All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I think that they are making a scheme shift, but not to a 3-4.
I think that they are going to incorporate some of the scheme that the NY Giants run which is a sort-of hybrid: it isn't the all-out blitzing scheme of J.Johnson, although it incorporates a lot of those concepts, and it isn't a Tampa 2 scheme, although it has some T-2 concepts as well, and it isn't the kind of Titans 46 that the Bills ran under G.Williams/J.Gray and that Washington has been running, although there are some elements of that in the scheme as well.
Up until now, P.Fewell's scheme has been pretty much a vanilla version of the Tampa 2 scheme (he admitted as much to the Buffalo press more than once) that T.Dungy has been running in Indy, which is just a little different than the scheme that L.Smith has run in Chicago (initially Smith's scheme incorporated a bunch of sophisticated blitzes, but a couple of years ago they went away from those blitzes and, for a time, ony had two blitz schemes in their whole package) and the one that Dungy used to run when he was with Tampa Bay.
I think that the Bills have recognized that they needed to make some changes in that scheme and, after seeing what the NY Giants were able to do against the Pats in their two games against them last year, may be looking to add some of what the Giants were doing last year to their own scheme.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
if we blitz more it doesn't require or imply a scheme change.
it just means we are taking more risk.
we started blitzing more late in the year, and it got to the qb fairly well too.
we tend to blitz either the safety off the edge from the slot, or the LBs when they line up right over their gaps. good because it makes it hard to figure out who is coming, even without having to zone blitz.

Its pure speculation on my part, but heres what Im adding up:
Comments that we want to get bigger on the DL
Cutting a smallish Tripplett
Singing a LB who has played ILB
I wouldnt think they will do that, but maybe?
No chance.... Stroud is a 4-3 DT. Why would Jauron go and switch schemes when he knows we were only 1-2 players away from being a solid defense? The D will be set with the addition of Stroud and another pass rusher.
I don't know about a total scheme shift, but a little modifying to the Tampa-2 and you could have something similar to the defense that stopped the Patriots in the Super Bowl. You know the entire AFC East is watching that tape over and over and over......
