This is a typical Bills event. Losing talent before it helps us to win something.
First of all, for those who say the hiring of Pettine will help improve the image of the organization they're wrong IMO. Pettine getting hired adds to the Ryan legacy, not the Bills or Marrone legacy. Other NFL teams will now look closer at the Ryan coaching tree for coordinators and HCs. Pettine was a lone wolf and brought a Ryan scheme that was separate from anything Marrone endorsed. He ran it, he called it and coached it. And it was the only successful unit on the team. Once again the Bills manage to lose talent before it wins us anything.
Second, Schwartz is basically the opposite DC to Pettine. Schwartz plays a simple base 4-3 defense, rarely blitzes and relies mainly on front four pressure. His unit had 33 sacks in 2013. We're basically going to be scaling down our defense. Even as the DC of the Titans he was the same. The Bills players are going to be coming off a system where they were having fun, standing up in strange looks, rushing from different positions (Mario coming off both edges as well as inside) and forcing QBs into bad decisions to a defense that will sit back and let Qbs see the field.
At least our defense will match our offense in style points.
