Notes fron Bills at Panthers First Half
Many people are pointing to the injuries to the linebackers as the cause for such a poor run defense.
What the real problem is that the defensive tackles are not playong well.
The one over whelming thing is that the defensive tackles are not keeping offensive linemen off the linebackers when they get double teamed.
In a double team two offensive linemen block a defensive linemen and then one breaks off after a scond or two to go block the linebackers.
A defensive lineman’s duty is when doubled keep either of the two from releasing to the linebackers.
However, the defensive line is allowing free releases to the linebacker.
Also, wide receiver Terrell Owens is killing this team as he so many play killing drives.
In the end the Bills are a mess.
