I thought this was a good article from Buffalorumblings. Figured i'd share for those that don't visit the site.
When the Buffalo Bills hired George Edwards as the team's new defensive coordinator on February 4, it was announced that the team would be transitioning from the 4-3 zone-style defense implemented by previous head coach Dick Jauron to the 3-4 defense Edwards worked in with Cleveland and Miami. Switching from a defensive system that calls for light, quick personnel to a system that requires big, physical personnel is one of the more challenging transitions an NFL team can make.
After the Bills' free agent signings of former Ravens DE Dwan Edwards and former Broncos ILB Andra Davis on Tuesday, the team's 3-4 personnel is starting to take shape nicely.
With those two signings and a few tweaks to the depth chart, the Bills dramatically improved not only their starting lineup - where both Edwards and Davis will likely reside in Week 1 of the 2010 season - but their overall depth as well. While the Bills look much better equipped to move to the 3-4 today than they did yesterday, the team is still lacking personnel in the two most critical positional areas to this defensive system.
