I put a lot of effort in writing up a detailed summary of what I seen with our run defense, focusing on the defensive tackles. Seemed to be getting a lot of traction and creating good debate, which is what I thought this forum was about.
But some little puke(mod) put a stop to it, I assume because they disagree with me. I put my time in so maybe fellow Bills fans can get a little value from it. Never again will I waste my time.
I assume this will be deleted ASAP .. Can't criticise the almighty mods lol .. Some communist BS

L Bell, S Barkley and J Mixon all had same opportunity against this defensive front. Tell me Coach, what was different from then to now?
And how would you fix this horrible defense?
You are weirdly defensive over something you have no control over ..
1. Just because we stopped some guys doesn't mean the tackles played well.
2. I never said our defense is horrible, I think we have elite DBs and good coaches. I already mentioned I like the linebackers.

It's my understanding that our DTs job is to stay in their gaps and clog up the o-line to make sure they can't get to the LBs on the 2nd level, not shed blocks to try and make a play. We play gap control team defense. When everyone holds their gap there's nowhere for the RB to go.
In your research did you find what adjustments we made in games? Last week AP ran for over 100 in the 1st half. We shut him down in the 2nd. Against the Giants Barkley ran for like 70 on the 1st drive then shut him down too.
You are right. Some defenses like Schwarts' have the D-line always attacking. We use our guys to eat up blocks so our backers can fly to the ball. But every defense is a gap crontrol defense. And no matter what defense you run, you can's have guys being moved off their spot and not shedding blocks. I teach my guys to hold the patch of grass that's in their gap. Can't get moved back or sideways, Have to dominate the LOS.
I was focusing more on individual players than scheme or what wen't wrong. But from what I seen, it was simply guys hitting the wrong gap and being moved out off their spot. There were a few plays that first half where we clearly didn't have a body in the gap. Tough to say where it went wrong without knowing the play called.

How are you going to throw Harrison Phillips under the bus. Run defense was better when he was playing
I was actually very interested to see if he was the difference. He's just average right now IMO.

So our entire D line sucks? Just trying to clarify. ?
I think our ends are ok. Hughes is good, but is double teamed all day and has never been a double team beater. Again I think Zo would be more help playing end/edge rusher.

These defensive tackles are no good.
The drought was dreadful, but we had 2 bright spots.. Fred and Kyle. Fred was a good player, but Kyle was great! We have been spoiled with good defensive tackle play for years, and I think we have almost come to expect it. This group we have has been a major disappointment.
I’ve gone back and re-watched the games focusing on the backers and d-line. Edmunds and Milano haven’t been perfect but they are good enough. These tackles simply cannot get off blocks. Here is a brief breakdown of what I’ve seen.
Star
Wow he’s bad! He comes off the line ok, but stops driving his feet and has a terrible habit of allowing his pads to be turned sideways. For a big guy he doesn’t seem that strong and gets moved fairly easily. I guess I just don’t see what they see, definitely not a starter.
Oliver
This has been discussed. Still a rookie, but he looks out of place. He either needs to add weight to play tackle or lose some and play end. Maybe a DE in a 3-4. I can also see him being like a James Harrison. Definitely a great athlete and a decent pass rusher right now. I’m still optimistic but…..
Jordan Phillips
Our best guy so far, but maybe a little over-hyped because of the sacks. Lacks the consistency to get too excited about. Pad level is often too high, he gets away with it because of his size.
Harrison Phillips
I got him as our 2nd best guy. Like Jordan he also plays with pad level too high(worst than Jordan) but unlike Jordan lacks the size to get away with it. He is actually pretty strong and has good instincts. Can see him developing into a top DT but he’s not there yet. Hopefully he’s recovering well.
Lorenzo
You may have notices we line Zo up in the DT 3-tech spot on passing downs. I think this tells you something about our tackles. The results haven’t been there. I love Zo but I can’t help but feel that we always play him out of position. He exploded on the scene primarily as an edge rusher. But we have been using him either as an off the line LB or a DT.
Peko was the worst one, but he’s gone. Jury is still out on the new guy Taylor #96, nothing really jumped out at me.
Overall they all give pretty good effort and seem to be “process guys”. Jordan and Harrison would make good backups, but have been clearly better than Star and Oliver, so it’s puzzling why Star and Oliver were the starters. Hopefully the new guy is good but I’m losing faith in this staff and their ability to scout and coach defensive tackles.

Say what you want about Fitz. He manages to have some unexpected big games. I'd much rather face Rosen.

I too believe this to be the case, but he still does some mind-bendingly stupid things.
Like, the no-huddle wrecked the Patriots on the TD drive, then we don't see it again. Why?
The one I'm stuck on is having Lee Smith running an out and up on 3rd and 15(I think) on one of the biggest plays in the game.
Why was he even on the field. Dawson would have shredded that linebacker.

Allow me to remind Bills fans that in his 6 years as an NFL offensive coordinator for four different teams Brian Daboll has never fielded better than 23rd. in passing yards!
2009 Cleveland (5-11) Points for 29, Yards for 32. Passing yards that season 32nd
2010 Cleveland (5-11). PF 31, YF 29. Passing yards that season 29th
2011 Miami (6-10). PF 20, YF 22. Passing yards that season 23rd
2012 Kansas (2-12) PF 32, YF 24. Passing yards that season 32nd
2018 Buffalo (6-10) PF 30, YF 30. Passing yards that season 31st.
2019 Buffalo (3-0) PF 17, YF 8. Passing yards in the first three games 19th
The Buffalo Bills just played the NE Patriots with the #1 defense in points allowed, #1 in yards allowed. The Bills scored the very first TD against that defense this season. The 2018 SB winners with pro bowl, all pro ex Bills CB Stephon Gilmore!
So what does Brian Daboll call in that first series against that defense ...Pass, incomplete, Pass, incomplete, 5 yard penalty (no play), Run, Run, Penalty (center ineligible downfield?) Penalty TE Lee Smith. 1st and 20 at Buffalo 30, Daboll calls for a deep middle pass to John Brown INT!
Line playing poorly, penalties, and with Gore the Bills should should have come out running. Bills Blocked punt for 7 pts... Missed FG. Turnover on downs. Out coached on offense!
and here is a list of the QB's he had to work with
Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Colt McCoy, Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore, Chad Henne, Matt Cassell. Daboll is the best OC we have had in years.

Whyyy is Lee on the field on that play?

I think they should keep giving him free runs at the QB. I want to see the emergency QB come in and REALLY showcase Gase's offensive genius.
If I was an offensive genius I would block defensive ends on passing plays .. Even the not so good ones
Should I apply to the Jets Jets Jets?
-
They should block Garrett .. Maybe

I'm one of those fool.
I went to a preseason in Toronto but I don't count that. I'm in Canada and don't like crossing the boarder.

I got lucky and bough these old dressers online from an auction. I got the 2 for like $200. After researching them I realized they are actually probably worth in the thousands. But I'll never sell them, they are gorgeous and so well made. Crazy what a difference quality craftsmanship makes.
Lane Altavista is the company that made them which is no longer around. Mine are from 1984.

I cook with coal a lot, definitely get a charcoal starter. Saves you time, energy and you'll get perfect coals every time.
Lighter fluids will ruin the taste and can be dangerous. Lady my mom knows got burned this year at a picnic.
and that's the bbq I got .. it was like $300 brand new and you get both gas and coal/smoker.

They were about to get hit with a HUGE lawsuit for anti-consumer practices.
They did not sell the debt, as any attempt to profit from it would also trigger the lawsuit. None of the communications from Chase say they are moving/selling the debt. They all only say that the debts have been wiped and take it as a gift.
Basically, they decided it was cheaper to wipe the debts than to deal with/settle the lawsuit.

Wow, you were right! That's incredible. I still can't underatand why they wouldn't sell the debt!? But it's nice to see the little guy win

I got the same issue with my feet. If I start running around after not being active for a while, I get massive blisters that cover almost the whole bottom of my feet. Mine never looked as bad as his though damnn.
Very uncomfortable but he'll be just fine

Canada is crazy, with your 110 yard field. Giant endzones with goalposts in the endzone. 3 downs instead of 4. And don't get me started on the rouge
Lol the field is actually like 150 yards with the end zones. But the craziest part about the Canadian game is how every eligible player can motion and move around. So much harder to defend.
If you like an offensive game, then you would like Canadian football. I'd love to see and CFL game with NFL talent to see how it would look.

I'm reading posts all over reddit today by Canadians who received their debt forgiveness letters today. Some $500, some $1500, some $5000...
Chase is forgiving debt, cutting their loses, and getting out of town in order to avoid a major lawsuit. It's easier for them to forgive that debt than try to get the money.
The major question is no one is sure how the forgiveness might affect taxes.
Hmmm I'm seeing it too, but no reliable sources. Mostly people online. I hope it's true but I still don't believe it. Like I said they can simply sell it to another bank or debt buyer like the company I work for and move on .. I'd like to know what they report to the credit bureau.
The more I think about it. I think they have likely sold it already and that's why it has been "forgiven". These people will likely receive a letter from their new creditor soon.

I mean, 2 crimes sensationalized in Fox News links across an entire country, aint exactly that huge.
I'd say the bigger Canadian news is Chase Bank getting kicked out and any Canadian with a Chase credit card having their current balance completely forgiven!
I hope some of you had some big balances that are going away!
I've literally never met anyone here that banks with Chase. I've only seen a handful of locations. We have some Banking GIANTS up here that actually own many American banks. They took over after the banking disaster you guys had.
Also, I've been in the credit and collections industry for 15 years now. I will GUARANTEE the debts will not be forgiven. They will likely be purchased by a bank up here. Probably TD.

Up here in Canada we like to look at the crazy shh you Americans do and pretend like we're not crazy too.. But some lunacy has been happening up here. I might have to move further north!!
First we had those two kids playing real life Grand Theft Auto, killing 3 people, stealing cars and evading police and even the Canadian Army(which is probably 3 guys on a Canoe).

Now some gamer kid killed his whole family and posted the pics on a gaming forum, because he didn't want them to be ashamed of him since he's been skipping University. WTF
