holding penalties than play 15 yards off Hill like he wave a habit of doing. Beat up on their WRs all game and make them beat you on the ground or with long developing plays.

Do what NE did.  The Bills have a better D and a much better O then NE.

12th man and our swarming D.  McD has our boys playing lights out.

LOL!  Even then… that Saturday Night game against the Dolphins last season, they got theirs against our D.

 

  Although, to be fair, we didn’t have Micah Hyde, Leonard Floyd, hell or TB43 for that game.  Plus, White was still pretty tentative out there.

[MJS]

Well, they've played two mediocre teams (Chargers and Patriots) and one poor team (Broncos).

 

They've been impressive offensively, but let's not crown them the champs yet. They literally did this last year and couldn't sustain it.

Exactly.  The "no one has stopped them" seems a little overblown, they only scored 24 on the Pats*

[Steptide]

Take Waddle and hill out of the game. Make Tua rely on his other receivers. If the bills do that, I think Miami struggles. I realize that's easier said than done, but that'd be my focus on defense this week

Northeaster 45 mph winds tuas noodle arm can't cut threw it.

Just don’t let them take big plays to the house. No 30+ yard TDs running or passing. Force them to go the full length of the field and try to hold them to FGs. Their speed isn’t as effective once the field is compressed in the red zone. Tackling and not overcommitting is going to be super important. Discipline!

 

Then on the flip side we need TDs and not FGs. Should be a good one. I’m going to watch the snow game highlights from last year to get hyped.

I love basketball and appreciate that the best point guard doesn't have to score any points.  So far in three games, its hard to argue with T"ua the points guard's" results.  So the question is how should it be stopped.  

So far three professional NFL DC's did not have the answer.  I am sure I don't.  But I will start with a question/proposition:

I keep hearing how Tua is getting rid of the ball so quickly, that no pass rush can be effective.  If I assume that to be true, then why pass rush with more than 3 and just play 100% Dime.  The last thing Tua wants to do is run so we don't need to worry about that.  Seems like this might force Tua to wait for plays to develop, which is not what he seems to thrive.  Make Tua beat us deep. 

That’s what NE did they didn’t send many and played deep and made them earn it by driving down the field.. the Dolphins scored 17 in the first half but the second half they were not patient and allowed the Pats to almost come back and beat them. Final was 24-20… I think the Bills can score more than 20 points in Miami D.

Josh Allen

[billsfan89]

I would like to see Elam play, he is by far the most athletic corner and the Fins have two of the fastest WR in the league and they should try to put Elam out there as he did fairly well last season against the Fins.

 

Scheme wise who the ***** knows but I think they would try to get pressure with the front 4 and go two deep zone.

The same we we have. 
 

pressure with front 4

 

play your assignments 

make your tackles

have the LBer eat the midfield passing lanes 

Hit Tua 

outscore them 

disguise the defense (they have been played straight up for 3 weeks Tua can easily see the field). 
 

when a team played games (chargers) he struggled. 
 

score TDs every time we have the ball. 

And have Josh and offense milk the clock as much as possible. Heck even if Diggs l or Davis is wide lower take the short 10 yd 1st down that's a gimme as well.  Once we have a comfortable lead you play keep away as much as you can as the very best defense against a potent offense.  Bills fans of the 90s know this fact.  Giants were the inferior offensive team and they just left kelly and co. No time to do their thing.  

 

Oh and bench Josh at somewhere like the 15 min mark if 4th quarter.  Gives him the chance to watch and study how teams are playing us so his lack of film study isn't as big a detriment going forward.  Benching him the past 2 games seems to have secured the wins.

Miami showed alot of their playbook agenst the broncos.....

[Goin Breakdown]

People say Miami played bad teams, so have the Bills. This is not going to be as easy as that. I'd hope that anything we can come up with, D coordinators have already thought of and failed to impose on Miami. It's going to be a crazy ride this week.

The Broncos weren't a poor team.  They were horrendous.  They quit before half time.

I'm thinking we should be helping Tua practice his art of falling so he masters it to avoid any future scrambling of his brain.  I want him to see all th Bills dline and delayed blitzes as caring supportive nfl brethern.  If that means he starts seeing ghosts well maybe he needs to have a long discussion with his family if its worth the punishment.
