When Gailey began fitting his offense around performing personnel in the early portions of the 2010 season, he molded his passing offense to Johnson's style. Rather than tell his receivers to run a specific route, Gailey mandates that his receivers be in a specific spot at a particular time, allowing the creative types like Johnson to get there in whatever fashion they see fit. That allows the passing attack to maintain a sense of timing and rhythm without limiting Johnson's ability to create separation with his natural talents.


Anderson, apparently, rushes the passer in much the same way. Reporters on scene to witness him working this spring have noted his quick feet, explosion and sudden changes in tempo while he's been working against tackles, breaking down a blocker in much the same way Johnson can break down a cover corner. But just like Johnson still has responsibilities - he's not simply winging it out there - so, too, does Anderson still need to freelance within the context of the system that defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt is implementing. It hasn't been a problem thus far, per Gailey.

I think Ocho Cinco would have played much better in Buffalo with Chans offense than he did on the Pats*. Also, John Clayton said both the Jets & Pats* switched from the 3-4 to the 4-3 because of the offense the Bills run.

Interesting since the Bills had the toughest time against the 3-4.

Well, when 3-4 teams played the Bills, they didn't really play the 3-4 because there is no way 4 LBs on the field can cover 3 or 4 WRs. Those teams had to play in their nickle defense the entire game, subbing safetys for LBs.

The Bills' struggles vs the 3-4 were at their peak back when Trent was QB. He had no clue at all on how to face that D.
