Can We Fix The Defense?

[Wally The Barber]

I think it is pretty hard to argue that the Defense is the biggest concern going into this season.
Perhaps it would be wise to scrap the Tampa 2 and sign two very large defensive tackles.
I think it is fair to say that there will be a few available next week!

If you don't have the quality Defensive tackles on your team, I see no need to waste the 2007-08 season if you do not have the personel!
I would like to see the Bills aggresively search for 2 fill the gap DT's

Something along the lines of Sam Adams and Warren Sapp! (Rent a player, 1 yr deal)

If the Bills want to live or die with the Tampa 2 defense then we need atleast 2 speed Defensive tackles and they are pretty hard to find!

Its my opinion that if nothing is done to fix the problem, it might cost Dick Jauron his job !
I do not think the fans will cut Jauron or the Bills any slack when the problem is obvious and nothing was done to solve the problem.
The Darwin Walker deal may come back to haunt Marv Levy by the end of the season.

The pressure is clearly on the shoulders of J.P. Losman to score points on nearly every drive.


The last thing that the Bills need is another coaching change but a wasted 2007-08 season will not fly in Buffalo!


Think about it!

Wasn't Sapp in a Tampa 2? I do believe so, which means he isn't a "fill the gap DT".

I want 2 space eaters at DT. 450 lbs. each with size 21 EEEE shoes.

It's a gamble they'll make it out of the game without going into cardiac arrest but we pay good $$ for our tickets. Put 5 more on the practice squad and double the food budget.

Sounds like the guys we need!

I agree- any D not predicated on stopping the run will only get you too far. The Tampa 2 is a situational D in the sense that it works in the perfect situation- like Indy where they have the offensive firepower to make teams pass or Chicago where they have the perfect personnel for it.

Buffalo has neither.

I really hate this D.

I just do not think we have the players to run it effectively.

I believe a quik fix till we get the right players is to change the defense with bigger players at this point!

I think as long as we bend and don't break...in other words we have to hope that the other team keeps turining the ball over in our red-zone or they miss alot of field goals.

Re: Can We Fix The Defense?

What do you mean, fix the defense? Dickey & Marv must think it's fine because they refuse to bring people in who can play football! Yes, I'm frustrated and it looks like this defense could possibly be one of the worst we've seen around here in sometime. The other scary part is that Perry Fool seems clueless on how to utilize his talent and obviously Dickey is part of the problem. We will see. Let's hope for the best.

Would prefer the 3-4 myself. Who knows? With a quarterback like Tom Brady in our division, it might actually be a good idea to have a defense that is dedicated to stopping the pass. I don't think you can say the Tampa 2 is flawed when you have a very good defense in Chicago, Minnesota, Oakland and Tampa Bay running it .. Ours just isn't on that level yet. Give our guys more time to get the personnel trained and we just might have ourselves a winner.
