Bills Theory and the Truth

[VADC Bills]

It's time to look at our team for what is so we can move forward properly.

 

Theory - Our OL needs one or two pieces (mainly LT & G) to become a good line.

Truth - Opposing teams have no problem pushing by Hangarther and Levitre up the middle. Eric would is the only

constant here. We need a LT, RT, 2 guards depending on if we move Woods to center.

Theory - Our running game is sound.

Truth - Our best RB is 30 and underpaid. We need to add a 2 versitile run and catch RB to the group. We need 2 because

we just don't know what the off season will bring from Lynch, hopefully a better conditioning plan if no off field

trouble.

Theory - Our QB's suck

Truth - Our QB's really suck

Theory - We would be better with a 3-4 defense.

Truth - We will improve with better talent. It doesn't matter what defense you play. All defenses can stop the run when

you have talent or maybe I should say well coached talent. We can't get consistant pressure on opposing QB's.

We can't stop the run. Stroud and Schobel are the anchors for the line. Both have pro bowl appearances but

neither are playing at the level they once did. Why wait until we squeeze the last sack out of these guys before we

get more talent. Our off season should be devoted to getting bigger and stronger players on the front seven. No

more tweeners. Do we really think that Mitchell, Poz, and Ellison will improve in a 3-4. For every good

play they make there are 5 plays where they play as if they are clueless...and they are. They can't shed blocks

and when they blitz they are often rendered ineffective or pancaked by blocking RB's. We need to start over from

scratch with the LB unit. Are present starters would be solid off the bench. When Bryan Scott a safety can start at

LB and out perform our normal starters that telsl me we can dismantle this group, raise the talent level and not

miss a beat.

 

Coaching is the caveat here. No matter how good your coaching is the successful team have solid veteran leadership. We can not get rid of all of the knowledgible veterans and build strictly with rookies. Rebuilding can be done in one or two years. We just have to recognize talent better. Jim Kelly stated stay away from California QB's, in the same vein I will add stay away from Penn State when drafting.
