Waiting for the game to start and I’m looking back at some old game film, this shot from the 2009 Bills opener. This was always a defensive front that intrigued me and it was one we only saw in limited use in 2009.

Technically it’s a 4-3, with the defensive line Warren-Wilfork-Wright-Green. Obviously the defensive left is a brick wall, while the defensive right are two pretty good pass rushing defensive ends. Remember this is the year they got rid of Seymour.

Whereas in most 4-3s the outside linebackers would be off the line of scrimmage, here they are on it, as if they were 3-4 OLBs.

All of this leaves one MLB in the middle of the field. I’ve asked a couple X and O guys who are smarter than me about it but have never gotten a clear explanation of what’s going on here.

Former Patriots receiver Troy Brown said discipline is the only way for receivers to thrive in the offense. “Discipline in route-running — not rounding out, not coming back to the ball, all the little things you don’t always think about,” Brown said. “Taking care of your body. Eating right. Being accountable. All those things are part of discipline.”
