    Why Landon Jackson is the next MONSTER in the NFL

    I think the Bills are looking at some changes schematically and it began last year. It started with selecting Soloman in the draft, a much smaller quicker pass rusher than what they typically go for. Then there is the fact that the Bills began playing more man coverage throughout the year. And now drafting a CB with off the charts speed that can play man. Also, drafting another 3 tech DT when everyone thought it would be a 1 tech. The Bills still like their scheme, but it seems they are gradually mixing things up and we are going to see more of that this year.

     

    There is a lot of conversation about how other defenses have adapted to stop a Josh Allen led offense. With the way Buffalo's defense performed last year, perhaps it has become clear that offenses have found ways to combat a Bill's defense. I'm just speculating, but I have a hunch the new additions aren't just replacements for a specific defensive scheme. It seems to be about scheme diversity. These additions allow the Bills to mix up not only types of coverage but also defensive line rotations with guys that have different skill-sets. The potential is there for the Dline to wreak some havoc by mixing up the scheme and the type of player on that line. Not sure how they intend to do it. It does look like they can be more flexible now though. To me Landon Jackson is just another piece that allows for a diverse rotation.

    I agree with your points, opponents have indeed been figuring out out defense, as an example, our third and fourth down inability to get off the field, imo, a schematic change on defense has been needed for some time now, I so hope with the coaching additions, along with player acquisitions that our defense will be put in a position to succeed, which has not been the case over the last couple of seasons, jmo.

    I don't know why but I think this is the year, weird strong feeling going on.

    I don't know what's been going on with me since the draft but I get this weird, like small butterfly feelings in my stomach thinking about the upcoming season.  

    This has never happened to me before.  Usually I lose interest in football after the Bills are out, gain it back right before draft and free agency....then think about other things until late July.  

     

    But it's early May and I have the same exciting feeling the Saturday eve before the opener...which means it will take forever in my head for the season to get here.

    I think they do it this year....I really do.

     

    Any of you feeling weird like me right now?

     

    And no, I'm not drunk.

    Am I high?  Maybe.  

    I feel ya man, It’s as if Tom Grossi was scripting an outcome that we have all longed for…,

    A little Biblical wisdom seems appropriate here:

     

        Proverbs 29:25 (KJV):

     

               The fear of man brings a snare,

     

        Or this newer translation (NLT) captures it well . . .

     

                 Fearing people is a dangerous trap,

     

    Fear is the mind killer,

    Insane stat--if true

    Well our defense has been a turnstile in the playoffs pretty much annually, just look at third & fourth down results, Beane did what he had to do, now, in theory, with new coaches and new player acquisitions, we may very well have a chance at a better result with our defense, and overall team success, always hoping for the best 👍

    Why? They weren't in on him. They have Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, Jalen Royals, Skyy Moore, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton. Hanging on every move they make, don't make, and expressing thanks for moves that they weren't ever going to make is taking the fear of them too far. 

    Yeah, but all those guys suck…, 

     

    Gee bill, why do serious…,

    Buffalo Bills Consensus Draft Grades

    I think its been a damn good defensive upgrade this offseason.. Coach them up and lets start getting to the QB taking them down and off the Damn field on 3rd downs. That right there makes this team much better.

    Yup, 

     

    our defense’s lack of third down success has been a huge issue, hopefully this off season’s acquisitions fix this problem.

    Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?

    In this century the average defensive rank of teams that won the SB is about 8th.   

     

    So that's what championship caliber looks like.

     

    The Bills have had better than "championship caliber" defense's more often than not in Josh Allen's playoff career.   

     

    But no matter their rank and skill level on D the McDefense's have always played badly in the end on defense.

     

    And Josh Allen's offense's have failed in the clutch with the ball in his hands and a chance to win the game first against Houston and now two consecutive years against KC and they also had horrific performances in defeat in between against KC(2020) and Cinci(2022).    

     

    Josh Allen only finished strong in 1 of his 6 playoff defeats(13 seconds) but for some reason we give his offense a pass despite not getting it done in the clutch.  

     

     I say "his" offense because, like McD on D, Allen is the constant on offense.      

     

    Organizationally they play poorly in the playoffs.   They gotta' get better on BOTH sides of the ball in the playoffs.

     

    Your last two sentences, although painful for some to hear are essentially true, 

    Is Ed Oliver still on the team by September?

    I am looking to buy a horse farm in East Aurora and if Ed Oliver were traded away I could get a real cushy deal.

    Buffalo drafted some much bigger defensive players, Ed is small  6'1" and has a fairly big contract. Branden Beane needs cap space for the next superstar wide receiver. You probably don't care about stupid wide receivers but I do.

    Anyway....

    I am hoping to get the horses too. 🐎 

    So you found your wallet…, 

    Brandon Beane on WGR

    One point kind of lost in all this is that as much as Beane has put the spotlight on himself, this entire offseason also puts a spotlight on McDermott. Everyone agrees his defense has been our biggest problem in the postseason, and this regime has planted their flag that it is talent more than coaching that has been holding them back. Beane's offer to Brady this offseason was a WR3 and a blocking TE. His offer to McDermott was a CB1, three new EDGEs, three new DTs, and more secondary depth than we can even keep on the roster.

     

    So despite my frustration with the continued underinvestment in WR, I'm at least glad that everyone is in agreement that the defense now has the necessary talent to perform at an above average level in the postseason. You can't give all of these resources to a defensive head coach and then come back later making excuses that the talent wasn't good enough. This has to be the year KC's offense doesn't walk all over us in January. I think a realistic standard should be keeping them below 24 points and they need to punt at least 4 times. Otherwise, what was the point of this offseason?

    After a couple seasons, imo, it’s the scheme / coaching as much as it could be the talent, again Jmo.
