Highly recommend @sgw94's analysis of #Bills DL vs. Bengals. Especially b/c he's the king of keeping it real --> http://bit.ly/1RWZrkj

 

 

Excellent article and hits the nail on the head for me. I don't think Rex Ryan is being Rex Ryan at the moment. He has confused himself let alone his players. I think Mario might have shocked him out of his fog.... hopefully what I witness at Wembley on Sunday is a Bills a defence that mixes the blitz with 4 man rushes where he lets the front 4 do what they do. No stupid disguised 3 man rushes - just pressure defense every darn snap.

"Well, it seems like Rex Ryan is suddenly determined to put square pegs into round holes by putting his scheme over talent, at least he was Sunday. We know that the Bills have four dominant defensive linemen who fit best in an attacking 4-3 scheme. However, Ryan has mostly been a 3-4 guy as a head coach. His father, Buddy Ryan, utilized the 4-6 zone, which might as well be a sister to the 3-4, as defensive coordinator of 1985 Bears to lead that team to a Super Bowl win. People were interested in seeing how well he would mesh his philosophy with the skill sets of the highest paid guys on his roster. Well, results are in and it ain't pretty."

 

Bingo...And I have to say this was the one single thing I feared most about Rex...I was afraid he would not be willing to leave well enough alone when it came to this Defense...His ego would not allow it...And...so far at least...that appears to be the case... B-)

Good, insightful piece, but this is wrong:

 

"Both Williams and Jerry Hughes, the defensive end/OLB opposite Mario (who also just got paid), dropped quite a bit more than I thought was beneficial for the Bills against the Bengals. Sure, they can do it, and hey, neither one of them got really exposed in coverage -- aside from one time that Hughes was covering Bengals running backJeremy Hill in space and missed the tackle on the sideline that turned into a 13-yard touchdown."

 

Inempkali was covering Hill on that play.
