nick in* england Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Just wanted to draw attention to some excellent game planning and execution from last week. Watching the tape back of the Jags, the first TD of the game by Lynch was brought about by good personnel choice, and great blocking. The Bills came out Single Back (Lynch) - TE Left (Royal) - Twins Right/weak (Z=Evans H=Reed) - X Left (Hardy) This looks like a definite passing situation on first down, so the Jags are in a Nickel D, with the free safety shading the weak side. Jags DL is up on its toes for the rush, in an even (maybe over) front. On the snap, Peters and Dockery release to the second level leaving Royal matched up with the end, whom he cuts (badly - he missed). Fowler and Walker turn their guys to the outside giving them the edge to rush upfield. The man over Peters expects to be blocked, so as he bursts upfield, he stumbles and is decked by Butler who is coming down the line on the quick trap block. Lynch runs directly through the trap hole and follows Peters and Dockery to space. It's a one wiggle move past the FS and a score. What I like about this play is it is a creative use of personnel and a back to basics play combined with superb execution and a little flair to get the score. More of this from Buffalo this year (and crucially this high level of line play) and we'll be playoff bound for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Nice Nick! I remember long fruitless discussions with posters (JDG, being one) about Fairchid's predictable offense and playcalling. There were some who couldn't seem to understand that being unpredictable doesn't mean throwing the ball all over the place. As you state , this is a basic play, but you wouldn't expect it based on the personnel and formation. With Fairchild, the D pretty much knew what play was going to be run before the snap.

nick in* england Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Nice analysis Jaws in -er Nick in England! I think we found our post game writer! Ha. I thought about offering to do post game. But I might struggle to do it for a Monday! Also - it's kinda hard to break down the game as it happens and you are drinking beer.

nick in* england Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 More film review - a small point on the creativity of Schonert: One play 3 and a half minutes into the 2nd quarter, we end up with 4 WRs on the field but - Parrish wide left, Reed and Hardy bunch right and Lee Evans lines up at fullback. Evans motions to make a standard trips bunch and we run a pitch right. I would never have picked that play from that formation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Maraucci pointed out that block on the trap as well after the game. Nice to see a coach appreciate that stuff and point it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I wondered (today actually) if this was how Lynch would be geting most of his scores this season. It seems obvious that in EVERY first down situation inside the 15, we'd line up wide, spreading the field- and I think more often than not it's gonna go to Lynch straight up the gut for the score. We've all seen the guy run, if he gets 4 yards of realestate past the LOS without being touched by a defender, GOOD LUCK stopping him for those extra 5-10 yards he needs for a score!

Coach Tuesday Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The move Lynch put on that safety was ridiculous. The play was executed perfectly, meaning that everyone made their blocks leaving Lynch one-on-one with the safety, and he juked the guy out of his jock strap.
