Big C Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think what you see are guys drafted for a certain system when in fact they fit into more than system and perhaps some better into this system. Agreed. Plus, good players will play well in almost any system, especially if the coach knows what to do with them. Rex misused a lot of his talent (such as Dareus, who still did his job well in 2014 despite playing a position that essentially minimizes his talents), we have to hope McDermott knows what do with his.

BarleyNY Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Darby has that closing speed if you have that....you can play any system Speed certainly helps in any system, but that's not entirely true. Certain skill sets fit certain systems. Luckily Darby showed he was getting a good feel for zone in college so it looks like he'll be a good fit. Here are a couple scouting reports: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1998179/ronald-darby http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/ronald-darby?id=2552689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Of course noti admit I kind of miss her being part of the Fish. She and Omar Kelly were an entertaining follow during Miami week. He's friends with her and always defended her even when she got arrested because she would come on his radio show. She even had a regular segment.

3rdand12 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I think that it is a fair question but I don't worry about Darby. Rex's system is set up to destroy cornerbacks. They aren't protected at all. If Darby regains some of his confidence I expect him to become a good corner again in McDermott's scheme. that would be my initial reaction. I have confidence on Ronald. I'm usually quick to point out the bad topics, but i think this is a legitimate question and falls under the football discussion. Compare this topic to other threads, which, rather than asking for input, simply posit an idea and then proceed to criticize everyone who disagrees. Yep i iike the query Adolphus Washington? He's actually a better fit in a 4-3 by far. Why would you say he's not? They all are really. The D line Bills have had and have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Darby, Ragland, Shaq, Washington, ... pretty much everyone drafted while Rex was here is now a square peg in a round hole. Part of the fun of switching defenses every two years. That being said, Darby is probably the least affected. If you can cover then you can cover. It's the complete opposite with Shaq he didn't fit Rex at all, he is the perfect fit for McDermott. The idea we would trade Darby is ridiculous. We don't have the luxury of worrying about fit of CBs, we need bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeAndy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I always laugh when fans think a player can't excell in multiple schemes. Goodness, how many has Dareus been a beast in? All of them? Shaq Lawson will be a great 43 LE, like how he was projected coming out of college. Ragland is athletic and will be fine as a MIKE or, if need be, a SAM. Hell, he can probably play WILL in a pintch. These are professional athletes on our Defense who now have decent coaches. Brandon Spikes could probably find a small role to be successful in (34 OLB wasn't one, how crazy...)

If anything we got lucky because Rex's scheme is so multiple that every player drafted either played in a 43 at some point or has the versatility to play in a 43 With guys like Shaq and Washington even better suited for a 43 defense! Ragland is a beast in either defense imo, I think he's going to be a special LB Seymour/Darby are both DB's and if anything,this scheme will be a huge relief and much easier. Rex's scheme put a ton of pressure on his CB's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 It's fair to say he was benched in numerous games because of his spotty play, although I don't think this scheme will exploit him like Ryan's, it's tough to say that just changing scheme's will fix his spotty play, one can only hope.
