Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What are you doing two Sundays from now? You're in. Can't be worse. Me: "Guys, we're going to try some blitzing." Bills D: Blank looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It also speaks volumes that we need to blitz to generate pressure, with a $100M man on the dline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Heres the thing. On EVERY down, we play our back seven at least 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. So when we do blitz, the whole stadium knows it. That is not how you play defense anymore in the NFL. You put 6-7 guys on the line and back out when you want to play coverage. Wanny's schemes (yes I use the words loosely) are out of date. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes, he is, and he needs to either get over that or get out of town. This is the NFL, not the Big Least. Blitzing is part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If he is not fired then a total make over is needed. Put you 11 best out there and play aggressive defense. Attack! Force the issue att he line. Fire into the gaps is basic, disruprive football. Why can't Wanny understand this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Chan just said in his presser, no coaching changes on D. .... .... Its hard to win in the NFL....err, its hard to fire a friend in the NFL Edited October 22, 2012 by Fear the Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Chan meant, "no coaching changes on D tonight". They better fire Wanny this week or we should all be calling for chan & nix to be fired too!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I feel like Chan couldn't just say "Yes" to that question. They would probably want to let Wanny go and have a plan in place first before spreading any word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Absolutely, I mean when it comes to the point when you have to honestly question if the team could be any worse off by firing your DC halfway through the season then he should be fired. I mean week after week we have to sit there and watch the defense get shredded every way possible. Wannsted has got to be the worst DC in the league, the fact that this guy still has a job is purely comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l< j Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The bye week seems to be a time when many bad teams start making staffers walk the plank. When would an announcement like this come? At what point can we assume its too late and we will be stuck with who we got? God forbid. Wednesday? Thursday? If we get to the weekend I think we can assume they're all going down with the ship.

Storm Front Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wanny isn't going anywhere. Chan is pretty loyal. He keeps losers like Thigpen around and he continues to underutilize his best players, i.e., his running backs. We will be stuck with Wanny until Chan is gone.

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It would be a pleasant surprise if Wannstedt was replaced during the bye. Whatever he's trying to do it's not working, that has to be clear to everyone including the HC. The numbers speak for themselves along with the 'career' games that opponents are having against this 'D' so far this season. No more excuses or explanations please. This defense sucks. The decision to make a change all boils down to accountability. Are people doing their jobs in a competent manner and getting results? If not, changes are needed and if no changes are made it points to a lack of leadership holding the members of the organization (on and off the field) accountable the results. The marching orders to change something need to come from the top. The owner and GM should be totally livid and demanding of action at this point. But given his age and health I suspect Ralph is more of an absentee owner at this point so don't expect any demands for change to be generated out of ownership. And I suspect Nix isn't going to take action either since its likely he's going to give way to Whaley this offseason when Gailey is fired and we start the 'rebuilding' process yet again with a new coaching staff. My hope is enough of the Steelers culture has rubbed off on Whaley so he can bring a new approach to the Bills next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickedface Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 its not looking good here. the defense is a mess, kelsey gets through but is often the target of where to run at. mario is showing us his best albert haynesworth impression. i've always been a fan of having a defense that is too agressive. seeing as that hasn't been the case in quite a while, i think as wanny you have to think, well i am about to get fired i might as well try to put together something good for my next team. open up the blitz packages, get on the sidelines, and get fired up about things. even if the defense is getting killed because of blitzes its not like they can't fall any further than the worst rank defense in the league.
