Here's why....
Anytime you are a coach in this league and you dont have what you believe you need to win personnel wise you tend to reach a little bit in other areas such as play calling, style of play and so on... Im pretty sure we can all agree that this roster is lacking. I dont think we are lacking a ton of players but I do think we lack a couple of IMPACT players. Guys who change games, and that starts with our DL.
Lets face it, a cover 2 defense with starters at DE such as Kelsay and Denney is like a 3-4 defense with Dwayne Robertson playing the Nose. It might get you by but its not going to make your defense a shut down unit. However once you get the player that makes your defense what it is such as the acquisition of Jenkins then there is a dramatic difference. The essence of a 3-4 defense relies on the ability of the nose tackle the essence of a cover 2 relies on the defensive ends, thats why the Colts have had a playmaking defense for years even though they have had a revolving door at DT. So although the acquisition of Stroud was HUGE for our D, it still did not address what our D really needs.....
My point is that Jauron may have made bad decisions here and there but overall the Bills have been just a few impact plays away from winning most of the games we played this year and I think Jauron knows exactly what he needs to bring in either in FA or Draft in order to win.
I know and we all know that Jauron and co. in the next draft will certainly draft the players we need. If we get a new coach in here who knows what will happen.
Im confident that this team will vastly improve personnel wise through FA and draft and then we will be able to judge Jauron with a full deck of cards rather then just a makeshift team. Denney, Kelsay, Preston, Reed as a #2, Royal, Ellison, Simpson\Scott, are all players that Jauron starts out of necessity and those are very crucial positions.
Im willing to see what Jauron comes up with this off-season.
