jimmy griffin Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 We knew they were soft at DE end for some time now. Kelsey and Shoebel are undersized. Without substantive run support behind them, they look terrible. Ellison is udnersized, as well as POZ. Wittner and Ko Simpson are not impact tacklers who play bigger than they are. Thus, you have a situation where the DE ends have no support -- to hide their weakness (run support). Mithchell supports well, but he is one guy. Runs off-tackle and on the edge are killing this team. They can run away from Stroud and Williams. Problems with the Special Teams is looming large. McGee out -- has been terrible for the return game. Field position is important -- clearly. Where are teh timely speclial team plays? Bobby April needs to shake some things up... Trent needs a running game. The line has talent -- with Peters especially. They need to develope a mentality on the line and an indentity. A blocking TE might be needed. Teams are not respecting Trent. If they drop back into 9, 11 step drops backs, they need to max protect and lets him loosen up defenses and safeties that are cheating to the line and up into the box for run support. If they want to run, then go double TE and run it. Either way, they need to define what they are doing. Defenses are dictating -- and that is a sign of poor coaching and poor execution. Peters and Dockery and Fowler must take a look in the mirror. The DE backfield looks good when there a passrush. It also looks good when they have talent. Leonis needs seaoning. Not fair to blame. When you loose your starting Corner -- it is just hard to regroup (look a the Broncos without Champ). They can still win vs. the PATS. The Miami game was all turnovers. Trent needs to go back to managing the game -- and protecting the ball. More plays on special teams are needed. I like the Bills to win this weekend...

At least, not that I've seen so far. Can't pass block, can't run block, can't pick up blitzes. Either that or Fewell has been telling a bunch of talented athletes to just stand there and pick dingleberries out of their nether regions.

reddogblitz Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The only issue as I see it is stopping the turnovers and mistakes. If in the Jets game Fred catches that screen he either scores or gets us real close. The INT never happens. We punch it in for a TD. Lindell doesn't miss the field goal he missed. We don't go for it on 4th and 1 and instead take the field goal. That's 13 more for us and 7 less for the Jets. A 20 point difference. Trent doesn't fumble deep in our territory and that's 3 more less. We win handily and everyone is singing Trent, Dick, and the defense's prowess. Stop turning the ball over and making stupid mistakes and we're back to winning. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
