Buffalo Bills: How can they fix the run defense?

Asking first-time defensive coordinator George Edwards to install a 3-4 defense despite inheriting a roster with a bunch of undersized front seven players seemed like a bad decision way back in August, and nothing that happened during the season made it look any better. Edwards jettisoned the notion of a true 3-4 early on, subbing in Alex Carrington or Spencer Johnson on running downs, but it wasn't enough to prevent Buffalo from finishing dead last in our Adjusted Line Yards stats. The Bills only stuffed running backs at or behind the line of scrimmage 13 percent of the time, well below the league average, and they were among the worst in the league at bringing down runners who reached the second level of the defense. During one particularly brutal three-game stretch, the Bills surrendered 689 yards on the ground, and they allowed at least 200 yards rushing in eight of their 16 games.

You mean an undersized NT that is better suited to play in a 4-3? While it's hard not to love his lunch pail mentality and his play the truth is Williams is ill suited to play on this D.

Sarcasm, Jokeman. If you've paid attention to my comments on this board, you know I share your sentiments.

I'd love to see where anyone said we "must have" Green.

Some people on his board have said the Bills should take him at #3 as the BPA.

From what I can tell, most people simply consider him one of several options, not a "must-have" prospect.

I know, nobody has mentioned taking Green at #3.

You are probably one of them.

And for this team at this time he shouldn't even be considered. That's what losing organizations do. Check out the Lions when Millen was there.

And as we all know, there is zero difference between mentioning Green at #3 and saying we must have him at #3.

Shouldn't even be mentioned. He's a wr, simple as that.

You don't seem to understand what it is I'm laughing at.
