metzelaars_lives Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Not sure anyone's noticed, but the Bills have given up the 6th most carries in the NFL this year and are still 10th in the league against the rush (YPC). This despite playing five defensive back almost every play vs. Green Bay and going up against a pretty good running team in Miami. Hey I'm just looking for something here...

I noticed their Run D was stout against the Fish and the first half looked solid Vs the Pack. Our DE...LBs got exploited in coverage this weekend though...but I don't wanna go there. I'm with you Metz!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the run defense will get only better once we replace williams and stroud with troup and carringtion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for lack of pass rush, the defense looked pretty solid. Things are looking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm just looking for something here... you are quite right and we shouldn't lose sight of this. The 3-4 defense is showing signs of improvment pretty consistently. I think we have to focus on getting the other team OFF the field and there is plenty of room for improvement, but everything you say is true and frankly quite heartening.

He's retarded. At least that's essentially what you said in another thread where you said you saw no progress.

This team is about a thousand times better against the run this year than last. Consider too that if the offense didn't leave the defense on the field for double the amount of plays and in horrid field position, the defense could be a lot better stat-wise.
