jahnyc Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think many people underestimated the ramifications of switching to a 3-4 defense this year. The Bills picked a true NT (hopefully) for a 3-4 scheme, a big DE, and two defensive players that will be making the switch to outside LB. With our only real free agent investments made at inside LB (Davis has experience in the 3-4) and Edwards (a DE), it is clear that moving to a 3-4 required the Bills to use a good chunk of available resources (i.e., draft picks and money for free agents) for the switch. Not sure what this means for Kelsay, Ellis, Stroud, Williams, Johnson and Maybin. It is clear that the rebuild of this roster is going to take a long time. The offense is probably in worse shape now than at the start of last season (no Owens, no Reed, Wood still recovering from a broken leg, and Butler retired).

Max997 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 the Bills needed help on defense even if they were not changing to a 3-4 so its not like they wouldnt have used those picks on defensive players anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to make the necessary changes due to the switch. We not have competition at every 3-4 position ensuring us that the best front 7 will be our there... at least I hope.

I am excited to see some of these guys go. Our offense has been tragically under coached. I hope this new regime has what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick note, Moats will be playing ILB. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3...59-aedc24bf4f9a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup this is a 2 - 3 year rebuilding project. But we are on the right path.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ennjay Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Not sure what this means for Kelsay, Ellis, Stroud, Williams, Johnson and Maybin. One thing I think and hope it means is this message (and for Lynch too): we lost with you and we can lose without you. Show something or get out of the way for the next man up.
