Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 This offense can make a deep playoff run. This defense lacks a pass rush and is average to below average in causing turnovers. 13th last year and only one turnover in 2 games so far. It's time for Beane to go all in and give up some draft capital for a pass rusher. There are several teams that have no future in 2020. Find someone that can play a hybrid DE/OLB. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I think Addison has 3 sacks Edit: Make that 2. I guess Fitz got back to the LOS on one. Edited September 20, 2020 by LeGOATski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The problem today was not pass rush. It was coverage. Edmunds is so vital to our scheme. It allows us to help Wallace out with safety help more regularly. Just now, BillsMafi$ said: Brought the blitz decent amount this game n fitz burned us I thought we blitzed too much.

HappyDays Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 McDermott's scheme doesn't run through the DEs. It runs through the MLB and CBs. We struggled today because we were missing starters at both positions. Hopefully Edmunds is back next week and Norman the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rk_Bills86 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Eh - would it be nice? Sure - Trade for one? What are we giving up? - Also would it have really made a difference - Fitz was getting rid of the ball so fast. I'd be more open to trading for a LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 5. Bills pass rush continues to get to the quarterback For the second straight week the Bills had three sacks and the pressure continues to come from the inside and outside. Mario Addison now holds the team lead with two sacks after he landed on Fitzpatrick. Ed Oliver’s first sack of the season came in the game and he was in the backfield consistently all game. He had four tackles and two quarterback hits to go with his sack. Just now, ny33 said: We need LB depth that can cover, not a pass rusher. Might need a better CB if Norman can’t return and stay healthy. I wouldn’t say Levi Wallace was targeted, but he was observed with red concentric circles on his back, put there by Fitzpatrick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Ok maybe you all watched a different game than I did. Here is what I saw. Defense gave up 28 points and it could have been 31 or 35 if Dolphins go for FG or don't drop a TD pass(though he may not have crossed the line). Bills were losing to Dolphins in 4th quarter with a defense that could not get off the field. No pass rush with just four guys. Oliver had a nice hustle sack after falling to the ground and Poyer had a nice blitz sack. One turnover in two games. They won't beat better teams without a pass rush and forcing turnovers. The Bills had Bruce Smith when they traded for Bennett. This team finally has an offense to compete. Go get a difference maker on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz and Gailey have always had an offense that gets the ball out quickly. Fitz has incredible games in his career. I believe he is the only QB in NFL history to throw for 400 yards 3 straight games.

somnus00 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 If anything, I'd like another corner. But I've been saying that since the start of the 2nd round of the draft. Either way. Our defense has looked stellar at times. Today they played without their 2 starting Pro-Bowl caliber (yeah, I said it) linebackers. Another poster here mentioned it, but McDermott's defense, and Beane's team defense building, is based on star linebackers and corners (Kuechly, Davis, Norman in Carolina) and big strong linemen over quick pass rushers.

You’re saying that we NEED to trade for a pass rusher. you act as if Milano and Edmunds we’re playing. That’s why we gave up so many points today. Plain and simple. Dotson played a nice first half, but Frazier had to shade help differently today because our two best LBers weren’t there. one must also give Fitz a LOT of credit. He was throwing perfect passes out there today. An absolute gem of a game he played imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
