Re: Defensive Switch?
I just mentioned this at lunch. I think it's worth a shot. The detractors mention that Schobel is to small to play in a 3-4.Originally posted by Gunzlingr -
Re: Defensive Switch?
If the Bills Defense switches to a 3-4, it might not be as strong of a defense...i can't even type that with a straight face.Comment

Re: Defensive Switch?
I will post the same thing I posted in the Fletch thread.
Who do we have play inside? We line-up Posey and Crowell Out, who plays inside with London? This is a huge reason why I think the Bills shouldv'e gone after Oj Atogwe in the draft, versatility and a replacement for either London or Troy Vincent down the road.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Defensive Switch?
I TOTALLY agree. Buffalo has always run a 3-4 with great success. I barely EVER remember us giving up long plays of 12 yards or more when we had our old 3-4 defenses in the 80's and 90's and our run defenses were superb. This defense should have been run out of town with it's owner, Greg Williams. It has been **** since it has been here, I don't care if they were rated #2 last year. This defense NEVER comes up big when it needs to. It has some critcal flaws in it and is not suited for our personnel.Comment

Re: Defensive Switch?
Bruce Smith was not large either - his weight was inflated except for first two years.
Maybe this is reflection on Tim Anderson and I do not care if it 'stunts his growth" but the Bills need to correct the problem and there are very few free agents who can come in and help. Put a DT behind a DT if that is what is needed (I formation) - it has been done before. Denney seems pretty stout vs run and can still cover - stick him as UT for a bit.Comment

Re: Defensive Switch?
They currently don't have enough good linebackers, especially inside. Another problem is nt. Sam can't go a whole game, who gives him a breather. Schobel is to small for this defense and would get killed more than usual against the run. Although you could play Denney and Kelsay on running downs and bring Schobel in to pass rush.
As noted the current personal doesn't fit but I wouldn't be against it next year.Comment

Re: Defensive Switch?
Essentially, we'd have to draft like Dallas did last year and get a DC who knows how to run a 3-4. Mularkey and TD are probably already looking around for their guy. Think he'll be Pittsburgh's D-line coach, John Mitchell? He's been there 15 years.Originally posted by eyedogComment

Re: Defensive Switch?
I don't know about having the personnel to run the 34 defense, but I do agree that the current scheme we are using blows. I am sincerely hoping that we can get Dom Capers in here to coach defense when he is fired from Houston. I think Jerry Gray should be...
from One Bills Drive.

Re: Defensive Switch?
This is what I would do:
I'd put Sam, Tim Anderson and Bannan on the D-line. For LB's, I'd have Fletch, Crowell at ILB and Posey and Schobel at OLB.Comment

Re: Defensive Switch?
Why not put the biggest, fattest bastards you can find at D-line and all 3 LB positions. Then, put Fletcher at SS, Vincent at FS, McGee and Nate on the corners. Have the fat bastards clog the middle of the field, then let the corners and safeties make the plays on the outside.
It's worth a shot.

Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
