CRA's view of EJ's week 1

Recommended Posts

Just watched every throw EJ took against the Pats and I have a couple thoughts.

-Overwhelming majority of his throws looked to be about 2 yards down field...lot of RB/TE or cross WR

- then he lobs one downfield. Accuracy looked bad on about half of those.

- He is big and he will run.

So my take? I actually think he gets the ball out quick. He looks to have his mind made up he is taking he short route or check down pretty early on. He also seemed he had his deep ball planned as soon as the ball was snapped and where it was going

I think the fact he looks to go short so quick so often it could play against our pass rush.

That mean those short garbage throws are things we need to take away from him.

Live or die with him beating our weak secondary....

Short quick throws hurt our pass rush, but very much help against our sub-par secondary. As long as we aren't giving an 8 yard cushion like we did on 85% of plays last year, i think we could be alright

I would expect the bills to try to utilize Spillers quickness in space with little screens in the flat.

if the D plays like it did against seattle, i don't think manuel has near as much time as he did against the pats. spiller is a guy we definitely need to keep a spy on, though...right up TD's ally.

 

i foresee several more forced throws and mistakes in this game as opposed to what they had against the pats. i wouldn't be surprised to see us hold them to 10 or less offensive points...which might be really helpful if our offense doesn't get cooking.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
