Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ha. No one ever reads long replies. Maybe I should have thrown in a few Ralph is cheap or Fitz sucks items. We're all either still digesting what you wrote, or plotting how to marry you so we can watch porn together. "Defensive talk is like porn to me" HA!

NewEra Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have to give credit where credit is due, as this idea got sparking in a different thread. Since most topics are about why McShay is an idiot (an opinion I share) I thought I would move it here. I've been considering this question too. There's been a lot of guessing about what type of defense Petting is going to run but he has gone on record saying something along the lines of "hybird, multiple look" and in addition "base nickel" Manny Lawson seems to think that we're running a 3-4 from his interview. Well, what would that look like? Picture taken from Behind the Steel Curtain: Line backers from left to right: Sam, Mike, Will, Jack So, remember how people people have been saying "We can't play a 3-4, we don't have a proper Nose Tackle". Well, in this scenario, that's not a problem, as Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus are ridiculously qualified for the job up front. In addition, look at the placement of the linebackers. If the Bills want to run their 4-3 nickel, all they have to do is plug Mario and Anderson at the ends and have them put their hands down. So who would go where? Well, what places are there, and what does each do? Jack Back (the Hybrid OLB/DE, Weakside outside): Mario/Anderson-Rushes,rarely drops into coverage Sam Back (Strong Side Outside): Manny Lawson-run stuffer, covering tight ends and RBs, possibly put Anderson in here if we're looking for an extra pass rush, Bradham as depth Will Back (Weak Side Inside): Coverage Back. Bryan Scott's only real qualifications are in this role, primarily on covering the four receiver or a tight end Mike Back(Strong Side Inside): Sheppard, maybe Bradham if they think he can do it and are willing to cut Shepp I'm not saying this is where everyone will wind up, or that we'll use this, but this does promise the flexibility that Pettine has been talking about, since it allows them to mix and match coverage, giving us the diversity of a 3-4, while mitigating our lack of a true 3-4 NT. Suddenly we don't look awful in our front 7. Not "great" mind you, but functional, functional enough to wait for a second or even mid-round pick to solve some of our other problems such as a lack of SS, WR, and QB. Thoughts? Questions? Berate me? Resources: http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2009/9/21/1047264/the-2-4-5-and-1-5-5-revealed Well thought out post, but any instance that has Scott as a coverage LB is fail. He's not a coverage Lb. he's not a Lb at all. He was terrible in coverage last season. Terrible. I view him as a backup SS. He can't play Lb effectively, hopefully Pettine isn't as stupid as Stache and realizes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) And now that we've Rule 34'rd it, there is a website that combines the two. 99% of the members here do not know what you are talking about. Trying to figure out the rule 3-4? Whhhaaat? Too bad rule 29 is not true in this exact case for Hopeful and I, so it's not that bad. Oh, and here is a sink.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I just don't think by adding Manny Lawson you take one of the worst defenses in the league and turn it into anything but what it is, one of the worst defenses in the league. Granted we are minus the worst defensive coach in the league in Wannstench and adding Pinocchio in his place. What do you mean by the bolded? That Pettine is Pinocchio? I'm not following apparently. Gotta run wish I could write more. Defensive talk is like porn to me Thought about it today while gardening... Dude you crack me up. And now that we've Rule 34'rd it, there is a website that combines the two. Could you pm me with the information? I'd appreciate it.

His big problem was playing the run. I am wondering if they would want him back at Safety. That way, Sheppard, Bradham and anyone who we pick up would be the ILB's. People have been saying that Pettine likes three safeties, so I wonder if he'll want Scott to fully embrace his role as tweener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I enjoyed the OP. I especially liked the retro graphic. I'm not worried about the defense. Talent has always been there. Hopefully the Bills have removed (for good) the crappy coaching that's been the bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree - I think we're short at least 1 starting LB and decent depth, and the DB situation is uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you pm me with the information? I'd appreciate it. I garden. So what? I put in another 8 blueberry bushes, making there a total 24? total bushes... Also put in some broom brush, which, as you can guess I will make in to retro brooms and sell for like $40. It is a reference in code, of sorts, to another website of which you probably would not understand, appreciate or want to know about - as it is a deeper, darker part of the web in which suspiscious activity occurs freequently and illegal activity often. He is also bound by rules to not speak of it, being he is likely a newcomer to it... But can it play Mike? If you hum a few bars, I am sure it could figure it out... That sink is only a two down sink! It couldn't cover a pot! I knew I should have posted spiderman. Edited March 30, 2013 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 sheppard is no good......and bradham lacks good football instincts altho he hits hard. you could see in the films last year from college that bradham doesnt anticipate at all---just stand there frozen until its obvious where the play is going. sheppard is completely lost other than being a halfway decent run stuffer. bills have mucho work to do to get a professional LB corps.
