Blue Chipper Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Here is my vote for switching to a 3-4 and drafting Rivers (if available at 11) in the 1st and best wideout in the 2nd. If Rivers is gone attempt to trade down with KC or Philly and take your wideout in the 1st and use the extra pick aquired in the trade to move up and get Connors in the early 2nd. What will this do to our defense? By swithcing to a 3-4 it will allow Stroud to stay fresh because he can platoon with McCargo and Spencer at nose. Crowell and Mitchell can fly around as outside lb's and Connor and Poz can stuff the middle. That D certainly wont be run on. When KC made that trade yesterday I immediatley thought of them as another trading partner. Now maybe KC nad Philly both want the 11 pick which only helkps the Bills.

Grouse89 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Don't see it happening, we will not be switching to a 3-4 defense. Did it win us a SB ? no i don't see y everyone loves it so much we never a super bowl when we ran it and everyone wanted to use something else? now we want to go back?!?!? for how long? 3/4 years before we start calling for a 4-3 or cover 2 again? Maybe we should switch to a 3-3-5 it works for college teams, noone would be able to pass on us? By the way the 3-3-5 part was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get more LBs on the field, too. God (and In Space No One Can Hear) knows I think highly of Rivers. But McCargo and Spencer would get KILLED as an NT in a 3-4. They are NOT 2 gappers. Not even close. Stroud is the only guy that COULD hold up 2 gaps and I'm not sure we'd want to wear him out. I won't get into our DEs not being suited at some other time. GO BILLS!!!

silvermike Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 And Kelsay and Schobel are at best, 3-4 linebackers. You need a ton of talent on the line to run a good 3-4. The Bills needed Bruce, Hansen, and Ted Washington to run it well, and the Pats need Warren, Seymour, and Wilfork to run it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so you want to completly throw out the last two seasons where all our players were learning the cover two to switch to a new defense in which no of our players are fit to play just so you justify draftng Rivers at 11. Got it great plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our tackles couldn't hold up in a 3-4. And I just don't like this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
