What will be Stevie's encore in 2011?

[justasportsfan]

Johnson and the rest of the Bills receiving corps will not have an easy go of it in 2011. They face the top two passing defenses from a season ago in San Diego (1st) and Oakland (2nd) and three others in the top 10 including a pair of division opponents that they’ll play twice in Miami (8th) and the Jets (6th). On the flip side they also could have big days against the likes of Tennessee (29th), New England (30th) and Washington (31st).

What Hixon believes will help Johnson possibly even more this season is the freedom to improvise a little in Buffalo’s passing game.

“One great thing about coach Chan Gailey’s offense is it allows players the creativity,” he said. “Our main goal is beat the man. That means beat the defender and be where you’re supposed to be, when you’re supposed to be there and don’t fool the quarterback. Those are the three basic rules.

Anybody else find this quote interesting?

Oakland has a good pass rush and pretty decent secondary, but they will be missing Asomugha next year.

Sounds like common sense to me, something this coaching staff has an abundance of.

You dont find anything in it counter intuitive?

Hopefully his encore will be much better than Jairus Byrd's encore.

The way to counter a good passing defense is with a solid running game. Spiller will have to step up along side Fred Jackson in order for Stevie and crew to up their play in 2011. With more than likely simplified defenses and offenses about to go mainstream in 2011 due to the lockout and lack of prep time, that should come easy. JMO

No, I don't. What do you think is counter intuitive? "Don't fool the QB"? I think that means to be where you are supposed to be. Fool the CB & get open then go to the spot the QB expects you to be at when he throws the ball.

Hopefully he has better hands this year.

He has plenty of time to work on catching the ball.

No, I don't. What do you think is counter intuitive? "Don't fool the QB"? I think that means to be where you are supposed to be. Fool the CB & get open then go to the spot the QB expects you to be at when he throws the ball.

The coach speaks of innovation, which is fine and I know he's talking about WR's who have multiple options on routes based on what they see pre-snap;
-Blitz? Strongside? Weakside?
-Press Coverage? Off Coverage?
-What are the safeties doing?

Things like that, however that kind of offense requires a very cerebral QB so that you don't fool the QB since the WR could do a multitude of different things on just one play call. His word choice just seemed ironic to me.

He wants his WR's to improvise (which isn't what he really means) but yet not fool his QB? I know what he means, like I said the quote just was interesting.

Gailey is going to run a complex offense with lots of options and routes, if Fitzy isnt the answer (and many believe he's not) whoever we bring in better be able to process it.
