Honest question. Will Buffalo still play nickel in fourth and inches situations? I know Taron is a stud but he’s not a run stuffer. I think McD should be more flexible rotating guys in… but what the hell do I know… 🤷 

 

This current strategy is obviously a winning formula but with guys like Henry, Mixon, Saquon, Pacheco,  it’s probably not going to be a winning formula to give up 9 yards a carry…

Sean McDermott has had the same philosophy for 7 years 

 

He doesn't care that much about yards between the twenties.. as the offense gets closer to the Red zone his defense Tightens up

 

His zone match defense has less ground to cover... And the windows are smaller ... Passing lanes and running lanes are tighter

 

That's why we rotate the defensive line every possession basically... McDermott's strategy on defense wouldn't work if we ran a majority four or five lineman... They would be beat up by the fourth quarter 

 

The rotation... And the bend but don't break... Wears out other offensive lines by the fourth quarter

 

Look at our goal line run defense... We are immaculate when we want to actually stop it... When our back is on the goal line Sean is stuffing your run

2 tackles today.  
 

Defense allows 37 points and 450 yards.  
 

I'm sure getting him acclimated has absolutely nothing to do with it tho.

Dorian is our only physical downhill LB.  Replacing him with another small back 7 defender didn’t help today.

Gotta change up the D against the Lions.  Play a 4-3 scheme with Dorian back in the lineup.
