Will Rex Ryan Take A Hint From Wade Phillips

[BillsImpossible]

and simplify his defense?

Before Super Bowl 50 started, I watched an interview with Von Miller talking about Wade's defense.

"Guys aren't thinking too much before the play."

Wade Phillips defense is simple. Players don't have to think too much before the play happens.

Rex's defensive scheme is too complex. The game of football boils down to players making plays, not deciphering the secret unknown and unwritten language of a defensive system that fails to keep it simple, stupid.

Rex will be Rex and you'll see a major turnover in personnel

Re: Will Rex Ryan Take A Hint From Wade Phillips

Not once did I see Ware or Miller drop back into pass coverage. The lbs never looked confused and the defense was playing on the same page.
Then there's Rex's d ..... Oh well .
I'll just sit back and wait till all the hype and glitter are finally washed off and the Ryans are exposed for the frauds they are and sent packing for good.

I saw the thread title and I thought- "was the hint that Wade like Rex is not a HC but a good DC"?

Re: Will Rex Ryan Take A Hint From Wade Phillips

After watching last season with our once dominant defense being coached by a proclaimed a defensive genius, i gotta admit i was confused. I didn't see any Denver Linemen or Rush Linebackers in pass coverage all night. Why was Von Miller rushing the passer every down? I though highly paid pass rushers were best in coverage like Mario Williams covering running backs. How come their DTs didn't drop into coverage like we had our DTs?

Yes i'm still bitter over last season.

You weren't watching then. Miller was in coverage multiple times

Yeah, exactly. There's nothing wrong with dropping Von Miller into coverage because he's really good at pass coverage. He picked off Tom Brady in the AFCCG, FFS.

Exactly. I think Denver's D is the model that Rex Ryan is trying to build. They had lineman dropping into coverage often, and blitzers coming from everywhere on the field.

Re: Will Rex Ryan Take A Hint From Wade Phillips

The dropping lineman into coverage thing is overplayed. For sure Mario is better of rushing than covering. Nobody will ever dispute that. But it din't happen nearly as much as some posters make it sound and its not the reason why our D sucked.

I do agree about the complicated part. Most players on that D have made it clear that our system has too many do and don'ts, adjustments and analysis pre play. This guys are athletes not scholars. Keep it simple and let them go at it. Its what Schwartz did and it worked perfectly. Rex has them doing too much of the stuff they are not supposed to do.

Von Miller had an awesome coverage stop on the sideline against Cotchery. Someone send the film to Mario and tell him to buck up.

It seems silly that professionals, that have been playing football before their first pubic hair sprouted, are being asked to think and over think what has now become natural. Defensive Football. There seems to be some serious ego and over thinking going on in the minds of those that do not play on the field.

Phillips kept it simple and did what had to be done... All without anyone thinking or needing a spread sheet or calculator. See the guy with the ball running?... Get him. See the skinny guy trying to catch the ball? don't let him. See the guy droppin back after they say hike? get in his face fast. Too much over thinking going on. Keep it simple stoopid!

Wade and the players even said they keep it simple. Rex knows better though.

Re: Will Rex Ryan Take A Hint From Wade Phillips

The Bills defensive players are all thinking the same thing after watching Denver's Super Bowl D last night.

"That could have been our defense."

They have the talent, but Rex puts his system ahead of the talent he has.

He seems like he doesn't care if a player is a square peg, he's going to force him in to his own round hole on defense.

That doesn't sound good.
