This week’s film breakdown analyzes the Buffalo Bills defense and the way they are changing the game. Last year we saw NFL defenses blitz less and less as 2 high coverages became more prevalent, well now? The Bills literally didn’t blitz the Rams once. This isn’t a one-off either, I don’t think the Bills had some wild, insane game plan, I think they’re blazing a path where Quarterbacks get blitzed less than ever. How can defenses be successful without sending any blitzes at all? This week’s episode uses the all-22 coaches film to analyze the Buffalo Bills new defense.

What are the best defenses in the NFL? Gimme the Bills, 49ers, Bucs, Rams, and Packers
;( please let us get to the super bowl
Humble Pie served on Sunday
And the Dolphins just took that personally
With the rules and personnel the way they are they want to defend the short pass and deep threat even if it means only a 4 man rush
Man you are really REALLY good at breaking this down
Was that called the Dime Package back in the day?
Need man Bump and Run Covers!
I haven't watched football in ages, since before the days of Lawrence Taylor, but some of this has got to be the Bills defense being good. If you can get pressure on a QB with just four rushers, that's just superior athletes on defense.
As tua and the dolphins come back to beat the bills…😂
It just makes too much sense
Honestly the cover 2 shell is boring
todd bowles did it first
Someone must have clued in the Miami Dolphins.
It's hilarious that so-called experts come out with stuff like this, then the very thing they cited lays a giant egg.
"Any Given Sunday" baby.
Face it. The Bills might not even win their division.
Defensive football is so much more interesting than offense
Well Miami beat them.
well, so much for the Bills "changing" the face of Defense.
They are now missing so many players the team may have to go after CFL Players to fill out the weekly roster empty spots.
What was looking as a promising year, could end up being a disaster.
Too many Players are either on multiple weeks off for injury or now placed on IR Season Ending.
Rushing 4 may not be the best scheme against some of the elite offenses in the NFL.
RETURN OF THE FULLBACKS to counter 2 high with power runs 2023
This is the NFL version of Iowa State’s fighting Matt Campbells playing Rush 3 Drop 8 and snuffing Lincoln Riley’s offense.
Everything depends on the front four if they don't get presure then they have to send more defenders which creates space for offence so it's all down to the front four so nothing new
As opposed to metaphorically?
Why blitz when you can get that kind of great pressure rushing four. If the Rams O-Line performed a bit better and gave Stafford some time, I don't think it would have worked so well.
As a dolphins fan, hahahahahahahahahaha.
What’s the beat playing in background starting at 0:14 ?
So Tom Brady will win number 8 is what you're saying? 🙂
So glad they aren"t just figuatively changing defences. That would be weak.
OMG Duc Phuc , i like your cover version. Love it !
This aged like cheese, dolphins owned the bills defense
This breakdown was awesome! I like the defensive disguise but to pull this off you got to have a speed team on defense!
Who knew that getting consistent pressure without blitzing could work? Who knew?!?!
Born and raised in SoCal, but ever since I saw the Bill's last season, I've been a fan.
Tua >
The Patriots have been doing this for years, and Matt Patricia is hated by all Lions fans for doing this for an entire season. This only works if you have a front 4 that can get home.
Well, it would take a few years. But, QB mobile players would bring RPO concepts that will make NFL defenses be honest, at a risk of injuring the QB and shorter lifespan. But, this 2 deep shell defense is quite amazing.
Seems to me what will happen in response is the offense will start running the ball; if you can average 4+ yards a carry, the defense has to start bringing down safeties or risks being exhausted by Q4 which opens up the passing game.
As a panthers fan, it makes me sick how much of the panthers' coaching staff moved to Buffalo and are now doing all of this lol.
Why'd they get 21-0'd by the Panthers I wanna see that breakdown too.
Egball not football
The extra safety didn't help against Tua Tagovailoa when the Bills had them at 3rd and twenty two in the third quarter. The three man rush didn't even get near Tua. He picked the Bills secondary apart all day long and the feeble pass rushing game provided little pressure. If the Bills want to get to the Super Bowl Leslie Frazier has to be able to change tactics when the game plan is not working.
lol, hows that rev going?
over hyped clown show that puts more pressure on trying to break tablets, and Posh Allen crying to the officials…the Super Bowl favs are already a joke, that the simple minded will never understand.
