    Mario Williams sounds off on Bills' defensive scheme

    "It's simple, those four guys, no matter what else we do, y'all are going," said Williams. "I know for a fact, and I'm not questioning anything, but I know for a fact, I drop a lot myself. And I think last week, watching the film, Kyle dropped six-, seven-plus (times). You can go down the line and say the same thing. Marcell (Dareus) typically doesn't, but Jerry does. You got guys that you're saying gotta be disruptive and get after the quarterback.

    "It might not even mean being aggressive. It's just, us four, we need to go. I mean, we have a lot at stake because of who we are, who we've been, the amount of money this team put in up front. You gotta let 'em go, or what's the point of it?"

    Asked whether he'd approach Ryan with his concerns, Williams said that neither he nor his linemates would make demands of the coaches.

    It's just clear to them changes are needed.

    "At the end of the day, the defensive scheme, we either gotta tweak it or figure out what can we do now to change what we do to accommodate it," he said.


    The Bills were supposed to boast the most dominant defensive front in football, but they rank just 27th in sacks per pass attempt. Mario Williams suggests changes have to be made.

        All four can't just suck that fast. They are set up to fail worse than Jauron.

          arguably between Mario and Sammy they are the most heavily invested players on the team. Within 1 week they both take a shot at the system and coaching. Has Rex already lost the team? Maybe make a change on D, coaching change! Rex needs to show something... How can our D turn this bad so fast. Is it time to give Brandon Spikes a call to help with the run game?

            This is an asinine defensive approach for a coach that supposed to be a defensive genius.

              Rush four drop seven. The seven can cover for longer than the five can block the four.

              Sometimes coaching is about finding matchups that work in your favour. But when you have a large advantage in talent, you don't have to find the matchups that work in your favour. They are almost all in your favour every time you drop 7 and rush four.

                Now all of the D-Lineman have complained about the scheme. That really says something, especially since Dareus and Kyle hadn't really complained about that kind of stuff while they've been here.

                Something needs to change and maybe Mario will be the one to spark it

                    Those D-linemen ought to take a look in the mirror and ask themselves why they didn't get a single sack on Dalton. I don't think they even got a hit on him. Even when they got close, Dalton had enough space to toss the ball away - several times.

                      Outclassed and out-coached, Marvin Lewis must of asked Rex to turn in his man card.

                        They don't line up and just rush like a field game when you're a kid. Was Kyle supposed to get a sack when his assignment was dropping back like an LB, or Hughes in coverage ? Must be their fault. I don't know, I saw Dalton getting hit. Just didn't matter any because his receiver caught the ball no matter the coverage without rushing linemen or blitzes.

                            Hard to be aggressive if your back peddling. I hate this style of defense , especially with our talent.

                              DLs dropping in coverage is very infrequent. For almost all of the game, CIN was playing a more-or-less NFL standard 1 rb/1 te/3 wr set. 5 OLs. CIN's wr corps are decent, rbs Hill and Bernard can catch, so blitzing carried a risk. BUF's OL got run stops. But they were beaten by the CIN OL pass protection.

                              And it's not the first time that that has happened this season. I think that the opposition has found out ways to stymie the front four. I think it's not so much scheme than it is familiarity...


                              You are right about the 1 hit. Williams got it, according to the nfl gamebook:
