fairfaxbill Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Since we are good at changing direction mid-season, how about going back to the 4-3 during the bye week? Being 30th against the run is looking really good right now. We might get some pressure on the QB to generate an INT as well. Ryan Denney is waiting by the phone.

justnzane Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 considering the run defense was this bad last year, there is no need for a defense to have the same inconsistency that we have afforded to the offense the last decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskik11 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Honestly, a 5-2 at this point would be fine. I don't care if any team tries to go over the top on us. We can defend the pass well enough. The numbers the Jets have run up on us are rediculous. Changes need to be made and the 3-4 scheme isn't working. Anyone who thinks a change isn't necessary should have their head examined.

BillsInMaine Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Lets stick with the D we have and run with it. We got nothin to lose. Let this coaching staff evaluate and rebuild this disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 NO...NO...NO!!! Mods - please shut this thread down now before people actually consider this idea sane! I think it's sane and actually smart. Somethings got to change. We can try to get more 3/4 players and try it again next year if we have to. We're not ready.

We're not ready. Makes sense Swtich to a 3/4, draft players to play a 3/4, then switch to a 4/3 mid season instead of allowing our players toblearn the 3/4, then switch back next year....and start all over again. This season is a wash. Stick with the gameplan and get the players we plan on keeping accustomed to playing it. Would be be better this year is a 4/3? I'd agree the answer is yes. But this year is a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPS Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 As bad as they are, it will get better. The teams the Bills play also get worse. There's NO way they admit mistake and change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks a change isn't necessary should have their head examined. I was disappointed to hear, after the Jest's game that Our D/C had the team prepared for a power game, but they threw them a curve ball and used the same miss direction runs we were so susceptable to last year. This was from the mouth of Kyle Williams in his post game interview. Shouldn't our D/C know what our tendencies are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 George Edwards is incompetent as a DC. He is likely Chan's worst hire. Bruce DeHaven is giving him a run for that title though. Come to think of it, most of the coaches don't have much to crow about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 30th against the run is looking really good right now. We might get some pressure on the QB to generate an INT as well. Ryan Denney is waiting by the phone. They're not really running a true 34. It's more of a hybrid 43. As most expected, they don't have the personnel to run a 34, so they're making do with what they have. Unfortunately, the players they do have that are used to the 43 or cover 2 aren't that good, and there areen't enough true 34 guys on the roster yet.

We play a 3-4 and a 4-3 anyway as do most 3-4 teams. Let's draft better football players and then we won't be talking about what scheme to play.

Brandon Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Its not like it would matter. The Bills were this bad against the run last year, too. If you need any evidence of that, lets just remember that they gave up 318 rushing yards to the Jets in week 6 last year. That was the end of a four game stretch where they gave up nearly 1,000 yards rushing (961). The truth is that they aren't good enough to play either the 4-3 or 3-4 effectively. The only 'change' that's going to solve anything is to bring in more talent. Edited October 9, 2010 by Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Forget the run, the Bills have been incompetent defending the pass as well. This was the second ranked pass defense in the NFL last season. The Bills do not have a high talent level, but Jauron and Fewell got far more from these guys than Edwards has. That doesn't reflect well on Edwards and his defensive staff.

We can try to get more 3/4 players and try it again next year if we have to. We're not ready. You're wrong. There will always be a low period for a scheme transition. Why not this lost season? What part of that crap defense we put on the field the past four years do you want back? That Tampa 2 crap that folded every 4th quarter? The part that gave up 3rd and long regularly? The sh*t run defense? Suck it up and make the change now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
