<\/a><\/p>\nThe Bills are showing a 1-high look with the safety and only have five defenders in the box, including just one linebacker and four down linemen. The defense here suggests that they\u2019re mostly concerned with the Jags passing, and it\u2019s an even more curious defensive box considering it\u2019s a 3rd and 2 for Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
The Jags have an ideal play call for this defense. Inside Zone should be able to slice through a five-man box all day long. It\u2019s even easier that, due to the defensive line\u2019s alignment, that the center is able to go straight to backer and get an easy block on him.<\/p>\n
Singleback – 11 Personnel – Crack Toss – Gain of 20<\/p>\n
This time the Bills are still showing a 1-high look with the safety, except they now have a six-man box, bringing in an additional linebacker and floating a safety down just outside of the box. This is on 1st and 10 for the Jags, so the Bills are probably inclined to be playing the run.<\/p>\n The Jags get a far-side receiver on a motion, forcing the backers to flow to the left, and then the Jags run the Crack Toss to the right. The right side defensive tackle actually does a good job playing this run, flowing with the right guard and making him unable to get to the outside as quick as he\u2019d like. And given the motion, the Jags just have the straight-up numbers advantage here on the edge and it takes the backside of the defense having to make a play downfield.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll have the same thought for the next Crack Toss play we take a look at: if the Broncos can\u2019t dominate the Bills with their Pin and Pull concepts, then I\u2019ll be disappointed. I think Denver runs that concept the best in the league, and they have better, more athletic linemen that can get to the boundary quicker. This play should be a big one for Denver.<\/p>\n Singleback – 11 Personnel – Outside Zone – Gain of 14<\/p>\n Before the motion, the Jags already have the Bills right where they want them. Buffalo is playing what\u2019s close to a 2-high look by the safeties and the two linebackers in the six-man box are playing over to the strong side with a defensive back coming into the box to fill for the shifting linebackers.<\/p>\n The Jags do a great job up front with getting the Bills defensive line moving laterally, opening up a massive cutback lane. The Buffalo linebackers flow fast, but end up getting just a touch too far over the top, helping open up that cutback lane.<\/p>\n Outside Zone is another play that the Broncos have been running frequently over the last few weeks, and it\u2019s a run play that backup center Alex Forsyth typically executes well. This play could be a reliable one for the Broncos, as opposed to their usual Inside Zone looks.<\/p>\n Singleback – 11 Personnel – Inside Zone Swipe (?) – 13<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
