New England Patriots

Gun Ace Pair Flex-Pats Smash Stick

The New England Patriots and MVP QB Tom Brady love to get their Tight End's involved in the offense as rookies Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez combined to haul in 16 touchdown passes. On this play, the two Tight Ends will line up to the right side of the formation and run a stick concept while the backside receivers will run a hitch/corner or smash. This is a quick and easy read for Brady and is a common play used early in the game to help get the offense in a rhythm.

New York Jets

Dollar 3-2-6 Zero Blitz

The New York Jets arguably are the most aggressive defensive team in the NFL. The Jets strong play at the cornerback positions gives them the ability to blitz frequently while using zero coverage in the secondary. Dollar 3-2-6 Zero Blitz is a six man blitz scheme that employs zero coverage meaning there's no deep safety help in the secondary.

Miami Dolphins

3-4 Cross 3 Fire

The Miami Dolphins 3-4 scheme takes full advantage of the depth they have at the linebacker position. The Dolphins use a variety of stunts and blitzes with their front seven to keep opposing offenses off balance. 3-4 Cross 3 Fire calls for both inside linebackers to blitz while crossing each other's path.

Buffalo Bills

Strong Slot Bills-Bills Go's RB Cross

The Buffalo Bills were one of the few teams in the NFL to use the Pistol formation during the past season. In this Pistol set, the Bills try for a big play down the field by streaking both outside wide receivers and putting the slot receiver on a deep dig route. This route combination will force the defense to drop off to cover the deep routes, and if they do, it will allow the running backs to be open underneath on crossing routes.

I think these video's are from an earlier build. No blue endzones for the bills (might not be in the game at all), last year's uniform in the photo, not to mention no team logo above Fitzpartrick's name on the new uniforms.

The end zones in Buffalo are blue in the game. Check out the 49-second mark of the video.

Also, last year's uniforms apparently are in (along with the new ones), which is expected. They usually include older uniforms that have been in the game rather than take them out when a team gets a new set.

Spanky I believe that is the blue lettering, not the blue endzones with the new white lettering.
