rpcolosi Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think we need to pinn an explanation on the way the Bills LB's are set up... Mitchell is a Sam LB playing in the Will spot...Buffalo switches its LB's arround...they play the Sam in the Will's spot and the Will in the Sam's spot...or the weak side LB plays in the Strong side LB spot and the Strong plays in the Weaks spot...so Pisa would be a WILL-LB playing in the SAM-LB side...and Mitchell is the teams SAM-LB playing in the WILL-LB spot. thank you. for setting some people straight.

SuperKillerRobots Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 According to the Bills' depth chart from the game notes they give the media, Mitchell was the SLB, Posluszny was the MLB and Ellison was the WLB. On a game-by-game basis, the Bills designated Mitchell as the following on a game-by-game basis: LB for Week 1, SLB for Weeks 2 through 8, the generic "Played" for Week 9 (didn't start), SLB for Week 10, ROLB for Weeks 11 through 14 and SLB for the last two games. Tim, any idea on which one lines up overr the TE and which over the weak side of the formation generally? Or do they just switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKillerRobots Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We align based on where our "bubble" is defensively - the 3 and the 5 technique. So from there, the the Will and Sam will flop accordingly. Why do they flip? - based on what? The 5 technique is the DE, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynchMob23 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Why do they flip? - based on what? The 5 technique is the DE, right? Yeah, based on where the 5 (DE) and 3 (DT) align, they flow to that side. That's predicated by the presence of the TE or where the strength of the formation is. So for Kawika, he was the SLB (as Will) who took care of the TE in conjunction with the SS - see the Pick versus SD, where Gates was covered high by the safety and he snuck under, even though he was aligned on the other side of the field.
