Kelly the Dog Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I would expect the defense to be much better right now than the offense for several reasons. Obviously they are much more talented, especially going against the front four, which is healthy and deep. The defense is learning a semi new system, too, and Rex/DT have to teach them how aggressive they want them to be, which is substantial. Eric Wood mentioned it in his recent interview. This makes it hard on the offense in the 11-11 drills. They are not only the most aggressive defensive coaches but they are good at disguising stuff, and they are teaching that to our D now, making it tougher for the offense. The offense has a new starting WR, a new TE at 1 & 2 one of whom is a rookie, a new starting RB, a new OT for the most part, two new OGs, and those are only starters. They have a new OL coach who is teaching them completely different techniques. All the position coaches are new and that is not the biggest change, it is an entire new offense, which is completely opposite to the one they played in the last two years, and very complicated, with endless variations to it. Combine that with three separate and entirely different QBs, two of which are new, getting equal shots with the ones, meaning only one third of the time, and you would thoroughly expect, at this juncture, that the defense is abusing the offense.

BillsVet Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A distant third, is what I took from his remarks. Granted, EJ's the least experienced -both in NFL time and skills. EJ may not have as much time on a roster, but he's more game experienced than Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, and wouldn't you expect just one of our crack local reporters to point any of this out? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I love that the DL goes nuts in practice. With no hitting, that pressure is absolutely meaningless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 We've already seen the kitty slide one time too many. It was sarcasm. But, it would not he surprising for Whaley to closely watch the summer QB camp cuts. Not that they will be worth a crap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL blocking for sure--since all their doing is dancing right now and have no ability to stand the DL up--or even knock them on their ass. It's like asking a marksman to practice his shooting without giving him any bullets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
