appoo Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 39 minutes ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: I do not think it is the only way to go, as I do think a 4-3 scheme can work. BUT, like it or not there are more pass catchers on the field than ever, so more DBs and LBs are going to be on the field anyways. I wonder if you can keep McDermott's general defensive scheme while still going 3-4. His scheme isn't extraordinarily far from what the Bucs do honestly, who run a base 3-4. Both teams have a fulcrum around a pair of sideline to sideline backers - though I would suggest the Bucs have a slightly better pair of backers in Devin White (super star) and Lavonte David than the Bills do with Edmunds and Milano - both use a heavy mix of zones that act to protect their corners. The real difference between the two is how they bring baseline pressure. The Bucs have slightly more versatility because they pick and choose which side to bring their rush guy, or be able to read and bring both, wheras the with 4 down you know which 4 are coming after the QB. And of course there's a bunch of gap and technique differences in a 3 man down and a 4 man down. If you can't get a game wrecker at DE, then I'd opt for a 3-4 with a pair of above average to good rushers at OLB because you can at least force the offense to guess more and you can be more varied in attack. Of course that also opens you up for more big plays and more risk. 44 minutes ago, billsfan1959 said: (1) It was 552 yards that included OT (477 yds in 10 drives in regulation to 422 yds in 9 drives for the Bills) and (2) over their last 8 games, the Chiefs averaged 44 yards per drive and 3.7 points per drive and were pretty much the same last night at 50 yards per drive and 3.8 points per drive. The Bills were actually pretty much the same at 47 yards per drive and 4 points per drive. The 2 best QBs in the NFL playing their best football in that 4th quarter - maybe the best I have ever seen in a playoff game.

Victory Formation Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I would take Brian Flores in a heartbeat, but ultimately I think he will end up as Daboll’s DC in NY. As far as OC goes, I think experience is key, particularly if we can find someone who has head coaching experience. Experience with the EPO is also a huge plus as well. Give me a stud OC who bottomed out as a HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I don't want any retreads. I don't want any curmudgeon old retreads either that come in and throw a whole new system at the team that takes players half a season to get a handle on. We don't need to do what Rex Ryan did to Mario Williams and Marcel Dareus. My vote would be to give Jim Salgado, the Bills Nickel coach, a look. You need new blood that can take the fundamentals of the Frazier defense and make it nastier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of what they do is 4-3 under type stuff, but not sure it meshes with McDermott. Brian Flores would be awesome. Patrick Graham, who is a Belicheat/Flores disciple would be an interesting fit as well. Bring back Jim Schwartz. Or call me crazy, but is there anyone on the planet who knows what McDermott wants to do defensively more than Luke Kuechly? Dude is brilliant and knows exactly what coach wants. Everyone else is hiring young guys without experience, why not us? All that said, if Frazier gets another job is or is let go (which I think is highly unlikely) I think they just promote their DBs coach John Butler. I would love Schwartz but I don’t see TN letting him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I really thought the cardinals DB coach Greg Williams did a heck of a job with what he had to work with and will be getting promoted by someone to DC, I'd take a look at him or NE LB Coach Jerrod Mayo has done a heck of a job with that crew plus working under "The Hoody" I'm sure he's picked up some things for sure.
