Bills Run "D" better than you think
I've been hearing how one of the only weaknesses in the NE game was our run D. Did anyone else notice that the only time they got yards on the run was when we commanded the game and basically let them run it? I think we have a nasty run D and I'm sure most of you do too!

Leads? Yeah, sure. I'll...uh...just check with the boys down at the crimelab. Yeah, they got four more detectives on the case....we're working in shifts!" -

Taylor is as good a test as it gets.. if we stop him, we can stop anyone.Comment

As I stated elsewhere, I think Pat and Ted will take what Faulk and Centers did to them personally. I expect Taylor to finish with around 65 - 70 yards.Still searching for that offensive rhythm.Comment

YES! the only time they were able to run was when we were in a 2 or 3 score lead and we were playing the pass.... they didn't do anything (literally) until the middle part of the 2nd Q. and that was when we gave them some of the underneath stuffComment

if we could splash taylor with some wing sauce as he runs onto the field, sam and pat wont let him get past the line of scrimmage."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie HoweComment

Re: Bills Run "D" better than you think
The Pats were only able to run when the Bills were playing the pass and had Edwards and Kelsay in at DT. By way of comparison, Larry Centers had a BETTER YPC average (7.2 versus 6.2) than Faulk.Originally posted by IHateTheDullphins

You know it! The only way Centers ever runs like that is in "garbage time." We will be stout against the run with Sam, Pat, and a developing Ron Edwards in the middle.Originally posted by Doc

But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

No this is not an original thought. It is conventional wisdom. When you have a big lead you defend against the pass and let the other team's offence have some success running the ball, thereby eating up the clock. Kevin Faulk's success worried me a little until I realized what was happening. Faulk got yards when there were three Bills close to the line (vs 5 O-linemen and sometimes a FB) and everyone else was backed off in coverage. Antowain Smith would have gotten good yardage under those circumstances.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment

So, who was it that gave me crap at Brennan's for saying that most of NE's rushing yards were "garbage yards?" Down by three TD's, they were able to run because the Bills' D was already in a semi-prevent mode. I see that others agree with me now.Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"
