santoro770 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Sorry if this has been discussed - I don't post often and I definitely searched for any discussion on this (if I missed it, please do correct me on how best to search for a topic such as this). However, something that wasn't discussed s lot that I have seen is that when they promoted Lynn to O-coordinator, Rex also gave up play calling duties on defense to Thurman. Rex has been better (albeit not perfect) when talking about overall game management. Defense has obviously looked good; a thank you to the football Gods for Zach Brown!! - A gift from Mike Mularkey?? Thoughts on Thurman now calling the defense? Pointless discussion? #GoBills - I don't often #, but when I do - It's #GoBills!

Best Player Available Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 i may be wrong but I think Rob Ryan calls the plays when the opposition is in the redzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santoro770 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) i may be wrong but I think Rob Ryan calls the plays when the opposition is in the redzone. Is that true? That's interesting to say the least if that is the case. I loved the piece on NFL network this morning where they were talking about how, "everyone was sharpening their pencils ready to write about Rex and Rob being washed up and being the joke of the NFL; well they're gonna shut them up in LA" - or something to that effect. Bills fan in Denver - an excellent day for all! Granted it's only 5 games in, but a fun day. Edited October 10, 2016 by santoro770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to know if thats true because its seems that we have improved in that department over all imo. Is that true? That's interesting to say the least if that is the case.

White Linen Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I just can't imagine Thurman is calling plays. Everytime I see him he's like two rows behind Rex and the other coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah to me Thurman is just a figurehead DC. I give alot credit of the improved play to Rob, think he has everyone understanding where they need to be and what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the story linked below is from the Bills website, you could be correct. The article is from two weeks ago but was a move I thought was very wise of Rex and not something he would have done if he didn't realize this really may be his last head coaching position. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Dennis-Thurman-to-continue-handling-defensive-play-calls-/4647e345-6bec-4a2a-9938-62e9a93edf41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
