It's 2nd and 8 ( after a daunting 2 yard run up the middle by WM).

Buffalos offense alignment is 80 and 83 split wide, single TE and split backs.

Heres the question, what, as a defensive coor. would you do and why?

I would call a play action short pass, either to a running back or tight end, maybe a slot wide receiver. Set up either a 1st down, or a 3rd and short.

As the opposing DC, I would call the "Metrocard" defense, i.e., insert your metrocard into the turnstiles and proceed towards the QB.

4 - 3 defense.

OLB blitzes on the side without the TE. The other OLB plays man on the TE while the middle LB plays zone in the middle and watches for screens. Both CBs play man on the two WRs and the safeties play zone behind the CBs.

I would set up in this alignment to cover for the pass (which we've tended to do more than running). The blitzing LB will put pressure on the QB but there aren't enough blitzers to leave the defense exposed for a big gain. Also a run here won't be too devastating with the middle LB watching and the 2 safeties keeping an eye on things.

Who are the Bills playing? Personnel would play a big part into what play I'm calling.

Oh sorry, defensive coordinator, right.....

4-3 base defense, cover 2 zone, zone blitz, make sure you cover the quick slants and back out of the backfield.

In a 4-3 set I would play man 2 man. Showing blitz at the line, my safeties would be playing zone and I would be pressuring up the gut.
