Fixxxer Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hopkins was drafted and never got a real look. So stupid. I liked Rambo as well. He was afraid to hit and tackle. Searcy was good as well. THe others, who cares. Hopkins had a groin injury entering the season and we signed Carpenter, who was excellent his first year.

BADOLBILZ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 McLovin Cockrell Rambo Others? The Bills seem to cut a bunch of guys that are able to play on other teams and yet the Bills are still lacking talent in the defensive backfield. People who think the Bills lack the defensive talent to be a good defense obviously don't watch much NFL football. Most good defenses have a few positions that are bandaided talent wise. The Bills under Rex have a reverse synergy on D........they are much more talented than the results they are getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Agreed,I really liked Searcy. Agreed Hindsight i pay Searcy and not Graham. Specially with Aarons health For no less than 10 months, a vocal TSW fringe insisted that the 2015 defensive personnel was identical to 2014, that coaching/scheme was the only difference. Injuries and Searcy's departure were scoffed at. WELP! People who think the Bills lack the defensive talent to be a good defense obviously don't watch much NFL football.

Then how do you explain yesterday's meltdown? Players in a position to make plays simply did not. I'll concede some level of coaching failure, but let's be serious. Players make plays. And prior to yesterday's meltdown, they were a good defense. Great? No. But top half makes you average, at worst. But to have the kind of dominant defense needed to overcome yearlong deficiencies at QB, you need better talent than what the Bills have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a solid special teamer who became the 11th man on D and cherry picked behind an aggressive pass rushing front. He was easily replaceable in Schwartz D. Corey Graham is a better player........and it's not close. And he's perceived as trash in Rex D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yesterday's melt down? They melted all game. The difference between this defense now to before Rex got here is night and day. They play slow, don't wrap up, are out of position, confused and don't give a !@#$ because frankly, they don't have to with Rex as head coach. Sure. https://twitter.com/LegerDouzable/status/812824655706935296 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Interesting speculation. Graham has had to make nearly twice as many tackles at safety than Searcy has since he left and yet has still produced significantly more passes defensed and turnovers than Searcy. Rex D chews up and spits out safeties when the front 7 is not stopping the run and forcing hurried passes.....and subsequently it's main objective.........punts. Searcy as a significant loss is up there with the loss of Aaron Williams undoing Rex D. Apparently people forgot the Jets air raid on the Bills D in the home opener WITH AW. Just so happened AW got injured after the offensively handicapped portion of the schedule was reaching the rear view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm anticipating an announcement tomorrow morning re: the future of the Ryan Brothers in Buffalo, and I won't be sad to see them leave. Too much up and down, and not enough talent to weather the downs. Our players aren't good enough to have him as our coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sure. https://twitter.com/LegerDouzable/status/812824655706935296 Leger Douzable had a job in the NFL this year ONLY because of Rex. He was a late addition to the roster. He's naturally concerned about his future if Rex is gone........but he's put good football on tape this year so if there is an ounce of fairness in the game he should be able to find a job before next summer. Hopefully here. Like that dude. But he doesn't speak for the majority of the front here that tasted success in an attacking 1 gap scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, look at the PFF list of best D performers in yesterday's game, young players and system players. Top defensive grades: LB Ramon Humber, 79.7 CB Ronald Darby, 78.6 DI Leger Douzable, 78.0 DI Adolphus Washington, 75.1 CB Corey White, 74.3 No Dareus, no Hughes, no Kyle Williams. Corey White missed a tackle badly on a Landry WR screen, but it's two weeks in a row where shows that he belongs, hopefully he's versatile and can play different schemes going forward.

I would not be surprised to see White playing a lot as a safety here or elsewhere next season. In ANY scheme you have to find a few guys from nowhere to contribute. I think even Saint Jim Leonhard would have looked stupid in this D this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 McLovin Cockrell Rambo Others? The Bills seem to cut a bunch of guys that are able to play on other teams and yet the Bills are still lacking talent in the defensive backfield. Rambo i didn't get the guy just plays ball & now he's going to the playoffs with the Fins ... For sure Gilmore needs to take a look in the book what wrapping up a player when you tackle is all about , or we will see him with another team because he's no Josh Norman & the Bills shouldn't pay that cash for him !!!!
