Watching Miami just reminded me...
When I was watching the Bills yesterday (and actually, at numerous times over the course of the season), it seems the blitz was ALWAYS mistimed. They were bringing LB's or DB's up to the line of scrimmage, the QB would use a hard count, and they would have to slow down.
When I watch a GOOD defense, they either stack the box so everyone is close enough to the LOS that they can blitz without moving up, or the blitzer times the blitz properly (at least a good portion of the time).
This is one reason why the Bills can't get pressure on the opposing QB. Maybe they just don't have the talent, but it's something I hope they can fix with 2 weeks off.
