FOX's best and Worst Offseason moves

Best moves


Bills retain defensive coordinator Jerry Gray. It's almost a given that a new coach will install his own offensive and defensive coordinators. But Mike Mularkey recognized the fine job Gray did in 2003 and left him in place.

I'm interested to see what Gray can do without GW's influence.

LeBeau helped but he didn't call the plays that's why he left.

That's why I said help.

I think the defensive ranking last year was deceiving. I think field position not gained by the O led to the D not giving up many yards. We were dead last in takaways.

I know I was just saying.

I think Grey has grown into a good defensive coordinator. We made few changes to the D, so he should benefit from the continuity in personnel who know the system.

Gray isn't as bad as he was two years ago, and not as good as it appeared this year.

The biggest problem I saw is that teams were throwing a lot for short yardage and making them (winfield 10 yds away from his man) . I'm not sure if it was our cb's or if Gray put them in those situations.

That, and there was no passrush at times.

We'll see. I think they'll get things ironed out.

Ill go with our Safties being so bad. If I got cornered got beat it was an easy TD. Milloy and whoever the hell was in at FS were non-existant all season. Unfortunately I see alot of the same this next season too. We wont be getting many picks.

I have to disagree with this. Part of the reason we had the #2 defense last year was the consistent, if unspectacular, play st SS by Lawyer Milloy. And Reese was an improvement over Prileau.

I aks this because I don't know really. What kind of coverage do your corners play? Or at least, last year? Was it generally man to man, cover 2, some type of zone? Did they play generally off the receiver by a ton or right up on them? I am just curious to see how that might change with Vincent replacing the faster Winfield in the defensive backfield.

Chris Bown of Bills Digest said he see the Bills using a lot more of cover 2 but not exclusively.
