NaPolian8693 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Last year the no-huddle offense was the big thing all through camp and the preseason. Then at the last minute the Bills trashed the no-huddle and the offensive coordinator. This year we've already cut our starting QB. Why not just go ahead and do the same with the 3-4? It's just not working. It doesn't look anything remotely similar to a good 3-4 defense like the Steelers, with lots of pressure coming from unpredictable spots. The personnel might just be better for a 4-3, anyways. Get Stroud and Williams over their more natural DT gaps. Get Kelsay back at DE. Just get some baseline level of competency in place.

reddogblitz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm with you 100%. This "defense" we're running is horrible. Everyone is always out of position. dump it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I didn't realize that we ran a 3-4. It looks like a 4-3 to me. Kelsay lines up on the LOS just like he did when he was a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I thought Kelsay was a really solid OLB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeCruise Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 No scheme works for crappy players. We could at least run some goal line stuff though, so a team can't hand the ball off and stroll down the entire field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that too. the guy on the other side does the same thing. Looks more to me like a 5-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Bills have given up 64 more points than the Jets have. Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saundena Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Horrible Idea. The season is lost. 3-4 is the direction that they are heading long term. Practice it now so we can improve quicker in the long term. PS. Troupe really needs to come up to speed quickly. His performance worries me. 1st and 2nd round picks are supposed to be contributors!

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I actually though last yr's defense wasn't bad, we just needed a few bigger Lbs to stop the run better. Now we look pitiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akm0404 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Another Bills headscratcher: switching to the 3-4 when you have no stout nosetackle and your linebackers are one of the weakest units on one of the weakest teams. Good coaches highlight the strengths of their players and put them in the best position to succeed. Then there are the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I didn't realize that we ran a 3-4. It looks like a 4-3 to me. Kelsay lines up on the LOS just like he did when he was a DE. And either gets shoved out of the way or runs past the play every snap, just like he did when he was a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Point of View Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Three choices here, #1 bring back the 4-3 or #2 trade for some 3-4 players or #3 Suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another example of poor coaching decisions, switching to a defense you don't have the personnel to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nosetackle + No LBs + George Edwards = Did anyone actually think this guy was going to be a good defensive coordinator? How about we give the "coaching" staff some due credit for this piss poor team. We have Edwards and Modkins as our coordinators and a retread as a HC is it any wonder this team looks thoroughly unprepared and out of position all day?

Isn't funny how fired guys around the league get promotions with the Bills? Gailey-Fired as OC only to be made a head coach. Edwards-Fired as a Linebacker's Coach, only to be made a DC.. Where is the f'in logic in that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle flap Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I thought we'd see more blitzing. yeah really. at this point, i don't care how they line up - 43, 34, nickel, 46, whatever - just blitz! from everywhere! if they're going to lose by 3 or 4 scores, they might as well attack the LOS and maybe force some turnovers. the way it seems now is that opposing offenses don't even have to gameplan against the bills, since EVERYTHING is available. take away something for crissake!
