All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
GW said in his press conference that the cause of the long Indy kickoff return was that Indy used a wedge and the Bills ST did not "set correctly" for the wedge.
Could someone explain to me how you do not "set correctly" for the wedge?
I'm really curious here, guys. I thought the wedge or V was a stock play from high school on up -- how could it have caused such confusion for our ST defense?
On ST's if they retreat back to below the 20-25 yard line in some sort of wedge or man blocking technique yo gotta take that player on if he runs through your assigned lane, taking him on square using his body. You can't allow the player to choose a side. If this takes place a seam will open for a return, a big return.
Basically, the coverage team has to work together against a wedge, stay in their lanes and take the play to the ball, not allowing the ball to the play. Not rocket science by any means. Usually, you put your craziest bastards on ST's for coverage, but the also have to be disciplined, as soon as the other team sees someone "freelancing" & messing up the lane coverage, they will exploit it over & over again on subsequent coverage plays.
