shagmago Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 If it was a simple as that, every immobile QB would get max blitzed all the time. Teams should start to do that to Peyton Manning. Geez, If only the Bills had known it was that easy in SB XXVI, they could have employed that fail safe strategy against Mark Rypien. 41547[/snapback] Your forgetting Drew has become just a big dumb jock! Teams know they can blitz him, cause they know where he`s gonna be and he`s to stupid to make the right reads.Put a f-ing rookie in there and you have the same thing, except rookies have legs and can scramble to get out of trouble.The bottom line is with our putrid o-line we need a qb with some smarts and can scramble around...nuff said!!!!!!!!!
CoachChuckDickerson Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Basically, opposing defenses are "cheating" up at the line of scrimmage to enable themselves to have a distinct advantage in defensing the run. If Bledsoe notices the extra numbers of defenders in the "box"and "checks" out of the run, the opposing defense is only too happy to oblige that... for two reasons... 1) they don't have to defend the run, even though they're in position to stuff it (so they are covered) 2) the odds that Bledsoe can run backwards (drop back) 7 or 8 yards faster than a young linebacker or DB can run forward, say, 12 yards is overwhelmingly in the opposing defense's favor. Also, since Bledsoe has almost no ability to slide left ot right, he's rarely outside the tackle perimeter to allow him to throw the ball away. So the defense has such a distinct advantage when Bledseo is at QB that it is as if they were playing with 13 defensers on the field each and every play. Sure, every now and then they may get dinged for a meaningless gain, but in playing this type of defense against Bledsoe and company, they've prevented the Bills from any offensive continuity and ability to sustain their offense. What pisses me off as a Bills fan is that all of us Bills fans must suffer through this disastrous Bledsoe experiment while the current front office regime and coaching staff continue to try to figure out a way to enable Drew to function rather than focus on what it takes to win games. Yes, my Bills brethren, what we have here is the tail wagging the dog... and if this coaching staff and front office can't recognize this then they have no business have a job in footbal on any level. The bottom line is this... the sooner Bledsoe is benched, the sooner the bills will get back to winning. Bledsoe may be a very nice lad, but he stinks as a QB and he won't and can't get better than he is. 41458[/snapback] This post is a joke right? I can only assume your knowledge of the game comes from video games.

Statements like this are absolutely ridiculous.
