AMEN! This crap of sending the whole front line on first and second downs and then turtle up into the historical McD soft zone on third down totally frustrates the crap out of me! It's a good thing my TV isn't smart enough to get pissed off at me cuz I'm screaming my azz off at the poor thing every time they do it!

Taking a page from Wrecks, they will blitz LBs on third down. 😁

As for an overall philosophy revamp, two words: zen buddhism.

Bobby Babich has mastered the Sean McDermott philosophy of talking a lot but saying nothing !!!   This is going to be a big change.

It’s a slow time of the year for the NFL, so I thought I throw out the following topic.
 

With the start of our home opener against the Ravens less than 100 days away, what offensive or defensive philosophy or scheme changes are you hoping to see from the Bills for the upcoming season?

I think a more multiple coverage secondary with more 2 high safeties.  I expect alot of Dorian Williams early and often.  Early down 4-3 fooled Baltimore early on in the playoffs third down defense was terrible.

Our run first offense cut turnovers in half but it also resulted in Josh losing rapport with the WRs and TEs. By the end of the year we were playing turtle ball and it was very predictable. We had Shakir as a deep threat and no one underneath. Someone needs to step up this year for midrange receptions. 

 

I was impressed by the performances our coaching staff got out of our defense in the playoffs. We really can stop the run when we have to. I'm still waiting for a defensive playmaker to materialize. I'll be happy to get ten games of situational pass rushing out of Bosa. This is the last year I give Beane a pass on personnel. Josh is underpaid compared to much lesser QBs and his salary cap generosity is not being leveraged wisely. Without a pass rushing threat, I expect more disguised stunts and blitzes that work some of the time.
