McDermott does tend to play vanilla at times against teams he thinks Buffalo will just out talent/class. This difference in D coverages between NE and CLE was about a 180. Bills were throwing all sorts looks at Maye in the 2nd half including using mixed and odd Mirror coverages against NE and way less zone that Maye was clearly not prepared for. Milano was used as a spy in a lot of the odd mirror looks and Buffalo ran a lot of blitz's in their normal alignment they don't normally call. I didn't see nearly as much of that yesterday although we did call some more blitzes from what I saw in the 2nd half including a safety one that took about an hour to develop and was useless.

My assumption is they probably didn't want to show all that much in advance of the Eagles game but that run D seems unfixable, it's horrific. We also fall for every misdirection or screenplay ever created, especially our DE's. Hopefully Shaq Thompson is healthy, he's been oru best LB by far and the D fell apart a bit when he went out. Milano is starting to show flashes of his old self again. I think if your Bufalo your roll with THompson and Milano as the starters in Nickel because Bernard is not healthy, he looks lost out there.

I don't have an answer for the run D. The DT spot has been hit or miss since ED went down. Walker has played pretty well but beyond that it's been a mess. They really need to get that shored up next year. Gonna need some reinforcements either via the draft or FA as Daquan, Ogunjobi and Phillips will all surely be gone.
