Tom Donahoe bristles when people criticize his pass rush. He reminds us that the Bills were ninth in the NFL in sacks last year. He says he's high on his young defensive ends. But signing Jason Gildon, an aging rush linebacker, is a clear sign that the GM is worried about the Bills' rush. Gildon is 32 and in decline, but he'll help if used creatively. He became the all-time sack leader in Pittsburgh in a 3-4 alignment. The Bills should mix in some 3-4 to maximize their enhanced depth at linebacker. If it cuts into the playing time of Ryan Denney and Chris Kelsay, so be it. Donahoe needs to win - now.
