Bills WILL run 3-4

[T-Long]

“Defensively, we will start from a 3-4 alignment,” said Edwards. “But we will do what we feel is best for our players. We are not going to give anything away about exactly what we will do, but personnel will dictate what you can and what you can’t do. As far as the initial alignment, the 3-4 is what we will start off with and we will adjust from there.”

Thanks! That's a good article and it makes me like the hire more. It sounds like Edwards is definitely another one of those teachers that's Gailey likes so much...

Well, this will certainly change some of the mock drafts you see around here.

[Don't Panic]

Seems like his experience is almost exclusively front 7. That would mean Catavolos will get to continue to develop the secondary, which should be mostly unchanged by the scheme switch (minus the fact our safeties won't be splitting the deep zone anymore).

I'm excited. It will take a lot of player moves to make it successful here, but I am really excited.

The other interesting subplot of us running the 3-4 defense is Trent Edwards is screwed. He's going to look horrible in practice against his longtime nemesis, the 3-4.

Or maybe it will finally give him some practice to prepare him for the 3-4 division rivals.

That's certainly possible as well.

:rofl: I can't wait to see how bad he looks in training camp. He's horrid against the 3-4!

Or maybe he'll actually learn how to play against it. Dickie probably never had him practice against the 3-4 alignment so that's probably why he looked like a moron against it most of the time......and in addition to the fact that he sucks
