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. I'm not ready to over to overreact Right, Mahomes elevated to the situation at hand. The defense - mostly - did it's job 37 minutes ago, Reed83HOF said: Well Josh wants Dorsey, so imma go with that Let's call that "don't fix what's going extraordinarily well".

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...

Nihilarian Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hopefully those two get hired away... Daboll as Giants new HC and Frazier as the Bears new HC. Dorsey for OC The defense is tougher because you don't need someone who will attempt to remake the whole thing. What the Bills already have does work and just needs someone a tad brighter.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I want Frazier gone regardless. I can’t see him getting a HC Job. I never saw that as a realistic possibility anyway. I want ‘McDermott to either basically be the DC and call the defense or bring in a guy that will be more aggressive. Either way I’m good but the super soft shell the Frazier plays is infuriating. I don’t care where they ended up…Schwartz defense was way better then these guys. And we have better players now. I want aggression from a defense and to force the issue. Not sit back and hope to bore the other team into mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember McDermott being right up in it in the sideline discussions after the TOs were called. It's his responsibility if he's that involved. Honestly, the first play was OK; you can't let yourself get beat deep. But the second one (the Kelce play) was ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2Buff Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's sad that the only way we will get change on Defense is for Frazier to get hired. McDermott isn't man enough to admit that a change is needed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think Daboll is gone. Not having to face Allen and Mcdermott twice a year is also a respect move. NYG makes alot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
