    Harvey looking to anchor down

    If there’s one player particularly excited about the Buffalo Bills’ new 3-4 defensive scheme, it would have to be nose tackle Lonnie Harvey. With bulk and power being the main prerequisite for the defensive line in the coming season, Harvey appears to fit the bill.

    The 6-3, 342-pounder out of Morgan State has all that and then some – topped off with some speed and agility not typical of a man his size. How far those assets will take him remain to be seen.

      I'm really hopeful that this guys can play at a high level. We are not deep at NT and if he can be the third guy that would be awesome!

        Guys like this are usually camp fodder. But he'll make the team by default.

        And for ****'s sake, KYLE WILLIAMS IS NOT A 3-4 NT!!!!!!!!!

              Without the "fluff" there wouldn't be anything to write about.

                Good thing we aren't running a traditional 3-4.

                  That's not a good thing.

                  Pretty sure we're still running a 2 gap 3-4, where Williams looks to be a massively bad fit. One hell of a 4-3 3 tech, but I'm not so sure on him clogging up the middle for 40 plays a game.

                    It's going to be a hybrid 3-4 just like Miami ran last year. There will be variations of the 3 (DE,DT, and even LB's) lining up front as well as mixed 4-3 looks. Kyle Williams isn't and won't be expected to holding down 2 gaps on running plays.

                      The only reason we're not is because this FO is incapable of finding a traditional 3-4 NT who can start.

                      And if we are not running a traditional 3-4, why waste time on Harvey?

                      And did you not watch this team for the last 4 years? Did you bot see the horrible results from being undersized at key defensive positions?

                        It's called transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Almost every team has done it when changing between these schemes.

                            then we're not actually implementing a non-traditional 3-4. We're implementing a stopgap solution, which is the only reason Williams will be playing NT: lack of other options.

                              Maake Kemoeatu (signed with Skins for 2 years, $7 million)
                              Shaun Smith (this one is questionable)
                              Gabe Watson (re-signed with Cards)


                              There's 3 that I found in a 5 minute Google search. Not that any of these guys are spectacular, but they're better fits for the position than Williams. There's no excuse for not getting Kemoeatu at least as a stop-gap while Troupe (or whoever we would have ended up with, since Kemoeatu signed before the draft) learns and we explore other options.
