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

Mitchell, if he could learn to tackle, might give Davis some competition. Hopefully, Moats will develop for the long term.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
i hope we see a big improvement in his play now that we have switched schemes. it didn't seem like he had enough speed to cover all that ground in the 4-3
I agree. I just thought it was interesting that Chris would imply that even though POZ is still learning, he's already penciled in as the starter this early while Davis who knows the 3-4 is competing. I would have thought it would be the other way around.

I really think that Poz is a very good player, although he - like most of our good players - is often underappreciated by many Zoners.

The 3-4 and 4-3 are not that different where you make Poz compete for a spot. He's much too talented. Depending on your 3-4 scheme, you can make it look like a 4-3 the majority of the time, i.e., when you shift your rush LB to a 7 technique basically and keep him standing and then slide you linebackers toward that side.
People don't line-up in straight 3-4 positioning that you see in the play preview in Madden.

Well, they play different positions. Poz is by far the best Mike LB we have, while Davis and Mitchell are both better fits as the Ted.
Plus, I've thought from the very beginning that Davis was going to be brought in to be a mentor to whatever young ILB we picked in the later rounds. That turned out to be Moats. If Davis gets beaten out, he can still fill his role as mentor. Honestly, I'm a big fan of Moats' long-term potential at ILB. Having a guy with his pass-rush ability brings a lot of versatility to our defensive scheme. I'm really hoping Moats gets more and more playing time as the season goes on.

with an extra linebacker, i think Poz becomes more versatile. he is disguised better and more likely to play a part at stopping the run and blitzing the QB.
the jauron defense had him in coverage as well as make up for a weak DL that didn't get pressure. Add to it that he didn't really have any support back there and you had a very difficult set up.
i am pretty confident that Maybin, Poz, and Davis are set in stone. one of the young guys may be kelsay out.. im kind of excited to see kelsay play at OLB though to be honest.. he looks a little like bryce paup... not that i anticipate that kind of performance.. but just want to see how he does... i feel that way about a lot of guys actually

Poz isn't Patrick Willis or Jon Beason, but he is better than an ageing veteran retread like Davis. Poz is really the only thing close to a sure thing for the Bills linebacking corps.
