Quick Passes

The first thing that the Buffalo Bills can do is get the ball out of Josh Allen’s hands quick on passing plays. This means utilizing more slants, quick outs, and passes to Devin Singletary in their play calling.

In the first two weeks, the vertical passing game has worked really well for the Buffalo Bills. It certainly makes sense when considering Josh Allen’s arm strength and the speed of Diggs and John Brown. In Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins, Allen was seven for eight for 246 yards and two touchdowns on throws 20 or more yards down field.

The issue is with these type of throws they take longer to develop and Aaron Donald is quick enough to break these plays up before they even get a chance to get started.

However, the speed of Brown and Diggs can be utilized on these slant routes and allow them to pick up yards after the catch. This should help keep the offense on track.
