Clayton, & adjustment that Arians typically fails to make...

Postby StillMill » Mon Nov 03, 2008 10:42 am

By John Clayton, ESPN.com

1. Time for Bills to counter

The problem with starting 4-0 is every defensive and offensive coordinator wants your game tapes. Over the past month, the riddle that allowed the Bills to jump out to a fast start has been solved. Dick Jauron, a smart coach with an excellent staff, has eight games to make adjustments, or the Bills' playoff hopes could slip away. The Jets used what others learned to beat the Bills 26-17 on Sunday. The process started in Week 5, when the Cardinals beat Buffalo 41-17. Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, knowing the Bills' defense likes to stack three linebackers and a safety close to the line of scrimmage, used an assortment of quick passes to move the football. Using that formula on Sunday, Jets QB Brett Favre, who averaged a modest 10.6 yards per attempt, threw screens, short slants and other quick passes.

------- ------- ------- -------- -------
Needless to say, this is an adjustment Arians has rarely ever made. We did do this to some extent vs. Balt & Jax, but it's been minimal and grudging on Arians' part. Not that I want a dink n' dump offense, but having BenRoth, in the face of a 7-man pass rush, scanning 20 yards downfield for an open receiver is asinine.

There are 2 reasons that the PS do not see things clearly on film and they are as follows

Neither Tomlin nor Arians are smart enough to start the film.

2 Neither of them could see that if they were smart enough to turn on TV

And it would not matter because the QB couldn't focus fast enough to hit a WR that quick.

Ben has bad touch on long balls and screen passes so we never se screens and we gave up on any quick hits ever since Wiz left you have not seen either used. Tomlin and Arians are afraid to put foot down and insist Ben learn how to be a complete QB and utilize more than 6 plays.

So either the Coaches do thier job and quit babying the QB or find one that can throw the passes needed to win

I hope Tomlin walked into the Offensive team meetings this week and asked a very simple question of Arians and the team

"what is our plan to defeat the jail house blitz"

Jailhouse blitz not a problem with the skins...with Taylor hurt all year they only have 10 sacks for the year. Skins don't run same scheme nor do they possess same defensive talent as the Eagles and Giants...that said they're not the Bengirls either.
