This is a phenomenal post and I could hear Snake saying it. You deserve more likes for this than are possible to give

Tune in right now with anything you have on your mind and strap in for some film that may be less than enjoyable in several spots haha

Live tonight 9p EST Disguised Coverage dives into the tape to detail the struggles for the Buffalo Bills defense: execution, over communication, hurried play, individual breakdowns, and how it all ties into what Jim Leonhard wants to do Link: buff.ly/DWhE92D

Patriots motion to a stack, which causes Hairston to play off. This means Hairston (given the down & distance of 4th & 3) should ideally not give further ground and should sit at his depth

I think down the stretch they can be a 14-19 kind of defense. 12th would be a strong ceiling for me, but possible

…You could make the case that we see from the Bills defense this year, the inverse of what we’ve seen in previous seasons. Where this time the defense struggles through the regular season, and is a better version of themselves come playoff time

…I still think the ceiling is capped for the defense this year because of the body types/positional archetypes they do and don’t have, but more snaps together could = working through the growing pains…

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 16h

…this is happening especially in match/rules based coverages and muddying overall individual techniques. Good news is there is a chance these things could improve (in theory) as time passes…

2) Guys are getting to spots instead of reading and reacting. Often too fast. You can almost see them thinking in coverage as they overplay an angle or hurry to get to “their responsibility”, and that can create voids in coverage/space in the process….

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 16h

1) Communication is happening almost right up until the snap and it’s frantic. Guys aren’t aligning and/or seeing the same thing, and/or are trying to figure things out on the fly too much. It’s multiple people presenting possible answers but also not looking sure in the answers they’re presenting

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 16h

Two big things that show up on tape for the Bills defense vs the Patriots (and in previous games) is over communication and guys playing rushed/hurried

Terrel Bernard (8) closing the door on the Fullback in the hole

The adjustment was scheme for any team/coach. Hairston gave cushion because the Pats motioned to a stack. The pedaling back could be taught or Hairston. I’m gonna dive into that and a ton more tonight on the show at 9

Nice job by Landon Jackson (94) working through the LT (66) at the point of attack and getting in on the stop. Bills defensive support also helps force the ball inside to allow him to make the play

Fun coverage spin from Jim Leonhard and the Bills defense. Quarters drop 8 from a 3-high 3 Safety look, with the middle Safety playing as a high hole/top down middle hook player. Also has a low hole player that can function as a quasi spy

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 19h

He definitely works into the block. Carter getting bodied is a big one. And that seems to continue to not get noticed by anyone. He’s on the ground as much as he is succeeding this year, throughout multiple games, and no one seems to notice even when it’s on tape haha.

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 19h

This is a microcosm of where the Bills defense is at mentally right now. Look at the communication. It’s frantic, not decisive, and up to the last minute. Also note the body language with how hurried it all is + the lack of confidence/understanding

Cole Bishop (24) closing the door on the Fullback, which turns the RB sideways into the hole, helping the backers to fit for the stop

Quarterbacks don’t matter. All that matters is running the football and not running the football. I won’t be taking further questions at this time

Deone Walker (96) insta win on the snap with the swim move vs the RG, but the Bills don’t maintain rush lane integrity/contain and Maye escapes for a chunk gain

Bills offense weeks 1-3 vs week 4 Weeks 1-3: 40% play action rate (1st) 32.1% 13 personnel (2nd) 57.6% under center rate (2nd) Week 4 vs NE 31.4% play action rate (11th) 13% 13 personnel (6th) 48.1% under center (8th)

The Patriots converted 12 of 26 second down plays into first downs vs the Bills, a conversion rate of 46.1%. Weeks 1-3 the Patriots second down conversion rate was 25% (15/59). The league average conversion rate across the league this year on second down is 33% Data per @sumersports.bsky.social

Josh Allen playing QB from the neck up and in total control from start to finish, leading to an easy completion & conversion on a 3rd & 6

Good ball placement from Maye while getting hit on the throw

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

DEFs often lock the backside of 3x1s in both single high and two high looks. Here Hairston (1) is locked vs Doubs backside with the field side of the Bills having the numbers playing 4 over 3. Doubs wins backside *Nice forklift from Greg Rousseau (15)*

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Physical and willing play at the point of attack from Bradley Chubb (9), Terrel Bernard (8), and Dorian Williams (42)

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Drake Maye fumbles the snap, still carries out the play fake, then jump throws back across his body for the completion

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Landon Jackson (94) using his length to his advantage while playing gap and a half And good work from Dorian Williams (42) to come up and meet the TE and stay clean immediately by pressing him off + making the stop

020

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Good work from Ed Oliver (91) to not get displaced by the double while Terrel Bernard (8) triggers and makes the stop. Chubb (9) in control vs the TE too

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I’m diving into the full tape tonight and tomorrow. I will say that as of what I’ve seen thus far, he wasn’t seeing the field great. And he combined that will multiple moments of pressing and hurried play (sometimes for seemingly no reason)

010

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Earlier in the game on a 4th & 3 the Bills run a non traditional Tampa 2 simulated pressure, which gets a free runner from the slot. Maye drifts & hits Doubs comfortably in the hole as there’s too much between Bishop in the flat (cloud) & Hairston deep 1/2

Buffalo Bills defense EPA/play allowed and success rate allowed by down: 1st down -24th EPA/play (+0.06) -21st SR (45.8%) 2nd down -27th EPA/play (+0.12) -30th SR (52.7%) 3rd down -10th EPA/play (-0.22) -14th SR (40.7%)

This isn’t overly complicated, so I would say yes. But it would appear not haha

Deone Walker (96) having the LG fighting for his life as he drives him into the backfield but Maye makes the throw and converts

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

A non traditional Tampa 2 creeper from the Bills. Hamlin (3) rushes, Chubb (9) drops, Bishop (24) is a cloud player into the boundary w/ IGB (21) deep half. This is a taste of Leonhard getting creative & also an example of maybe why he doesn’t get creative

291

Anthony (game script enthusiast) @proant.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Deone Walker (96) getting on the same page with Chubb pre-snap, then crushing the LT post snap as the spiker on a TEX stunt. Heats up Maye into the check down on 3rd and very long

Tetarioa McMillan's 147 receiving yards are tied for the ninth-most in a game by any pass catcher this season, per TruMedia. There's still another half left.

Gabe Jacas (50) blowing up Dawkins off the left edge leading to Josh Allen blindly throwing the ball away (interior pressure from Cory Durden (94) also helps lead to the blind throw away as well)
