Buffalo Bills Onto Week 3 at Miami

[Der Jaeger]

I am not worried about Hill and Waddle getting behind the defense with or without Hyde/Dane. McDermott and Frazier will make sure that doesn't happen.

What I AM worried about is Hill and Waddle getting immediate separation and turning 5 yard receptions into much bigger plays (see what Burks did early last night). Hill's done that to us in the past.

McDaniel's offense is a modern Shanahan horizontal timing offense. The Bills will be stretched laterally be the zone runs, but Milano and Edmunds should be able to help string things out. I'm mostly concerned with the cut back runs. Zone based defenses with one gap assignments get gutted by big runs (see Bills last season), and Miami's run scheme can do that.

The Bills zone should be able to keep everything in front of them, but Benford and Elam have never seen speed like Hill and Waddle. Going to be a test.

The Bills offense needs to be efficient. Put up points and don't get too cute.

Any updates on Hyde or Phillips? Hoping we get Gabe and Ed back next week.
