If they struggle to tackle then we need to get the ball to Ja'mar as much as possible in space. It would be nice to have Hurst back for this game as he runs extremely hard after the catch.
I doubt we're going to just run over the Bills on the ground. Like has been said it's going to come down to QB play and which one has a better game passing. Plus they'll probably be 3 or 4 "big plays/turnovers" that decide the game. Key interception, blocked kick or punt, big sack, so on.
Both teams have few weaknesses to exploit. The individual matchups will be huge. Scheming is more about the individual matchups and recognizing your advantage that the play design. One of the most successful college OC’s told me one time you find the other teams individual player weakness or your individual player advantage. Then you scheme. I look for Hayden Hurst to go off. I think they’ve saved a bunch for him.
I don't care how we win. Just win.

I agree. A 7-yard pass to the TE, or an 8-yard screen to Perine is just as good as a 7 or 8-yard run. I think Hurst, Boyd, and the checkdown routes will be there.
The Bills have an aggressive defense and the way to slow them down is by taking the intermediate yards and dinking and dunking your away down the field. I'd like to see a 15-play drive, and then unleash the next drive. However we get it done, it still gets done!

Looking like you'll get your wish with Hurst.

I mean, I'd love to be wrong, but Taylor throws on 1st and goal from the 2. We threw it almost 60 times with a 22-0 halftime lead vs a team whose DE combo have the most combined sacks in the league. In short, he is overly pass happy.
And,,poor tackling can come into play on receivers, too. Miss a tackle on Chase and.......
Yeah, you're right about that. With a 22-0 halftime lead, I was a bit baffled as to why we didn't start playing some Jim Tressel ball for a few series. Also, we run the best when Volson, Karras, Cappa are involved. Running around the RT is high on the stat list but we're the most successful running between the Guards.

That's we get on here is to talk about football not trash our players nor our fans.

A little roasting for some predictions that seemed like they were from outer space is hardly "trashing" a fellow fan..
Just saw this is the biggest "win total" Monday Night Game in history

What specifically are you meaning here? Cincinnati has been quite poor running between the guards. On 116 attempts between the guards, Cincinnati is averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Certainly nothing to write home about.

Right, that is the same source I am using. That is why I am asking what you're trying to say, because between the guards is the worst performing area for Cincinnati.
Between the guards - 3.6 YPC
Everywhere else - 4.4 YPC

Left tackle is the worst YCO
Right Guard/ Center gap is 2.62 YCO 3rd best
Right End 4.25 YCO, but Collins is gone. Do you think #77 is going to get the job done?
I was looking at only the total yards and YPA numbers, but I see what you're saying using the YCO/A average with Collins in there.

I think you're looking at the wrong column, or maybe I am still misunderstanding what you're trying to communicate here. YCO is yards after contact. We're wanting to look at yards per attempt. At bare minimum, I am talking about YPA, not YCO.
Are you trying to talk about yards before contact by direction? Up the middle
is better there, but that isn't anything new. You'll always get more consistent yardage up the middle, but you will have less big plays (hence 3.6 yards per carry). Running to the tackles will net you bigger plays (hence 4.4 yards per carry), but also bigger losses, so a higher standard deviation.

This!! The coaches have been putting in a good game plan. Don't pull a Merv and try to be different all of a sudden. Bills know what we do and vice versa. No need to get off schedule. Just line up and play ball.
We'll take what they give and eat clock. That's what I've seen as the biggest improvement by the offense this year. I love seeing the 5 minute+ drives and the camera panning to opposition's sideline to capture their souls slowly evacuating their motionless husks.
