Something that really stood out at last week's game.....

[Dr. Lecter]

The Bills WR's are terrible at blocking, especially with Woods out of the line-up. They were not able to block the corners, especially Cromartie, at all. A number of times that Spiller tried to break the run to the outside, he was contained by a Jets CB after a whiffed block (Easley did this a few times).

Certainly the O-line (re: Legursky and Pears) had their issues too. However on more than one ocassion, had the Jets CB been blocked, Spiller could have had some room to get the edge and at least make a modest gain if not more.

Well, do you think the fact the Jets have a TOP RATED Run Defense might have anything to do with that?

It MIGHT. But I am JUST relaying what I SAW sitting at THE game last SUNDAY. The WR's had a pretty BAD day BLOCKING.

If you want speedy receivers, you're going to have to sacrifice something.

Well, I think there is NO DOUBT. You can blame a GREAT Jets defense for making the Bills WR's look terrible at blocking.

Was that that great NYJ defense that gave up 20 straight points in the 2nd quarter, or another great NYJ defense?

I was talking about the run defense, which is what this thread is about, that held the Bills to well under 100 yds for the game.

And even after the Bills game, the Jets have the # 8 defense overall.

hard to block a cb when they are behind you ,trying to keep up.

Well, in watching the blocking, the technique and positioning was terrible.

This might come as a shock to you, but sometimes actually watching what is happening at the game can be revealing.

I can only watch what is televised. What I saw on TV was Graham & Goodwin running past Jets CB's all game.

You will get nowhere here if you try to discuss nuance.

Re: Something that really stood out at last week's game.....

And that is part of my point here.

So, you would rather have the Bills waste an inordinate amount of time teaching SMALL YOUNG WR's how to block rather than spend as much time as possible teaching them how to get separation & run routes?

Lecter thinks that Goodwin was running deep to make a block at the endzone when he caught that TD.
