Buffalo Bills

Offense

The Bills’ offense is perfect for players who like to mix two HBs into their game plan. If you can commit to running the ball and keeping your backs fresh, you will have great success.

Key Formation

Buffalo has an excellent formation with the Dbls Wing Offset Wk. This allows you to run inside or outside to set up quick throws to the edge. Use this formation to get your fastest playmakers a mismatch on the outside.

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

• HB (SPD, ACC, ELU)
• WR (SPD, ACC, RLS)

Defense

The Bills’ playbook has always been built around solid defensive linemen and fast edge rushers. However, you can add more blitzes to your game plan with a new coach in town.

Look to the Nickel 2-4-5 Even as a formation where you can get the most out of your lineup. The 3-3-5 Wide is also an option if you are more comfortable and want to shut down the edge runs.
