Joe Brady needs to break this out in the playoffs in a key situation...

We usually don't have a RB lined up that far behind JA. He's much closer in order to give him a push. If we lined up with someone further back like that, it would probably be a giveaway...(not that it wouldn't work anyway)...

i could be wrong, but this strikes me as one of those plays that always works in high school but would never work in the NFL. 

Agreed,

 

Not how high and wide the QBs legs are, that would be a pretty easy to detect he is not going to do a QB sneak.  If you dont have the high and wide legs, risk of snap hitting his legs are extreme and frought with danger.

In the same vein: I think we should be throwing on the QB pull more often. Keeping the defense honest about having to defend both the pass and run when Allen runs wide would be deadly.

They did that with Knox last game and he was uncovered downfield...still had to make a crazy one hander because he was so open Allen almost overthrew him but Allen made it look like it was a QB run to the outside again and just stopped and lofted up a pass to Knox instead.

I always liked the Bledsoe / mcgahee pitch myself.

 

 

but I agree, the Bills should do BOTH of those plays, mainly to keep defenses honest we when do want to sneak it.  It will make those snowplows easier

We might not do this play, but I expect us to do something different out of the Shnowplow formation from at least a yard out when the defense goes big and we really need it.

Almost sounded like Don Criqui had some money on the Seahawks in that game the way he announced that play.

It's cool, but the Josh Allen QB sneak is such a high percentage play that it is perhaps too risky just attempting something like this.

Yeah, it might’ve worked with Kyle Orton since there would have been nothing in the path of the football… Allen’s big brass set would certainly impede the snap.

Anytime the ball is on the 1 yard line and they don't give it to Josh Allen to be pushed across the line makes my head explode.  It's the highest percentage play in the playbook. 

 

Last game is a perfect example.  3rd and goal on the 1 and they try something stupid that fails and they get a penalty on top of it.   Now it's 4th and goal at the 6 and Bass misses the field goal.  They had two shots to push Allen's azz 1 yard for a touch down and got cute and scored zero points as a result.

 

When it's 4th and 1,  or if the ball is on 1 yard line, don't show me how clever you are, give it to your 6' 5" 245 lb QB and push him forward a yard.

 

Period.

Was thinking the same thing….. third leg impediment 😜


The Butch Rolle play.

   It’s there all the time. You’ve got the extra lineman in there, have him report as eligible and score with it.

   You succeed once and it’s one more thing they have to contend with.

Would have been the perfect play call at the end of the Rams game right before calling the time out.
