We'll find out. We will see how much difference having new play caller will make as it is the same defense. Hoping we will see McDermott be more aggressive in certain situations especially come playoff time. You can live with a middle of the pack defense as other teams have shown if you can force the opposition into making mistakes in critical situations. Against the elite QBs you can't sit back and let them just beat you. Edited August 30, 2023 by billieve420 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If they don’t sign a LB then they believe Terrell Bernard is the guy. It’ll be interesting to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) For anyone interested, Spotrac has the Bills with $2.564M in cap space under the Top 51 rule and $1.06M with all the contracts. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ OTC has an extra $3M or so, but they don't show their work the way Spotrac does, so it's hard to know where they get that from. Beane stays under the Top 51 until September 10th, so he has leeway in doing some cap "gymnastics". Signing back Ferguson and Ifedi should add a little over $2M in contract money. PS should add around another $3.7M. Having the guys go to IR/PUP opens up spots on the 53 rosters but they have to be replaced with other player salaries. "Stashing" costs money, LOL. FWIW.

He was a gamewrecker, and without him, the Chiefs DL would've looked a lot like ours. ....especially if they inexplicably played off coverage all game. Thats why I said its more important to have individual game wreckers than regular season statistics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverOutNick Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Only guy I think is a no brainer, “why haven’t we already signed him” guy is Christian Kirksey. He’s an immediate upgrade at our worst position and hopefully pride doesn’t get in the way of Beane/McDermott sticking with the 🤢 Dodson/Bernard combo over bringing in Kirksey 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old Moneyball Billy Beane quote: "My [crap] doesn't work in the playoffs." Playing Zach Wilson and Mac Jones 4 times a year? Make them beat you by sustaining those long drives without a mistake (penalty, bad throw, drop, etc.) Playing Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs? He'll say "Thank you, I'll have some more."

Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) So people understand the state of OL’s around the league. A good team signed Quessenberry. Edited August 30, 2023 by Buffalo_Stampede 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 People talking about scheme and elite players like we had anyone who wasn't injured left to carry any of that out. Our coaches and front office did all they could. Sure the Bengals were playing back ups on the O line but with Jones and Miller out they they ran the ball until we had to scheme run and then they threw the ball against our secondary with no starting safeties. It's not as simple as we have no stars and our coaches suck. If you have half your starters out and particularly your biggest stars (Miller, Hyde, Jones, and essentially Poyer) it's going to be pretty hard to run your defense. Even with just the injuries to Hyde and Miller it's a massive change to the defense. There's a little luck in any championship and that includes having the right people healthy when you need them. IMHO the biggest need this defense has is a DT who plays in the backfield so QB's can't step up and get chased to the DE's. If Oliver actually shows some of that or Phillips finds his old form/stays healthy it would make a huge difference. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle went to a 3-4 and he became invisible which is why he asked to be released. Carrol is a decent coach at the end of the day, but the couple years prior he was an effective 1 tech in a 4-3. He’s a sound backup for Oliver and Phillips. Phillips is effective, but odds on favorite he doesn’t make it 18 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
