Yeezus Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) I think a lot of fans need a reality check when it comes to the defense. People saying we will have a top 10 or even top 5 ranked defense? What exactly are they basing this off of? Our pass rush ranks near dead last in the NFL, and we haven't improved that much over the season. We arguably have one of the worst LB's cores in the NFL. Edmunds will go through a lot of growing pains, and the rest of the LB's wouldn't even start on other top teams in the league. This will hurt our run defense, I can see many teams having huge games on the ground this season due to our LB weakness. People think Star Lotuleli is going to come in and fix our run defense but the guy has been ranked one of the worst DT's against the run in the past few years. Our secondary over achieved last season, and we still ended up ranked middle of the pack. Outside of Hyde and Tre White the depth there is worrying. We are 1 Vonte Davis injury away from being in trouble. We need to hit the brakes on the defense expectations. It's a rebuilding year and the defense is no exception. Most important thing this year is development of our rookies. Edited August 23, 2018 by Yeezus new title 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbojanglezs Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Your right. I'm concerned with our pass rush. But we should be improved in the middle with DL and mlb I'd say top 15 at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 So taking expectations from top 10 or top 5 and contrarianizing from under the bridge (or is it from the back of the boat, I'm always at a loss on that one) to a rebuilding year defense with no expectations is a realistic take?

I’m OK with being “realistic”, but this isn’t that. Yes. It’s a fan base website for the Buffalo Bills. Contrary points of view are the cog which keeps the wheels spinning. But Yeesus has shown consistently -if not universally that his posts & threads are nothing more than pot stirring troll bait. No one could possibly hate a team they purport to support to this degree, given his remarkable ‘ sticktoittiveness‘. It’s getting old. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This time I actually agree, especially when I see people saying top 5, or even 10. This D was 26th in yards last year. They will be better, and a jump up to the middle IS a significant jump. Top 5 is dreaming, especially when you look at lack of depth in a couple key spots.

SoCal Deek Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 OK...I'll bite. So, what does the OP want done about it now? They drafted a MLB in the first round, then later drafted a promising DT, and they picked up a couple of veteran D Linemen in Free Agency. Is there something else they should have done? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think McD and Frazier are really showing you what schemes they plan on utilizing mostly on gamedays? I bet you thought they weren't making the playoffs last year either huh. 8 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: OK...I'll bite. So, what does the OP want done about it now?

Freddie's Dead Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 What we've seen so far from the D has not been encouraging. But given the losses up front, the new backfield, and uncertainty at LB, I'm thinking it's going to take a while for this D to come together. Top 10, possibly. We should be happy with top half of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
