Buffalo716 Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Posted Monday at 10:17 PM (edited) 9 hours ago, The Helmet of said: 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 Edited Monday at 10:18 PM by Buffalo716 Quote
