RevWarRifleman Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah, he'll make a difference on D. I think last year, Edwards was a bit over his head. With DW in the mix, I think there'll be better game time & halftime adjustments. Adjustments to their adjustments if you will. All games, affensively & defensively take on a life of their own as the game unfolds. I think Wannstadt will be a great help in that area. just my humble opinion GO BILLS!!

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well, he obviously doesn't know much because most fans here believe that Moats should be on the outside instead of the inside. What has Wanny done in this league anyways? But honestly, he will be a huge help to Edwards. And he makes my top 10 moustaches (Fingers, Reynolds, and Mike Jordan - successfully pulls off the Hitler stache) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards got a lot of crap for things that weren't his fault. We didn't have the right personnel. Poz said he felt more comfortable in a 4-3. Stroud struggle to make the switch and is now out of the league. We had arguably the worst LBs in the NFL. With more talent and another year in the system, Edwards will become a much better DC.

tennesseeboy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well...one way or another we'll sure be talking about him on Monday, win or lose. I'm hoping its talkng about how our LB and defensive front seve beat up on Cassell and held Charles to modest yardage in a Bills victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton's Arm Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Wanny will definitely have an effect. He'll make sure that the linebackers are in the right place. He will also be a good field general. Think of Wanny as a 3 star general and Gailey as a 4 star general. The idea that there is some kind of power struggle is way overblown. If Wanny is a three star general and Gailey is a four star general, then that makes Edwards . . . a 3.5 star general?

first_and_ten Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thinking about this throughout the week. Just being the second year with Edwards change to 3-4, we HAVE to see upgrade overall in our front 7. Add in Dareus, Barnett and Lights Out and improvement is gauranteed. It'll be hard to discern new strategy based on just better and more experienced play. I'm confident he's been crucial in who we added and new wrinkles devised. Unfortunately, I think we'll have to go back and review many games from last year ( ) to see new D-applications at work. Let me know what you learn.. After an exhausing and time consuming review of last year's defense I have learned that they could not stop the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I hope the defense looks more prepared and organized with a veteran mind like Wanny helping out. Last season they seemed to be helter skelter a lot of the time when things started to break down. I really hope Wanny helps with the D looking more composed when **** hit the fan.

sir andrew Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think his presence will be one of the biggest impacts on defense this year. Will we see some "exotic blitz" packages in buffalo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 In all seriousness I hope an extra set of good defensive eyes just gives us that much more prepardness on game day It's not just "an extra set of good defensive eyes…" As Assistant Head Coach, it's been decided that "The Stache" will be in the booth during games and radio down to the sidelines. Said Coach Gailey: "He even will send notes to the offensive side about some things." http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2011/09/10/wannstedt-to-be-in-booth-sunday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 first and ten that was damn funny! I read today that Wannstache has been assigned to the booth, thats a good thing imo. And Chan's little quip about sending notes to offense, as if we hadnt guessed. I think Wanny helped quicken the major transition on defense and gave a very good set of Def eyes to give insight and counters for Georgie. As the defense becomes stable this year, Dave will be able to take a more focused role as asst head coach. The front seven really look good so far. They seem to be in sync and well on their way. I don't see any competition with any other coaching position for him at this time. Just all around asset and i say effective so far. But i am mostly guessing with my heart and eyes. Tomorrow will mean so much for us. We could not have a better challenge and it is almost as if we have built our Bills this off season to beat the Chiefs specifically. If we fail roles may change for Wanny because the project of STOP THE RUN is not completed. If he decides he needs more money at the end of this year maybe then he will replace someone on the next rung up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wanny is the mentor that Edwards needs. And he'll have the LBs ready to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDO'Kearney Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I think his presence will be one of the biggest impacts on defense this year. Will we see some "exotic blitz" packages in buffalo?? If he just does ONE thing I'll be happy. Stop that stupid running play that worked about 200 times against the Bills D last year. The one where the back takes 2 steps forward, takes the handoff, runs to the outside shoulder of the tackle where a few Bills defenders begin to gather, then cut back up between the tackle and guard and gains 15 yards where Whitner would tackle him. If I see that play work ONCE tomorrow, I swear I might jump off my roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 oh my eyes. I forgot about that by now. That will never happen again. ok maybe once or twice, but we fixed that. you have my guarantee. if it does i promise to jump too. just off my porch. but i am old and it will hurt. Yep last year we had Kelsay learning how to seal the edge which he would blow right by and Poz being on behind him would be just late enough to hope for the ankle tackle often. I think Kels has shown much improvement and nowadays if it's forced back to the middle there should be someone ( Nick, A. Davis, Morrison, Shepp) holding the gaps. It looks like we are built up to force plays back inside so we sure as heck better be there before the safeties. That IS why we got Wanny right?

Doc Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The Bills having Wannstache and the Chefs being without Weis is a huge improvement over last year for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I will be watching Kelsey, if he looks better than last year Wanny was worth it and is god in my eyes . JK, but it is a good thing IMO that we have him around, I am pumped about our LBs stepping up in big ways. With him and Gailey bouncing ideas around, I feel like we have a nice coaching combination of football minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
