In this case, both receivers are the 1 read or region read. But Allen is checking the safety. The shoulder roll looks interesting but it will have no effect on the safety. Allen doesn't even bother reading the full region as you can see his head move to cheat towards where he can watch for Diggs to cross. JC Jackson is in trail coverage but is watching the QB instead of fully mirroring the WR and this allows enough space for Allen to complete the pass. Every Diggs TD in last night's game was intended for Diggs from the get go. Nothing wrong with it. Hell, Denver should have Lock watch Jeudy most of the time. It is something that KC will mess with if we play Buffalo again. It's not unique to Buffalo. This is the college game taking more and more space in the NFL. |

I didn't know that Andy schemed such a play for Mahomes as early as 2018 until this year. And you don't understand what I'm trying to say about the play design. In that design, the first receiver is never actually a receiver. He's a prop. It's misdirection designed into the play to manipulate the defense into hesitating/driving/whatever to create a window for the real receiver (2nd read). Kind of the same thing as running a fake screen with a T and a TE with no RB to draw the eyes of the LBs, while the real receiver is running whatever on the other side. Actually, Andy schemed up exactly such a play against BAL this year, I believe, where he ran a fake screen with the RB, that Patrick faked a throw to, and then flicked the ball to Kelce a few yards upfield and about 90 degrees North of the fake RB screen. It was obvious even during the in-game replay that the whole RB screen in the flat was a complete ruse. There was no read there; they were play-acting for the benefit of the defense.

The shoulder fake pulled the safety up top. You can literally see it on the All-22. As soon as Allen does it, the safety moves. If Davis was open, the ball was going there. In other words, if the safety moved toward Diggs, the ball was going toward Davis. Instead the safety moved toward Davis, and then the ball went to Diggs. |

He is not a prop, and running that same exact play, that receiver has gotten the ball in other game circumstances. It depends how the safety plays it. Which is why Allen does the shoulder fake (to pull the safety). I’m talking about the Bills play, I haven’t seen the Chiefs play you’re referring to. |

Lots of Buffalo WRs are window dressing. Davis is in this case. But again region reads can include 2 WRs, it is still one read, just one not really done in this case. |

But it’s still a first read. A first read is the first receiver a QB looks at. You might be confusing a first read with an intended receiver, or hot receiver (if blitz). Two completely different things. An intended receiver is often not a first read. For reasons you mentioned earlier. |

Another Reid special is to trot two OLs out there on a fake screen and have Pat pretend to 'read' and pump fake at it. Can't be a first read if there's no receiver to throw at, right? It's just window-dressing for the defense. And as your HC is a former Andy Reid asst., I pretty much guarantee that he knows about it.

Every QB has strengths and weaknesses. Allen is being maximized by Brian Daboll who is using Allen wonderfully. Unlike many of your fans I will give proper credit to your OC. He deserves a head coaching chance. |

I’ll have to take your word on it. But the play the Bills ran, the ball would have went to Davis if he was open He wasn’t a prop and it’s not the first time they’ve run that play. They ran almost the exact play against the Chiefs, except Diggs was in Davis spot (it was flipped). Last edited by diqlix; 12-29-2020 at 09:51 PM.. |

I played football and we never used that terminology and i’ve never seen it used in the NFL. I think what you’re referring to is a high/low read. With a high/low read, the QB has two intersecting WR’s of varying depths, and depending on where the safety goes, dictates where the ball will goes. Still, one player has to be looked at first. Unless your quarterback has robot eyes that can see 180’degrees in clarity. In this play, Allen clearly read Davis first before switching to Diggs after the shoulder fake. |
